Bag of Randomness
- WifeGeeding only eats cereal out of a plastic cup, never a bowl. #rebel
- I don’t know what’s going on with A-Rod but I’ve been trying to ignore it as it’s of no interest to me.
- Everytime I hear or see a sentence end with “to me” I think of this scene in Aladdin.
- Bono said U2’s next single, “Invisible,” will be out in the coming weeks.
- One of my readers was nice enough to sort out and chart the website stats I posted yesterday.
- The word “obviously” is overused and when I hear it in an argument I tend to think I’m being talked down to or that they are trying to dumb things down for me. That came to mind when it was reported that Mike Tomlin used that word excessively at press conferences.
- It’s tradition for the outgoing Virginia governor to prank the incoming governor, so Bob McDonnell left a giant stuffed black bear for Terry McAuliffe in the bathroom of the governor’s mansion.
- A young Bement, Illinois farther died of colon cancer, his fellow farmers honored him in a touching way.
- Buzzfeed is entertaining and offers a lot of material but sometimes I just have to shake my head at what their writers are thinking or the false information they put out. Yesterday they made the post titled 17 Things You Should Know Before Going To Mars. They stated a trip to Mars would take 210 days and that no human has been in space that long, which is totally false because a cosmonaut once spent 437 days on the old Mir space station.
- I should have mentioned this yesterday, but Cam Newton’s touchdown pass to Steve Smith was one of the best I’ve ever seen. What impressed me wasn’t so much where the ball landed but how Newton didn’t put much air under the ball for that length of a pass.
- RGIII has taken a page out of the Sarah Palin playbook and vented on Facebook. Can you imagine if Romo pulled that stunt? Leaders just can’t be that sensitive to outside criticism. Hey, Peyton Manning had his struggles for many years never winning a playoff game or getting past the Pats and being compared to his father, but you have to ignore the outside distraction and focus on what you can control. Griffin needs to go back and look at his Heisman speech about pressure and diamonds and just put his head down and work.
- Speaking of the Redskins, they actually hired a new head coach and never informed and cancelled the interviews for the two San Francisco coordinators scheduled to vie for the job. You stay classy, Washington.

Straight out of the movies
In Denver the police shot a man that was using a female hostage as a human shield.
“After negotiating for about an hour the individual decided to come out holding a female hostage, at which time the officers told him he had to let the hostage go,” White said.
“He refused. He then tried to drag the female back in the store. Out of fear for the female’s safety one of our officers fired a shot, striking the individual.”
