Trippin

I’m going to be taking about a week off to travel to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  If I take any decent pics, I might post some when I get back. For the time being, here’s a webcam of where I’ll be: You all behave while I’m gone!

Red Hot Indy 500?

I might actually enjoy this year’s Indy 500.  It has a twist I never dreamed of to say the very least.  Here’s a graphic illustration: This isn’t a cheerleader for one of the teams.  It’s actually Danica Patrick.  This what she’ll look like on Indy day: Hopefully the guys won’t feel compelled to do pinup pics. 

Sid Rosenberg

Controversial sportscaster Sid Rosenberg has been bounced from Don Imus’ wakeup show — for good this time — after joking about breast cancer. "She won’t look so pretty when she’s bald with one t–," Rosenberg said. What the hell possessed him to say THAT?  Did he think it was funny?  Was it enlightening to anyone?  He’s an idiot.  He doesn’t… (more…)

This is a catfish?

Early Sunday, Tim Pruitt caught a 124-pound blue catfish. To get a sense of just how big that is, the state record holder was a mere 85 pounds and the world record holder tipped the scales at 121 pounds, 8 ounces. Now, I live next to a very large lake.  We have all kinds of catfish here.  This thing is… (more…)

The Ramones

The biggest musical crime of the last 20 years has been the total re-write and write-off of rock pre-1990.  Nothing epitomizes this than the current grunge movement.  It’s sad.  In the glorification of Neil Young, much better and much more enjoyable bands have been totally forgotten and pretty much ignored.  What’s even sadder, they were the true “Godfathers of Grunge”.… (more…)

Film Review: The Longest Yard

I swear I can’t understand this penchant for remaking movies.  I really can’t.  And in this case, I have issues I doubt I can get over.  Here are some snippets from ABC: A surprisingly faithful remake of the well-regarded 1974 prison pigskin movie, "The Longest Yard"…. OK, for starters, why not just rent the original? First, however, you have to… (more…)

Moon the Muscle Man

Last night at the Junior Woman’s Club, I was presented with one of the 2004-2005 Muscle Man Awards. They recognized me for supporting my wife in her volunteer endeavors.  That was very cool and I was honored. However, putting me in any category that includes the word "muscle" is a stretch I never dreamed of.  Look at my arms.  I… (more…)

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Last night I went to see The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.  I linked the movie description to IMDB for a specific reason.  What you’ll find there, besides the usual credits and such, is a chat board where people are discussing the movie.  Their comments in total reflect how I felt about the movie.  The Hitchhiker series originated as a… (more…)

Baseball ala The Apprentice, Update

This is the MLB season from my "management ratings index".  So far, The Orioles are creaming everyone else.  The first column is my pre-season ranking.  The fourth column is the team payroll.  Fifth column is the current RPI.  And, the last column, used for my ranking purposes, is the current RPI times team payroll, or, management liability. Current RPI 18… (more…)

Donald Trump and the World Trade Tower

The Trump’s a nut.  I like that.  Add this to his recent shenanigans: Billionaire developer Donald Trump has officially thrown his support behind a plant to rebuild the Twin Towers at Ground Zero in practically the same form they were in prior to the September 11 attacks with a few safety modifications. Trump implored Governor George Pataki to discard the… (more…)
