Matt Stone and Trey Parker have done some wonderful things for America. They brought us BASEketball. They brought us South Park. They brought us Team America. Now, they will bring us Kenny vs. Spenny. For some of us, they will bring back Kenny vs. Spenny. The rest of you will wonder how you lived life […]
Rarely do things converge in such a fantastic way as they have today. First off, we have the Britney Spears trainwreck on the MTV Video Music Awards. But since the VMAs were reportedly a trainwreck (I didn’t watch because I was watching another episode of The Eli Manning Face) can you have a trainwreck within […]
No, I haven’t decided to go all U2 on my readers, but something absolutely wonderful happened today. It wasn’t the two R.E.M. songs I heard on XM in the first 15 minutes of my commute, which happened almost two hours earlier than usual today. It wasn’t the free lunch I got. It wasn’t the delicious […]
The death of a fan of a sports team really shouldn’t be news. But “Wild Bill” Hagy was more than a sports fan. He was Baltimore. At least a part of Baltimore that I will always cherish. Hagy died Monday at the age of 68. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, as the Baltimore […]
Today is the anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death in 1977. I am not that big of an Elvis fan, but I grow to appreciate him a little more every year, especially since some family members are pretty big fans. I remember going to see a group of Flyin Elvis’ at a minor league baseball game […]

I went out to pick up lunch for myself and some co-workers yesterday. There is this awesome small supermarket with a great sandwich section near our office thatI went to. I get to the back and get in line to order our food. They had two registers working. I grabbed a menu and decided what […]
CBS announced yesterday that loveable schlub Drew Carey would replace Bob Barker on “The Price is Right.” I thought Carey would be a great selection as soon as I heard his name bandied about. Anyone would be better than Rosie O’Donnell, but I think Drew will handle the show pretty well.Most people know Drew from […]
XM and Sirius have announced details about their plans to merge. In short, you can get a bunch of channels from each service or have a choice of 50 or 100-channel “a la carte” packages. The 50-channel deal will be cheaper than the current prices, but seemingly restricts you to one service, while the 100-channel […]
I had off yesterday, so Maria and I decided to go out to lunch while Bridget was at Girl Scout camp. The night before there was an interesting story in the local paper about a BBQ place a few towns over, so we decided to try it out. First off, the food was good. Really […]
