THE KUBE IS BACK LIKE A BAD KOLD!

The KUBE Kommeth. It is that time of year boys and girls. Empty the kids piggy banks. Steal from the kollection plates (sure it’s Lent but lets not quibble), steal from your clients trust accounts (lawyers), steal from your clients 401(k)’s (financial planners), knock over a 7-11, file a false wormans compensation claim, steal checks out of the neighbors mailbox, give blood...(for money)... you get the idea. Kukla is getting the web site set up and it will be ready for the brackets...TRUST US. www.kubeklassik.com. if you go the site right now you will see a homage to last years winner, the guy who has made us all winners...Henry Warshaw!

This could very well be the final year that The Donald and I handle the KUBE. That is right, it is time for us to pass it on to our children. Both Don and I have sons... graduated from college, not very bright or creative, sort of lazy... in short perfect for the rigors of keeping up a grand, glorious and idiotic tradition of bringing a community of pathological gamblers, and faux college basketball fans so that they can worship in the church of ESPN and CBS and fill out brackets and generally ignore their Lenten pledges.

For that really is what the KUBE is about. A gathering of the faithful as we hunker down and celebrate surviving another February and the promise of spring and...forgetting our Lenten vows. Especially if you swore of gambling. Don and I traditionally give up Karaoke, nuclear particle physics, swing dancing and saki. But sometimes we forget about the saki. I mean... we do this every year... we are only human.... at least i am only human. I cannot speak for THE DONALD.

What can we count on this year. A gaggle of Moneta people. Kukla relatives from all over the country, many of whom are not named Kukla, the Omaha contingent, Todd King in Afghanistan (making us fully international), several brain damaged Beckers, friends and former classmates and some people related to people who Greg at one time or another held back their hair while the puked in Vegas bathrooms... the Blue Horseshoe and part of his criminal client base...you get the idea.

So it is that time of year. We need you all to get all of your friends. Play multiple times. The more money you invest in the KUBE the happier your life will be. I have no idea what the prize stucture is. I assume we are keeping it at 10 bucks a pop. I WANT 200 players. I want it to be dirty and ugly with kompetetion. Portions of your proceeds will NOT go to charity.
