There’s been a few lately. • Tiger Woods. Didn’t talk to the police, released a statement that clarified nothing and will sit out his own golf tournament. If you are going to mess around on your wife and flee at 2:30 a.m., make sure you don’t hit anything. And there’s something really funny about the fact that his wife, Elin Nordegren, used a golf club to help him get out. Explain why both back windows were busted? Tiger was getting the hell out of there. And yes...
It’s all over the place. You know the word — metrosexual. The first time I heard the term was listening to ESPN Radio recently, when a morning radio host (Mike Golic) accused his co-host (Mike Greenberg) of being one. “You use product in your hair and you exfoliate your skin before you moisturize... What the hell is exfoliate???,” Golic, a former NFL lineman, said to Greenberg. “Well, it’s when...,” Greenberg said, who was then interrupted by Golic’s laughter and derision. OK, I’m a dude. W...
Spam sucks, but sometimes you get something that is just mind-blowingly horrible and funny that you have to share. This came to a friend of mine this afternoon. Story Idea: Holiday Ice Breakers Debra Fine, author The Fine Art of Small Talk, provides her top-ten ice breakers everyone can use to turn holiday get-togethers into opportunities for sharing, caring, and warmth: 1. "What is your connection to the host/hostess or organization?" 2. "What do you enjoy the most about this time/...
Drove to Safeway for some groceries, found the place to be packed with a ton of people. I went to the refrigerated dairy section, looking for some cheese when I encounter a mother with three kids. The mother picks up the imitation cheese and puts it into her basket. "Mom, why can't we have this cheese? It tastes better," the oldest, possibly 10 years old, says. "No, we can't afford it," the mother replies. I grab my pepper jack cheese and move on to the soda isle when the mother and her brood c...
Some handy hints from my uncle. (Yes, it is an e-mail, but hey, we can all learn something new each day.) 1. Budweiser beer conditions the hair. 2. Pam cooking spray will dry finger nail polish. 3. Cool whip will condition your hair in 15 min. 4. Mayonnaise will KILL LICE, it will also condition your hair. 5. Elmer's Glue - paint on your face, allow it to dry, peel off and see the dead skin and blackheads if any. 6. Shiny Hair - use brewed Lipton Tea. 7. Sunburn - empty a large jar of Nestea in...
Random thoughts from an observer of all things and a participant in none. • There isn’t much good in popular music these days. I can sit and watch MTV, MTV2, VH1, Fuse, Saturday Night Live, and other music channels/shows and nothing grabs me in the boo-boo like Nirvana, Soundgarden, vintage Van Halen (before Sammy Hagar and whoever else Eddie has dragged in front of the mike), old Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sheryl Crow, BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, John Lee Hooker, Johnny Cash did when...
I'm a new home owner. I moved into my new home with my new wife just about two months ago. Although there was a time crunch in getting the house, there's very little wrong with it, especially since it is 104 years old. It is a little hard to keep warm on these cold days but we're working on it. Across the street from my front door is a two-car garage, which is old and in bad shape. The house that it is a part of, but not attached to, is a very nice old-style home with a very nice grandmother li...
