Saturday, December 31st. The New Year's Eve Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

[Aristus]

"I have seen drunkards do more
than this in sport."

King Lear, Act II, Scene 1, Lines 35-36.

1. January 31st falls on a Tuesday

[Aristus]

2. Okay, fixed it.

Still on my first cup of coffee this morning.

Oh damn, have I lost another fan of WSTFTD? Now I'm down to three or so...

[taterguy]

3. And your photo is pro teams. Only college teams play today

[Aristus]

4. The post is a snap against Tim Tebow.

I had to show professional football teams because he plays for one of them.

5. My dear Aristus!

OK, now that I've read the thread, I know what this is about!

I don't mix much with sports, alas...

Anyway, this is well done, and I approve!

Happy New Year to you and yours!

[fizzgig]

6. i've only been able to catch my donkies once this year

and they played like garbage, but mostly him

[Aristus]

8. Happy New Year, fizzgig!

I just don't like Tebow's self-righteous strutting. It's essentially raising one's voice in the synagogue, so to speak, which Matthew Chapter 6 is very much against.

[fizzgig]

10. happy new year to you, too

i don't like his strutting, either. and the degree to which some people here love him is a bit creepy.

[Aristus]

11. His fans seem to see his success (when he has some), as validation of their own faith.

Which, if you think about it, is a little paradoxical. If your faith is sincere, it shouldn't require validation.

[fizzgig]

12. that is a good point

i think it's laughable to think god or jesus is a broncos fan

[Aristus]

13. Yeah, but as long as God and Jesus are expected to affect the outcome of sporting events,

the Seahawks could use a little sugar...

[Suich]

15. LOL!

[Suich]

7. Happy New Year, Aristus!

Tebow is one of the most over-rated players I've ever seen!

[Aristus]

9. Happy New Year to you, Suich!

I see much better passing and much less sanctimony from Baylor's quarterback. Maybe the Broncs will draft him to replace Tebow...

[livetohike]

14. Happy New Year Aristus!

[Aristus]

16. Back at ya, babe!

[Suich]

17. This will be the very last thread I kick in 2011!

[Aristus]

18. Yeah, that's right; kick a thread when it's down...

Although, I suppose, that's kind of what you're supposed to do with a thread on DU...
