The Sun Also Rises

I was reading this post and wondering.  Is there a good article title inolving the sun rising or setting?

There is.  Hemingway's The Sun Also RisesHere's a wikipedia link, but let me give you a more accurate summary.

Jake is somehow mangled in WWI such that he can no longer have sex.  My HS English teacher also said that "Jake" is code for "joke" because, well ... he can't.  He's got a crush on this girl (in our world, the Larry O'Brien Tropy) -- I forget her name as I didn't read the wikipedia entry.  Anyway, she's kind of a whorish, superficial bitch (like a reality show star, or Brenda Walsh).  They are "friends" and she toys with his affection.  He really wants her, but, you know, even if he could do "it" she'd still be who she is.

After trials and tribulations, they get back together (i.e., are still friends even though he wants more) and he resigns himself to being used and abused.  Always close, but no cigar -- so to speak.  He resigns himself to being close without ever touching, which is the best he can get.  Resignation and the rising sun.

I'm way too depressed about our team for a Friday morning.

How sad.

How true.

The Larry O’B is a superficial whorish bitch, definitely.

Tip of the Iceberg Technique

Ponder it will getting tight and watching a bullfight. Enjoy some bread, toasted and buttered, while the image stews.

Mmmmm ... Guinness

But those of us who did...

…recognize the Mr. Silvernail interpretation when we see it. Bravo, JSun, for making me get out my yearbook to remember who taught junior year English.

Mike, I would just like to say something:

Marcos De Niza TORCHED Brophy in the state soccer finals in 1992!

Yay!

BTW, JSun, I wanted to ask

Was Basketbawful making a threat in the legal sense of the word? Can we take action with them or do I just have to accept that you will be hunted down, murdered and by blissfully missing the ensuing suns carnage this season?

I don't know

I just figured a depressing Sun-Rising article would throw them for a loop.

If I go missing, avenge my death and kill Evil Ted.

Mmmmm ... Guinness

A Picture Paints a Thousand Words

Honestly, that article (the Basketbawful one) was written by some guy whose predictions for the season were summed up with a picture of candy-colored hornet. What does that mean, exactly?
