WND Tremors

Must I comment on the earthquake? Does its power reach even into the wnd invite? No, I refuse: the quake stops here. It may have gotten a 5.4 on Richter's Scale, but on the Wnd Scale, it gets a big fat zero.

Actually to be fair, it did wind up having a minor to light effect on this invite, so we'll give it a 2.7. But that's the gpa equivalent of a B minus, so good luck getting into an Ivy League school now, tough guy.

In the wake of Baseball's marathon all-star game, it's incumbent upon me as commissioner of my own fantasy baseball league to publish the photo of last year's winner accepting the prestigious Diamond Dogs trophy ("Double-D Cup"). Seeing as the defending champion, Avniel, currently resides in India, I spent all the wedding/honeymoon money I was saving up to fly out there. I think you'll agree it was well worth it based on his mom's expression. (I don't remember where his dad was at the time.)

Refueled WND

Why the long hiatus? I know what you're thinking... gas prices. You're close, but it's actually the soaring cost of wiper fluid. Sure, it's not as sexy as those other sob stories on NPR, but as you all know, the stress on the old pocketbook has been devastating. The fat cats in Big Fluid seem to think that since it doesn't rain much in southern California, we're not affected. Hello? Tell that to the insect genocide that accumulates on my windshield daily, not to mention the tree sap/bird crap. We need affordable cleaning fluid over here! I hope someday those bigwigs are forced to share in the penny-saving nightmare of pulling off to the shoulder of the 10 to steam-clean the glass with their breath, then rub it off on their sleeves like polishing an apple. Unable to endure the prospect of losing yet another wnd, I shifted into problem-solver mode this week to find a better solution: I've removed my windshield completely and just drive around in goggles. Eat that, corporate jerks.

As a reward for your patience, wednesdaynightdrinks.com has been totally revamped (a.k.a. vamped) in a brazen display of self-importance all in honor of our 10th year. Experience the magic by perusing past invites, learning about our storied history and adding snide, mean-spirited comments wherever you deem fit (salivating yet, Anthony?). After you get that out of your system, join Jay and me this Wednesday after 9:00 at:
