Friday, September 30th, 2005As I mentioned on Wednesday, Bill and I were invited to a focus group discussion for the Camden Riversharks baseball team. Our names were picked at random from a pool of season ticket holders, and we were to be at Campbell’s Field Wednesday night. When we arrived we were escorted to one of the executive [...]
Smartest Sports Blog . . . EVER!
Thursday, September 29th, 2005My regular readers (all three of you) know that my favorite football team is the Denver Broncos. I consider myself as one of their biggest East Coast fans, so when I am ignorant of something Broncos-related it really bothers me. (Being ignorant about everything else on Earth isn’t a problem.) And for years, I had [...]
Bless You, TNT!
Thursday, September 29th, 2005I would be posting something about our Riversharks focus group right about now, but instead, I’m watching Tombstone on TNT for the umpteenth time. Damn, I love this film!
Buy Me Some Peanuts & Cracker JACK!
Wednesday, September 28th, 2005Now that Battlestar Galactica’s season is over, I only have three go-to shows left to watch: The WB’s Smallville (whose season begins tomorrow night), and Fox’s Prison Break and 24. Unfortunately, the rocket scientists at Fox are pre-empting Prison Break (after next week’s ep) until after the baseball playoffs (eh, what?), and the new season [...]
Auto Focus
Wednesday, September 28th, 2005The Camden Riversharks regular season finished up on Sunday with a 7-4 win over the Somerset Patriots. It was the last game of the season ticket plan I share with my friend Bill. Camden missed the playoffs this year, but the organization always treats their season ticket faithful – even partial plan guys like me [...]
Stuart Smalley Needs A Loan
Tuesday, September 27th, 2005So, I’m listening to the O’Reilly Factor, and I overhear a story about the continuing financial woes of uber-talented (Sarcasm alert!) Al Franken’s Air America radio juggernaut. Allegedly, the powers-that-be are spending money a tad foolishly. For example, they spent millions on a brand new studio for Franken and friends, only to find out that [...]
Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy
Tuesday, September 27th, 2005Instapundit’s Glenn Reynolds is infamous for his blog endorsements. Everyone who is anyone has a site-specific quote from Glenn on their blog. The fact that SYLG does not is merely a co-inky-dink. I guess mine is in the mail. In the meantime, I plan to prostitute myself – for a moderate fee – to my [...]
“Great, Kid. Don’t Get Cocky!”
Monday, September 26th, 2005Where was Han Solo when I needed him? After two consecutive first place finishes in GOP and the City’s Weekend Caption Contest, I was brought back down to earth this week. I made the top five (more specifically, fourth), but my winning streak has come to an end. Oh well. I’ll get ‘em next week [...]
“Kitten” Billboard Update
Monday, September 26th, 2005Anyone remember the “Kitten” Billboard? That was the billboard in Lexington, Kentucky that featured WKQQ 100.1 on-air personality/hottie “Kitten.” As an incentive for the God-awful University of Kentucky football team, Kitten promised she would remove one article of clothing for every UK win. That was four weeks ago. To date the Wildcats are 1-3 after [...]
Paging Fatty McButterpants
Monday, September 26th, 2005Okay, let’s try this again. A few months ago, I embarked on a quest to defeat my greatest foe: a Star Jones-esque waistline. Not content to simply be fat, I have gone the extra mile to achieve Homer Simpson status. “All my life I’ve been an obese man inside a fat man’s body.” It was [...]
