Rorschach - or - What the fuck is that supposed to be?
Alas, I did not help my case at all.
The very first thing my new 'friend' did upon meeting me, was to sit me down with some not-very-good finger-paintings that she had done and ask me to look at them and tell her what I saw. Some people call this the Rorschach Test, but I call it smeary shit that looks like a lot of different things depending on how drunk you are.
Anyway, here are the paintings she showed me along with my interpretations. I'm sure you'll see exactly the same things I saw because it was just all so ridiculously obvious and also I was painfully sober at the time:
One of those old-fashioned girdles from the '50s
Girl in a raincoat walking down a path between two hills. She's having the period from hell.
Two big-tittied chicks holding expensive purses and dancing together.
Man lying on his back staring up at the sky because he's fucking lazy. He also appears to have a stick up his ass.
Mothra! AUGH!!! Someone call Godzilla!
Dragon fly escaping a woman's vagina. Or maybe skimming the water. Yeah, that'd make way more sense, wouldn't it?
2 1950s era sockhop high school girls dancing, ponytails flying up in the air, pregnant bellies touching
2 bears and a pterodactyl playing poker around a campfire
2 Chinese dragons facing off in an ultimate fighting cage match. The audience is in red because China is communist.
A cow in a blue bikini top, big red shawl, yellow gloves and green stretchy pants dancing in front of the Eiffel Tower. Two women in blue wigs, yellow tops and orange pants are dancing on either side of the cow. It must be some sort of French disco for cows or something.
So anyway, there you have it. I don't see how this is any big deal, but she seemed to feel that it was very important. I also complimented her on her big boobs and giant '80s-style glasses, but on retrospection, I probably shouldn't have mentioned the ugly glasses. She's probably pretty self-concious about those.
Next week I should find out what she thought that my opinions of her paintings means on some 'deeper' level. I hope she doesn't show me any more of them, though, because to be honest, her work really sucked and it was hard for me to hide my real opinions. I don't want to hurt her feelings. She strikes me as a really lonely woman who probably doesn't get out much.
My stupid doctor who can't paint worth a shit
So anyway, what do you see when you look at the Rorschach paintings?
Notre Dame vs. Nevada - will this be the breakout year for Jimmy Clausen and the Irish?
Saturday, September 5 - 3:30 p.m.
South Bend, Indiana
2008 records - Nevada (7-6) Notre Dame (7-6)
Under the scope
The Wolf Pack are coached by Chris Ault who is in his 25th year at Nevada...the Pack are 1-12 visiting BCS teams losing by an average score of 43-17...last season they played at Missouri and were whacked 69-17...last season Nevada average 278 yards on the ground but only had 182 against Mizzou...Nevada has a stout running defense, allowing only 89 yards on the ground in 08, but they are abyssmal defending the pass giving up 312 yards per game...
This is supposed to be the breakout year for highly touted QB Jimmy Clausen...Clausen torched Hawaii in the bowl game which made for a positive off-season...his main weapon is wideout Golden Tate, who is one of the elite players in the country...the Irish are loaded with a stable full of running backs led by Armando Allen...how far Notre Dame goes this season depends on the defense which is led by safety Kyle McCarthy...look for true freshman linebacker Manti Te'O, who was the top high school defensive player in the country last season, to see a lot of action...
Key Players
Nevada - the Pack return two 1,000 yard rushers in Vai Taua (photo) who led the WAC in rushing with 1,521 yards and 15 TDs...the other 1,000 yard rushere is QB Colin Kaepernick who racked up 1,130 yards and 17 rushing TDs...Kaepernick threw for 22 TDs with only 7 picks...
Notre Dame - Jimmy Clausen threw for 3,127 yards and 25 TDs last season...however, he had 17 INTs...Golden Tate caught 58 balls for 1,080 yards and 10 TDs...
Dan Hinxman of the Reno Gazette Journal writes about the positive feeling going on in Reno... "There's a charge in the air, and it's not because the Nevada basketball team is going to the NCAA Tournament. That could certainly happen -- the program has done so four times in the past six seasons and has gone on to postseason play seven straight seasons -- but it's three months until the basketball season even begins." ...
Brian Hamilton of the Chicago Tribune gives some tidbits about the Irish on his blog - Around the Bend...
Jim Harbaugh gets a toilet built closer to his office
Jim Harbaugh wanted a restroom/shower to adjoin his office, and generous Stanford donor John Arrillaga came through recently, building the Cardinal's marquee coach a new loo for between $50,000 and $70,000.
The story broke in the San Jose Mercury News. I don't know where the reporter got his info. I was going to suggest it was leaked to him, but I want to stay away from potty humor.
The new restroom is a real time-saver.
"It cuts down on drag," Harbaugh said.
Football coaches are fanatical time-hoarders. Cal's Jeff Tedford sleeps on an air mattress. I've seen it leaning against his office wall, and I'm not sure if Tedford even moves it to the floor when it's time to nap.
In the old days, every time nature called, Harbaugh had to hike the distance of two first downs to the nearest restroom. He grew weary of an even longer trek downstairs to the shower, on days when he wasn't showered in Gatorade.
I can relate, because I have been to summer camp. The time I could have saved with my own private restroom at camp would have allowed me to polish my cabin's campfire skit, and I might be on Broadway now instead of writing about a football coach's bathroom.
There will be critics who point out that Harbaugh's new lavatory sends a message of insensitivity, even though it was built with private-donor money. The country is in financial crisis, and Stanford is not exempt. Cardinal athletic programs are being cut to the bone. Jobs in the athletic department are going bye-bye.
There are probably people at Stanford - students, professors, administrators, other coaches - who winced when they heard about Harbaugh's haven.
No wincing here. As a sports guy, I understand the value of a winning football program, and the need of coaches to avoid wasting time. If Harbaugh leads the Cardinal to a bowl game, he'll have the last laugh, which would really echo in his tile bathroom.
It's simple. Football rules the realm, and every king deserves a throne room. (Note to copy desk: Don't even think about inserting a line here about "royal flush.")

Defective Chinese-Made Chairs from K-Mart
The latest cheap K-Mart outdoor chairs are made in China.
The lack of quality control has meant that the plastic used to rest on is very, very cheap and thin.
Purchase them at your own risk.
Attached is an example of the problem.
Don't buy them, or this could happen to you too.

Some favorite characters make cameo appearances and the feel of it is just right as homage to simple two button control.

Tony Dungy - others who St. Tony can help
- Matt Jones - Jones was arrested for cocaine and later nailed again for alcohol...the NFL gave him the boot...like Vick, Jones is still in his prime and in fact, he is only 26-years-old, three years younger than Vick...the guy made a mistake and wants a second chance...why isn't Dungy volunteering to help Jones get that second chance?...hmmmm, makes you wonder...
- Marvin Harrison, Derrick Brooks, and Warrick Dunn - these players are just looking for a job in the NFL...Dungy coached all three players, so maybe he can make a few calls and see if he can get them another shot in the league...if the Philadelphia Eagles were willing to take a shot with Vick, I am sure Dungy can work his magic and have someone give Dunn a chance...especially since Dunn is an outstanding person in the community and has a big heart in helping people...
- Art Modell - if Modell did not move the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore, he would be in the Hall of Fame by now...there is a clear bias against Modell, especially from the Cleveland media...Dungy needs to sit down with the Hall of Fame voters and ask them to forgive Modell and consider him for enshrinement...if Vick electrocuted and slaughtered dogs and got a second chance, why not Modell?...
- Plaxico Burress - Plax can get a jumpstart on his return to the NFL by aligning himself with St. Tony right now...just by having Dungy as a "spiritual advisor" will basically ensure Plax of getting back in the league in two years...
- Pete Rose - Pete's big mistake is that he is not aligning himself with Dungy...Pete needs to call Dungy and ask for his help...I'm sure after one or two meetings, Dungy will be able to determine that Pete is a good man...then Dungy can speak on Pete's behalf to commissioner Bud Selig...
- North Korea - it is a little late for this, but I wonder if President Obama considered Dungy to mediate the release of the two American journalists who were held in North Korea...Bill Clinton got the job, but maybe Obama should have had Dungy assist Clinton on this mission...
