... that's what I have cheerleaders for! This week the Rockets emerged victorious in their Blogger Bowl matchup against Vehement Spittle, evening my record at 1-1.

Baltimore's defense came up big, Brett Favre, Isaac Bruce and Jamaal Lewis all had solid games, and for the second week in a row everyone on the roster (including the bench) scored points.

The score might have been closer, but my worthy opponent failed to start a wide receiver for some reason, perhaps he was distracted by the Hot Jets cheerleaders? I know I would be.

The best cheerleading squad in all of fantasy football:

Sarah, of Trying To Grok!
Helen, of Everyday Stranger!
annika, of annika's journal!
Cindy, of Dusting My Brain!

Next week I'm up against Brendoman.com, who has a formidable team. I have a tip for him though: No matter how proud you are of it, naming your team after Soy Sauce is wussy, m'kay?

But save the sauce, it'll go good with your ass when I hand it to you next week. On a plate.

Now this is a truck for real men. According to the company, it's the largest production pickup truck available. According to owners, there's no correlation between the size of the vehicle and the size of their penis.

To be honest, a lot of guys wish more women would take this advice. To be brutally honest, the ladies have got more sense than we do (dammit).

Mookie has decided to hang up the ol' blog jammies. Trust me, she's not kidding when she claims to be short of time to do everything. She just had to drop Algebra III/Trig at school because there wasn't enough hours in the evening to do the homework after Statistics and Physics, plus she's doing the full Drama curriculum and what amounts to Drafting 101 and Carpentry 101.

Wow, week 1 is over and annika whooped me like a red-headed step child! It should have been closer, but realistically I needed Bret Favre to have a career game to pull it out. And who'd've thought Jamaal Lewis would end up with only 59 lousy yards against the Browns, eh?

On the plus side, I didn't suffer the worst drubbing of the week (administered by Victor) and I still have the best damn cheerleading squad going.

Let's hear it for the Hot Jets!!!

annika, of annika's journal! (yes, that annika. It shows her good taste, my good sportsmanship, and you're just jealous because I've got cheerleaders. Neener neener.
Cindy, of Squipper!
Lemur Girl, of... uh, Lemur Girl!
Lynn S., of Reflections in d minor!
Susie, of Practical Penumbra!
Mookie, of MookieRiffic!
Denita, of Who Tends The Fires!
Jennifer, of Jennifer's History and Stuff!
Heather, of Angelweave!
Kat, of Mostly Fluff!
Nic, of Shoes, Ships, and Sealing Wax!
LeeAnn, of The Cheese Stands Alone!
Dawn of Dawn Enterprises!
Stevie, of Caught In The XFire!
Emma, of Miss Apropos! (have faith, she'll be back)
Margi, of Margi Lowry! (the artist formerly known as Emma)
Gir, of Your Moosey Fate!
Tink, of Flitting Here and There!
Sarah, of Trying To Grok!
Blogoline, of Blogoline's Journal!
Big Hair, of Left & Right!
Wegglywoo, of On the Beach at the End of the World!
Helen, of Everyday Stranger!

Looking ahead to next week, when I face Vehement Spittle. He was about as pathetic ineffective as I was this week, so I'm looking for a hard fought and competitive matchup next week.

HA! I'm gonna stomp him like roaches fleeing a burning dumpster! You're going DOWN slobber-boy!!!

A while back I talked about PDA-compatible blogging (part one and two), and some folks took the idea and ran with it. Here's a list of those blogs that I download and read daily:

Off Wing Opinion
Flying Space Monkey Chronicles
Simon World
DFMoore
Chris Hall's Spacecraft
Jennifer's History and Stuff

Anyone else? If you're wondering about daily hits, well the download itself doesn't count, but I find that I visit most of these sites in the evenings to follow up on interesting links that I found while reading the PDA version.

If your site, or one you know of, offers a PDA version, let me know in the comments. Thanks muchly.

I'm getting lots of suggestions from folks about the Jamboree and what to do if the NHL tanks the season. I think Victor suggested the ECHL first, and because I'm most familiar with it and it has the largest spread of teams I thought that was a good idea. But other good suggestions have come up. So we'll hash it out in the comments, which way to we go with this (assuming the bastards NHL doesn't pull its collective head out).

1. ECHL

2. AHL (anyone remember the Baltimore Skipjacks? *sniff* I loved those guys)

3. Derek's Rec League

Also, welcome to Matt Navarre of Bad State of Gruntledness (Dallas Stars) and Wendy from Adventures of MomLady (Philadelphia Flyers) to the Jamboree.

The other players are:

VegasBaby - Calgary Flames
Derek - Colorado Avalanche
Catt - Pittsburg Penguins
Jenn - Colorado Avalanche
Heather - St Louis Blues
Dr Funk - Ottawa Senators
GEBIV - Buffalo Sabres
Victor - Washington Capitals
Helen - Dallas Stars
Daniel - Atlanta Thrashers
Gir - Calgary Flames
Pogo - Calgary Flames
Cindy - Montreal Canadiens
Frinklin - Vancouver Canucks
RP - New York Rangers
Tricia - Atlanta Thrashers
Nic - Washington Capitals
Kin - Anaheim Mighty Ducks
Ted (yours truly) - San Jose Sharks

Wanna play? It's easy, click here for details.

That's the title of the latest release from local independent rap artists DJ Ragz and Headrush. I was gifted a copy of the CD and it's in heavy rotation during my daily commute. Old school yet innovative, if you get a chance to pick this up*, I recommend it.

*I don't see it in the 'store' yet at the linked site, but they do have the earlier Blind Opticz disk.

It's not looking good for the NHL season as the owners and players broke off talks once again. The CBA expires on the 15th, so if they don't get it done right now, the season is impacted.

As per several suggestions (sadly, they were probably meant as a joke at the time), here's the website to the ECHL. There are plenty of teams there to choose from (left sidebar), should anyone want to go to Hockey Whoopass Jamboree Plan 9 (you knew it had to be Plan 9, this is Rocket Jones after all).

And since I'm the original eternal optimist, welcome to yet another Calgary Flames fan who's joined in the Jamboree. Say hello to VegasBaby!

She joins these hockey fans already playing banging their heads against the wall:

Derek - Colorado Avalanche
Catt - Pittsburg Penguins
Jenn - Colorado Avalanche
Heather - St Louis Blues
Dr Funk - Ottawa Senators
GEBIV - Buffalo Sabres
Victor - Washington Capitals
Helen - Dallas Stars
Daniel - Atlanta Thrashers
Gir - Calgary Flames
Pogo - Calgary Flames
Cindy - Montreal Canadiens
Frinklin - Vancouver Canucks
RP - New York Rangers
Tricia - Atlanta Thrashers
Nic - Washington Capitals
Kin - Anaheim Mighty Ducks

1 I'll take the Mighty Chiefs of Johnstown!

Posted by: AnonymousKyle at September 10, 2004 12:49 PM (blNMI)

2 Tricky...SO MANY TEAMS! My loyalties lie, of course, with the old WCHL teams that were assimilated, BUT THERE ARE SO MANY COOL LOGOS!

Bah...I shall choose the "Idaho Steelheads" because A: I've seen them play, B: Again, loyalties...I used to be employed by a WCHL team and C: I've actually played hockey against a steelhead...Well, former Steelhead...

Whee.

Posted by: Derek at September 10, 2004 02:31 PM (wEVXE)

3 I'm going to have to go with the Fresno Falcons, which fits nicely. 1. I was born in Fresno. 2. They're a minor league team for the San Jose Sharks. 3. Falcons is the name of the USAF Academy teams, and I was a winghead for many years.

GO Sharks FALCONS!

Posted by: Ted at September 10, 2004 02:45 PM (blNMI)

4 Hey, Ted, as per my earlier comment and your response, if the season is wrecked by labor issues, can we still talk smack anyway? Please?

Posted by: RP at September 10, 2004 02:53 PM (LlPKh)

5 Isn't the AHL season still on? The CBA only effects NHL contracts, right?

Posted by: Catt at September 10, 2004 05:19 PM (zyzhA)

6 I've never heard of this league, but I'll have to go with the Victoria Salmon Kings, 'cause they're Canadian. Don't tell me...They're probably the worst team in the league, right? That's ok. I'm used to being the underdog ;-)

Posted by: Gir at September 10, 2004 08:58 PM (eAcba)

7 On second thought, did you consider the AHL?

Posted by: Gir at September 10, 2004 09:01 PM (eAcba)

8 to be safe, I choose the Hershey Bears (in the event we use the AHL for the jamboree).

But c'mon...AA hockey! It's still professional, but so accessible! could be worse, we could be picking a CHL team (in which case, I'd claim the Colorado Eagles.) God forbid we went with the ACHL (um...There's only one team left there I think). UHL! Flint Generals! We could go on and on...

Of course, worst case scenario, we could go with the teams from my rec league. On principal, I'd have to NOT choose my own team.)

Posted by: Derek at September 11, 2004 09:59 AM (iY1/W)

9 If we choose AHL I'll go with the Baby Pens (even though the Admirals are the home team).

ECHL I have to think about it, since the Hampton Roads Admirals are no longer an ECHL team.

If we go with my Hubby's rec league count me in for the German Pantry Slashers.

Posted by: Catt at September 11, 2004 10:59 AM (zyzhA)

10 OK, I'll play. Dallas in the unlikely event there's an NHL season. San Diego Gulls if we go with the ECHL. If we go with the AHL I don't know, prolly the Houston Aeros.
