Bodies in Trunks and Many White Horses
Silly me...I thought the trunk of a car was for the spare tire and jack. And the occasional suitcase when you're off to the airport. But in the paper lately, I'm reading about the amount of bodies in trunks. I …
Disneyland -- The Happiest Place on Earth
I went to Disneyland today. I was expecting the worst. It's a Saturday. Great weather, the place would be packed. I drive up and see parking is $12. Lame. But then, at a Charger game a few weeks ago, parking …
Using Guns....and O.J. Simpson
So many interesting things on the news today. Well, interesting to me. I was on the phone and heard there was a shark attack in Hawaii. The guy had a chunk taken out of his thigh. He was in the …
Guilty Until Proven Innocent -- The Stealing Art Edition
I remember the funny scene in The Freshman where Mathew Broderick goes to a girlfriends house. There are armed security guards. The family is obviously in the mob. And, he sees a Mona Lisa painting and comments that it looks …
Octogenarian -- No, it's not a Bond film.
Since I talked about an old lady from Oceanside the other day, I thought I'd go back to that theme. Herbert Woodward II (you can tell he's old from a name like that), and Wani Bielinski live in an elder-care …
Into The Desert
My mom never reads my blogs, but she was on the computer, logged on, and was disgusted by what she saw. It made me glad she never found my dirty magazine collection in college. But I digress. She called and …
Two Beatles Women -- Two Different Reactions
I logged onto the computer this morning, and they have these news stories pop up. One said that Heather Mills, the 5-year-exwife of Sir Paul McCartney, tried to sell a video of Paul that showed how abusive he was. The …
Music You Love to Hate
I love talking about bands with a music friend of mine that loves debating and discussing these things. Often times, we end up throwing trivia at each other, as our girlfriends look at us like we're insane. And they wonder …
Don't Try Suicide (You're Just Gonna Hate it)
So, a 20-year-old guy killed himself in Oceanside. And what happens? The parents go and do all this media, about how the police suicide negotiator, didn't do his job properly. Come on! Enough with all this crap. First, lots and …
Try-Outs and Playing Basketball With the Pros
A childhood friend of mine is now a professor. If you're at his house when Jeopardy! is on, you wonder how a person can know so much about such a variety of topics. He auditioned for the show, and ended …
Palin the Pain
It's so weird. I would've never guessed that, if you compared VP hopeful Palin and her kids names, with a guy named "Obama" and his kids names, that he'd win. He went with Malia and Sasha. She goes with: Track, …
Top 10 Overrated Movies
The other day on KGBs morning show, they did a list of the Top 10 most overrated movies of all-time. They got it from something called The List Universe. I searched it out and found their choices. I'll put them …
Fantasy Football - Rockport Running Rebels Rule!
So, I've been doing fantasy football for 20 years now. Each year, we have to try and get a few new teams into the league for people that dropped their teams the previous year. It's not necessary, because we don't …
Barbie vs. Bratz
It seems to happen so infrequently, that I enjoy when I read about a court case that I agree with. There was a recent one that awarded Mattel $100 million, because of copyright infringement type of things. I don't have …
Strike Three! You're Out! A 9-year-old pitching sensation.
I read this in the sports pages last week. And, a few of the sports talk shows have talked about it. A pitcher in the Youth Baseball League in New Haven, is told he can't pitch anymore. You know why? …
Drinking age to 18
Everyone keeps asking me what I think about the drinking age being lowered to 18. Okay, well, not everyone. Two different people. One of them said, "You go to parties, you see young kids drinking. What's your opinion?" I don't …
NBA Players Recent Tragedies
Having grown up playing basketball, I love watching NBA games. I remember as a kid, listening to adults at the basketball courts. They would complain about the NBA. They'd say the dunk ruined the game. When the 3-Point shot was …
Madonna McCain Hitler Controversy
So, Madonna has a concert the other day and during a song called "Get Stupid" she shows pictures of John McCain and photos of Hitler. Of course, Democrats won't get upset over this. When, in fact, everyone should be bothered …
Money (That's What Everyone Wants)
Wow...I don't think that title worked. I was going for a play on the song "Money (That's What I Want)". Oh well. I read in the paper last week, that in Rhode Island, the kin of the fire victims in …
Rich People and Money
I can't figure out why people resent the rich people of the world. Someone like John Travolta will buy a $20 million dollar plane, and my liberal friends will talk about how many homeless people he can feed. If the …
