I’m in the middle of a very heated Wii Sports Tennis tournament, waiting to learn the identity of my next opponent. My Mii, named Ev. Ev., will be battling either Eat Me Out or Baby Eat for the…uh…championship. Of something. I haven’t lost a single game in my two preliminary matches, so I’m pretty sure I’m the favorite to win. I think the current Vegas line on Ev. Ev. vs. Baby Eat is -220, and the line on Ev. Ev. vs. Eat Me Out is -150. After this paragraph, I’ll tell you who won…
I bet Baby Eat 3-1. You’re looking at the new Wii Sports Tennis champ. I couldn’t be more proud. Asked after the match how he thought of his opponents, Ev. Ev. responded by saying, “My opponents? What opponents?”
What a dick.
RULES for uninitiated noobs: With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. This week I have compiled a bunch of random songs. The last track, by The Spook Of The Third Lock, was sent to me by Stephen. They’re very Irish sounding. Not bad, but not my cup of tea. I like the more experimental aspects of their music, but I don’t normally enjoy Bert Jansch or the Pogues or much of that Celtic rock/folk music. Anyway, the goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll support the artists and buy their albums.
