Brian Kinchen, calling the NIU/Iowa game made something of an inappropriate reference yesterday… While I don’t think this is quite as bad as folks who use “gay” as a general derogatory term, it sort of smells of homophobia, and really probably has no place on a college football broadcast… but the awkward silence is hilarious.

I will very, very rarely say anything positive about the loonies over at the Democratic Underground, but today is one of those days. Generally, I think DU is a vile, self-serving, abomination of idiocy and mental incompetence… but you know what they say about blind squirrels. Apparently a few of their users allegedly made threats against [...]

Today’s Dilbert is pretty funny, I think: If you’re waiting for Part II of the fall break stories… stay tuned.

A little over a week ago I dragged Amanda down to Alabama for the Ole Miss game. It was fun. Kim was nice enough to let us sleep on her floor and nice enough to let me store my Bourbon in her freezer. We spent most of Friday on the road, which wasn’t so bad… it’s [...]

So… much like last year… Fall Break hasn’t been much of a break. That’s not to say that I wish it had happened any differently, but it’s been sort of… busy. And now I’m getting ready to go to Nashville for the weekend. Apparently there’s some school down there called “Vanderbuilt.” They call it that [...]

I’m not sure that I’ve seen a web-application that’s as cool as Scrapblog in a long time. If you don’t believe me, you should check out the video demo (Direct Link). Very neat stuff.

Miami has been the gold-standard when it comes to thuggery and general classlessness. I can’t say for certain when it started, but it clearly still goes on. Before you get all preachy… I’m not talking about the brawl. I’m talking about the TV commentator’s comments AFTER the brawl… fast forward to about 1:50 in: That guy? The [...]

This weekend Amanda and I went down to Tuscaloosa for the Alabama game. While I really wish we’d stop running the “Ken Darby 1.5-yard Run” play, we still managed to win. We also got tacky houndstooth hats, which I love. There will be more stories later, but for now, I leave you with this video. The [...]

I had my oral argument last night. No problem. Everyone did great. Today I leave for Tuscaloosa, so I don’t have a chance to respond to this AskPete email, however because there was so much discussion, I’m going to ask anyone who wants to join in the fun to answer this message. When I get [...]

So I’ve talked about Blingo quite a bit. Of course, that’s because I’ve won quite a bit. I won back in the middle of september and today I won today via my good friend Hilary. So let me point out some reasons you should be using blingo: It is exactly the same as Google. I know, [...]
