Happy Hour: Extinct Bird Edition
I know, WTF Trey, this is a lame subject for Happy Hour. I can spice it up! How about some multiple choice. So you find a bird that many thought was extinct for decades. Do you:
a) Take a photo to wow the masses
b) Sell it
c) Allow it to be eaten
d) All of the above
e) None of the above
If you answered “d” congrats you are the smartest guy/gal in the word. Seriously, I don’t know if the whole story is funny or sad, it’s kinda like a Rob Schneider movie. You laugh, but they’re so awful you don’t know whether to feel bad that his career had come to this.

The relevance…there is none. But we had an action packed day here. My TMA led off with the very correct prediction that the trading dealine would suck…followed by my feelings towards Orange County playing with the idea of cutting public school athletics.
Big D previewed the Pittsburgh Pirates…and GITC gave us his Studs and Duds.
Sparty’s followup to his insanely popular top wrestling finishers, led off the 1pm hour.

Anyone like those Gatorade “G” Monty Python like commercials? I do, but I refuse to recognize “G” and their marketing strategy of removing the word Gator from the product. Well someone clipped them all together for your pleasure.
TV Tonight:
You know what! Screw it, sit down and read a book, magazine, newspaper. I’m working on Cadillac Beach by Tim Dorsey. The wifey is reading Double Whammy by Carl Hiaasen (easily my favorite Hiaasen novel).

Sharks can coast and get one of the top two seeds. I can see why they’re slumping a bit. In other NHL news, the Wild are actually winning a game against a conference rival. That’s a nice change of pace.

Either way, I like your thinking.
Live hockey is great. I used to go to the Cal Lutheran games in the early 90s. They were pretty good for a small school because they had a lot of Scandinavian students.
