I was mistaken in my post yesterday. There are only two Mapps brothers: Scientific and Majestic. Also I forgot another classic name: Georgetown center Ruben Boumje Boumje patrolled the low post a couple of years back.

A few questions to ponder while you're lying in bed waiting to sleep:

-Have you seen that Captain Morgan's commercial, the one with the huge bonfire, the guy at the bar with 4 girls, and the guys standing in an aerobics class watching the (all attractive) women? Does the federal government really think that tiny unreadable text that says "no drinking under 21, captains orders" at the bottom of the screen when the commercial is ending will really have an impact when the whole rest of the commercial basically says "if you want to be this stereotypical ideal guy then you drink Captain Morgan's latest trendy hard lemondate/Zima knockoff"?

-What exactly is "truck season"? I've been told countless times both by dealer commercials and local shysters that now is the best time to buy a truck, but why? Isn't this the end of the model year for cars also?

-For that matter, why does every local car dealership commercial feature a dog dressed in people-clothes? This holds true no matter where in the United States you go, it's more American than apple pie or baseball.

-Remember when this site used to be advertised about 20 times during each episode of Sportscenter? Well surprise surprise it is going out of business. You'd think after the dot-com crash that people would finally realize that you cannot base your entire revenue stream on advertising and be successful, yet so many websites still do it. Note to every web CEO out there: people don't pay attention to your ads anymore, and the companies doing the advertising are starting to realize this (apparently they're not too quick either).

-Do people watch reality shows on TV anymore? I keep seeing ads for "Bachelorettes in Alaska" and "The Mole 2", yet I don't know a single person who watched the original Mole, never mind its sequel. People also seem to love medical shows, which explains all the ads for the latest gritty show about real life hospitals and their patients (as opposed to ER which was about George "Jack-in-the-Box" Clooney's bobbing head). I say combine the two. Call it "Fox presents Who Wants to be a Surgeon?" and cart in 10 weirdos who just want to get on tv so they can star in a B-movie and then disappear off the face of the Earth (Colleen from Survivor, I'm looking in your direction...). In each episode they perform real surgery on real patients. Watch them botch simple procedures because they lack "medical knowledge"! Watch heartrending stories of patients who have beaten the odds to survive this long only to be doomed by inept "doctors"! The winner is the last one to be sued for malpractice.

-Is there anyone out there who doesn't believe that Yao Ming will be a colossal bust in the NBA? And if not why did the Rockets draft him #1 overall? He's skinny, slow, and prone to taking jump shots, yet he is 7'5" tall. This automatically qualifies him as a great center, apparently, despite many many past contradictions of this theory. Speaking of the height-solves-all-problems theory, check this out and scroll down to the Portland Trailblazers. "Second-round pick Jason Jennings is a 7-footer, which the Blazers need." So basically all that is keeping the Blazers from being successful is someone, anyone, even Manute Bol, who is 7 feet tall? Somehow I think "players who aren't thugs" is also a need for the Blazers, perhaps moreso than "7-foot statues who can't shoot and are too skinny to guard Shaq".

-Is there anything more amusing in this world than movies where monkeys are a) dressed in people-clothes b) doing things that are normally attributed to humans, such as checking into hotels or playing minor league baseball?
