I'm Plumb Tired!

When it comes to plumbing, I'm one helluva' sportscaster.

Before we touch on the
sports links and topics du jour,
a quick recap of my mad skillz
when it comes to leaky plumbing.

Just when I thought we could go a weekend without my services as a pipe surgeon---a steaming stream of water at the rent house left us with no choice but to employ Fletcher Plumbing for the third, yes third, straight weekend. At first, when I saw the steam rising from the ground directly below the hot water closet, my mind wandered to thoughts of pulling a Jed Clampett---surely that was natural gas leaking from below (Haynesville Shale, anyone?). Alas, there will be no cement pond in my immediate future. Apparently, a hot water heater, when rusted out at the top, will allow a lot of hot water to escape in liquid AND steam form. Sounds like a science project, huh kiddos? Well youngun's, you wouldn't have wanted to be within a 50-foot Auger of your ol' Uncle Fletcher when I discovered the problem. I sent enough expletives flying to warrant protection by Ducks Unlimited. Three hours and $355 later, the rent house has a new water heater (!) and she's a beauty. With the help of our new tenants (Call 'em, "Cuz"), the Kenmore Power Miser 6 (seen on the left) is up and running on Dudley!


So, if I can Plumb... what can Tim Tebow do with his hands? Oh, my... ohhhhh, my, my, my. While it's truly inspiring, if I'm the Gators center next season---I want to make sure Edward Scissorhands with a Heisman, isn't suffering any flashbacks to his trip to the Phillipines.

Speaking of the buttockel region, Charles Barkley, known during his playing days for having a rather voluminous gluteus max, explains how the Round Mound helped him Rebound.




Speaking of MAXIMUS GLUTIUS... check out this pic of Fletcher I russeled up! Yeah, it's the Sportswife!! Hee hee hee!







If you think Shaun Alexander is washed up, maybe you meant, "He will Wash-Up," as in, on the shore of Lake Ponchartrain. Well, at least the Madden Jinx has worn off---as has most of his cartilage.

And look for the Cowboys to turn up on HBO this year. With Pacman and Tank Johnson, you would THINK "The Wire" is coming back. But nooooo... How about a little Hard Knocks, Romo-Style! If Chad Hutchinson can croon his way into Todd Walker's sister's heart, then surely Tony can lock down this thing with Jessica!
