Bag of Randomness

  • My only memories of Merlin Olson is that of an FTD spokesman.
  • Two things The Marriage Ref needs to get rid of – Marv Albert and anyone doing the fact checking on a laptop.  Unless that person is Natalie Portman.  At least they got rid of that stupid baseball intro.
  • I think last night was the first time I saw Madonna not appear nervous on televison.
  • Yesterday’s Survivor didn’t really do much for me, but it was to see 30 Rock back.
  • WifeGeeding’s school had an open house last night.  When I was a kid, our open houses were always at the beginning of the school year.
  • I wonder if school open houses are a regional thing.
  • I surprised my wife with a Nook the other day.  Sometimes it’s just fun to surprise people with gifts, and you don’t have to wait for a holiday or special event to do so.
  • There’s a guy at work that has a political screen saver at work, and stuff like that annoys me.  I just don’t think politics should be brought into the workplace.
  • Conan O’Brien is coming to Dallas, and I’ve got me two tickets.
  • My door had a really bad rattle in for the past couple of weeks, so for the heck of it I Googled “remove door panel nissan altima“.  And there sat a YouTube video that showed me how to remove the door panel step by step.  In less than ten minutes the rattle was gone.
  • It’s about that time to start on yard work.
  • John Mayer was in town the other night, I didn’t think he was a big enough artist to sell out the American Airlines Center.
  • This week I made the decision to give up watch the Fox4 morning news because that new anchor is just awkward to watch.
  • I think Hot Tub Time Machine is this decade’s Dude Where’s My Car.
  • The news reported that a woman turned 105 years old yesterday.  That means she was born during the Roosevelt administration – Teddy Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States.  To help put that in perspective, Obama is the 44th POTUS.
  • Sony attempts to challenge the Wii
  • Heartwarming story – stray dogs appear on stamps
  • Claudia Schiffer isn’t showing much of a bump at seven weeks into her pregnancy.
  • Mike Leach interprets “luke warm”
  • For the fans of LEGOs and the movie Up
  • Hitler without a mustache
  • For the fans of Mystery Science Theater and Haikus
  • A collection of funny church signs
  • Influential Beards Throughout History

    I had 2 1/2 hours to kill at a conference today. My Nook came to the rescue! Love it. I'd offer to share books with your wife, but my library might border on boring and disturbing…

    Hitler looks half-way normal without a mustache! But the picture is photo-shopped, so he was never actually half-way normal.

    Your link reminded me how much I miss “Mystery Science Theater 3000”. It was a great concept, but I don’t think it will ever be back. Following the careers of the actors from the show, it appears that most of them have done little or nothing since the show was cancelled.

    I was really surprised at Leach’s rant against players on the “God Squad”. He seemed to be saying that if they prayed on the field they could not devote their full attention to football and, therefore, it had to be one or the other [or else].

    Merlin Olson was the antithesis of the modern NFL player.

    I have not watched the “Marriage Ref”. In the commercials for the new show, aired during the Olympics, the comedian panelists were laughing waaay too hard at their own jokes. I didn’t see anything particularly clever in the promos.

    If Hitler was walking around today without his signature mustache I wonder how many people would recognize him

    When you said "Merlin Olsen," for some reason I saw Marlin Perkins' face. How could someone NOT remember Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom? I thought. Then I realized I had the wrong face.
