Hello world! Bite me, WordPress.com!

We are back live, hope you are too. Apparently I violated WordPress.com’s terms of service, and they yanked the plug on the old site.

I was able to import all the content from the old site. It’s going to take a little time twisting the knobs and restoring all the settings. One thing I’ve learned so far is that Akismet, a great spam-comment-blocker, is only free when you host your blog on wordpress.com…When I went to activate it on this knew site, I found out I have to pay for a “key”. So you may see the occasional spam comment (you’ll know which ones are spam, trust me). I’ll do my best to stay on top of those.

I’m still restoring the links that appear on the right hand side of this page, along with the rest of the widgets that I had lovingly arranged on the old site.

A very sincere “thank you” to the SoSF regulars who emailed me to find out what was going on when the site went down! It meant a lot to me.

Back to the snark…

Quit One for the Gimper

Oh, no they din’t.

This absurd turn of events could be construed either as a display of solidarity with their fallen co-captain, or more likely as the rest of the team realizing that without Sum’ Mo’, they don’t have a chance of winning anyway. Neither scenario makes any sense: this is a tournament game. What the hell happened to “Win one for the Gipper“? And Bull, their eunuch of a coach, is going to stand by slack-jawed as they sashay out of the gym. Boy, Westview’s athletic director is going to have his ass…oh, wait:  Bull is the athletic director.

How It Went Down

Cayla paints the word picture for Les. Between Our Lady of the Cedars and now “Central Catholic”, it seems that the parochial schools have just been giving the She-Goats hell.

Summer blew out her knee falling on top of two other players? I can see her getting hurt at the bottom of a pile…whatevs.

Even Slam-Dunk Summer’s injuries are spectacular: “The whole gym heard it pop!” If Wally had been at the game, no doubt he’d need Buddy by his side to keep him calm!
