A Once and Future King

Jenna, Barbara?

Calculated Risk

It seems that one side effect of turning 40 is my increased interest in finances and the economy. One of the blogs that feeds this low level addiction is Calculated Risk. Most of it is way over my head but I still find it worth checking into every couple of days.

(And if by chance, you go back in time and run across a twenty-something Chuckling Monkey, please don’t let him know about this. If he found out that he was going to turn into a guy that followed financial markets, I’d hate to see what rash decisions he may have made. But you could buy him a beer, I don’t think that would mess up the space time continuum)

Highway to the Danger Zone

Do you think his call sign is Maverick?

Name That Joke

And the punchline is:

‘Eats bush and leaves’.

I don’t need the whole joke, just the opening line.

Jimmy Chitwood

Indiana 77, Purdue 68.

Eric Gordon is going to be a very good basketball player but DJ White is already very good. And Purdue is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the next few years.

Just not tonight.

Oh and if you forgot the Fight Song, it’s:

Indiana, our Indiana
Indiana, we’re all for you!
We will fight for the cream and crimson
For the glory of old IU
Never daunted, we cannot falter
In the battle, we’re tried and true
Indiana, our Indiana,
Indiana we’re all for you! I-U!

IU Basketball

I’m just finished watching the IU – Michigan State Game from Saturday night (Tivo) and wow, Eric Gordon is good. Really good. Every once in a while, he shifts into a gear that’s two or three times faster than the other nine guys on the court.

But our coach is a crook.

And Purdue is in first place.

“We named the dog Indiana”

I’m a little embarrassed about how excited I was the first time I saw this.
