One summer, a few of my friends from college lived in Myrtle Beach. They worked all day laying sod at a golf course. Over the weeks, the novelty of living together wore off, and they started to get on each other’s nerves. Anyway, they usually went to Hardee’s for lunch each day. Because of their […]
I feel like I really missed a golden opportunity. I have visited Vegas twice in the past 18 months, but didn’t get a chance either time to visit the Hooters Hotel and Casino. Now, I find out, the theme is going bye-bye. I still might get a chance because the transition to a boutique hotel […]
Have you ever looked at the television, trying your hardest to look away, but unable to? That’s the feeling I got while watching CMT’s “My Big Redneck Wedding” the other night. I had seen the show in the listings before, but Maria’s stepfather recommended it for a good laugh. Wow, did the 90 minutes we […]
Today is a wonderful day. A casino will open within an hour or so of my house. I don’t plan on going there anytime soon, and the facility only offers slots, but I still think we should all celebrate. Pennsylvania passed its slots law a while back and turned down the application from a Gettysburg […]
Governments like to waste time on stupid things. I guess it makes them feel important. I usually don’t care about it, but when try to do something silly and someone drags it out even further, I can’t help but shake my head. Especially when it’s those jackasses from PETA. The group that hates our grilling […]
If you get hurt, I hope you get an occupational therapist like Kelly Colwell. Certified occupational therapy assistant Kelly Colwell first noted the healing potential of Guitar Hero while working with a patient who had injured his elbow and lost range of motion in his arm. Is that bad ass or what? Playing the game […]
Right now, I’m ashamed to be an American man. As the political process gains steam, we have abdicated our duty. Fred Thompson dropped out of the Republican race today. My disappointment in my fellow man has nothing to do with Thompson’s stance on Iraq or a solution to our energy woes or what he thinks […]
Sometimes, life smiles on you. Today is one of those days. The Fox Reality Channel is showing a marathon of the greatest television show in history. My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance Steve Bailey – who now plays Joe on Grey’s Anatomy – helped pull off an incredible prank on this show, which ran in 2003-04. […]
When Maria and I first talked about getting married, we looked at where we might want to live. We had lived in Hanover for a few years each, but didn’t know if this is where we wanted to settle permanently. The longer we thought about it, however, the more we realized we didn’t want to […]
I didn’t think I would feel this way, but “Kid Nation” has become one of my favorite TV appointments each week. That goes double for this week’s episode when the kids rebel against the leaders and hold elections for each team’s leader. The show has received some bad press because of the nature of the […]
