Surprises....

Has it really been a over a week since I last updated this thing? Where does the time go?...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those of you who read my last post and exclaimed 'Hitler doesn't have a blog!', you are wrong. I did some hard sleuthing and hours of painstaking searching and I found it. (Ok, so I googled 'hitler blog' and used the third link, sue me.)

The most interesting thing I found there was this picture:


Now I am not quite sure what we are seeing in this picture (besides the obvious), but have narrowed it down to two possibilities. The first option is that this is a picture of the current leader of the Nazis. This option scares me because he looks much more clever that Hitler. And so much more photogenic. He would have an easy time getting people to follow him. If the monkey ever learned the work 'blitzkrieg', we'd all be doomed...

The only other possible explanation is that they are trying to recreate world war two using chimps. This could be nearly as bad; monkeys with guns can only lead to problems. Luckily the war was nearly entirely in Europe and Asia and I don't live anywhere near those places...

As I was typing this entry, the Jays beat Boston to move into second place in the AL East. That's amazing. Toronto hasn't placed that high in at least 10 years! Of course they need to hold that position over that last week, but they have been playing quite well lately (and Boston has played quite poorly) so there is a good chance they can maintain their lead...

And the surprise of the week: My Riders upset the Lions in overtime! The win wasn't so surprising as the way they won it. Andy Fantuz recovered a fumble in the endzone for the go-ahead touchdown with 1:40 to go. B.C. quickly answered back with a major of their own to send the game to overtime. I love the CFL's wacky overtime rules by the way. Anyway, Saskatchewan failed to score on their possession when they went first meaning that the Lions just needed any points to win. Because they start on the opponents 35 yard line they decided to just punt it through the end zone on first down for a single point. Should have been a sure thing, especially with the heavy wind at his back, but McCallum botched it and didn't score a point. On the next go around, B.C. managed a field goal, but the Riders were able to drive down the field, ending with a 17 yard touchdown on a great catch by Fantuz again. Such a great ending...
