Agree or Die

College football season over ? Check. Super Bowl done ? Check. National Signing Day passed ? Check. Basketball season ? Yawn. Baseball season ? Well I could write about the Caribean World Series as it looks like the Tigers are going to win... except that would be the Venezuelan Tigres de Aragua who happened to win their 3rd straight game yesterday. MLB pitchers and catchers report to spring training in 9 days. Maybe I should just take a day off ?

Today was going to be a slow day on the Michigan blog-o-sphere. Brian at MGoBlog had decided to take a vacation. But rather than let his readers talk amongst themselves and wonder when he will return, he decided to turn over the site to some guest posters. Seems like a pretty good idea given the deep pool of Michigan blogger talent available. Some fresh perspectives would be nice for a change. First up was our friends from the Determiner's Army of Correct Fandom. I will admit the piece was both humourous and clever despite my feelings about the author. The results.... well, let's just say my friend Billy does not agree with me and while this was predictable it has been a day of pure internet gold.

Note to self: It is not such a great idea to allow someone that has spent the last year insulting, belittling, and generally making enemies of people that read your blog become a featured guest writer on your blog.

Vacation

I just had this vacation photo sent to me from my friend Billy. Since Michigan was not in a bowl game this year, he decided to go someplace warm and just relax.

He swears on his stack of media guides that the one on the right (#20) is prettier and has a higher SAT score. He says his personal experiences will confirm that her teeth are whiter and her taste in music is better.

On the other hand he reports the one on the left (#1) has onion breath, oppressive ear wax, and lint in her belly button. He swears that despite being faster and stronger, she can't read the label on a beer bottle and has a serious drug problem.

I told him he was being ridiculous and judgemental. I'm not sure I can be friends with Billy anymore.
