Inverted or Invictus?Invictus Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
~William Ernest Henley
We will suspend reality and accept that Matt Damon is 6' 3" and 238 lbs for one reason: this is an excellent story, despite being an All Blacks supporter.
It has been fairly quiet on the commenting front so when a solid one comes and it's from a frequent contributor, we must acknowledge. This came from The Ghost of Sid Going (presumably his ghost would still have solid 70s mutton chop side burns).
Massholian caffinator??? Looks like the big-fella could use a lil support. Where to begin? The transition in our country from neo-conservatism to neo-socialism? The lack of control the people have over our government? The lack of availability of the NFL network? The ridiculous crock of shite known as the BCS? Or perhaps the ever improving graphics on hatethepatriots.blogspot.com? Yes, that's right, as our team's chances fade further into into the fog, the AIC has seen fit to assuage our angst with a feast for the visual senses. Thank you Babaganoosh! Now we have two things to hope for this season: 9-7, and more of the lovely Ms. Alba! Blog on, my good man, blog on!

Here at the blog there are a couple of things that we absolutely love: one of them is All Black rugby, and while we cannot deliver on a Charger season of 9-7 we can pay tribute to one of the great #9s of all time...
