Brain Freeze

Hooray! Tonight we finally bottomed out the mercury, and are headed into the land of temperatures with a – sign next to the number. Below Zero! It took some time, and a lot of hard work, but we finally made it. It’s officially too cold to go outside. I of course welcomed this with open arms. Unlike the legions of buttholes who stock up on things like bottled water, and canned goods before a big storm, I went to the liquor store. Who wants to be stuck in the same place for multiple days sober? Most of the schools have already cancelled tomorows classes, and I even saw streaming across the bottom of the screen, that the Columbus Pole Vault Academy is closed tomorow as well. That should be the litmus test for when everything else needs to close. If it’s too cold to pole vault, it’s too cold to do anything. Seriously, when it gets down below zero, and the high is only going to be in the low 1’s, just shut everything down. Don’t make people go to work on days like that, it’s just not worht it. Obviously the important places like Wendy’s and the liquor store should stay open, as well as hospitals and stuff, but the other things can just shut down. It’s friday, nobody wants to be there anyway.

Apparently the extreme cold has effected a few peoples brains as well. OSU receiver Brian Hartline is leaving early for the NFL. I have to say, this makes me pretty happy. That dude sucks, and is a white WR. A combo no good football program wants to have. The problem I have with this whole deal, is who the hell has convinced him it would be wise to go to the NFL. Even Tim Tebow was able to akcnowledge the fact that he was undraftable. When does Hartline expect to be drafted anyway? I did enjoy hearing the “experts” specualting on Tebow’s decision. Where was he going to go anyway? Was he really going to pass up a chance to boost his own ego even further, by pinning it all on the slight chance he gets drafted as an H-back by Tampa in the 7th round? At least Tebow could be an experiment for an NFL team. Hartline, is worthless. His departure was the best thing to happen to OSU all year. Him leaving opens a roster spot for better, faster, blacker wide receivers to get some playing time at OSU. Now, if the coaches can try and develope young Terrell Pryor as a passer, instead of making him lose valuable practice time at wide receiver. Lots of folks are dissing pryor, but he was just a frosh, with a horrible line. Next season the line will be better, and he was the most accurate passer in the Big ten.

Is anyone else dissapointed with the interviews by the survivors of the plane that crashed in the Hudson river? These guys are blowing a chance to spice things up a bit, and make the most of their 15 minutes. Not one of them made any smart assed comments. Hopefully tomorow will bring some better comments by survivors, and some actual footage of the plane crashing. And god willing, it will be in HD.
