Is "The Blog" in Danger of becoming a "Tabloid" ?

Word on the street is that a Family Member is Engaged....Papparazzi to follow.........???

A Loss is a Loss..

the Gay Caballero seems to know a lot about tough positions... maybe Andy Reid should take heed... as one can see, Gay Caballero rarely misses "A Point"... read the comments below... AJ Feeley lost the game... didn't he? Why do people think he is the greatest QB sinced Manning just because he "almost" beat the Patriots. Didn't he throw an interception for a TD at the start of the game? Didn't he throw the interception (his 2nd not his 3rd) which cost us the game? If Donovan McNabb went up to New England, lost by three points and threw three interceptions, the town would be saying the Eagles lost because of Donovan's three interceptions. I can't stand 610 WIP and 90% of the idiots, nitwits, dopes, ignorant people in Philadelphia. Why do "Philly" fans act like they are "so tough?" Who the hell are we? Just because we can spit and yell at the Cowboys we think people are scared of us? It has been 24 years since a championship, 47 years since the Eagles have won the championship. Stick with McNabb! We have to hold on through this rough stretch. Elway went through it! He lost THREE Superbowls before he won his first! Bill Cowher coached 13 years before he won his Superbowl! It has been 372 days since McNabb tore his ACL, MCL, Medial and Lateral Meniscus. Don't know if any of you have ever had this, I have. Even though I could still blow past Paddy in a 40 yard dash, don't think I was ever 100% again. I was shocked McNabb was back at practice in July. Let him get healthy. You don't just throw away a QB who went to five probowls in 7 seasons, four NFC Championships, one superbowl and is the only QB in NFL history with more then thirty TDs and less then 10 INTs in a season. McNabb carried this offense for years with receivers such as James Thrash, Freddie Solomon, Todd Pinkston. Tell me who you would rather have at QB other then McNabb... Brady (yes), P. Manning (yes), Romo (talk to me when he wins a or one playoff game), Palmer (again, talk to me when he wins a or one playoff game), Vince Young (talk to me when he wins a or one playoff game)... Football coaches and franchise QBs do not lose it over night. Stay with them people, they still have some left in the tank.

Why we can't find Osama Bin Laden

Can't find the guy for years now. A zillion Rangers, Green Berets and SEALS in Afghanistan and we can't find him. I know why. The shaggy haired, goat smellin', sheet wearin' punk read MOH's book "How To Shake Your Husband While Shopping" . I was determined to keep my eye on her since "We're not gonna be long". Did pretty well for 5 to 6 minutes. In that space of time she felt, or more appropriately fondled and caressed, 38 different items; none of which she needed, used or had any intention of buying. She points to me indicating "I'm going down this aisle". The aisle is 12 feet long. I walk parallel to her in the next aisle. Get to the end and she is gone. Gone like a good idea. 15 minutes later my phone rings. "where are YOU?" Me? Where are YOU?? I'm where you ditched me, between the rice pasta and mincemeat Christmas balls. Where else would I be. This happens another 3 times. I got a glance from another guy 4 aisles away who just gave me the old, "me too buddy" look. My Christmas shopping is now officially over. Maybe if I dropped her in Kabul she'd find Osama in aisle 6 next to the goat bibs and taco sauce.

GO MIZZOU!!!

53-53-9 Overall... Beat those Yankees!!! Chase Daniel is built more like Joe Belino than Tom Brady...but he throws "darts"

We need a New Tree...the wife says "Buy one of These!" I say...

Are you Kidding ME?!? cheapest one I see is $400.00!!!
If we Buy one of these Trees will you come and visit our Tree every Year for the Next 10 Years (the WARRANTY LIMIT) and bring your own Food & Drink ?

NFL Rules/Ridiculousness

I went to The Eagles Game Today with my Son, Jason
  • Was at my first Tailgate
  • Hoagies, Hot totties, Miller Lite (???)
  • Rain/wind/41 degrees
  • We left at Half Time

Got home to my TV, made my own Hot Tottie, cozed in...

A Perfect Day! Saw the Birds in person...took a Tour of the Tailgate Lot...offered out Mr. Jesson...

And got Home in time to watch the Post Game shows...where we watch the announcers watch Other Games in Progress and comment on it, but because of certain Rules&REGULATIONS&Ridiculousness...we TV viewers can not see what they are watching/commenting on 'til 9 seconds after they commented on it & watched it!!!!

The NFL is starting to get on my Nerves...

But! I did Enjoy the Tailgate Thing!!!

My first day on vacation...and my bro's go-round...

I drove to Lancaster to visit T.J. ahemmm...it was a Fun Visit....Ahemmmm...he kept going "round n round"... This vertigo thing is Not Good...since he says nothing unless probed with a "cattle prod" I will report what he said "after" I probed him with my "prod".
  • This vertigo has afflicted him for about 5 weeks
  • He had an MRI (actually) he copped out of the 1st one after being sent "down the tube"
  • Succeeded in getting thru the TUBE on try #2 (as far as I know it is not yet on YouTube)
  • Was told that there is nothing wrong in the Brain or Skull (ahemmm)
  • Has visited a Chiropractor, where he found some relief
  • In My opinion...he needs More opinions about what this problem is About

Anyone know anyone that can add any insight into Vertigo problems ?

On a Scale from 1 to 10...How would you Rate you as a "communicator/listener/expresser" ?

How have Steroids affected your Life?

Posted by PicasaBarry Bonds indicted on perjury & obstruction of Justice!
I will now be Argumentative
  • is it illegal to use steroids that are not illegal?
  • If you use steroids does that mean you can hit a Baseball far?
  • Are all steroid users great Home Run Hitters?
  • Can the government lie to us, but We can't lie to them?
  • What does "obstruction of justice" encompass?

Post Game Comment of the Day! hollis thomas of the Saints

The Rams were 0-8 when they beat the Saints on Sunday,
A Reporter asked Hollis Thomas of the Saints... "Was this loss disappointing?"... Hollis' response..."Would a KICK in the balls to you Be Disappointing?"
  • Did you ever want to be a Reporter?
  • Would you want your Kid to be a Reporter?
  • If your Kid were a Reporter, would you Gasp if they asked a question like this?

Do you keep notes of what you Want to Do or Have to Do?

I have so many Copy Books with notes and thoughts and confessions and speculations
They would probably fill a good size Book Shelf.
A Helpful thing to do (i have found) is to have a copy book available
Where you can "write things down"
Things you may want to do, have to do, Need to Do, Thought you did, or, already DiD...
The copy book should have a solid spine Binding...so the Pages don't fall out.
just thought i would mention this Quirk...as a Public Service...
Does a Blackberry do this for you? I am truly, jusassin...

McKendry = Math Wizards!

I came across some of our old math tests in a recent attic search.

I watched the News today, oh Boy...The English Army had just won the War, although the News was rather sad...

I have not watched the "Evening News" since Walter Cronkite. I found myself "home alone" tonite and Tuned in...
Very Depressing! Everything they reported on had to do with all of us "going to Hell in a Hand Basket"! whatever that means?
The Final segment, I suppose, was meant to leave us with some Good Cheer...it was on a Salt & Pepper Shaker Museum in Brandon, Iowa!???!
Finally, to this day I do-not understand why CBS and NBC switched channels! CBS was always Channel 10...NBC was Channel 3...
Go figure...
and I'm not even 64 yet! when I am...."will you still Love Me?"

KEEPING FIT - Prevent pain in shoulder, upper back (AND???... A RESTAURANT REVIEW?)**

KEEPING FIT - Prevent pain in shoulder, upper back I was reading this article from The Patriot Ledger (a South Boston RAG) and came across this advice... BTW...the article that drew me to The Patriot Ledger Rag had to do with John Kerry saying..."next time I am Swiftboated I'll be ready..."! tee.hee.hee.....
**This "Patriot Ledger", the South Boston Rag, must be a living/breathing BODY! I Posted a column on Keeping Fit and it evolved into a Restaurant Review 2 days later! A Boston Restaurant called JNJ turo-turo (pick,pick) ?" Wonder if Michael & Margo have visited? Probably not! Maybe in twelve years...thanks Maggie!!!
PS...I will not Post anything "Boston" or "New England" in the Future!
