Danny Doom’s Booze Cabinet

Well, the Bears football season ended quietly yesterday with a whimper of a victory over the pathetic Lions. Not even the addition of the new helmets could save what has been a disappointing year for our team. But I will be tracking the playoffs with my helmets in order to keep things interesting, it’s gonna be great. Just like I did when I was 12. Pictures to come!

It’s unlikely that I’ll be posting again this year, barring any unforeseen breaking news of importance, such as last night’s game. I had all the voodoo working, with Obama trying on the helmet and then not being able to fit it on because his ears were too big, and then the Old Style instead of the Stella, and well, you get the picture. It worked of course, because that’s how things go in my universe. Not really, but I was having fun anyway. What a game! Ridiculous. Had a feeling all along they were gonna pull this one out. Especially right after they missed the field goal in OT.

Anyway, screw 2009, it wasn’t nearly as cool as 2008, but it was alright. As far as decades go…not bad. The 70s were pretty good but other than that I suppose the 00s did okay. Except for all that war, politics and other bullshit. Christ, what a disaster! Bring on a fresh new decade please! One with helmets and Old Style and football…just like the 70s.

Thanks to Denver Jim for both the new set of helmets and the Old Style!

What was I saying about the Bears being too conservative? This article says it all: The Bears need to run left! I should be the coach, man. Alright, everyone! Let your freak flag fly! Have a beer! And goddammit, run LEFT!

Not celebrating the Cubs so much as hoisting a beer to Cody’s, the fine establishment where we watched the Bears Debacle last week. Coincidentally, we also watched the Bears Superbowl Debacle there too a few years back. Oh well. Times are tough. The season of our discontent. We’re due for changes. I’m listening to the Lips new album “Embryonic” and it’s pretty damn cool. I don’t hear a single!

Halftime of a bad football day for me, and if I hear about the Bronco’s “shocking win” one more time I’m gonna throw a bottle at the tv. Yes, the Bears are at the halfway point of a miserable game but it was the Denver-New York Jets game that really ruined my day. Let’s just say that I had $$$ in my eyes and another Loser Pool victory in my sights when friggin’ Brett Fav-ra and his 5-game winning streak went up against Denver in New York. But, as the NBC guys keep reminding me, the road teams went 10-1 today (before tonight’s Bears game in Minnesota). So the Jets lost and I’m out and the pool is over (other guy went out on Denver too). Can you see the steam coming out of my head?

Anyway, 17-7 Vikings as I write this but an interception and the Bears have a chance to get back into it. Can we score from the goal line this time? That first half debacle was a true low point, going from 1st and goal to a 99-yard TD the other way, but… Yes! 17-14 and the Bears have life. Oh wait, just before I hit publish on this post the Vikings run back the kickoff half the field. Boo.

UPDATE:

Oh, fuck it.
