Club Trillion

This is what my people look like, anthropologically speaking.

My boy Parsons, who is a high school teacher and a father [bitter], hipped me to Club Trillion, the blog of Mark Titus. He recommended it thus:

If you had any discernible basketball talent, I believe this would have been you, all the way down to the rap references.

Titus, it seems is the 12th man on the Ohio State basketball team. Titus’s story looks to be one of 12th men around the world. Last season he played 10 minutes and scored three points.

But a closer look reveals that he didn’t miss a shot all season. An even closer look reveals that he’s from Brownsburg, Indiana, about 10 miles from my hometown of Plainfield, and something of a great blogger.

Here’s Titus on the Butler game:

Unfortunately the Butler game prevented me from partaking in one of my favorite pastimes of gawking at the cheerleaders. I was informed by my mom that one of the Butler cheerleaders was my second or third cousin thrice removed or something like that. So essentially, we aren’t related at all. Nonetheless, I was fearful that I would find one of the Butler cheerleaders attractive, only to discover that she was the one that is related to me. That would have undoubtedly led to a realization similar to this. It was a chance that simply wasn’t worth taking and I was forced to turn to an alternative form of entertainment during the game–the game itself.

Yup, with the above picture, the 100 percent shooting, and the wit, the guy is definitely an Indy Westsider.

Just keep walking

Eight years of “bullying” foreign policies will get you this embarrassing moment at the hands of world leaders.

Goodbye George. I’m just sorry you were here long enough to do this much damage.

Today’s Truism

Few things in life are sadder than the combination of dreadlocks and early male pattern baldness.
