I did end up taking Cadillac Williams in the first round (as predicted) and I only took a small amount of shit for it. I think people were still being semi-polite in the first round.
It was kind of confusing because half of us were on a conference call and the other half were chatting drafting online. Sometimes it was like reading a book and watching tv at the same time. It was like I couldn’t fully concentrate on anything, but I know there was talk of Erin’s boobs, scotch, Jeff George, children, strippers, and tea parties. (Don’t ask me. I told you I didn’t know what was going on already.)
Funniest part of the night: The Kaiser had to draft on autopilot when he was on his way home from work. He got David Carr and Mark Brunell in back to back picks. I wonder if you can sue CBS Sportsline for crappy rankings?
For those of you who care, here is what I ended up with:
QB Carson Palmer
QB Aaron Brooks
RB Carnell Williams
RB Reggie Bush
RB Thomas Jones
RB T.J. Duckett
WR Hines Ward
WR Derrick Mason
WR Braylon Edwards
WR Ashley Lelie
TE Randy McMichael
K Adam Vinatieri
K John Kasay
D Dolphins
D Cardinals (shut up – they play Green Bay on Miami’s bye week)
Feel free to make fun of me or praise me as you see fit. I won’t know anyway. I’ll be driving the kids to the beach where I may or may not be able to get online.
If I don’t talk to you until Monday – have a happy Labor Day weekend and Happy Birthday Mom! Sorry that we couldn’t be in Florida for your birthday, but I can see that you have sent Ernesto up to punish us for our insolence.

I have my fantasy football draft tonight. Woo hoo!
But this isn’t just ANY regular fantasy football draft. This is a blogger draft. That’s right. You heard me. I’ll be on a conference call with other dorks cool cats just like me.
So if any of you were wondering who I will be taking money from at the end of the season. Here is a list. (In alphabetical order, just like at the beginning of Dallas)
BIYF
Bump
Child’s Play x 2
CroutonBoy
Genuine
Kemp
Marginally Clever
MetroDad
More Diapers
Queen of Spain
The Kaiser
Suckers.
It should be a pretty fun draft. Now I’m off to buy beer and chips, so it will be more like a live draft.
(My prediction for this evening: I’m drafting 9th. In all the rankings I’ve been researching, Carnell Williams is the #9 running back. So unless some dolt other respected player drafts a WR or Peyton Manning in the first 8 picks, I’ll be picking a Buccaneer player as my first pick causing all the other players to make fun of me for the rest of the draft.)
ps – I am such a winner today. Not only did I win Cynical Dad’s Incestuous Music Challenge (It’s not as gross as it sounds) but I also just won a $25 Visa gift certificate on Blingo!
I also won a $25 visa gift card for Alison, since I signed up for Blingo through her. So, click the red button, sign up, search like you normally would on google anyway, and win us stuff.
Do you want to know what I was searching for when I won this time? I swear to your Gods that I was searching for a “football beer” image. I knew my love for beer and football would pay off eventually.

Here is The Goon Squad’s favorite joke.
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Apple.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha…
I’m not kidding. That is the whole joke. I don’t get get it either.
They both tell it to each other (and other puzzled looking people) all of the time. They both crack up, all of the time. Sometimes when they tell the joke they think it is hilarious to actually knock on the refrigerator, or a door.
And sometimes they mix it up and it goes like this:
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Orange.
It is almost like that old joke “Orange you glad I didn’t say banana?” except different. I guess if I had a captive sibling audience that thought I was really funny I’d tell the same stupid joke over and over too.

Okay. Who the hell keeps searching for “wonder pets ringtone”?
Seriously.
Like that song doesn’t get stuck in your head enough as it is? I tried to find it for those of you who are lucky enough to not already know it, but I didn’t find it.
(But I did find The Wonder Pets Go Pee Pee)

You guys aren’t going to believe this, but Tammie made pictures of the human reproductive system using candy. I’m serious. Go look.
Last week I got a hit when somebody typed in this question “Does Tori Amos like Helmet?” Um. I don’t know.
Karl has inspired me. Send me a picture of yourself (or your kid, or your animal or just a picture of your computer) reading my site and I’ll post it to my Blog Appreciation set on flickr.
Deadwood with a laugh track. It really changes the feel of the show.
