The Blood Blog -- The Chargers Blood Drive
Prom at Sea World sounds kinda fun. Ours was at the Marriot in La Jolla, in a big ballroom. Which always made me wonder...why in teen movies are they always held in the school gymnasium?— November 26, 2009 2:11 a.m.
Taking a Stand by Refusing to Stand
How dare you! Shower was the best foreign film I saw in an entire five year period. And I see a lot of movies. But, all these posts about movies, made me decide to go that direction in the next blog. Chunk was supposed to be "junk". When I type fast, weird stuff comes off my finger tips. Sorry about that. But...it did make me wonder...is there a more appropriate name for a candy bar then "Chunky"? Pete, never had their apple pie. Or their hot dogs. But their pizza is great. And, at my fantasy football draft, this guy named Andy (one of the classiest dudes I know), brought cupcakes for everyone (his wife has a team name that incorporates "cupcake" in the title). Those things were huge! And they were delicious (in fact, they blow away any of the specialty cupcake places in town that I've hit...and rival any dessert I've had at Extraordinary Desserts).— November 26, 2009 2:09 a.m.
Resistance Is Futile
Yes, Shelton, that's him. I never saw his boxing movie with Woody Harrelson/Wesley Snipes/Lucy Liu, because it got bad reviews.— November 25, 2009 10:08 p.m.
BALDERDASH wars!!!
Oh, and knocking women for mobbing Elvis or Sir Paul...uh, okay. But that makes a lot more sense than Sports Illustrated having their biggest selling issue be the swimsuit edition. That's the craziest thing ever. Men can see prettier women in a catalog (not just a Victoria's Secret one, either). That issue is my least favorite, as it has so little about sports.— November 25, 2009 8:05 p.m.
BALDERDASH wars!!!
I agree entirely with MsGs post. And Scorp, here's the problem with your argument. I'm not saying men don't need to go to Best Buy to buy things that are necessities (although, tell me how a better cam-corder or plasma screen is a must-have). But..you are talking about BLACK FRIDAY, and lines at 4 a.m. And, from what I've seen, it's men waiting to get into Best Buy. If Home Depot was opening up at 5 a.m. on Friday, the dudes would be lined up there, too!— November 25, 2009 8:03 p.m.
Taking a Stand by Refusing to Stand
The kid was awesome. And, I bet the parents are the types that are saying "Just stand already!" I do think the kid should think about the consequences. I mean, the fact that he's getting media attention for a good cause, is great. But had he not gotten media attention...is it worth having all your classmates upset with you? And, I don't think he's going to be "big and strong". He looked rather meek in the video clip I caught.— November 25, 2009 7:54 p.m.
The Blood Blog -- The Chargers Blood Drive
Well...once I glanced in one of those things, and saw a few 20s and 10s, with LOTS of one dollar bills. But...it's not worth flailing around, to end up with a handful of dollar bills. And who doesn't love Sea World tickets? Especially when they're such a great gift to "re-gift".— November 25, 2009 7:52 p.m.

I agree with Occum. Sanders was great to watch. And the thing I love about it being Lions and Cowboys we always see on turkey day....I hate the Cowboys (aside from when I have their players in fantasy football, like I do this year with Romo), you get good football. With the Lions, I can use that time to actually spend the time talking with my family, eating some munchies, and just glancing at the screen, instead of being glued to it. (anyone remember the wonderful sports film by...can't think of his name..the guy that did Bull Durham). It's called BEST OF TIMES, with Kurt Russell and Robin Williams. Their wives were so mad they couldn't sit at a meal without watching Monday Night Football...and it's one of the greatest comedic scenes ever, when they try to sneak a peek at the tele.— November 25, 2009 7:50 p.m.

Best line of the last 25 posts: going to hell in a "hand" basket.— November 25, 2009 7:46 p.m.
The Blood Blog -- The Chargers Blood Drive
KGB FM did a blood drive like that. I think it may have been around Halloween one year, can't remember exactly. Nobody likes needles. But, it's painful for a few seconds, and you're donating for a good cause. They send you certificates all the time, after you pass the gallon mark. I think they think, that people like framing them to brag and show off.— November 25, 2009 4:48 p.m.
