Madness, Good Old Fashioned Madness
What happened? I went down to SXSW to hear some live music, drank some tequila with some friends, and I came back to a world gone wrong with talking apes and and a world gone awry...
Where do we begin? Ah yes! Remember how cocky and smug Kevin Briley and his team Final Four was when they landed the almighty Virginia Cavaliers? Remember how Kevin put on his shades and did the "make it rain" dance? To jog your memory, I snapped a pic..
Kevin promised that the Virginia would "make it rain."
Well, Kevin, you made history by making the worst pick in March Madness Madness history. Congrats!
I wouldn't laugh at that joke if I were Where's Stinson or Eyes on the Prize (who? me?). These two super geniuses with number two seeds North Carolina (Kevin, if you still want the Tarheels, I bet Ballard will sell them to you cheap!) went down, and we went down hard.
Darkness and sadness aside, where is the Madness Madness sun shining? It's shining on none other than Amandahuginkiss and Careless and Reckless, two teams whose members are showing us that you don't have to actually graduate from a four-year college to lead the March Madness Madness pack.
Careless and Reckless reports back that they are ahead.
That said, as these two teams are planning to buy a bunch of Yeti cups and squirrel guns, they should slow their roll, because there are a couple of contenders in the wings planning their own spa days and chardonnay parties.
LL Cool J, Vertical Smiles, Vanilla Puff's Army and Happy Dog Lips are all still in the hunt.
And that is where I will leave it. Next post will talk about the vast possibilities of the Madness (Madness). Until then, I leave you with this...
