Thoughts on the news of Tom Brookshier's death...

What a good football player and announcer. Only thing I hold against him is that he gave us Angelo Cataldi. I read the Inquire reporting his death at 78 and did not realize he still lived in the area, West Conshohocken. Other stuff...
  • did not know he missed two years of NFL cause of ROTC commitment
  • did not know he had 8 Interceptions in 12 games as a Rookie
  • Comments from other Old Timers but no comment from Chuck. Look forward to hearing from him.
  • I do remember him breaking his leg in '61, I was 15.
  • Finally, they say his #40 is Retired by the Eagles. I did not know that.
Brookie was good at what he did.

What the heck are these things ? Do they annoy you like twitterers?

These Things Really Annoy Me...

I need to rant for a minute or two… There are a few things I can’t stand in this world. I’ve often wondered “Am I the only one who is annoyed by this?” So, I’ve listed five of them. For some examples, The Pea and I went out and snapped some action pictures. If one of these rants describes you? Ooops! Nothing personal… Rant on yourself!

Other then this post, what annoys you?

People who talk on the cell phone while at the gym: I can’t stand this! Are you that important that you need to be available at all times during the day? Sometimes I even see people talking on their cell phone while running on the treadmill? News Flash: You’re not that important! Get off the cell phone!



People who talk on a handheld cell phone while driving: I admit, I used to do this a few years ago. I thought this was normal. Then one day I was driving and I hung up. I realized I had no memory of the past five minutes. I guarantee you this, the next time you are behind a really slow driver who seems to be out of it, pass them and look to see if they are talking on the cell phone. I’d say it’s the case about 75% of the time. Thank god PA is making it a law to ban using a hand held cell phone while driving.



People who run in place while waiting for the stop light to turn green: I can’t stand this! This one really annoys me. No, you’re not Kid Casino, stop hopping up and down. Now, if they were using the curb to stretch, that’s another thing. Stretching is good.



Facebook/Twitter updates and the entire “Whoa is me…” attitude: This is a relatively new one and the older generation may not know what I am talking about. Why does a “Facebook/Twitter” user feel the need to update everyone on everything they are doing? 99% of everyone updating their Facebook status is complaining about something. And no, I don’t care that you are doing laundry or you have a sore throat. Get over yourself and deal with it.



People who don’t move out of the way while walking on the sidewalk: This one has annoyed me for a while. Get the hell out of the way! I always make room. I don’t know if people are looking for a fight or what. Test this out. The next time you are walking on a sidewalk, see how many people move to the side.

How to Raise a Hoodlum

As a school security person I have the wonderful opportunity to watch the development of young minds. All kinds of minds. Smart minds, not so smart minds and my favorite; demented young minds. The early stages of hoodlumism are first displayed in Junior High. Young nubile youths are exploring the limits of their tiny brains. The Hoodlum brain shuts down learning once they learn cuss words. People with exotic contrived first names seem to master many more cuss words than children with less exotic, more traditional first names. If your first name ends with an "isha", "ante" or "ny" chances are your way ahead of the class on hooliganism. Ooops, to be continued, Quanisha-Asia is acting up im room 239!

PBS, One of my Liberal Brothers' & Music

For years now, I have been telling The Cooker to listen to some Talk Radio, he just nods his head and sorta snorts. He tells me I need to watch more PBS. I tell him, every time I tune in they are having a Fund Raiser! and tonight's PP& Mary production was no different. PBS shows the good shows when they want to raise moola, anyway...
  • Tonight was different, I tuned in & they had Peter Paul & Mary in current time, singing their stuff. Some Old, some New.
I enjoyed it. Cooker sometimes gets frustrated & thinks he is getting too old for this Music Stuff, I say Rock On Cooker!
  • P.S. He still does not listen to Talk Radio

Let's Cut to the Chase...

The Jets will beat the Colts on Sunday & the Vikings will beat the Saints...
  • The Super Bowl will be Vikings vs Jets and...
The Jets will win the Super Bowl !
