How Many Times Can You Type "Bracket" Before It Looks Weird?

Spring begins in a few days for the Northern Hemisphere, so I hope everyone out there is getting ready to pack up the parkas and bring out the sandals. I have to say that living in Miami deprives me of one of the great transformations of spring; when people don’t have to wear parkas, boots, and sweaters around anymore so everyone starts looking like humans and not like marshmallow creatures or those funny little plastic dolls you give toddlers that are kind of egg shaped Anyway, I hope this weekend finds the Pajibans shedding their winter drudgery, even though we all know that putting away the sweaters and coats only ensures that the final cold snap of winter will happen three days later. Here’s Thursday night’s TV:

7:00pm: “NCAA Basketball Championship, First Round” on CBS. Special five hour presentation. I hope all of you have your brackets ready! I mean, I don’t, but that doesn’t mean y’all shouldn’t fill out a gussied up flow chart for funsies.

8:00pm: “Community” on NBC

“Flash Forward” on ABC. A two hour first season spring premiere. I guess we’ll find out what the ramifications are of Not-Ralph Fiennes getting kicked out of the FBI when in his “Flash Forward” he was totally IN the FBI. Or probably not, because this show moves at the speed of stupid.

8:30pm: “Parks and Recreation” on NBC

9:00pm: “Afghan Star” on HBO. This is a documentary about the version of “American Idol” that happens in Afghanistan. It actually sounds pretty interesting.

“The Office” on NBC

9:30pm: “30 Rock” on NBC

10:00pm: “Archer” on FX. First season finale. WHAT?!? Too soon! At least the show’s on Hulu now so I can catch up.

“Celebrity Rehab Presents: Sober House” on VH1

“The Marriage Ref” on NBC

“Project Runway” on Lifetime

“Randy Jackson Presents America’s Best Dance Crew” on MTV

“The Real Housewives of New York City” on Bravo

Ugh...I made two Brackets with my 2 year old niece. I went to the trouble of following the teams and doing research...Lily went by what mascot or color of the schools she liked best. Right now...she is kicking my ass.

Diablo - I heard a 10 year old girl won our city newspaper's bracket contest last year. The word is, she made her picks based on the number of letters in the team names.

Clearly written by someone who has never lived in Chicago. Put away our parkas by March 21st? Are you insane?. June 15 is usually considered the date that the adventurous are willing to do it. Most of the more cautious among us wait until July.

You live in Chicago PaddyDog. We here in Minnesota consider that the south.
Though most of us have been enjoying the warm spell we've been having, we know better. It's going to snow again.
O.o

What, you guys think it's cold in your states? I'm from Michigan you fuckers. Our state is shaped like a goddamn mitten. We have two seasons here. One where the sledding is fantastic, and one where it's not so fantastic. I sometimes drink hot cocoa in July standing outside in snowpants while I wait for my turn on the tow rope to the top of the hill.

Please. You all are embarrassing yourselves. Please check the average snowfall of your city against Syracuse New York or any Upstate NY city.

I'll wait...

Now I will give you the cold. I used to live in the Midwest and the wind chill is no joke. Live on Lake Erie again? No thank you.

I do not want to shovel snow on Mother's Day or Halloween. Both have happened. No likey.
