A Large Regular: William Shatner

Not a smoker but all these anti-vape pen commercials make me wonder if we should allow the tobacco companies, who are prohibited by law from airing TV commercials, to take the gloves off and air their own rebuttal commercials... Captain Kirk loves him some mountain... So at what point in your life do you go from saying that you're "having friends over" to saying you're "having company?' I'm thinking maybe after 5-years of marriage or maybe after a second kid... If this is a real product I'm willing to bet money it's made in China... Think I was part of the last generation for who getting the weekly TV guide in the Sunday paper or THE TV Guide was a vital part of planning your weekly TV viewing. May sound like an old foggy but growing up there was no "on demand" TV viewing or DVR's. There was also no "guide" button on the remote because neither one existed (on screen TV guide grids or remotes). The struggle was real... There are 17 major college football teams currently 4-0 on the season but only 15 of them are in the latest AP Top 25 poll. Neither undefeated Maryland nor Boston College are somehow deemed worthy of ranking. Makes me think David Burge' Marble Game is a much fairer method of ranking. Also starting to wonder if Georgia's opening week victory over Clemson should still be considered a "quality win"...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I really, really want to see someone in one of those flying squirrel suits go off the long jump ski ramp. You could go for like a mile if you were wearing one of these suits. I'm assuming there's some rule against that though... Every once and a while I see the phrase "the crack of doom". It's normally in some sort of Lord of the Rings type prose. However, every time I read that I can't help but think that would be an awesome name for a Madonna biography... Cool - from Twitter to TV. William Shatner to star in #$%@ My Dad Says... Interesting - per Rob Neyer - Mark Prior hasn't thrown a single professional pitch since his 26th birthday... Birth Control in the Victorian Age... It's really not coincidental that the phrases "trust me" and "f*ck you" have the same number of letters... Ben Affleck set to direct Yankee wife swap movie The Trade. I'd go to this movie - maybe with my wife and another couple even.... I think of jetBlue as a NY based airline yet according to them they are the official airline of the Red Sox... Cool - Super Velcro... My friend insists that Shaun White is the lovechild of the kid from Mask and Cher. Now that he's said that I can't get that out of my mind...
