Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

As a Red Sox fan it seems like it was last season that Hanley Ramirez was on the roster not just a couple months ago (Hanley played in 44 games this year before being waived)... Heh heh - love this...  Martyred by Raccoons would be a good name for a band (or a grisly way to die)... Should Zach Thomas be in the Hall of Fame? I always equated Thomas and Brian Urlacher as basically the same player. I'd say yes - Zach Thomas belongs in the Hall... Illegal immigrant rapes a child after being released by the City of Philadelphia because of their "sanctuary city" "status". Firmly believe that the elected officials responsible here should be sued by victims of crimes like these. Make them financially responsible for their actions... Things I'll never understand - people who are mean to their waiter or waitress and people who hate dogs (though I'm not equating the two things in any way)... Heh heh - now I want this painting...

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

The biggest unanswered question from John Podesta's email hack is whether or not he ever got that knock-off Viagra he was looking for... Cool - NASA announces two new asteroid missions... "The best time for a man to do Kegel exercises is while he urinates." - John Kerry...  Heh heh... Death Waltz would be a great name for a heavy metal Lawrence Welk cover band... This is quite a hiking accomplishment... Speaking of unanswered questions - is Brian Urlacher still rocking the suddenly found hair he had going on last January?... Tommy Heinsohn is the best... Speaking of band names - Vengeance Quakers would be a good name for a band... I still say that salad bars should be renamed "vegetable buffets"...  Cool... People forget that 2016 started with the death of the immortal Abe Vigoda. It is possible that so many celebrities died last year as revenge from the Angel of Death who was finally able to defeat the Great Vigoda...

Going to do one of those payday loans today and spend all the money on Powerball tickets! What? No I don't need a financial adviser! Why do you ask?... Heh heh... If you watch the movie To Kill a Mockingbird backwards - it is the story of a black man brought back from the dead to break up some furniture (not sure it this was original to me)... Stephen Tobolowski tells the best stories... Speaking of movies - still amazed that role in Airplane! that went to Leslie Nielsen was originally offered to Christopher Lee... This is a pretty handy tool... Salad bars really should be re-named "vegetable buffets"... The ultimate US road trip... Has anyone made the "I'm skinny legs Peyton Manning and I have cable" and "I'm jacked up on HGH Peyton Manning and I have DirecTV" joke yet?... Interesting... Now that Brian Urlacher has all that hair - if he really grows it out would the Vikings offer him the job of Ragnar?... Best explanation of high school football I've read... I don't care how good the show Making a Murderer might be - I'm not going to invest 10-hours of my time in something that will just make me angry... Navy ship to be named after Medal of Honor winner Hershel "Woody" Williams...

Not for nothing but I'm surprised that the Penn State students didn't go to Jerry Sandusky's house if they wanted to have a proper riot... 80% of U.S. millionaires are the 1st generation of their family to be rich. They earned it. They are the real 1%... Jim Cramer turned into a big bag of quivering mush when brow-beat by Jon Stewart on the Daily Show but now sees fit to yell questions at Republican candidates? Absolutely no respect for Jim Cramer - he's a clown... Very cool view of the Northern Lights over Norway... Mitt Romney's "away game" line last night was great but was that him saying he plays for the other team? NTTAWWT - was he making a play for Log Cabin Republicans? (Just kidding)... One thing the NCAA can do is give Penn State football players blanket waivers to transfer to any school without sitting out a year. Players are perhaps only innocents here... Wow - just wow!... I would like to see Donny Osmond sing the Trololo song. I think that would be comedy gold... Still amazing to me that Brian Urlacher was a safety in college... He's a question (not really a serious question) but Bill Clinton contends that oral sex does not count as sex and if that is so - how can Herman Cain asking for oral sex (allegedly) be sexual harassment?
