Scratch that.
At Week 13 I set out to begin both a long, humorous look at how I became a Johnny-Come-Lately, renegade Fantasy Football waiver wire junkie; as well as give a week by week look at my Sunday lineups. You know – the smacks, the spills, the thrill of victory; the agony of…Well, you [...]
There’s at least three things in this life I said I’d never do: anal sex; IV drugs and fantasy football. Well, two out of three ain’t bad. I’m not sure why, but not unlike anal sex and IV drug use, there was some sort of ugly stigma attached to fantasy football.
The first thing Trent Jacobs registered as he began the slow climb to wakefulness was the sweet aromatic smell of freshly brewing coffee. This, the fact that coffee was brewing, gave him quite a start. This shock was only solidified when he glanced at his digital alarm clock, which was flashing all zeros.
“Oh [...]
Wow kids. The Flu is in full effect and in the immortal words of..hmm was Cool Moe D…I’m “illin” and not in a good way. Be that as it may, the show must go on. There’s no stopping the “Birthday Party” in fact, as I type this I am loading up on antibiotics, grapefruit and [...]

So, today is inauguration day today for our buddy Ray Nagin. I wonder if you’ll be there in the audience at the Convention Center booing, or better yet, throwing Hieneken bottles at him.

The first stop Jason Chambers made after the results from his drug test came back clean was his dealer’s house in Manchester.
He shuffled, slightly nervous, as he rang the doorbell of the brownstone. There were two cars outside, including his dealer’s car, but the doorbell went unanswered for a good minute or two.
Captains log stardate…
Oh wait a minute, wrong channel. Obviously the coffee hasn’t fully kicked in yet. We’re talking Na No Wri Mo here, not Star Trek; which is probably a good thing in hindsight.
Ryan Hendrickson scanned the crowd in Piedmont’s cafeteria, searching for his sons, Roger and Ethan.
For a moment, Ryan felt a fleeting sense of vertigo, as he remembered every mess hall he’d ever visited.
He remembered when he was in the military, then the agency and, most recently, when he was at Guantanamo Bay; the sickly smell [...]
