#$^%@#$ Monday

Monday. Sometimes I think Monday should be a verb, an adjective, as well as a noun! As in:

"This is a really important task, Jenkins - don't Monday it up." or "Sally really has her Monday face going today." Finally, we could say "Honey, the cat just Mondayed all over the floor!"

A brilliant weekend can be almost erased by the attitudes of a Monday, it seems. Streams of consciousness aside, let's take a look at the sports weekend for Finkini, shall we?

Glasgow Celtic: 3-2 win at home vs. Aberdeen. My buddy Bobby was probably "Mondaying" his pants until Celtic scored 3 unanswered to beat the sheep. WHEW!

Charlton Athletic: A bit of dissonance in SE7, it seems. Mr. Curbishley, why are we losing so much at the end of the campaign....AGAIN? Funny how this always happens when it's time to renew the season ticket book. And yet the club rolls on. Call it a loss to the fatman's Trotters. Bolton 2 CAFC 1. At the Valley. Ugh.

Accrington Stanley: A 2-1 loss vs. Woking almost negates any chances of moving out of the Nationwide Conference and into League 2. So much for seeing my wee club on a PS2 game (at least for one more year).

Columbus Crew: Fridays with Freddy? Neat-o! Crew win 1-0 on what, by all reports, was a stellar effort by Crew 'keeper Jon Busch. Must have been - I've heard the DC offense is pretty potent.

NHL Playoffs: NHL 215 - Fans 0.

Detroit Tigers: 2 Wins 1 Loss vs. the Royals. Anytime you can take a series against these clowns, it's a good weekend. Next up: Baltimore - let's sweep them, k?!?

By the way, the cardinals (the Roman Catholic ones) start voting on a new Pope today.
