I heard a couple stories that made me cringe. You know that cringe when you see a guy get hit right in the ‘nads? First, on Jimmy Kimmel last night, he talked about a Colombian man who castrated himself. He …

I hate when there’s a sports topic I want to cover in a blog. I envision non-sports fans just tuning out. But after listening to all the sports talk on the AM dial yesterday, I couldn’t resist. It started with …

I saw this story in the Union-Tribune a week ago. It was about brothers in Los Angeles that had a bees’ nest in their backyard. They decided the nest should be removed from their shed and that the best way …

I heard a movie star talking about a film he was in. He mentioned it was the first movie that got the PG 13 rating. I was surprised, because I remember when I was 13, the movie Dreamscape came out. …

My sister flew in from Northern California. I picked her up at the airport and we hit Tio Leo’s in Bay Park. It’s the first time in December they haven’t had the fountain in the lobby covered by a Christmas …

My friend Judy is a genius. She’s a retired attorney that does volunteer work for the ACLU. So…maybe not as much of a genius as I think. But… She gave me a gift for Christmas. And, I had seen these …

On MSN.com there was a story out of Texas that I loved. Prosecutors are going to charge a woman that has called 911 over 30 times in a six month period. All of those times were for non-emergency reasons (including …

My girlfriend kind of wanted to see Red Cliff during its two week run at the Ken Cinema. It didn’t look appealing to me. But a few of my movie buff friends were telling me how great it was, so …

Brittany Murphy died. I think she was in her early 30s. I never saw her in that movie where she was locked up and crazy. Although, great timing for Saturday Night Live to have a cast member do an impersonation …

A friend of mine emailed me a story about a woman in Boston that called 911. If I tell you that a car theft was involved, that wouldn’t sound so strange. But it was the video game “Grand Theft Auto” …

The Associated Press had a story on a Nazi death camp. What was strange was that it was about a sign at Auschwitz that had been stolen. The 16-foot sign said “Arbeit Macht Frei”…and really, who wouldn’t want those German …

I didn’t want to blog about Sarah Palin. She’s been talked about to death. But something happened the other day that was so utterly ridiculous. She was on a beach in Hawaii and photos were taken of her. She was …

My day started off so well. I got a call from my biggest rival in fantasy football. For 10 years we’ve been going back and forth about which of us has the worst luck. I seem to always have big …

There’s an episode of Seinfeld where Jerry and George debate the percentage of good looking women. George thinks a high percentage of the female population is attractive. Jerry thinks it’s low, and his proof is when he asks George “Have …

I’m excited about seeing my sister, who’s flying in from Northern California for the holidays. Since I live closest to the airport, the duty of picking her up falls on me. But the truth is, I don’t mind picking people …

I remember reading a book about Led Zeppelin as a teenager. There was an interesting meeting between the band and Elvis Presley. He asked for their autographs for his daughter. She was a fan. Drummer John Bonham complimented his diamond …

A few stories from the Associated Press caught my eye. One involves a woman killing her roommate. Nothing so unusual about that. I mean, someone eats your Swanson TV dinner, it’s on. This dispute apparently had to do with the …

I remember watching Family Ties in the 80s. The show started early in the decade, and ended its run before 1990. Having a dad that hated Reagan, I especially enjoyed the debates between the conservative son and his liberal father. …

I called 911 last night. But it’s not nearly as exciting as when Donna Jackson, the 57-year-old Oklahoma resident, called the other day. Some guy was breaking into her house. And on her 911 call, you can hear the pounding …

A few days ago I read a story in the paper about that chimp owner and how she wasn’t going to be charged in the attack that mauled her friend. The “friend” appeared on Oprah. I didn’t see it, but …

I was talking to a friend last week about gimmicky gifts that become popular around the holiday. I mentioned getting a Rubik’s Cube in my stocking as a teenager, when those were all the rage. My parents were impressed that …

Tonight I was watching The Biggest Loser finale. And I have to admit, I felt like the biggest loser. I was actually eating pasta, garlic bread, and a Dr. Pepper while watching the festivities. I told my girlfriend I was …

I almost missed my morning racquetball games, because the power went out. I'd wake up, glance at the digital clock, and see nothing. I ended up sleeping until 11, only to find out my guys were meeting at the court …

I just can’t get enough of the idiotic criminals. As I watching all the great football games today, I was reading some interesting stories in the Union-Tribune. There was a story out of Colorado, that involved a woman being caught …

People wonder why I don’t have sympathy for people that die in weird ways. And I always tell them…I have lots of sympathy for their family. It’s just hard to feel sad for someone that was an idiot. Every year …

A week ago, a high school counselor and musician died in a hospital waiting room of a Frankford hospital, after suffering pains in his arm and torso (they assume it was a heart attack). Three idiots that witnessed this decided …

A few observations from a day earlier this week. I went to LA Fitness for a basketball game. They have some kind of stair climbing machines they place right in front of the window. It’s sometimes distracting when attractive women …

I saw this story on the local news stations. A 69-year-od bank robber in the City Heights area, was arrested. He made a phony bomb threat. The retired mortgage broker, plead guilty to a felony robbery charge and misdemeanor charge …

About a month ago, I heard about a middle school in Florida that suspended a few kids. They were participating in something called “kick a Jew day”. I have to think, if there’s a day like that, Florida is where …
