Following yesterday’s pathetic loss to the lowly Rams, a poster on Extremeskins.com writes:

A few of my friends and I had bad omens happen to us. I laughed them off at first but there’s no ignoring them after the fact we loss a game we should have won.

First example, My good friend and fellow Skins fan, who lives in Colorado sent a mass email Saturday night saying, a long haired sheep (ram) jumped out in front of his car and almost killed him and we shouldn’t take this game lightly.

He sent the email to the same 20 or so friends as we do every week. We talk about the game pre and post. Most of us laughed it off.
I was glad he was okay. But I told him the ram wanted to be put out of his misery. Jokes on me.

Then, as I do every week, I nerd out and simulate the game on Madden. I always play as the Skins and play next weeks opponent. I got the game around week two and have won against the computer on the first try every time, not against the Rams. I lost 4 in a row. I had to turn down the difficulty but I knew I was cheating myself.

So question is, anybody else have any bad signs?

What’s up, dweebs? Yeah, put down your Pogs for a second because I’m only going to be seen talking to you this one time. Tomorrow morning, The X-Files masterminds Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz are going to donate a collection of objects from the show to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. Or whatever.

But don’t get too excited, four-eyes: The event is open to museum and media types only. That’s right; I could totally go if I wanted to, but I’ll be busy, like, washing my hair and trying on new outfits, and other things that cool kids do that you totally wouldn’t even understand because you’re so unbelievably lame.

Artifacts from the show that I totally don’t care about at all include “a detailed and annotated script from the series’ pilot episode, FBI badges, posters and other objects.”

“Other objects”? I bet that’s code for “Gillian Anderson’s panties.” But oops—sorry—the museum is closed for renovation and currently has no plans to display the objects in the future. Are you crying yet?
