it's nice to have such power...

Applebee's: Well it's now official.

The KG Vets boycott of Applebee's was a complete success. Everything is, once again, all good in the neighborhood. The national restaurant chain raised their white flag to me last night on national tv as I tuned in to the WVU - Colorado game. I was so taken back that I had to rewind my DVR to make sure that ears hadn't deceived me.

They literally meet our demands. It wasn't even a compromise. We basically took them behind the woodshed.

Here is a quick refresher just in case some of you don't actually know why were boycotting the franchise: We went to UNC for an intramural basketball tournament in the Spring of 2001. We had just gotten into town and needed to eat something, anything ASAP. Well Applebee's had a sign outside for all-you-can-eat riblets. We proceeded to go there just for that feature.

Well we all ordered the same thing only to watch them run out. The manager came out and said we could get another order of chicken fingers, but not all-you-can-eat chicken fingers. Well that was just unacceptable. We all vowed to never eat there again. I have since held up my part of the bargain.

Well my how time's have changed. Their all-you-can-eat menu now includes riblets, shrimp, OR chicken fingers.

Wow. I wonder where they got that idea???? Hmmm..........

Game. Set. Match. Point.....to the KG VETS my man!

Johnny No Cash: So just the other day my sister forgot her wallet on her way to work. No problem. She had enough cash in the car to get on the metro. The issue came up when she couldn't get out of the parking lot w/o a smart trip. Seeing as how my brotherly duties include making sure she doesn't get stuck w/o a ride, I came to her aid. No biggie. But I thought to myself, "How did she forget her wallet?".

Well guess who forgot their wallet a mere 48 hours later? Yeah that's right. This guy. Nice job brah. To make matters worse I really wanted to go to the bank to deposit some checks for basketball and for the kegs. Brilliant move on my part. Maybe I won't be so quick to wonder how others make mistakes. Turns out I'm not as silly as I first thought.

Weekend Football: Well last weekend was pretty good as far as no losses are concerned.

I played in a 3-3 draw, United tied Dallas 2-2, Arsenal blew the doors off of Blackburn 4- 0, Notre Dame crushed Michigan to the tune of 35 - 17 and the Redskins had a nice 29 - 24 comeback win against the Saints. So, yeah, none of my guys lost.

I'll take it.

This weekend predictions (for games that matter):

Donkeys 3 - White Lightning 1

Arsenal 2 - Bolton 0

Notre Dame 24 - Mighigan State 13

DC United 1 - LA Galaxy 1

Redskins - 19 - Cardinals 17

I hope everybody has a glorious weekend.
