The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Football Season!

It's that time of year!!!  As much as I hate to see summer time drift away, I'm more than ready for some football.  Anyone speak Spanish?  If so repeat after me, OCHO CINCO!!!!

This Thursday the regular season starts and so does my private football pool!  We usually get about 30 players and the key is to A.) pick the winners of each match up (the easy part) and B.) assign each winner a value, with the most likely getting a 16 and least likely winner getting a 1.  Whoever amasses the most points for the week wins...and then there's an end of year prize for she who has the most points for the  year.

Did I say she?  :)

Yes I did.  Last year I had my hat trick when I won THREE YEARS IN A ROW.  Here's hoping for #4!

I just logged onto CBS Sportsline where all the info is kept and it seems the commissioner has changed the name of the league to............."DON'T LET JOSIE WIN!!!"

Poor guy.  It can't be easy losing to me year after year and getting those less than gracious emails from me year after year.  Yes, I'm a trash talker - that's half the fun of winning!  I was just scrolling through the commissioner's email and it seems that at the beginning of every September I have an email from him saying he'll be winning Week 1, taking my money, blah blah blah....

So here's my key to kicking ass every year...

Psst....come closer....I cannot say this too loudly.....

If I want to win..............

I need only do ONE THING!

Which is.......do not take football advice from Waffles.  It almost killed me last year, which made for an exciting photo finish, but I still won.  *whew*

Mmmm is anything better than Sundays during football season?  I don't think so!  Hey, that reminds me....is there a sportsbook in Atlantic City?????

Play smart like Tom Brady!

I think you can leave out the football on the Waffles statement.

Don't take any advice from Waffles. Evah.

If your question about AC sports books is serious (I'm not sure if it is), the answer is no. There was a legislative attempt last year to legalize sports bets for AC casinos, but it went nowhere.

Donnie, Now you tell me!

Grumpy, yes I was serious - I hadn't even thought of it until I wrote that. Bummer...

Ocho Cinco? Will that be the Pats record after 13 games this year? I'd be pretty happy if the Bucs were at 8-5 after 13 games this year. For the Pats, that's a disappointing year.

Neo Baby come on! I expect the Pats to have a PERFECT season. No one's going to beat them.

Ocho Cinco is our new Patriot!

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

I'm busier than a cat covering up shit on a concrete floor so you'll have to forgive me for not posting today. What, you thought this was a post?  Um, no it isn't. But, if you're desperate to read something about Very Josie, and if you like crafty humor, you could go ---> HERE as this post tickles my funny bone.  Go on now, go THERE and enjoy some fine writing for a change, and tell him Very Josie sent you. Snaps for Josie!  (you have to go HERE to appreciate this line and then come back here to leave me a comment.  Just because I'm too busy to post doesn't mean I don't like getting comments.  Now scoot!)

Upset

I got a lot of much needed sleep last night and woke up with intentions of writing a very funny story but plans have changed my friends. I just read Tony's Latest Post and I'm too worried or upset to write about anything so frivolous.  I think many of his readers just see him as an interesting story, and not a person.  I see the person, who I was trying so very hard to steer away from a train wreck, but it didn't work.  In fact, the part that scares me the most is maybe I, with my good intentions, pushed him further off the cliff.  Maybe I put too much pressure on him to avoid the machines - too much pressure about something he is unable to control.  I need to shut the fuck up and stop giving out unsolicited advice, which most likely will not happen.  I cannot express how badly I feel about this. I was only trying to help because sometimes when you're in the eye of the hurricane you don't have the entire picture, at least not a...
