:::pats dave on the back:::
There there now, weirddave. There will be another game, and another chance for your team to win. I think. I don’t know anything about football except that I don’t like it and it bores me to tears and why in the hell do those guys actually want to make money getting stomped by other huge guys wearing cleats man that’s gotta hurt but I bet it doesn’t hurt as bad as boxing I mean why let some big brute punch you over and over again in the face now that’s just plain silly if you ask me…
Oops. Sorry. Anyway, I hope you feel better soon! 😃

Well, Dave-
For what it’s worth, I think you are a really good person, and extremely funny, too.
What more could anyone ask for in a friend?
If I knew what is wrong besides sports, maybe I could be more specific. Since I don’t, let me just give you a hug and some of my homemade chocolate mousse pie with fresh raspberry sauce. It ought to cure whatever ails you.

I have male pattern baldness, too–the one is about as desirable as the other anymore.

Let me get this clear…
You were depressed over a sports team doing badly? Is that it?! IS IT?! I gave COMPASSION AND WAS NICE TO YOU OVER THAT!!!
Oh, you sorry sorry boy… just WAIT until I get you back in the Pit! For SHAME! A pox on you! I can’t believe I was so nice over something so, so \*&^\*ing LAME!!!
I may never forgive you for this! Never! My home town is Denver. I’ve seen the Denver Broncos get to the Super Bowl and choke and choke… you, you, WEENIE!
Oh, I just… (puts out flames erupting on her head) I’ll get back to you later!
(Stomps out, kicking and spitting, thinking of the male and female gymnastic teams performance in the Olympics over the last few nights)
Hey, really, best advice? Suck it up and deal. 😉

No Byz, it wasn’t about a football team. That just put me in a bad mood.

In fact, get all of the B-52’s songs. They just kick ass at cheering me up.

Ain’t the same, my dear. It would be like offering to share your dog after mine ran away…
