Bag of Randomness

  • This is be the only post for the week.  I’m taking most of the week off from work and want to take a break from daily blogging as well.  My blogging batteries need to recharge.
  • The one thing I really appreciate about an ABC college football broadcast is the way they are able to incorporate the sounds of the game.  The do a great job of blending in the crowd noise, the band, and the occasional screams from the cheerleaders.
  • However, it still annoys me that the down and yardage to go doesn’t display right after a play.
  • Texas Tech sure didn’t look like a top five team on Saturday.
  • WOW.  McNabb got benched.
  • I just remembered that this year the annual Texas and Texas A&M football game will be played on Thanksgiving night, as opposed to the day after like the usually do.  So that means I get to watch my favorite pro football team and college football team play back to back for the first time ever.  But the truth is, I prefer the game to be played on Friday so I can spread my football watching out a bit.
  • Impressive: Florida State safety Myron Rolle earned a Rhodes Scholarship.  Link He actually had to miss part of Saturday’s game because of the scholarship interview, but was able to fly to the game and get on the field in the second quarter.
  • It seems weird that Joe Pa coaches from the press box.
  • When I see those Burger King commercials with someone dressed as the Burger King, I tend to think the person on the inside is a female just by looking at the legs.
  • With my mother gone and my sister now living in NYC, it’s up to me and WifeGeeding to cook our own turkey this year.  This should be fun, and I’ve already visited Butterball.com to do some preliminary research.  I found out you can even sign up for text messaging on their mobile site.
  • I absolutely love the bread at Outback Steakhouse.
  • Facial asymmetry.  Link
  • Einstein also had a messy desk.  Link
  • This is a really cool video about the California wildfires.  If anything, check out the 47 second mark just to see how close the fire was to the freeway. [Thanks, Warren!]
  • See cities in 360 degrees.  Link
  • Wordless interviews.  Link
  • Earth 31 million miles away, you even see the moon pass by.  YouTube
  • Pole Fitness (dancing) is taking over Utah and may become an Olympic sport.  YouTube
  • Stuff starts to slide everywhere on the rough seas when this cruise ship hits rough waters.  Video It’s a bit of a long video, but if you just watch the 1:47 and 5:21 mark you’ll see the chaos.
  • Bruce Lee plays ping pong with nunchucks?  YouTube
  • Great pranks between MIT and CalTech.  Link
  • The craziest dog and duck video you will ever see.  YouTube
  • This site provided an interesting analysis about this blog.  Just type “www.bagofnothing.com” and click Typealize.
