SteveF just came to a terrible realization: SteveF is obnoxious and annoying. But not obnoxious and annoying enough! Henceforth SteveF shall refer to SteveF in the third person. Furthermore, SteveF shall cite aphorisms of dubious truth, value, or historicity. True, these aphorisms will not necessarily be obnoxious or annoying but, as SteveF always says, it’s the thot that cunts.
looking forward to your aphorisms …
Yesterday, SteveF resolved to be more obnoxious and annoying.
Today, the ColdFury site was unreachable for several hours.
Coincidence? SteveF doesn’t think so. As SteveF always says, Keep your aphorisms close but your website closer.
Barry found it to be very slow but not unreachable.
Henry heard it said that girls just want to have fun:
Ditto warrior gals:
My favorite time of the year for sports. We are at the beginning of the sweet 16 NCAA tournament games. The sweet 16 is dominated by the state of North Carolina with three (3) teams: UNC, NC State, and Duke. And our neighbor to the south, South Carolina, has one in Clemson.
First game coming up from the west region, Clemson Vs Arizona at 7:09pm Eastern time. UNC at 9:39. NCSU and dook play tomorrow.
Go Heels!
Go Pack!
Yea.
🙂
And we’re down to eight, UNC eliminated by the Alabama in a 2 point game (sad).
NC State, Duke, and Clemson survive. 3/8 of the Elite 8 are Carolina schools, all 3 being ACC teams, the ACC having started with five. The SEC that started with 8 schools is down to just two, Tennessee and Alabama. The Big East has one left having started with 3, UConn, the odds on favorite to repeat as tournament winners.
Sure is hard for a Tar Heel to pull for State/dook/Clemson…
So I’ll just pull for the state of North Carolina, Go Pack!
Ouch, that hurts. Good thing my grandsons don’t read here…
And four…
NC State beats dook
Purdue beats Tennessee
State plays Purdue
UConn plays Alabama
The winners play each other for the tournament championship.
NC State Wolfpack have beaten 5 ranked teams in 19 days.
Boeheim blessed them, inadvertently. In the first ACC tournament game be saw a clip of a bench player celebrating a three. He said in effect, what does this team have to celebrate?
Just 5 wins in 5 days for the ACC Championship and now 4 more in a row and on to the Final Four!
Why Not Us?
Beat Purdue and there is no reason you can’t win the next one.
I’m not a betting man, but I might just throw some cash picking State in the purdue game. Purdue runs through Edy, but state has the three stratospheric breathers that can make life miserable for him. Of course Edy is 6-7 inches taller than them…
They have a better supporting cast this year, but our guards can guard people.
True.
It’s going to be an interesting game.
Painful however 🙂
New York gets some things right:

Turkey turning the corner?
Having been to Turkey many times and knowing several Turks, it’s always been sad that Erdogan was able to steer the country towards the islamoterror path. I do not believe the majority of Turks wish that path and it looks as thought Erdogan’s party has finally begun to lose the iron grip.

Hopefully you are correct. We had a number of Turks of the secular persuasion (regardless of their religious enthusiasm) working for us out of our London office.
7 years ago. I keep it on speed dial. It’ll brighten up the day of any Tar Heel.
