Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

The New England Patriots are now winless since Donald trump was elected President... Amazing photo of the "Super Moon" over the Saint Louis arch... Is there a stat for Ben Roethlisberger getting hurt when Steelers are losing vs when they are ahead? Just saying... New TV show idea - Scott Baio is an LA real estate agent selling homes of Hollywood stars who are moving to Canada because Trump was elected President... Cool - Bruce Springsteen rescued from roadside by NJ bikers... Still surprised that Zima was never actually the Official drink of the US Men's Figure Skating Team... Damn it! The Twitter handle "ThanksTrump" is already taken... This is true... Just saying but Al Gore was born 9 months after aliens supposedly landed at Roswell, NM. Coincidence or something else?... "A man is what he wills himself to be." - Jean-Paul Sartre... I would be curious to see which number is larger - the number of Liberal Arts Colleges that cancelled classes because Donald Trump was elected President and the snowflakes had trouble dealing with that or the number of Liberal Arts Colleges that had no school on Veterans Day to honor those who served in the military...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

The David Ortiz controversy with the official scorer at Fenway Park reminded me of the story of when Jim Rice was the team's hitting coach and he called the scorer to get an error changed to a hit for one of the guys. The scorer changed it immediately and Rice asked him if he wanted to know Rice's argument for the change. The scorer said no because when Rice was playing he never once complained about the scorer's decisions and if he thought enough to call about this one then Rice must be right... Cool - Joe DiMaggio once had to wear a Red Sox road uniform when his Yankees road uniform showed up late at Fenway Park... Idea for a movie - Zombie Inventory Takers. The undead converge on a popular mall to take inventory... I would love to see these changes made to the IRS... I'm not ashamed to say that I miss Zima. Especially Orange Zima. I'm comfortable enough in my manhood to admit this... Vegetarian Water. Seriously...  If there were a DVD of just the David Letterman Top 10 Lists over the years - I'd buy that DVD in a heartbeat... Holy crap - the ferocious bug that that sucks prey dry and wears their corpses...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Is it me or do all the "Stephen Drew will add depth to the Red Sox" stories you are seeing smack of desperation leaking by Scott Boras. It's like Stephen Drew is slowly morphing into Richard Gere in An Officer and a Gentleman, "I got no where else to go!" I liked Stephen Drew last year but I hope that ship has sailed... Nice article on poker Godfather Doyle Brunson... Would Dolph Lundgren have been a star if he went by Adolph Lundgren instead?... This is me when I drank Zima... When Barack Obama took office there were 37.9 million Americans living in poverty. Today there is 47.1 million - yet you won't see any stories about homelessness until a Republican is once again in the White House... Heh heh - Far Side comics in real life... If Bill Belichick played Ode to Joy on the accordion at his next press conference it would break the Internet... This week I vow to use the phrase, "Good day my jumentous fellow" and smile when saying it. Jumentous means "smelling like horse urine" but if you smile people will take it as a compliment...
