Not ultimate related but still targeting the nerd demographic

If you've played the game Half Life,

you need to visit YTMND.com and watch this clip of a conspiracy radio host taking hook, line, and sinker (your sound must be on).

If you've never played the game before, the above clip falls firmly in "I guess you had to be there" territory.

Perfect season gone!

Although it's a week late, news of Pinkies Up defeat at the hands of Wanna Buy a Duck in the Minneapolis Winter Indoor League has already permeated the ultimate community. It wasn't close, really (i.e. 6 points or so not close). Our decisions were decidedly sketchy, even for winter league standards(and by "our decisions", I mean "my decisions").

I've always enjoyed the timing and general attitude around playing winter league. I treat it as a fun/social way to get back into the mix after getting burnt out on a long club season. However, there still are definite competitive undertones and playing a good game against teams filled with Zero/Bait players makes it even better. Also at some point soon, we'll all have to band together and hire part-time child care staff for all the babies hanging out on the sidelines!

We get the late slot tonight (11 PM) against the revamped Rocket, who continue to go the way of brother pairs and husband/wife combos (the Mooers, Fenskes, Schmits, and formerly Severts). If Tony Severt shows, I really hope he breaks out his .purple and yellow Converse sneaks a la Magic Johnson. Those things are amazing.
