“She said ‘Good night’ and walked away
And I didn’t know what to say
I just couldn’t believe it”
--The
White Stripes
Now that it is all over my notes for the finale seem
pretty unnecessary, besides when you get right down to it what is there left to
say that I haven’t already said? So I'm just tossing those suckers out and instead
let’s start with the Final Standings for season 3 of the TSAVFL:

Congratulations to Hummingbird Lightfoot for a solid win,
that’s two out of three years! Debbie
Eaglesong made it close at the end with her third straight year of picking the
actual winner, now if she can manage to get some other people into the top 10
WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN! Sizzle
& Fizzle stayed pretty hot as it turns out, grabbing third spot. I feel very good about the tight three team
group in the middle and expectations will be rising for them next season. It is worth noting that all four of the
finalists received at least 21 points, meaning that any one of the four
outscored my and Tim’s entire teams. Next
year! I also am determined to not have
such a stupid team name next time.
We will present the TSAVFL trophy to Jim soon and post
pictures of the ceremony.
Really you guys, I don’t have much other than that. I may have a love-hate relationship with the
show itself but it’s nothing but hearts, rainbows and magic unicorns for y’all
and as ever I’ve enjoyed all your comments and discussions, but MAN am I
looking forward to not writing anything for awhile. Hope you had some fun and that we can do it
all again later this fall.
We knew he was going to win, but did any of us guess the song written for him by Ray LaMontagne would be an Ode to Cunnilingus?
ReplyDeleteI'm not the only one that thinks that is what the song is about, right?
Well, I did not get that, but I am listening right now... Was it because of the 'down on my knees' line? As far as odes go there could be far less worthy subjects. But now I will not be able to think of anything else when I listen, because yes, I downloaded the song from itunes. Thanks Jim... (This is comment is brought to you by Debbie, not Pat)
ReplyDeleteI signed back in as myself to publicly congratulate Jim on his second win in TSAVFL. A fine competitor.
ReplyDeleteLadies and Gentlemen, your TSAVFL Champion!
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying that is exactly what the song is about. I just saying that is what Ray LaMontagne says it's about. I got a made-up quote from his website.
ReplyDelete"I thought it was appropriate [for Sawyer] because its about a young man being asked by his more experienced lover to do the things she likes. He has the desire, but he's nervous. I compare singing for an audience to cunnilingus. It's something you want to do, and do well, but if you muck it up, you get kicked out of bed, out of the house, or in this case off [The Voice]. America is Sawyer's more experienced lover. He better do what she says."
You have such a vivid imagination. I'm now convinced that it is that imagination which propels you to victory. Back in March, I'll bet you just read a few made-up future TSAVFL posts that Pat "wrote" and that's how you knew who to pick for your team. Brilliant.
DeleteOn behalf of the blog I just want to preemptively apologize to Langdon's folks for any questions they might receive.
ReplyDeleteDoh. Thanks, Pat. I apologize as well. That was probably not cool.
DeleteIt was hilarious. I don't read the song that way but it tickles the hell out of me that you do.
ReplyDeleteAnd I CAN'T WAIT to see what you think about the trophy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Jim! You are our Blake. Which means you need to drink more and buy more flannel. That is your punishment. : )
ReplyDeleteGood season, everyone! It is crazy and awesome that we all participate in this absurd endeavor, and I treasure it and you!
I would love to be our Blake. I fear, though, Pat is our Blake. Charming and kind of paternal.
ReplyDeleteI’m unfortunately our Adam. Smirky and kind of distracted most of the time.
I had fun again. This is such a weird thing, but so enjoyable. I’ll keep the adult talk to a minimum in the future.
Oh and in case you were wondering, Tim is probably Pharrel. While his correspondence has been spare, I am going say he is super laid-back and speaks mostly in koans.
ReplyDeleteEd is kind of a cross between Usher’s analytical mind and CeeLo’s inappropriate lasciviousness.
Gina, Gina, Deb and Erin will have to decide amongst themselves who is X-tina, Shakira, and Gwen. I’m not so foolish as to assume I know anything about anything to do with anything to do with that. Odd woman out has to be Christina Milian from season 2’s Sprint Social Media Correspondent days.
Langdon will obviously be Carson Daly. Such control, such subtlety.
"Ed is kind of a cross between Usher’s analytical mind and CeeLo’s inappropriate lasciviousness."
DeleteI'm pretty sure my body is a cross between these two gentlemen, as well.
I just love picturing Langdon as Carson. You know her so well.
DeleteCan I be Reba?
