commercials
i just realized that brut is the sponsor and we’re going to be getting terrible cheap aftershave commercials all day.
also, the el paso commercials seem to be trying to convince me that “real america” is mexico.
i believe!
wow that was a fiery speech.
no luck though, so not overly optimistic.
who are these announcers?
Happy Birthday Siv!
You’re on a boat.

I’m not as vehement as this guy, but I do agree with a core argument - that we’re wasting money and resources to the appearance of increased security in airports. Security seems arbitrary…those Dateline NBC type shows routinely show them sneaking things in, I’ve been denied certain things like lotion at some airports but allowed them at others, etc. Ironically, if...
Happy Holidays!

About the passengers on southwest.
We’re sitting at the gate in denver and we can’t take off because the plane is overweight…sigh…
seasons greetings from the denver airport...
Wow…I just realized that the song “I saw mommy kissing santa claus” is not a catchy song about adultery.
best story about my favorite holiday!

1908, Theodore Roosevelt
On June 14, Theodore Roosevelt was dining outside of Philadelphia, when he noticed a man wiping his nose with what he thought was the American Flag. In outrage, Roosevelt picked up a small wooden rod and began to whip the man for “defacing the symbol of America”. After about five or six strong whacks, he noticed that the man was not wiping his...

Hm. Well, that would REALLY suck for Cinci then.
Except let’s say Cinci gets to play for a NC this year, you think Brian Kelley leaves? Hell no. It would really suck for Boise though, what’s the difference between them and TCU? Not much.
TCU had better wins, and a pretty solid schedule. For Boise St, that’s less true.
And to answer your question,...

instead of the big 10 and pac 10 expanding, why don’t they just make a championship game between the two? put the game in pasadena, play it 2 weeks after the last conference game (bump up all conference games to earlier in the season).
then, you return to the old rose bowl with all its grand tradition and value, and get the benefits of having a championship game … in...

so like 20 minutes ago i was bitching to omar about oral roberts (the college basketball team, which beat stanford and missouri in literally the last second each time)…

Artest's Open Letter to Tiger →
“I thought you were 36 or 37 until I read the news today. A 33-year-old man who has been a model citizen with so much at stake. This is your first publicly known issue since you started your career, compared to my 50 or more publicly known issues and mistakes.”
I’m not really sure what point he’s making with the age, but there are a few gems in here…

Who wins this? I think given the list of finalists, the one that sticks out and makes the most sense (esp given Time’s recent trend of going with abstract picks - 4 of the past 7 years have been whistleblowers, the american soldier, good samaritans, and You) is the Chinese worker. 2nd and 3rd would be Jobs and Bernanke in some order, that’s at least my guess. Palin won’t be...

Toby = The Best Running Back in College Football.
Well done Toby, well done.
so colt’s most outstanding player (Camp), toby’s the most outstanding RB (doak), and somehow ingram’s going to win the heisman? that makes sense.
mcshay and kiper agree! →

Stanford University, where Heismans are awarded at the end of the season, not the beginning.
It’s unfortunate that Ingram will win, because Toby and Suh are clearly the best two candidates.

“We’ve got to get Coach Harbaugh under control, but it’s the other one, right?” Harbaugh joked before turning serious. “One time, I turned around when we were having the debate with the 2-minute time management situation out there that the officials handled a certain way. I look back and there’s Jim there screaming at an official. I was like, ‘You can’t be out here. Back up.’...
