1/4 mark

We're one-fourth of the way through the season and the Pirates have a better record than the Yankees.

bird feeder

I wonder . . . when birds see a bird feeder, do they think "hmm, I wonder how this food got here?" or do they just think "FOOD!"?

lunch

Given my limited resources in the office, I had to be creative. This is what I came up with: the 5-layer PB&J sandwich. That's 6 pieces of bread, 3 layers of jelly, and 2 layers of peanut butter. It was delicious. I'm not sure I convinced anybody else of this, but I'm pretty sure it tasted better than my other idea (making the loaf of bread into one, giant, breadball) would have.

e-LAME eight

What kind of tournament is this? The eight teams left are seeded 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, and 3. Upsets are the main reason that the tourney is the best sporting event of the year. I'm officially declaring this the worst tournament I've ever witnessed, regardless of the fact that there are three rounds left.

Comments

On another note, I just noticed that people left comments about a couple previous posts. Who knew that somebody other than me read this?

Down With Comcast

I never intended to post out of anger, but this really ticks me off. I started moving into my house a week ago and, before doing so, contacted Comcast to have cable TV and internet installed. They said couldn't install, however, because the previous occupants had not had their cable TV uninstalled.

I waited a week and tried again. They have now informed me that they're coming to uninstall the cable December 1st. Great, I figured, they can install my cable at the same time and I'll be in business on Friday.

Ahh, but no, they cannot process an installation when an account is already active in a house. In other words, I cannot schedule an install until after they have uninstalled the previous cable (meaning next week at the earliest, which should make writing my term papers interesting). What, exactly, are they uninstalling? Beats me.

So here's my random thought: can one make a voodoo doll of a company?

College Football Puns

For some reason I seem to be obsessed with the way the BCS is playing out this year. This week I noticed the following things:

Rutgers played like they had Scarlet Fever
Cal got "Bearied" by USC
OSU gave Michigan a Buck Eye
Miami apparently approached the UVa game w/ a much too Cavalier attitude
VaTech "Deaced" out Wake . . . and then did the Hokie Pokie to celebrate

I apologize for any pain I may have caused

Have you caught Scarlet Fever?

That was the most amazing weekend of college football I have ever seen. I love how irate people get over this stuff, and this adds more fuel to the fire than one could have ever imagined being added. I've been arguing for a couple weeks that Rutgers was underrated. Despite this one guy who says that they won't break the Top 10 in the BCS poll, the numbers seem to say they'll be #7.

I'm a believer

I kept saying that Rutgers was underrated, but . . . wow.

This opens up two insane possibilities:

1. There are two undefeated BCS conference teams, but only one makes the title game

2. Auburn does not qualify for the SEC championship, but makes it to the BCS championship


You gotta sit back and laugh while the talking heads go nuts for the next month trying to sort this out

Pigs Flew

I got two e-mails this morning. One from the RNC and one from the DNC. I didn't bother reading either of them, but I noticed that they were both titled, simply, "Vote." They finally agreed on something!
