Friday praise to the Cal Golden Bears for defeating Stanford for a 9-3 PAC-10 record. Praise to Palo Alto's five shortest women who braved the I-880 for the sole purpose of annoying hostile Cal fans with random twirls and kicks and stumbles and white-girl shimmies. And praise to the Cal student bench, for treating the tiny ladies to the aplomb they deserved. See my back. Hear my keys.
Friday shame to plagiarists. Your soul must be stewing under six feet of rotting garbage for you to go through the trouble of starting a blog, and then just ripping words from other sites and pretending they're your own.
To wit: A sad little man named "Bytor" in Castro Valley ripped off my shit on Dec. 8, 2005.
Here's what he stole from me. He couldn' t even make up his own title.
"Bytor," by the way, has a kid now, the poor thing. Those are some solid family values you got there, Poppa Self-Esteem.
But Bytor's not just picking on me. No sir, almost his whole blog is cribbed from other Bay Area bloggers. Look what he stole from the tragically clever Wrapped Up Like a Douche. And what he stole from dear, sweet Daily Pepper. Big thanks to Canada's finest Al S.E. for uncovering this loser's shit-streak of personal failure.
And even Bytor is but the tip of the turd; it seems like half my blogroll is getting jacked this week. In fact, "Bytor" is a flailing amateur compared with "Alabama magician/stand-up comic" Christopher Peek, who tastefully chose to rip off the high-larious My Blog is Poop and Jack Kukoda and lots of other stuff, until he was busted. I wonder if Peek's still doing that hysterical "Git-R-Done" bit he crafted last fall.
Cal students storming the court after the win was kinda pathetic.
"Yay... We're still in second place..."

Yeah, well, a win over Stanfurd is a rare and special event.

Hey, Jon, they are second in the pac10. But can they realistically hope any better? ucla is the best team in ncaa basket-ball ever. period. It's an honor for Cal to look at their butts as they pull away in first place. And I am being just honest and impartial, nothing to do with me being a bruin.

As a fellow Bruin fan, I'm shocked (SHOCKED) by your optimism.

Jon: I am talking historically, of course, 11 titles and undefeated seasons and all. But maybe westwood found a new wizzard. It's definitely looking up.

Thank you for making me aware of this Bytor cretin. I so wish this world were one big comp course so I could flunk his butt.
I tried to post a comment following my Betty Friedan bit (which I worked hard on, by the way, and it makes me frightfully angry he stole it), telling him he'd best not be copying from me again, and I got a "blog not found" error.
Oh, well. What did I expect? Plagiarists don't have cojones anyway.
