After you've gotten all your chores out of the way so that you can concentrate on the game you put some psych up music on the stereo--most guys play heavy metal types like Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin but personally I'm fond of the Nutcracker Suite, in fact before one game I danced a makeshift ballet to Mr. Tchaichovsky's classic in my underwear but that's another story--and imagine that you're annihilating your next day's opponent. It's a mystical experience...
...magnetic strips on the back of your Bursars cards? Well, listen really closely to them sometime. (Not in a room where there are Russians or Rice Krispies--interferenceville, man...) Anyway, you year what I hear? Blip, Blip, Blip!!! A master computer is keeping tabs on us! Have you ever gotten off on the seventh floor of Holyoke Center? I thought not!! Y'see, that's where they keep the damn computer that watches us--Blip! Blip! Blip! It sees us when we're sleeping! It knows when we're awake! I can't take this anymore! I'll never...

But who is the father of Seattle Slew's jockey? It is quite possible that the elder Cruguef has never been to the flats, even for the purpose of placing a friendly...
There might have been a punch thrown in that Ali--uh you know, whatsisname fight last night. Somebody could have gotten hurt...I definitely want the movie rights to the Alfredo Evangelista story. It opens with this guy running up the front steps of the Prado while disco/flamenco music plays in the background...When a fight goes two rounds, there are three commercials; when a fight goes 15 rounds, there are 32. So what was Cosell complaining about?...Be sure to catch that new film biography of the Champ, which will be opening at your local theaters later this month...
