Bracketed by the Bracelet

When I wrote about a naked Tina Fey on July 1, I thought it was going to be the start of a glorious month of posting. Alas, life intervened and I failed to commit anything to internet paper until today. Once again, I speak to you of a dream. A blogger dream no less. Three times this month, I dreamed of bloggers. Two of them may have been in one dream; I don't remember that one (those?) dream(s) too well. After THOSE photos, you knew Speaker was going to be in your thoughts. Don't deny it. You were doing it too. In my dream, he was making the moves on a girl in one of the local watering holes. There was a sundress involved. I don't know what she was wearing, though. The Doc (Pauley) may have been there as well, or maybe he was in another one. During the WSOP, I was obsessed with his blog even before Iggy made his big move so it was natural his visage invaded my sleep. The third appearance was just last night. I walked out my front door and the Bracelet was waiting in my driveway to engage in a game of HORSE (basketball, not cards). I assented and proceeded to dominate. No sir. In YOUR face. It is no small wonder. Though I played college football, basketball was always my favorite sport growing up. Twice, when I was 12, I played my neighbor (a normal sized, healthy, reasonably athletic twelve year old) to 100. Both times, I spotted him 80 points. The first game, I won 100-98 playing by twos. The second game, I won 100-86 playing by ones. From there on out, he insisted on tennis where he thoroughly trounced me repeatedly. He was normal sized, I was a gorilla.

I don't know where the Bracelet dream came from. I think I've only met him once, in 2005 at the WPBT lunch before we all went to get knocked out of the WSOP. As for his blog, I lost the link to it years ago when some dumbasses actions made him take it down. Now, I stumble across it every few weeks when someone links to him in a post. I like it that way as I get to catch up on multiple posts at once. It's always classic and worth the effort to find. But, if he finds himself in the midlands of South Carolina with a basketball in his hand. He's going to get schooled. It has been foreseen.

Hopefully this month, I will dream of some of those pretty lady bloggers from California, Texas, Jersey, New York, Florida, and Oklahoma amongst others.
