Random Thoughts, 11-14-05

I've changed the name of my journal to Two Cent Thoughts. It's the name of a random webcomic that my mysterious friend and I were going to do, but we found out that webcomics are a lot of work just to get off the ground. Maybe one day he'll post that first comic.

Your Birthdate: July 22

You tend to be understated and under appreciated. You have a hidden force to do amazing things, doing them your own way. People may see you as strange and shy, but they know little. Your unconventional ways have more power than they (and even you) know. Your strength: Standing up for what you know is true Your weakness: You tend to be picky and rigid Your power color: Silver Your power symbol: Square Your power month: April

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

For some odd reason, I benched Hines Ward even though he's by far and away my best receiver. I managed to win though thanks to the efforts of Shaun Alexander. Whew.

What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?

What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?
It depends on my mood. Sometimes I'm in the mood for chocolaty or nut flavours -- dark chocolate and walnut win in that category. But sometimes I'm in the mood for a fresh, fruity taste -- lemon sherbert is the favourite then.

Sometimes I get in the mood for Neopolitan.

Have you ever noticed the "Shaun Alexander Rule" before?

The person who has Shaun Alexander will win approximately 3-4 games per year solely on his back. I've got him in one league, and I've definitely won games that would otherwise have been impossible without him. It's why you groan when you play against the guy who has him - you never know if it'll be one of "those weeks."

Note: This rule used to be known as the "Priest Holmes Rule" and longer ago than that the "Marshall Faulk Rule".

For ice cream, mint chocolate chip.

Actually, this is my first year in fantasy football. I lucked out with Shaun Alexander with the seventh pick overall. I believe Daunte Culpepper and Donovan McNabb went before Alexander. I was going for the two stud RB strategy so it worked out for me.

I've played it for a few years, and it's so easy to score cheap game wins when you have The Running Man, whoever it might be in any given year. My boss won the last two years completely and utterly because he had Priest Holmes, who would just randomly score 2/3 as much as the opponent's entire team now and again. It's a pretty big advantage (it's like playing WW and being able to replace a random card in your draw with Jitte) and it constantly amazes me that people don't pick That RB 1st pick every draft. Sometimes it backfires and your guy stops being That RB in a given year, but it's usually well worth the risk.

believe it or not, pistachio. I miss it, because they don't make a sugar-free pistachio.

I don't believe it.
