- On channel 11 at 4pm, there’s this show called ‘Kare OnLive’ It’s like a weird variety show with Diana Pierce and Pat Evans. It’s cool because it’s an interactive show, with viewers adding to the program by chatting online. Today, they asked one of my questions. It was so cool! My roomate requested that they shout out to our Troy who is in the hospital, and they did! It was much appreciated. (The well wishes for Troy aren’t online, but you can see the lame question from Mike H by clicking here, and watching the ‘your family disaster plan’ segment and skipping ahead to 3:20.)
- With Halloween right around the corner, it might be time to start thinking about costumes. Here are a few ideas:
Princess Leia
Hank Aaron
Luke Skywalker
Babe Ruth
Darth Vader
Hamburglar
- Another thought: I might have to dress up in a costume three separate nights for halloween this year. That doesn’t sound fun at all.
- Is there a rule that says the kicker has to run up to kick off the ball during a football game? I feel like if the kicker could just stand behind the ball and flick it with his foot and ankle, it could produce a better ratio for recovered onside kicks. Think about it.
- When time is running down, and a team is out of time-outs, they often ‘spike’ the football to stop the clock. Why isn’t this intentional grounding? Because he’s inside the tackle box? That doesn’t make sense at all.
- Are the Feds and NASA doing what’s best for all by withholding the results of an airline safety study? They commission a 4-year project, but then shut it down because they don’t like the results? This should especially strike a chord with Minnesotans, as we have seen one disastrous result of the spending vs. public safety fight.
- There are a lot of things that make me sick during the FOX broadcast of the World Series. One thing is the fake fans holding up computer generated advertisements.
- oh my gosh did you see the Gophers get beat by NDSU? Well you heard about it right? I owe CC $15 bucks, remind me to pay him for that ticket. That game was so stupid, and there were so many NDSU fans there. I think the Gophers are cursed. We should pull a University of Chicago Maroons and withdraw from the Big Ten.
- This train was parked behind my house the other day. It’s the most badass train I’ve ever seen. It’s home is right near our house in Nordeast. Imagine our surprise when we saw this thing heating up on our way home from the bar one night. And how surprised the conductor was when I started asking him drunken questions over the roar.
- I wonder if Slug or any of the rhymesayers crew root for the Twins or anyone. Cuz they should. I’ll bet Brother Ali likes them.
- Joke of the Day: On the first day of college, the Dean addressed the students:
“The female dormitory is out-of-bounds for all male students, and the male dormitory to the female students. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time. The second time you will be fined $60. A third time will cost you a fine of $180. Are there any questions?”
A male student inquired, “How much for a season pass?”
