Welcome to loserdom

Today's is my birthday. In fact, it's Midas's as well even though we didn't come from the same litter.

We get to share a birthday with a number of hotties, Ann Margaret, Penelope Cruz, Jessica Alba etc.

Unfortunately, we also share a birthday with Saddam Hussein so that take some of the fun out of it.

But what makes our birthday most significant is that it always lines up with the loserdom anniversary...... The NFL draft watchers.

When an accountant is able to call you out as a loser, what does that say about your geekdom? Guys who watch the draft, the combines, read draft newsletters are the epitome of a jock sniffing dorks.

What makes the draft so stupid is that all the "experts" spend all this time and energy to discuss players who may or may not be able to play. Seriously, look at the number one draft picks and note the number of guys who barely got a cup of coffee in the league. These were all supposedly "can't miss" players.... KiJana Carter, Steve Emtman, Aundray Bruce, Kenneth Sims.....

So if you know the 40 time of any draft pick and plan to watch this crap tonight just know that there's an accountant out there making fun of you. And if you plan to tune into the royal wedding this weekend, just know there's a group of Dungeon and Dragon players out there laughing hysterically at you as well.
