Praise be

You must be broke from buying wedding gifts!

Attend 3 weddings next week so that we can win the tournament.

I may have a problem though. We've won the games while I was attending them. Thur I'm leaving for Charlottesville for the wedding Saturday. Hopefully that works for both games. It's only crazy if it doesn't work right?

Why would any grown man say this on the radio during the call of a basketball game? Couldn't he come up with something more.....manly?

The Jorts are in the bag!

I guess he was like "the cat's in the bag" would upset our PETA neighbors?

I googled the saying and apparently it's a line from Our Gang short film called Beginner's Luck - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beginner's_Luck

"At the theater, Spanky befriends a little girl called Daisy Dimple "Dancer par excellence" (Marianne Edwards) who has bombed her act due to stage fright but needs the prize money to buy a special dress. Spanky has a change of heart and decides to win the prize and give the money to the girl. He promises her, "Girlie, the dress is in the bag." However, word does not get out the gang, who are in the audience prepared to embarrass Spanky any way they can.

Their embarrassing him surprisingly makes his act the hit of the show, with everyone laughing and loving it (except his mother). So loved is his act, he wins the prize, which goes to Daisy so she could pay for her dress. The one who really ended up being embarrassed was Spanky's mother, who had inadvertently lost her dress, and she was hidden behind a screen prop"

Hey, when the dress is in the bag, the "W" is being posted. That always brings a smile to my face.

I hate it when we lose.
