The blogs are back in town!

Holy crap - some of my friends got off their butts and did some stuff online:

Mike Uncensored - first post since August

Need. More. Blogs. - the first and probably only blog post you'll see from one Dan Collinge

Occasional Drivel - this guy claimed he was going to post something but lied to me.

Unfortunately, I can't say anything for my pals at Josh's Blog and Everyone Loves a Masshole.

Slackers!

Wrong George team, but...

Never thought I'd cheer for a DC team that wasn't the Colonials - or even one that beat my Tarheels in the second round, but go George Mason!

Guess how many teams are left in my bracket? If you guessed zero, you'd be correct.

Quote of the Day

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta (thanks to Moo for this!)
