Three for Thursday

First, about the Celtics 106-102 win at home in Game 5 last night, there's really only one thing to say: Ubuntu! I purposefully avoided watching most of the game last night, because like a good contingent of Boston sports fans, any time I watch, my team loses. I brought work home last night and sat in my kitchen while the game was on in the other room. I finally swallowed my fears and watched the last six minutes, only to see the lead shrink to one. I nearly had a heart attack when Garnett rattled his first free throw in with 3.4 seconds left. But all is well, and they won.

But, still, leave it up to the anti-Boston media to take a big, steaming dump on the C's after they held on against a very, very good Detroit team. How many times can they say something like "With all due respect to Boston..." and then basically call them the worst team to get this far in the history of everything, ever? It sucks.

You know what else sucks? Studying for the bar. I spent last summer in inexplicably sweltering South Royalton, Vermont studying. There wasn't much to do for fun. We did have a couple of risque moments (booze + stressed guys and girls + heat + river = you figure it out), but we never did anything quite like this.

In a nearly unrelated note, I'm proud to introduce you all to The Hoary Marmot, which is your #1 Source for Gross Generalizations and Unsubstantiated Conjecture Regarding Life in Fairbanks, Alaska. LSWTF.com will remain your #1 source for gross generalizations about life in Vermont and unsubstantiated conjecture about the quality of baseball in San Francisco.

Cheers!
