New(?) Alanis. Flip it and reverse it and have a boy dedicate it to me. "DJ, can you play Everything for the coolest girl I know. I'm glad she's 'still here'."
I can be a nightmare of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it’s going out of style
I have the bravest heart that you’ve ever seen
And you’ve never met anyone who's as positive as I am sometimes
You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here
I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm the most gorgeous
And you’ve never met anyone who's as everything as I am sometimes
What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know
What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go
I do so enjoy getting a rise out of people. Perhaps that's why Brian from Iowa drives me insane. It's pretty impossible to even track on his radar, let alone get a rise out of him. Anyway, that's also why Brian Wilson is so much fun... because it's so EASY to get a reaction out of him. Another thing that's fun, is joking to my Red Wing fan friends about the Avalanche winning. WOW! Talk about an reaction! "Do you value our friendship at all?" says Andy. I told him I wouldn't talk about the Avs if he quit smoking. Fat chance. haha
I have been struggling to find any sort of love for hockey. It's hard. I want to get into it, but as with any sport, I need a team to root for, and my brain is so hardwired to NOT like "red" teams that it's virtually impossible for me to care about the Red Wings. It becomes easier though, for example, when they score and my boys get so excited that rather than high-fiving me, they kiss me on the cheek! (The squeeky wheel gets the oil again! I had complained all evening about being "just one of the guys"!)
I do also enjoy Thirsty Thursdays at Oldsmobile Park, by the way. What more could a girl possibly ask for?

Things:
Today is my mom's birthday. It is also Lili Pi's birthay. I now officially don't know any minors so I think that was my last 21st birthday celebration. (note by the time stamp below... it didn't last long) I did however have some super yummy EL microbrews, including the Spartan Wheat... of course.
Yesteryday was my ex-ex-ex-boyfriend's ex-girlsfriend's birthday. I have a mean memory. It's pretty selective though.
I'm so geeked about the Luggies game tomorrow. Come! Everyone will be there!!! It's Thirsty Thursday! You know you can't resist hot chicks, drink specials, and minor league baseball. No one can resist that. Not even hot chicks!
Amazing news! I can talk to boys in bars! Holy crap! Here's the scoop:
In retrospect, he looked A LOT like The Mike. huh.
So do you think Teresa is pregnant with Ryan's baby? Nah, I think it's Eddie's too.
My local news just featured a story about a strike at Casino Windsor. Yes. Windsor, Canada. Local news. I'm practically Candadian.
I'm pretty sad because my 3 day Toontown trial ends today. I am sad to report I might have to pay for an additional month. *sigh* I'm trying to resist the temptation... but I am only so strong.
2004 Australian League MVP: Dave Thomas. (no, not that Dave Thomas. don't be silly.) His mommy took the linked picture at the Mall of America during the 2001 Final Four weekend in Minneapolis. He's very tall, and very cute. And... he's Canadian. *i love him*
It snowed this morning. It was high 70s this afternoon. Welcome to Michigan. 4 season... in one day.
Two Americans are controversially being held "indefinitely" as "enemy combatants". While mostly tuning out the 10:00 news, this caught my attention. Mostly because they reported that those challenging this action were demanding a precise definition of indefinite custody. Yeah. You get where I'm going.

Brian from Iowa: you know you want the "Worst president ever" thong.
StepheeJoy: He's quite close enough to my reproductive organs already, thank you
Brian from Iowa: good point. Ooo...Scary.
After wondering recently when Big Fish would be available on DVD, I was delighted to find it on sale at Meijer this evening. I eventually resisted tempation... but I do love the Tim Burton. I want to marry him... though sadly I'm sure he's asexual after 30+ years of being terrified of girls. He seems the type.
< rant >
So, is there anyone out there who just adores their web hosting company? Because I swear if I weren't the lazy bum I am, I would do a little research, transfer my site, then kick Dzones in the ass and say, "Hasta la vista, Baby!"
I don't have time for this down-for-HOURS-at-a-time-once-a-month bullshit.
< /rant >
Mr. Vegas should appreciate this one:
JohnKerryIsADoucheBagButImVotingForHimAnyway.com
Music for America: Featuring "Bush Joke Video". Keep laughing W. You've sent an awful lot of soldiers overseas. We'll be happy to get the votes of their families. If the troops are lucky maybe they'll even get to vote themselves.
Democratic Underground: More subversive articles, links, etc. Check out their fun-tastic t-shirts!
So, raise your hand if you had to scrape snow off your car window this morning. Hmm. Just me?

According to an email quiz sent by Megara, I am Snoopy:
You are fun, you are very cool and popular. You always know what's in and you never are out of style. You are good at knowing how to satisfy everyone else. You have probably disappeared for a few days more than once but you always come home with the family values that you learned. Being married and having children are important to you, but only after you have had your share of fun times.
What do you think?
Back from the trenches, Jill sent me this great Washington Post article (Body Politics), saying it really captured a lot of the spirit of the day. I was really touched. I wish more than ever I could have been there.
Here's another really nice write-up, also from The Post (Women's Rally Draws Vast Crowd).
Pictured left is the Mall in Washington, D.C. on Sunday afternoon. The March for Women's lives may have been the largest march of any kind in this country. Click on the picture to see more images from the event. See if you can spot Jill. She's the one with the yellow and purple NARAL sign! ha!
(You'll have to complete a free registration on the Washington Post website to read the articles. I can email you the first one though if you don't want to bother with the site.)
new additction. 7am. still awake. disney's toontown.
rather long download. well worth it. yeah. play your 3 day trial now. i might be forced to pay for it. i'm an addict.
My big plan for my day off is to swim my laps, FINALLY get an oil change (Have I gotten one since leaving Florida? I don't know. You tell me.), clean out the garage and create a giant pile of goodies to sell at the neighborhood garage sale. Maybe if I get really ambitious I'll write an essay or two for that class. Oh, that infernal class....
This means, of course, that I'll get absolutely nothing done at all after waking up around 2pm. *sigh*

Updates from Washington. Have fun, Jill!

Dear Marcher,
After months of planning I am devastated not to be able to march with you this weekend. Be strong and yell with not just your own voice, but my voice too. Be brave and stand up with not just your own courage, but mine too. Hold firm to not just your own conviction, but mine too. I'm thinking of you, and I'm proud of you.
So, I guess you have crossed into the inescapable ranks of dorkdom when Owl Pellets seem like an interesting afternoon activity. Aparently owls don't digest bones so well, and you can buy sterilized owl pellets that basically contain the skeleton of whatever they had for dinner, which you can retrieve and reassemble. Sounds like god fun to me!

I just can't let Earth Day go. Here's a basic little Flash movie you should see. I especially enjoyed the Mr. Yuk cameo.
(apparently there is a Mr. Yuk theme song!)
Also, this is kind of sweet. I was on there somewhere the other day. Discovered it in my webstats.
Also, the Micaela Word of the Day is: Idiocracy. I think she meant idiocy... but I think it more acurately reflects the Bush Administration. Well, in fairness... so does idiocy.
Curious quote from the planetarium aide this evening: "Our solar system's largest planet, Jupiter, is so big you could virtually fit all of the other planets in the solar system inside of it with room to spare."
Like Tomorrowland music? Who doesn't! Check out Mark Mercury. He did the soundtrack for the current show at Abrams Planetarium and it's out of this world!
As a YES kid, I was known as "the recycling nazi", among other things. Apparently things that seem like common sense to me are extreme and tree-huggerish in the eyes of some of my friends. I just happen to care about the environment. And for those of you who think Disney brainwashes it's Cast Members... my eco-conscience can largely be attributed to my years spent at Disney's Animal Kingdom. And yes... my eco-conscience is a grasshopper.
Anyway, then I moved on to, well... not bigger and better things, but different things in WDW Ticketing. There I encountered an even more formidable foe to nature than name-calling. APATHY! While a surprisingly liberal bunch, my new crew was... well, old and set in their ways. They didn't really care how many resources they wasted if it made their job easier. So I just had to show them that SAVING resources could make their job easier too!
Well, this "recycling nazi" got her day in the sun when the Disney Company recently released its Enviroport 2003. It's a year-in-review look at the environmental efforts of all divisions of the company worldwide, groups and departments within the company, and even individuals. I managed to get a blurb about our efforts, as well as a full color picture of our team published! Yeah for being a squeeky wheel who starts to see some change.
Sometimes you can't change years of thinking by yourself. Sometimes all you can do is plant a seed and leave a legacy. Today I found out that the person I consider my YES replacement, Brian from Iowa, was nominated by his fellow YES kids for Disney's Environmental Excellence Award, and will be THE ONLY Advanced Intern honored with this award at a banquet in June. I like to think I had an itty bitty part in that... but either way I am super proud of my favorite kid.
Disney's Enviroport 2003 (see page 11)
I'm having a hard time downloading this. If you are too here's my excerpt:
Ticket to Success
The Walt Disney World Ticketing Department created a system that allows them to view Accounts Receivable and Wholesaler Code reports on their computer monitors. Previously, the only method used to verify minor changes involved printing reports several times per day. The change will allow them to print one copy at the close of business, saving an estimated 44 reams of paper each year.

Daily dose of random:
I don't really know what this is... but it is funny.
Mickey Mouse sent me another guardian angel to remind me it was not only one of my favorite days, but also (and not coincidently) the birthday of Disney's Animal Kingdom. What a beautiful little 6 year old you are! It was the first of many I5 mice to come, I'm sure. I've heard rumors.
There is a universal language of 5th graders. Today I observed an orientation and Slime workshop for an interesting school group. It was Frost's Back to Back class where 5th graders spend the year learning French and about the French culture, then in the spring, a class from France joins them in Jackson for school, and they live with the Frost kids too, I think, for two weeks. After the two weeks in the US, all the kids go and spend three weeks together in France. What a great experience! Anyway, they were in town to see the Science Center, the Capitol, and the a Lugnuts game. The Slime workshop for the French kids was so amusing. Everything had to be translated so the pace was much different than usual, but they were bright kids and it was amazing to see how similar they were to the American kids. The best was when they opened their bags of Slime and exclaimed, "Ew!" as they touched it. Apparently there is an international expression for, "Gross!"
I am easily distracted by sparkly ladies.
This isn't news so much as a new perspective... new word... same idea, bigger picture... etc. Perhaps good to note for future job interviews as well. I think my greatest strength is the gift of Spin. I have always said I could sell anyone anything. I have also often noted my ability to put things in a positive light (for example, if the Wings hadn't lost tonight, they wouldn't be able to make a miraculous come-back later in the series!), or even more entertaining... my ability to make anything sound negative when the situation calls for it. I can be very persuasive... hypnotic and manipulative even. Only recently did I realize how connected these traits are. They are the gift of Spin. I think this means I would be a great politician... or a PR manager for a politician... or a lawyer... or telemarketer... (This doesn't seem so good anymore...) No, I'm sure it's a gift... I have to just choose to use it for good and not evil.
I mean, let's face it... Britney Spears is hot. I don't care what you have to say about her personality, or brains, or blah blah blah. She's hot.
Happy Earth Day!
This is one of my favorite days of the year. Check out some of my favorite sites:
Disney Wildlife Conservation Fund
Disney Environmentality
Environmental Defense
The Rainforest Site
(and Happy Birthday DAK!)

My #1 all time favorite Brian came through today! He actually mailed me the materials I requested (begrudgingly and against his will, I'm sure) and totally made my day. Now a little 9 year old girl can have an extra magical vacation. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I wish I knew how it happened... I'm pretty sure guilt tripping and begging have no effect, but I must have done something right to get mail today. If only I knew the trick... (I can hear Brian's evil cackle now. -And now he is drumming his finger tips together, raising one eyebrow and saying, "Nyes" in an ever so Mr. Burns manner.)
Also, my mom has this new habit of calling my cell phone from two stories up to say goodnight. Oh, Technology.

In the long internet tradition of having too much time on your hands (think Furniture Porn and "Block Structure" Porn)... I bring you, The Lord of the Peeps.
Things:
I think my cat is a liquid. He takes the shape of his container. If he's sleeping on the arm rest of the couch he'll be long and flat. Decidely rectangular. If he's sleeping on the cylindrical ottoman, he'll be curled up in a round ball. He also fits perfectly in drawers and baskets of varying shapes and sizes.
I've got a back-up plan for the secret stash of money. I'm plotting a jail break from mom's basement at which time I will hideout in Old Town for awhile. Old Town is happenin'... and won't suck my soul out as fast as suburbia. I'd just move right downtown... but it's just not as happenin'.
How to live the good life: Hang out at Arts and Culture Benefits with names like: "The Bare Minimum: Free Beer, Cheap Art". Have a few of the featured artists know you too, it'll add to that feeling like you're part of the scene.
Oh! And I would just like to let you all know that the Phi Mu Dreamgirls ROCK! After sending an email plea for volunteers to approximately 30 of my friends in town, the ONLY people I have heard from are a huge chunk of my Phi Mu girls. Most of them are busy this weekend and unable to help, but they are so on the ball and volunteered to help out in the future. I love them. Especially the ladies who will be helping me make this week's Super Saturday a raging success!

It's true what they say. Women are from Omicron Persei 7. Men are from Omicron Persei 9.
Grrr.... as much baseball as I watch, I can't remember seeing a Grand Slam since 1984, and who could forget that? It's not too much to ask. It happens all the time. I just want to see it!
So this afternoon I was watching the Cubs game and they were winning and doing just fine. The game was taking forever and I determined that I had plenty of time to take a shower then watch the end of the game. In reality I had plenty of time to miss Lee's 7th inning Grand Slam, then watch the end of the game.
Isn't that nice?
Sunday, April 18, 2004
The Luggies rallied their butts off in the 9th inning, but South Bend, once again, proved to be too much for the Nuts.
But all is forgiven, just this once, because it was a GORGEOUS 80+ degree day and I got my freckles! About time. In Florida I would have had them months ago! But they're back and they're just so cute. I also got a mild First Base tan, which if you've ever been to a ball game at a decent park, you'll know means the left side of my body is nice and pink! I did my best to keep it as even as possible by turning as far to home plate as I could... but my arms especially are a bit uneven.

I often complain about the use of CGI in live action movies. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there is something about the computer animation that doesn't blend with the live action. I can spot it a mile away and it forces me to be an "active viewer". I much prefer being sucked into a film, but CGI pulls me out every time.
Now, entirely CG movies are cool by me. I adore Pixar with all my heart. But even CGI within traditionally animated movies can bug me too. I don't know why it's so easy to tell the difference. A good example is the train in Disney's Home on the Range. When it's moving it is So obvioulsy computer generated. It bugs me.
One thing that REALLY irks me is when I see CG humans. Yuck. They always looks awful. There is a reason you don't see people too often in the Toy Story movies. Think Quidditch scenes in the Harry Potter flicks. Horrible.
For all of you who have heard me moan about CGI for so long, the point to all this is that you should know I think the Animatrix is pretty sweet. The episode called "Final Flight of the Osiris" is completely CG. The people are amazing. In the opening and somewhat erotic swordfighting scene, the skin tones and even movements are so good. When the male's robe gets sliced off and you just see is torso... damn. It looks real.
This is what happens when scientists have too much time on their hands.

"Maybe I'm not as quick on my feet as I should be."
-George W. Bush
You just couldn't ask for more from a Home Opener. The weather couldn't have been better, the fans couldn't have been more fun, the drunks couldn't have been more rowdy ("The nuts need you!")... and the lines couldn't have been longer. Fans and players alike did their part to ensure a victory for the reigning Midwest League Champs. In fact the quick centerfielder (the newly dubbed, "Speedy" and section B fan favorite) batted in the winning run! What more could you ask for? Footlongs, nachos, cotton candy and smuggled-in peanuts, you say? Got it.
Now, I did miss FAP to be there... and not just any FAP. Davy Jones FAP. All of section B heard me talking to G about Brian dancing and touching girls and were happy to hear that Mickey Mouse says hello.
My potential trip funds might accidentally get spent on season tix for the Lugs!
***
Oh! And I almost forgot about my very own Felix Pie bobblehead! Just what every girl dreams of... He was a Lugnut last year but, being a top 40 prospect, he has moved on to bigger and better things this year. I think he's in Daytona. (See how smart I am?)
Thursday, April 15, 2004
Aww yeah... Who has tickets for the season opener at Oldsmobile Park? Yeah, that's right. I do.
Get ready for some baseball!

Random Notes: ( You know you love it)
Starting next week I will have some official programming responsibilities at work. Yeah for me! More info to come. It's all kind of top secret for now.
Quite possibly the aforementioned "self esteem issues" I may or may not have are a result of having a best friend (for whom I would gladly do anything at the drop of a hat) who acts like he could not possibly be more inconvenienced by my request to mail me a couple publications to which he has easy and ample access. And it's no good gently reminding him of the INSANE amount of mail he has received from me over the last 3.5 years. He doesn't take kindly to holding things over his head like that. Pretty much any kind of guilt trip at all is useless since I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a guilt bone. Other people's feeling don't register high on his radar. (I'm kidding, of course... I'm sure deep down inside he really cares deeply about my desire for mail.)
Brian Wilson stared at a naked chick for hours this evening.
Tomorrow night I'll get paid to essentially have a slumber party in a Science Center. You can pay me as little as you like if you're going to pay me to sleep!
I may actually be a legitimate WDW Cast Member again soon, which makes me very, very happy. All you need is faith and trust. And a little Pixie Dust.... and a hell of a lot of patience. Maybe now I can take a little vacation. It probably won't cost me anything because I'll be able to work... and make more money doing it then when working at my "real" job.
Enough for now. I'm too distracted.
Tuesday, April 13, 2004
I was recently accused of having self esteem issues. I take a look at my friends and wonder how this can possibly be the case.
I have a couple friends that really drive me up a wall. Several really. Obviously they are completely awesome human beings or I would not associate myself with them. Duh. These friends of my are amazing. They really are. They're an intelligent, attractive, fun, and talented bunch of kids... yet so wrought with.. Ok, ok, I'll say it. "I should buy them all magazine racks for Christmas, cuz they got ISSUES."
I love you all. Each and every one of you. I have impeccable taste and am an excellent judge of character. Just suck it up and face the fact that you're wonderful. Please. For the sake of my sanity.
And to my accuser, the one person out there who I could have possibly been so annoyingly "unconfident" around, I apologize wholeheartedly... even though you're one of the aforementioned friends. But you knew that.
Sunday, April 11, 2004
I'll admit I went to see Home on the Range primarily just because it was a Disney movie and it seemed like something I should do.
I was delighted! It was cute and happy and funny and had an amazing voice cast, but that was nothing if not excpected. The real surprise was what only an eye like mine would even care about, I guess. You see, from the very beginning when I gasped audibly at the opening frame, I was mesmerized. It had hands down the most amazingly breathtaking backgrounds I have ever seen. It was so beautiful. I have never seen such vibrant colors. For the last few years I've really noticed the backgrounds in animated features. I think it's my calling. I've been inspired!

Random notes:
Have you ever gotten a 20 oz. Coke out of a vending machine and opened it only to find out that part of it had frozen up like a Slurpee? I love that. Especially now that I know it freezes when you open it because the pressure decreases just fast enough and drops the temperature just enough to freeze it. Yummy!
Chicks (as in baby chickens) are just about the cutest things. They are ready to be played with just an hour or two after hatching and they fall asleep in your hands because they think you're warm like their mommy.
I managed to successfully run a Super Saturday (albeit a tiny one) pretty much by myself. Mic will be proud the place didn't implode without her. It helps when you have two volunteer boys to pretty much boss around as you please.
There were more... but my brain has gone all sleepy... so maybe next time.

I feel especially thankful tonight for my friendship with the coolest guy in the world.
I'm shocked, but thankful that he seems to think I have some nasty self-esteem issues, because that can only mean he thinks more highly of me than I often think of myself.
I'm thankful that there have been times when our friendship seemed awkward or strained to me, and that we have shared the history and experiences we have, because now I can also be thankful for the hilarious candid nature of our relationship and can appreciate the little things so much.
For example, I appreciate a nearly 2 hour long phone conversation DURING a televised Cubs game. I'm not sure how it happened, but it did and for the record, it is officially enough to make up for any neglected birthdays. (you're off the hook) I forgot how much I missed my Baseball tutor's commentary!
I promise to work on the Infield Fly Rule. And accusatory is a word.
Cubs win! Cubs win! finally...
Speaking of ads I have loved and lost... *sigh*
I just had another pop into my head. The infamous dancing panda Snickers ad. You know the one... "I'm so preeeetty. I'm so preeeeetty... Pretty pretty dancing... What do pandas eat for lunch? They eat BAMBOO!!"
Kills me. I think it's just the way the guy kind of slurred "Theyeetbmbooo!" If only I had that as an audio clip.
pretty, pretty dancing... pretty, pretty dancing...

*If this makes no sense... you're not a YES kid. Though you stand a chance if you have been to the Hall of Presidents.*
Today I tried to do the Presidents for the first time in... 6 months. It was sad. Of course I have permanently bonded with the first 18, but beyond that... ouch. It was rough but in the end I had 41 (42 counting Grover twice) and knew exactly where the missing President should be sitting. The fourth 6 and following 8 were ever so slightly out of order, but all in all... I did well. About 5 out of order and poor Warren G. missing all together.
And yes, I had to do the President Dance. Even for the first 18. It's funny... when I list them I pretty much have to do it "standing next to" William Henry, but once I hit Rutherford I'm in the audience.
Also, you'll note I am on a first name basis with the guys. They're the only audio-animatronics on property that I don't think will eat me... though on stage alone, I sometimes worry just a little.
For much the same reason that Pujols is the funniest baseball player name, Krapohl's is the funniest car dealership name.

Big fat mistake, Fox. Boo-ray.
BOOOOOOO-RAY!
OK, so I'm not one to not live up to my word (ok, maybe I am sometimes...) so I guess I have a new best friend. (Sorry, Brian-from-Iowa)
Shad is so freakin' funny. That's all I have to say. He far surpassed my expectations when I put out my desperate plea for the Toys R Us bunny ad.
Here is his work of art, which with a little faith and trust will actually get you to the bunny ad. Now that I have it downloaded I can watch it whenever I want.
And I'd like to state for the record that all I know is polymerization and I do blame Brian Wilson. SCIENCE!
Sunday, April 04, 2004
FYI: I am quite the talented Star Gazer, it turns out. I even impress myself sometimes. So anyone interested in straining their neck and staring at the sky while I go on and on in my "teacher voice"... well, you know where to find me.
disappointed. in myself more than anything else, i guess. we'll see.

This post is brought to you by the letter D.
So, I was in the mall this evening and noticed that Vicki’s had Buzz-Lightyear-Green bras and panties in stock. I say had, because shortly after this observation, Hurricane Stephanie went on her semi-annual whirlwind rampage of Victoria Secret. Let’s just say, now I can be hot in true Galactic Hero style.
What a ball I am having!
I was a little leary of doing a chemistry demonstration with 20 1st graders. I like 4th graders. They are old enough to have an intelligent conversation with but young enough to still have respect for adults. I wasn't sure I could communicate with 1st graders.
I can SO communicate with 1st graders! It was the best time ever. They were so cute and totally engaged and had the funniest answers. I loved it. They seemed to love it too.
Later I created a "magical moment" of sorts. I may not have easy access to Pixie Dust these days... but I do have a fully loaded chem lab. I had about the smartest 5th grader ever ask me what the equation is for the whole chemical reaction resulting in Slime. Like I know. What do I look like? A Chemist? (Looks down sheepishly at lab coat) Well, after he left I snooped around a little and found what most probably is the chemical formula for Slime. I wrote it down on a slip of paper and wandered through the museum until I tracked down Mr. Smartypants. He was thrilled. His parents thought I was very sweet. (Which is like the opposite of scary and abrasive!)
Anyway, I am so in my element and loving it. Just thought you should know.
Some important things I learned tonight:
I'm sexy when I lapse into "teacher voice" and some people greatly appreciate my "cackle" of a laugh.
My best bar trick includes a $1 bill and the Great Seal of the United States of America.
I cannot draw eagles but I can draw excellent diagrams of life as a roller coaster of emotion.
The Red Wings won the President's Cup because they have the best season record.
It may be ok that hockey games can end in a tie. There is a complicated point system I don't fully understand.
I am not allowed to breathe the word "Avalanche" in Michigan.
I am a baseball fan. The words "Opening Day" stirred unusual emotions within me when appearing on the big screen tv.
6 is not too many. I was my number 4's number 4.
Andy is the head of a Dance Dance Revolution. I don't give him enough credit for anything.
B Wilson will be in trouble if I'm funny on Saturday.
