CREEPY.
|
| We're
watching "The Wizard Of Oz" tonight. It is famous for being
the first--and most popular--movie to use the word "creepy" in
the dialogue.

|
SCHNICKELS.
|
REBUILDING.
|
|
"Makeover for Nickels Is First in 66 Years"
Whenever there's a news story that rhymes with "pickles,"
well, I'm all over it.
|
This
statement from an NHL official pretty much sums up my dismal life as a
sports fan:
"There are any number of times when a team's management has decided that the path they are following with the personnel they have accumulated is not the path they want to pursue any longer."
He's referring to a process known as "rebuilding,"
which is the dumping of high-priced (and often popular) players so that
the owner can save/not lose more money. For reference, see the 2004 Washington Capitals, the 1990/1993/2000 San Diego Padres, and the Los Angeles Clippers
(every year).

NAIVETÉ.
|
FOOTWEAR FINES.
|
Daily Cialis Email Wisdom: "Naiveté in grownups is often charming but when coupled with vanity it is indistinguishable from stupidity."
Wonderful stuff. Simply wonderful. |
Since I don't think I've ever quoted any Scripture on this site, I think
it's about time that I do:
"If a married man dies without children, his brother shall marry the
widow. If he refuses to marry his brother's widow or deliberately does
not give her children, he shall pay a fine of one shoe and be otherwise
punished in a manner to be determined by law."
In other words, if my brother Kevin dies, I must either marry
Yolanda or else pay a fine of one shoe. Huh. Let me get back to you on
that one.

|
GENESIS.
|
NEWSWORTHY.
|
| Oops.
I fergot to say where that little bit of Bible-ness came from: Gen. 38:6-10.
|
IMPORTANT
NEWS UPDATE: "The Washington Capitals claimed veteran winger Craig Johnson off waivers from Toronto Friday.
Johnson has split 49 games this season between Anaheim and Toronto, scoring two goals and three assists."
Um...who? And how many goals? Two? Two?

MOVIE REVIEW.
|
|
Fourth Song for Sheena's Wedding: "The Way You Look Tonight"
by Frank Sinatra. |
Glenn's
Movie Review: "Mystic River" is a good flick, but goes on a
little too long. Two scenes too many.
