02/28/2005: "Pictures 44: Ivy Champs!"

Penn became the first team to clinch an NCAA Tournament berth this season with its win over Columbia on Saturday. I was glad to be there, and we had a great time celebrating afterwards...


A rare picture of me and Haggs with no beer. Fortunately, there's an emergency bottle of scotch right behind us under glass. Also fortunately, we're in a bar.


Ryan brought Kris, and later several more friends. But this picture doesn't show them.


Caroline and Maddy were on the other side of the table. Since we weren't on TV, we didn't all have to sit on the same side of the table. If we had been on TV, you would have only seen the backs of their heads. That's the way TV works, except on "That '70s Show" when they do the circle around the table thing.



A fishbowl full of ice in a Southern-themed bar with a bunch of straws and a plastic alligator on top. Yes, what a wacky centerpiece.


Rod's at the center of a Tuchinsky sandwich. But can you guess which one is the evil twin?


Apparently Caroline's eyes turned purple. But the real question is what's that thing in that guy's ear back there?


Maddy enjoys the delicious taste of hot sauce.


No, really, she does. Empty bottle of hot sauce, empty cup. Oh, and $45 in her pocket. Rod welched on his $5.


Caroline and I like to pretend that we're conjoined twins sometimes. Good times.


Haggs would be very intimidating if he was eight feet tall. Not that he isn't intimidating already, but eight-foot Haggs would be a force in the paint. You don't want to see this guy when you're driving the lane. He can block your shot and not spill a drop of his beer. That's just what eight-foot Haggs brings to the table.


Me, Caroline and Thing from the Addams Family.



The many faces of R.


Jessica is a Yankee fan. But she claims that up in Boston, she was cold and couldn't find another hat. So why is she wearing it in New York? Oh, if Derek Jeter ever sees this, her dreams of a whirlwind romance will be forever crushed...

Oh, and click here to see video of that gator doing a little dance. It's pretty low quality, but when I tried to adjust the brightness, it didn't get that much better. What it did do was turn it into a 45-megabyte file, too big to upload. So, low-quality plastic gator dance videos ahoy!

Congratulations on another Ivy League title. Wowwww!

Hey, what's the story with you and Haggs? Heard you were making the rounds with the ladies all night. And I mean all night.

And as for you Speco, what's the deal with a one-sentence response to all my great posts on that other dumb sign you put on your site. You think I'm doing this for the amusement of you and your little buddies. I need a good answer. Several graphs in length or I'm giving up on this site --- again.

Votta is sitting here with me, feeding me this stuff.

So there.

Thanks for your sincere and lovely congratulations. It's good to have support, 100 percent.

Haggs and I had a lovely time, as did the rest of us, although I'm not sure what you're trying to imply. All I can say is that, as usual, the night was incomplete without Cherwoo, the champion of champions. Wherever he goes, that's where the party is.

All I can say is that I'm sorry you don't feel your posts are being given the attention they deserve. I certainly don't want you to give up on the site.

But it seems that Votta is the brains of your operation. That pains me -- I expect better from you. Much better.

I already told you.

Yeah.
