Incoherent

I'm about dead. My nose is stuffed up slightly, so less oxygen is getting to the brain, and I'm dead tired. And I'm really warm. The urge to crawl under the desk and cuddle in a ball is great, except I'm taking a short lunch because of going to the Mexican restaurant locally for Spanish night tonight. (It's a class thing. We're supposed to order entirely in Spanish. Voy a tener el numero once y un te. El numero once es un burrito y un taco y un enchilada.)

So. Tired.

And I feel for Jamie McMurray. If the Chase weren't stacked as it is, he'd be in 7th place right now. He has 21 top 10 finishes the season. The only other drivers with that many are Jeff Gordon, Junior, and Jimmie Johnson. I'm highly impressed with Jamie.

Ah hell

I'm in need of new checks. I do the fancy design ones (because I don't get them from the bank free). I've had one design for a long time. So I decided for something new.

Which is where you all come in. I've found a few that I like. Some are more obvious than others. Of course it'll be my choice ultimately, but...dang it!

NASCAR Design

Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Generic NASCAR Design

I remember seeing someone link to some Marvel Superhero checks a while back, but I can't find those now.

So...which ones?

It's on

Power Rankings is back with the funny! Those bummer couple of weeks after the Hendrick crash (may they rest in peace) put a damper on the fun. But it's back!

Dale Earnhardt Jr.: So now he might get penalized for having a windshield that was too thin at Phoenix. How did NASCAR know this? Do they have a guy whose only job is to measure windshield thickness? And where do we apply?

Jamie McMurray: If he won Phoenix, this fan selected by Havoline would have won $1 million. The way Jamie has been running, the fan probably thought he was going to collect. Hope he didn’t have a lot of credit card debt.

Mark Martin: Since Kevin Harvick got us in the mood, let’s talk more about fights. We’d like to see Mark Martin take on Toby Keith. We know Mark’s giving up a lot in the weight-advantage department, but we’d pay the $30 to see it. Ford could be the presenting sponsor. The loser can’t make any more commercials.

Kasey Kahne: His brother refuses to cut his hair until Kahne wins a Nextel Cup race. We had no idea Elliott Sadler was actually Kasey Kahne’s brother.

Kevin Harvick: He might have had the quote of the day at Phoenix: "Kasey's not big enough to get out of his car and fight this battle."

Dale Jarrett: It would have been funny to see him fight Jamie McMurray after they tangled a little bit on the track. Jarrett’s got a 20-year advantage on McMurray, not to mention two feet and 100 pounds. But we’d give McMurray the advantage if the fight goes more than four rounds.

Elliot Sadler: Since Top-Flite has entered the sport as a sponsor, maybe Robert Yates can work a deal to get the company to sponsor Elliott Sadler for the two races each year at Talladega.

Grrrrrr.

Dear random people calling our offices:

When I say "Could you repeat that", it's imperative that you repeat what you just said. I asked you to repeat it, not because you possibly got the wrong number, but because you mumbled so badly that all I heard was a string of consonants, not intelligible words.

In order to prevent future calls to our telephone number, just enunciate. Not hard to do (and yes, I know we're in the south...just speak a little plainer). Guess what! You may have called the right place to begin with!

Sincerely,
Maveness (who is also hard of hearing)

(And for your enjoyment...Keith Urban *points to icon*. He be pretty.)
