Spam Sample (spample)

Here’s an actual spam that came through work: Sex is a play, and you must win! [there was a link here] The empires of the future are the empires of the mind. There is a good side to every situation. Never ascribe to an opponent motives meaner than your own. Men are born to succeed, …

Tuesday Morning Quarterback (Week Six)

Well I woke up to find my lowly Bears that I had cursed last week in first place. Thank you NFC North! I’m starting to wonder if it’s worse being a Bears fan or a Lions fan. The sad thing is, those are the top two teams in the NFC North. However, with the Lions, …

Attracting Comments

Now that I actually have the commenting functionality in place on the site, it’s interesting to see which posts attract the most comments. So far, my brief comment on sweater vests has gotten more comments then anything. That makes me laugh. But I suppose that if someone makes a more serious observation, you want your …

Cursing the Cubs?

I heard a great idea this morning. So that weird call in the White Sox/Angels game last night could have been something caused by the baseball Gods, but one radio announcer suggested that this is all part of the conspiracy against the Cubs. First, you had to have the Cubs choke in 2003 when they …

Sweater Vests

Why is it that girls can wear sweater vests and be hot, and I just look like a high-school substitute math teacher? (this is rhetorical by the way, I don’t really need an answer)

Tuesday Morning Quarterback (Week Five)

Dun-dun-duuuuun, dun-dun-duuuuuuun, dun-dun-dun dun-dun-dun dun-dun-dun (that was my typed rendition of taps) Well week five is done (done-done), and so is my soul. Okay, I’m being a little dramatic, however, there was very little good news this week. But let’s look at the good news first. Did anyone else get a giant kick out of …

Golfing

So I went golfing last week with a couple friends and I shot a 44. We played an early evening round, and by the last two holes, it was virtually completely dark out. On the last hole in fact, it was completely pitch black. We drove off the tee and immediately said “I have no …

She Seems Sweet

I went golfing a few weeks ago with my dad, his best friend, and a friend of his. We went to a course owned by another mutual friend. As we were about to tee off of the first tee, this very attractive 20-ish girl comes and sits down near the tee. The friend who was …

Hockey has begun!!

And the Hawks lost already (sulk). Oh well, it’s not like I’m not used to it or something. Senators won the first shootout in the regular season NHL history. That’s awesome. I’m looking forward to shootouts, they are just so darn fun. It’ll also be a nice surprise through the season when every other game …

Tuesday Morning Quarterback (Week Four)

Woops, I guess I’m a little late on this one. However, since the Bears had I bye week, I guess that’s my excuse. So now I don’t even remember what happened this past week. So quick thoughts. Wow, Chargers looked tough. Denver needs to stop winning already to fulfill my prediction. Actually, I don’t really …
