Love the internet site called, “The Onion.”
The people who write the stories, take the photos and keep this web site fresh are true comedy geniuses.
If you used to laugh at everything on the old Saturday Night Live shows - the ones with Belushi, Akroyd, Martin, all the greats - then you will love “The Onion” web site.

My fantasy football team is currently in second and only a handful of points away from being in first place. This weekend my team fared very well. I had a couple of players injured but replaced them and didn’t lose much ground. I would really like to overtake first place next week and this is the time of the year that the teams have to compensate for injuries and poor coaching decisions with major adjustments. So every game outcome this week will be a crapshoot for picking winners. Of course, I have some good picks in mind and we’ll just have to wait and see if they pay off.

I’m searching for a good regular Spades partner. I’d like to find a young woman to partner with, but she has to be very competitive and completely understand the game strategy. A good partner can read your leads and adapt the game play for the good of the team.
I only play online spades occasionally because it is too frustrating to lose a game when you have an inferior partner. But the only way to find a good one is to play a few games and see if your styles click. So far, I’m still playing solo.

Well this weekend was the end of Vandy’s winning streak. It was also the extension of UT’s losing streak.
Hated to see Texas beat Oklahoma. The only salvation for my team picks and favs was that OSU beat Missouri.
That’s about all I care about in college ball.
Tennessee playing Pittsburgh today. Wonder if the Titans can keep their winning streak going. I’m not betting on that but I really would love to see Collins pull off one more win before Vince Young comes back and ruins the season for them.
Taylor had surgery and the doctors say he is OK to play today, so the Redskins have a good chance of winning their game against the Rams. They have a couple other key players out for injuries, but St. Louis is the worst team in the League, so if they lose it will have to be for a very bizarre reason on the field today.

Today I got lunch at McDonalds and was happy to find out that they are giving away game pieces for the Monopoly game that comes around about once a year.
I used to play the board game Monopoly as a kid on Sunday afternoons. There were a lot of kids in the neighborhood where I grew up and we all loved to play board games and card games together.
I like the idea of winning prizes or money from McDonalds. I hope to get a winning game piece on my large fries. Love the fries at McDonalds - I think that’s the best thing on their menu!
