Hurrah For Friday
Yes its Friday and what a great thing that is, especially as its a THREE DAY WEEKEND. Its also NFL Conference Weekend, when the Bucs take on the Eagles and try to shake the We-Can't-Beat-Philly monkey off our back and get to the Superbowl for the first time in Franchise history. To say I'm excited and yet anxious is an understatement. Its easy to underestimate the job Gruden has done lifting this team out of the morale low that they had dropped to last year but the real credit has to go to one person - Brad Johnson. Brad has done the one thing that no QB has managed to consistently do since (possibly) Doug Johnson - he's given us hope. And yes, I do include Dilfer and King in that because, despite flashes of brilliance, both suffered from inconsistency - the bane of the franchise QB. Depsite whether we win or lose on Sunday (or indeed the Superbowl if we make it), we know that we now have a franchise QB that we can build our team around for the next few years. There is no doubt that Johnson can't do it on his own and that our defence, led by the self-styled QBKIlla, and the rest of our offense needs to elevate their game to another level, but with Johnson at the helm, at least we feel like we have a fighting chance (and I do mean fight).

As an Englishman in San Francisco, I feel that it is important that I ensure that You "Ham Shanks" understand the lingo that is the joy of English cultural vernuclar. As a result I have decided to institute a word/phrase of the week (or month since I am a lazy bastich).
English Word/Phrase Of The Week:
Ponce. The literal translation for ponce is pimp since that's what ponce means. However, the word ponce has been co-opted to mean a number of things that are not good. Its hard to exactly explain the definition but examples of ponce may be:
Justin Timberlake. He is, in fact, a huge double ponce because not only is he a ponce but he was also poncy for dating Bratney (although if he really did get in her panties then that makes him less ponce but ponce none the less).
Any man who moisturizes his face regulary is definetly a ponce.

And while we're on the subject....
Can someone explain to me why the fine garbage men of Sc**en**r (yes, you know who you are) insist on removing garbage bags from my bin if the lid does not sit flat? Is it:
1) They wish to marvel at the depth and quality of our garbage
2) Terriosts are suspecting of disposing of the bodies of assainated leaders, used nuke bombs ect in garbage cans just before pickup to avoid detection
3) They are fuck wits
4) Sc**en**r is running out of land fill
5) Its all in my imagination
