End of the winter sports season wrap

It's been a while since I've updated the site - the Tweets of the Weeks as a weekly feature is a great idea, but not one for a busy photographer who is only going get busier over the next six weeks.

That said, I wanted to put a bow on the winter sports season before looking ahead to spring sports season.

As of today, March 31, the winter sports photos link has been updated one final time.

If you know of a game that appears to be missing from the site, please let me know and I'll look for it.

Week 8 Tweets of the Week 

The pickings have been lush this week, but my time has been limited.

That said, with some new follows and more time on my hands in the near future, this week's crops should be a harbinger of good things to come.

Charlie Sheen is now my least favorite Baldwin brother.
@stephenkruiser - But he's the gift that keeps on giving

I have lost in golf to Charles Barkley. I'm so bad in an odd way it's even better than being good. It's pure, uncut Augusta Dilaudid
@DennisDMZ - Don't have a clue what that means, but it makes me laugh - glad to see he's now on the Twitter train

#VT government says "non-essential" employees should not come in. So Gov. Shumlin stays on vacation.
@MattCrawford - Hey, it's been a long six weeks in office. Why should he half to stick around for the few weeks the legislature is actually in session

Amazing that my kids still love mac & cheese!
@BradRobertson - More suprising you still feed it to them

In honor of Mardi Gras I am tweeting topless.
@StephenAtHome - Steven Colbert seldom disappoints

Nature is a ten ton bitch who craps wherever she wants.
@stephenkrusier - An interesting way to put it, but apt in regards to Japan

If you listen closely you can hear the gas pump tell your kid's college fund to go &*%! itself.
@MartyFLawrence - And it's only getting worse

Look closely in Nancy Pelosi’s eyes when she’s pretending to think and you can see the rotating beachball that appears when your Mac crashes
@DennisDMZ - Wish we could just reboot and have her go away

#thingsthatdontgotogether Facebook & a relationship
@davechappelle - Unless you are looking for a relationship that doesn't involve actually seeing the other person ... ever

Why do people put designs on toilet paper? It's not like when they wipe their butts there gonna be like Oh my! A brown flower!!
@MartyFLawrence - Ewww!

Odds are high we could be matched up with #harvard #bostoncollege or #CofCharleston in the #nit #MarchMadness @UVMmbb #Uvm #SelectionSunday
@VermontSports - What were the odds of Cleveland State?

These last two are mine and both meant in good fun.

Tom Haley is the Cliff Clavin of VT sportswriters - amazing amount of knowledge about nothing - mean that in a good way!, 4 real #vtplayoffs
@scorrow

Are they playing algebra? RT @LamoureuxPhoto: Mt Abe leads Lamoille 1w-1e after w qtr. #vtplayoffs.

Tweets of the Week - part 7

Sitting in a Motel 6 after nearly getting stranded on my way home from the Freeps and the next best thing - besides heat, a bed (hopefully without bed bugs) and plumbing - is that I have so much coffee coursing through my veins that at 2:19 a.m. I'm still motivated to keep the Tweets of the Week alive for at least one more week.

I've started following some prolific and funny guys - Dave Chappelle, Martin Lawrence and Chris Tucker - to name a few. Good for a laugh, but not good for quoting in on a PG-13 rated blog. Still, if you have an account, they are worth the price of admission.

Without further digression, digressation, or forget it. Here's the TotW.

Charlie Sheen takes early lead for Quote of the Year: "You can't process me with a normal brain." @robneyer - I think we have a winner.

Watching Charlie Sheen on CNN. That dude is coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs @PeteAbe - More like coo-coo for coke.

Never realized 2 1/2 men was that important. 30mins of predictable laughs, Sheen move on. It's an effin TV show, gnarley gnarlington poser - @ryenrussillo - Wow. Bitter. Nice!

At ths point...my Cup O' Sheen runneth over. I mean....how do I even find a home for all this genius? @notthefakeSVP - Wow. Snakry. Nice!

Seriously now, did anyone ever expect Charlie Sheen to become more bizarre than Rick Vaughn? @howaboutafresca - Yep. Look at him. He reeks bizarre.

Charlie Sheen: "Drug tests don't lie. Scoreboard doesn't lie." Don't know what that means but that's my favorite quote so far of his. @howaboutafresca - Actually, ball don't lie is better.

Justin Bieber is 17 now... he safe for one more year until I can pick a street fight with his ass @davechappelle - I'd pay to see that.

How terrifying would it be to actually not know the difference between your ass and a hole in the ground? @Conanobrien - I know some people we could test to find out.

"That's a great sports question. Can we get a man to read it now so we can take it seriously"- @danieltosh (I know I shouldn't laugh!!) @ESPN_Michelle - Would be funnier if it wasn't so true.

If a dude tells you the score giving the smaller score before the larger score, do you really need to know anything else? Nope. @notthefakeSVP - My ALL-TIME petty pet peeve.

Know someone funny I should be following, let me know.
