The Captain could use some cheering up

Memphis - 78, UCLA - 63

Captain Awesome has been staring at the TV screen dumbfounded. His alma mater lost in the Final Four game today. So, uh, he's not taking it too well.

Any suggestions to cheer him up?

You could always get him drunk somewhere.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

This is true. Though he's had a few beers so far.

And he's basically not saying much more than 'This is not awesome.'

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Awww, that is so sad! Can you think of something that will make him laugh no matter what?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Nothing's coming to me. But you know...maybe it'll be one of those things that like the next day he'll be fine, you know?

It's just right now, he's still in shock.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

You could suck helium and make funny voices?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

And talk like a chipmunk. Hmm, maybe.

Ellie's hugging him and giving him the 'there's always next year' speech now.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Perhaps she will make him feel better. Pretty women usually make men feel better.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah...she has a few more options to cheer him up. That's for sure.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

And to distract him.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

That too.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Do you watch many games?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Me? Not too many, no. But I watched this one since it was important game and all.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Important? Because it was Awesome's school?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Well, I didn't watch all the UCLA games. But I watched this one cuz if they won, they'd play for the National Championship.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Oh. It is time for a championship? Baseball season has barely begun.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

For College Basketball, yeah.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Oh. Basketball is still not really popular at home.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

College Basketball is very popular here. They call the whole playoff thing 'March Madness' and stuff. I know it's April now, but a lot of the games were in March. Cuz there's 65 teams that start the tournament and only one winner.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Wow! That is a lot of teams.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah. But there's lotsa colleges here and even with that many teams getting in the tournament, not all of 'em make it.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Sugoi! I did not know there were that many teams.

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

I went to UCLA too...

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Aw. You musta been disappointed too.

There's always next year, right?

*thinks for a moment* Now I sound like Ellie. *laughs* That's exactly what she said to Awesome.

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

Well, med school at least. *sigh*

*cringe* I don't want to be Awesome.

...taken out of context that sounds completely wrong.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Taken outta context...it does kinda sound like you don't want to be awesome. I mean awesome as in, you know, not really great.
