Two quick March Madness items:

Sign up for the Sactown Madness pool resourceful member coolcat set up. Winner receives: eternal glory, future considerations.
My cartographic streak has again gotten the better of me, resulting in Mapping the NCAAs.

UPDATE: And we'd be remiss not to pass on the beauty of this Pyramid of Excess preview.

Winner's prize

Hey, I want to be resourceful too, if I win my prize should be TZ mentions how resourceful I am. If you call drunkedly heckling Grant Napear then asking Koz if the Peaches thing is true while trying not to stare at the KHTK girl's chesticles too much resourceful, which I do.

Damn, I need more to do at work.

chesticles?!?

Wow, are you kidding me? I plead, I pray that I can get that out of my head. Please don't let me think of some guy's junk every time I see/think of hooters, tits, boobs, jugs, breasts, headlights, gazongas, melons, etc.

"Funbags" and my personal favorite, "Bambucha Fefes".

Last Chance to Enter March Madness

We have almost 30 entries, including a cast of myself, TZ, otis29, Section214, moproblemz, kingme, jjham15, 27freethrows, ridnour, iashwash, stankpalmer, Artestify, thekangarooster, WildCardz, kingsTV, Muff209, Ball_in_Cup and chri5.

If you haven't signed up, you have until about 9 am PST tomorrow as the first games start shortly thereafter.

Give it a shot. As they say, all you can lose is your dignity. :) And you could win $10k or even $5 million if you are insanely lucky.

Complete details are in the March Madness thread:

http://www.sactownroyalty.com/story/2008/3/18/35421/2281

I'll offer some commentary on the picks once the brackets can be viewed starting tomorrow. I think it will be interesting to see who our entrants have picked to make the Final Four and to win it all, and how that compares with the overall entries.

Let's have some fun.

I have an idea

How about you offer your commentary on the message board you set up for it, and spare those of us that chose not to participate and have calmly kept quiet while you've shilled it 532 times in practically every thread on the board, from having to endure 3 more weeks of OT discussion. Just an idea.

by Kfan in Korea on Mar 19, 2008 11:03 PM PDT up reply actions

I wasn't going to say anything but

I chose to not participate as I could give 2 shits about the upcoming tourney. So therefore I'm staying silent and letting everyone have their fun. I laughed hard reading the statement though Kfan.

I am the stone that the builder refused I am the visual, the inspiration That made Lady Sing the Blues..I'm the spark that makes your idea bright...

532 times?

I think you missed one.

This thread specifically mentions March Madness. Thanks to TZ for "shilling." The entry deadline is tomorrow.

Kfan, I'm sorry Yahoo! doesn't allow folks from outside the U.S. to play. We'll miss you.

You know the drill.

Good luck to all who are playing. I hope someone from our group wins it all.

how about

7/7 so far

by kingsTV on Mar 20, 2008 1:46 PM PDT reply actions

If the trend continues

So far the top-seeded team has won every game, so you may run into trouble if that keeps up.

I count you having eight double-digit seeds winning first-round games.

i got a feelin'

hopefully it works out :)

whew

11/11

duke is terrible though

by kingsTV on Mar 20, 2008 6:23 PM PDT reply actions

Duke nearly lost

Nelson came close to icing the game, but missing that front end of the 1 & 1 didn't help his case down the road. Or I don't think it will anyway. (Normally I would be rooting hard against Duke just cuz.)

i knew..

i shouldn't have taken george mason

otherwise i would be looking at a perfect 16/16 bracket tonight

by kingsTV on Mar 20, 2008 8:33 PM PDT up reply actions

Good job, JJ

If Arizona loses, you'll be alone at the top for the night.

by coolcatreportdotcom on Mar 20, 2008 8:46 PM PDT up reply actions

Looks Like

Mission accomplished, JJ. Way to rip. We'll get you tomorrow.

by coolcatreportdotcom on Mar 20, 2008 8:58 PM PDT up reply actions

Ooops

My bad, looks like it's still a five-way tie as two of you had George Mason and the other three had Zona.

by coolcatreportdotcom on Mar 20, 2008 9:01 PM PDT up reply actions

Stupid George Mason pick.

I would be in the running for big cash without that pick.

Is it just me

or does this thing:

Keep saying -

Ron Artest is the Best..."
"March Madness... Make a Bracket...
