STRELNIKOV'S REVENGE

i had it all mapped out today.
It turns out, they never released the sequel to Zhivago until now.
Now, because the tea party express has supplanted teh trans-siberian.
In other words?
The real socialists lost.
The bolsheviks won.
until now?
Yeah.
Until now.
Now, 'Shooter' Strelnikov' has dusted off his epaulets, polished off some etouffee, and scrubbed the @#$%$$ trouble off his boots.
Get ready, America.
Think you survived World War I?
REALLY?
Wow!!!!!
Anyway, here it is.

WHY I WANT PACKERS TO BEAT STEELERS

Here's why.
In the late 1970s I rooted for the Packers, they of the first 2 Super Bowls.
Then came the curse of the Raiders.
They beat the Eagles.
Then they beat the Seahawks.
So, long story short?
My attention to National Football League football minutiae, at least since 1981, has been a three-decade-long revenge fantasy.
And when, in 2006, the Seahawks lost to the STEELERS in Super Bowl LX?
That didn't help.
Here's the smoke.
Packers 31, Steelers 12.
Ben Broadcast Burger will pay.
Ben BRONTO Burger will pay.
I will top it off with some fava beans and a chilled Fresca.
SLURP.

POGUES VERSUS U2

Basically?
It's easier for me to imitate Shane MacGowan than it is to imitate Bono.
MacGowan sounds like he's damaged and dying.
Bono sounds like some opera dude or something.
That's what I think, anyway.
