BertFlex: Officially The Champs

Over the weekend, we made another significant purchase in BertFlex history:


Quit looking at my crotch...it's a championship belt! And not just some crap belt made by some Indonesian kids, this is the real deal (straight outta fuckin' Honduras!). It's a replica of the "Smoking Skull" belt that Stone Cold Steve Austin wore when he was the WWF Champion.

For that fact alone, it is very fitting that this belt belong in our possession. Now all disputes among the group of Flexers can be be decided via title match.

After "winning" the belt over the weekend, I defended it against the Mad Librarian in a heated arm-wrestling match. It was very very close, but I prevailed, putting me at 1-0 in title defenses.

So for anyone interested in taking a shot at the title, I'm here baby. But keep in mind: I'm the champ; I call the shots.

Come get some.

Hey Pats; THIS is What Undefeated Looks Like

The BertFlex-endorsed Illini Hockey Club won the ACHA National Championship last night with a 4-2 victory over #2 Lindenwood University. The championship put the finishing touches on a 38-0 season by the Fighting Illini. The season schedule, in its unblemished glory, can be seen here. It's the Illini's second title in four seasons, so it appears they are putting the "nasty" in "dynasty".

Yes, I know it's club hockey. Yes, I know they beat Lindenwood. You can shut your whore mouth any time. I'm off to the bar to get pissed! CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

LOUD NOISES!

Do you believe this? What an awesome night.

This was a tremendous way to cap off an interesting season of Cardinal baseball. It wasn't a great season until the calendar hit October. And for 25 days, we were the best. Who could have thunk it?

Un-freakin-believable!

Seeing all the fans going nuts, so awesome. I know "I Live For This" is a silly marketing phrase MLB came up with, but it is very true to all Cardinal fans. We buy the tickets, buy the gear, sit around and watch games against the Pirates in June...and talk about Cardinal baseball all year long. We live Cardinal baseball, even during football and hockey season. This is how life is for most people in St. Louis. And the feeling I have as I write this in the middle of the night--so worth it!

The victory party in the streets was strong; the best part is that people of all ages, backgrounds, ethnicity, etc, get together and were going nuts slapping each others' hands and screaming--just awesome. Such an awesome feeling, and we aren't even the ones playing on the field.

Much like yesterday, I really cannot put together a big article for this game either. My head is still swimming, legs are wobbly, and I can still hear a buzz in my eardrums. But it was so worth it. And staying up late to write about these games was worth it. Let's do it again next year.

Hope you liked this one grandpa ;-)
