See You in September

[Before I launch into my final pre-Vegas post, I'd like to introduce a new segment here on TGS -Against the "Law". In this space I will catalogue some of my personal pet peeves. Today's violator was a pedestrian listening to his ipod while walking through charming downtown Hoboken on his way to work. Sounds reasonable, except this guy had a HUGE noise-reducing headset plugged into his ipod (not unlike the type of headset an F-16 Pilot might wear). I've also seen a guy at my gym wearing similar head gear while working out. Not only do they look ridiculous, wearing such hi-tech ear gear is dangerous in everyday situations (i.e., if you're NOT flying a plane, DJ'ing in Manhattan or listening to an LP record in your parents' basement circa 1975). You can't possibly hear anything going on around you! So, that's why plugging obnoxiously ginormous head gear into your little ipod is Against the "Law".]

In case you haven't caught on, TGS is off to beautiful Las Vegas, NV this weekend. This will be the last post until the post-Vegas post (or something). If any of you Spike loyalists are in Vegas, don't bother trying to find me. Because of the explosion in the popularity of this blog I will be registering at my hotel/casino under an assumed name - probably as renowned pirate attorney Chareth Cutestory.

My personal casino host at our resort of choice, Johnny Sands has assured me a good time (I couldn't make this guy up if I tried - although I've only spoken to him on the phone, he's unique to say the least). Of course, guarantying me a good time in Vegas is like forecasting the weather in San Diego.

Without further ado, here are the TGS official money lines for the weekend:

• Pitt -3.5 v. Virginia

• Bucknell -2.5 v. Duquesne (apparently this game it too minor to concern the Vegas odds-makers so I had TGS' in-house bookie, "Uncle Guido", set the line)

• Yankees to win world series: 4/1 (at this point, why mess around betting on individual games with the Yanks?)

• Dave Law's first round of golf (over/under): 99

• BT's first round of golf(o/u): 120 (factoring in his Thunderous drive)

• Odds of Dave Law not making it to the second round of golf: 3/1

• Hours before the desert sun burns Dave's bald spot (o/u): 0.7

• Total time spent at buffets (o/u): 5.0 hours

• Odds for the weekend's MPAA ratings

G: 100/1

PG: 25/1

PG-13: 2/1

R: Even

NC17: 25/1
