Okay, tip-off for March Madness was a few minutes ago, and from here on out my priority will be drinking beer and watching basketball. I'll have some more posts through the rest of the day, but my heart won't really be in it, and it will probably be obvious. Hey, everyone else is fucking off at work, why can't I?
For those of you stuck in an office without beer and television, and with constrictive measures like a "boss" and strict policies against not wearing pants, you have my empathy. I was once unable to follow the tournament at all, and work was so hectic I didn't even enter a tourney pool. The NCAA coverage in Iraq that year was woefully slow. So I consider this karmic payback.
Anyway, use this as your NCAA tourney open thread. Right now Xavier's up over Georgia 5-2. Updates not likely.

Hey, everyone else is fucking the dog at work, why can't I?
RUN STELLA! RUN!!!
VHS? living the highlife!
So i see Matt got the Vasectomy with the frozen peas to go. Don't forget: The frozen peas are malleable enough that you can get them right in there and get the swelling down.
and for the record… i envy you. waay too much
Mayy, when do the strippers and/or whores show up?
"karmic payback"…hmmm…that would be a good name for a blog…
Stella is watching you masturbate.
Anybody else choose Siena because it was their favorite Crayon?
Also, anyone in that whole "stuck in an office" category like me, Sportsline.com's live feed kicks ass.
That's supposed to be Matt. I have too many screens working so I couldn't see what I was typing. I wish it was because I was drunk but I'm at work so I'm only stoned.
Those half strung x-mas lights are the sadddest thing Ill see all day.
Not only do you have a VCR, but you have a collection of VCR Cassettes in your entertainment center…..LAH OOOOOZER!
Nice cracked stucco fireplace. Is that floor cherry? Looks warm.
Also, anyone in that whole "stuck in an office" category like me, Sportsline.com's live feed kicks ass.
link? i'm watching the one linked off the ncaa site right now and if that's the one you're using, you're far too drunk to be at work or joking.
Those Xmas lights are fully string over the fireplace. And it's a NYC apartment with a working fireplace, so I'm not sweating the cracked stucco. The VHS tapes belong to my film school roommates. Except for Howard the Duck. That baby's all mine.
Xavier's winning? Fold up the chairs and go home boys! My pool's a lock!
Except for Howard the Duck. That baby's all mine.
Duck tits?
Matt, you have "film school roomates"? That's what they call them in the NYC huh? L.A., they are called Porn Star wannabes.
Ha ha ha! I love these judgmental comments. I want to point out that I can't watch my gunnery runs on DVD, so I need a VCR too. Sorry that the military hasn't caught up on the technology, they're busy spending their money on bullets and what-not.
I thought you said you were going to get a bigger TV, or was that just that cable.
I think Duke lost in the sweet 16 in 2003, but the truth is, Stars and Stripes was coming about 3 weeks after the fact and I had some other things on my plate to think about.
Kansas looks good…
this mich state/temple game is boring the shit out of me.
ooh and sweet.. i switch to the kansas game just in time for a semi pro commercial… i was hoping they could find a niche in college basketball too
That's a nice coffee table. It looks like Cubans played dominoes on it before you made it into furniture.
You need a new TV man.
They have these really cool ones called "HD" that have really sharp pictures. You should think about checking it out.
Should turn that beer about 60 degrees portside so's we can all see the label.
Beware the laptop–Shoals at freedarko got carpal tunnel from that shit. Just saying.
My finest tournament experience was spending March in the Persian Gulf. Really, the best way to enjoy the finals is to get score updates from a boatswainmate on the bridge of an Aegis cruiser.
Is it alright if I say "fuck Thin Lizzy and their stupid fucking song"? I'm really going to get sick of that one.
Boatswain's Mate
/whatever
P.S. quit ragging on the man's tv. he admitted it was small. Move along.
Stella looks like she's hungry for some peanut butter.
everything in that picture is far more appealing than my line of vision right now.
I expected to see some porno mags on the coffee table.
The hot chick in my office is a Michigan State alum, so Im using the ongoing game as an excuse to ogle her every two minutes as I walk over with scoring updates.
March Madness fever. Catch It!!!
best part is the bad ass VHS collection
@HHY, it sounds like you have beaver fever to go along with march Madness fever
@HHY–drop the name "Magic Johnson" to remind her of better days, and HIV.
I had a " film school roommate" once, in college, I was young and adventurous. It only happened once, and I didnt really like it.
Duck tits?
I still have nightmares about that.
That's a nice coffee table. It looks like Cubans played dominoes on it and rode it to Key West before you made it into furniture.
Fixed.
Sam Adams Light is a fine getting-drunk-in-the-afternoon beer. Not so heavy that you feel full after a six pack, but enough flavor to drink during daylight.
Is that fireplace safe to use? Don't they need to be cleaned out every, oh, decade or so?
How many douchebags can they fit into that Subway commercial?
STELLAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
To some a Dog
To others : the fighting man's beer.
seeing as how i work in a creative firm, and currently have no project, i have set up the projector to face the wall and display the games. its an abomination.
Beer with lunch today sounds like a plan.
@UU, HHWK: Notice I wrote the hot chick……there are about 20 females in my office, and 1 of them is hot.
How many are fuckable? 20. But like Ive said before, Im a known pervert.
Howard The Duck. Cued right up to the Lea Thompson panty shot, I hope.
Fuck I hate it when they're all at halftime at the same time. Layers people!
thats one good thing about the final four + the championship game = no milked halftime shows with tom petty
What ? No Hookers?
I bet the halftime on TV is a hell of a lot better than the halftime show on NCAA on Demand.
Uff, it is March. It will be ok to take down your Christmas lights now.
I like how Georgia's Gaines is rocking the old school Clyde Drexler haircut — receding hairline up front, bald spot in the back.
If only it were fashionable for young black men to shave their heads….
Lex Luthor just tried to sell me flowers from Lowes. Anyone else catch that?
Gumble's rocking the hairdo. I like it!
Xavier putting the heat on — down to 6 with lots of time to play.
fuck Xavier. I knew Georgia was going to be hot
make that down 4
I'm wondering how many comments the rest of Matt's apartment would get.
Ah clips of large, sweaty men wrestling balls away from each other. Thank you CBS for fulfilling this day's quota of gay-porn joke potential.
I think that more apartment pitures would be in all of our best interests.
Keying bracket graphics over the video of the replays is not working for me. Stop it CBS.
Mmm, sewer water. According to the boss button, an average of 1824 gallons are consumed each quarter.
"Dominguez" is the Big Sky Conference Player of the Year? Umm, let me point out a few problems your team might run into in the Tourney…
Georgia is falling APART
It's always fun to see one of your Elite Eight teams down 9 at halftime on Day 1
Grimey, X or Temple ?
Xavier needs to wrap this shit up so we can get to the Marquette game on time!
anyone else have, uh, Kentucky?
Christ, I had Georgia pulling the upset in every bracket. How the fuck did they give away that lead?
I picked Kentucky, swany. However, I did my picks based on whether or not I know people who went to that particular school and whether or not I actually like them. It's a very scientific method.
I'd go back to Iraq in a heartbeat just to be protected from anything basketball-related. Fucking sport is more boring than Bocce, and I mean watching Bocce- not even playing it.
Still milking that 1st beer …
So far so good fellas… that Xavier nonsense was a little scary but I pushed through it.
Also…the CBS radio feed PSA's are depressing as shit.
Chizzle: so you've managed to go to the second page of a sports website's comments page, and have submitted a comment yourself, because…
You might want to go check out http://www.marthastewart.com. This site doesn't allow you to just click on that link, but if you type it in the Microsoft Explorer browser's address bar (the part at the top of your screen that reads hhtp://www.withleather.com/post.phtml?pk_5310&page_number_2, with black lettering and a white background) you'll get there. I'm assuming there are some pretty good articles there that you might find interesting.
I'm guessing the "Christmas" lights are a year-round homage to Tom Berenger in Platoon. "The only thing that can kill Ufford, is Ufford."
Sega CD recently came out. You should get one of those to match the VCR. Or a CD-i. Rockin' shit. Stella would like Night Trap, please.
Iron Man looks like it might kick ass.
Nice dog.
apartment? no way man….i need a place with a basement, where else am I going to keep the hookers chained up?
btw, thanks Georgia for getting my bracket off to a roaring good start. Matt, could you send Stella down to kick Uga's ass for me? Thanks in Advance…..
This is really a stealth home makeover site.
Cheese n rice! Kentucky sucks ass. Bithces should have played in the NIT.
VHS?
