Fantasy Anything

Consuelo’s husband Gregory had played Fantasy Football just once–and was now wallowing in helpless addiction. He carried five iPhones to keep up with Fantasy Golf, Skeet Shooting, Bowling, even Fantasy Curling (Who knew that even existed?)! March Madness only made things worse. He claimed that soon he could make enough prize money on Fantasy games to quit his job and just game for the winnings. She was hoping he’d forget the iPhones in his pants pockets as they went in the washing machine, maybe allowing for a weekend at Fantasy Island for them . . .

“I Fought the Law . . .”

As Dan cheated the law of gravity (and death) he couldn’t help but hum a few bars of his favorite song, “I fought the law and I won . . .”

Water Boarding (California Style)

When Jimmi was asked what he thought of the reports of water boarding by the CIA he said,”Like man, I like asked Betti, like my girlfriend? And like she goes ‘Like, whoa, dude, how could like use your board (long or short)  without like you know, water, dude.'”

” Like I mean she’s like right, you know, these things don’t work all that well on dry land, so well yeah, water is like cool, and so are boards, so like they go together . . .”

Naming Rights

Jozef didn’t care why some people  thought that naming a football or basketball team after some ethnic group  was offensive–he didn’t care–who understood human logic anyway?  As self-appointed PR guy for the “Butterfly Nation” he was pretty sure his offer of  “The Gulf Fritillaries” for a Galveston team wouldn’t fly, but how about the “Butterflies”?  He could move faster and was more agile than any running back he had ever seen, and no one else was using the name . . .

Buffalo Soldiers

Kent (middle, back row) had heard Bob Marley’s song “Buffalo Soldiers” and was inspired.  He cajoled and bullied his homies to go to the recruiting station and enlist, only to be told they couldn’t–how were they going to hold a rifle?  The enlistment officer did suggest they try out as free agents for the NFL; they would make great defensive linebackers . . .

No Respect

It had been bad enough being banned for life from World Wrestling for not not following the script (hard to believe, I know) and actually winning fair and square.  Then, out of work, to make a little money and use his wrestlers body, Igor took a job as a male model at the prestigious Barcelona Art Institute, posing mostly nude (and pretty cold), only to have the pigeons add insult to injury.  He couldn’t help but think of the old Rodney Dangerfield line, “I don’t get no respect . . .”
