SI.com does a great job of citing competitors articles/reports as if it’s almost an endorsement. ESPN.com does a great job of citing ESPN.
On the ‘Big Bang Theory’ Penny works at the Cheesecake Factory but her uniform and the restaurant look nothing like the Cheesecake Factory.
Bob Villa stated that the best project for a beginner is putting shelving in a closest, so if you mess up, no one will really know and there’s a lot of skills involved such as measuring, cutting, painting, nailing, etc.
I have a feeling this photo of four rulers of England will become iconic.
I get annoyed when politicians on both sides say “The American people want . . .” A lot of times I, as an American, disagree with what they say Americans want. Come on, stop painting with such a wide brush. But I don’t get annoyed when I hear people say, “We want our country back” because I’ve heard both sides use that phrase and to me, it’s just a way of encouraging like-minded people to vote.
If you wonder what I do for a living, it’s my responsibility to make sure websites and applications assigned to me don’t become an embarrassment like healthcare.gov. The one I’m working on presently generates $2.8 billion.
The Marines are considering a new kind of unisex hat. All the conservative websites state it’s Obama’s idea but the mainstream media doesn’t state the idea came straight from the Commander in Chief. Stars and Stripes addresses the rumor, but I suppose some folks think Obama ordered that article to be written as a cover-up.
It’s funny seeing other nations, our allies, act surprised as if we they didn’t already know that we’ve been spying on them, and it’s not as if they haven’t been spying on us. I mean, we’ve all seen the James Bond and Jason Bourne movies. Huh, that’s the first time I put together both of those characters have the initials JB. Oh, and we’ve all seen the Jack Ryan movies as well. Speaking of Jack Ryan, I had no idea the character is making a comeback this January with Chris Pine.
Growing up in San Antonio is tough – A South Texas woman has been accused of ripping her 6-year-old son’s genitals during a rage and trying to repair the wound with glue.
I got a scam phone call from the Dominican Republic at the ungodly hour of 4:00 AM.
I use to fear the late night phone call. My dad had a heart attack three days before my high school graduation and ever late night call in college made me take a deep breath before answering it. Of course, those were the days before caller ID.
About once a month WifeGeeding reminds me that her father said he will get any of his children out of jail once, after that, they are on their own. She said she’s been saving her’s up for a good one. I’m left to wonder if she can trade these ‘get out of jail’ chances with her siblings.
As someone who has never been to boot camp or basic training but is fascinated by it, I found this (pdf) How to Hack Basic paper pretty interesting.
Jay Carney sure has held the position of White House Press Secretary for two years and eight months. That’s a long time for that position, and as poor as he is at it, I’m surprised he’s lasted this long.
College basketball coach surprises walk-on with a full scholarship in front of his team – YouTube
This article about LeBron’s ability to play football is pretty interesting as it cites the views of three different NFL scouts and even though there’s video of LeBron just playing flag football, it really makes you wonder how good he could be on the football field. For comparison sake: Dez Bryant is 6′ 2″ and 222 lbs, Jason Witten is 6′ 6″ and 261 lbs, LeBron is 6′ 8″ and 250 lbs. Somewhat related, I always wondered what position Shaq would best at in football.
Hearing someone say “I have a quick question” annoys me. There’s no need to clarify or think that I’m being inconvenienced, just ask me the question.
I watched this weeks’ ‘Person of Interest’ and thought it was one of the best of the series.
This blog has allowed me to develop friendships from afar, and one of them happens to be a radio personality in Kansas City who was nice enough to mention my name and blog on the air.
