It’s Friday! It has been rainy, gloomy, and downright chilly around here lately as we make the miserable transition from summer to fall. And what really pisses me off is how abruptly it happened. One minute we were enjoying warm summer days, and the next Mother Nature apparently decided to flip the switch and remind us that winter is lurking just around the corner. I’m not ready for it. Hell, I’m never ready for it. I’m certainly not ready for the cold, the short days, and that horrid white stuff that will eventually start falling from the sky.

NASCAR heads to Kansas this weekend, so at least there’s some racing to help take my mind off the weather. Then on Monday night, the Bears take on the Eagles under the bright lights of Monday Night Football. Unfortunately, our quarterback is out with a hamstring injury, which means third-stringer Case Keenum gets the call. I’m not saying this game is going to go badly for the Bears, but… yeah, that’s pretty much exactly what I’m saying.

And now it’s time for some amateur goodness. While cleaning out my email the other day, I stumbled across this submission from a reader that somehow got buried and lost in the shuffle. Sorry about that! Apparently my inbox has its own Bermuda Triangle where perfectly good emails disappear for months at a time. Fortunately, this one finally resurfaced. So, better late than never.

Anyway, we’ve got double the babes, a whole mess of jokes, and amateur goodness to help wrap up another week. Enjoy!
