Remember When KISS Came to Our High School
We're coming to your town we'll help you party down! Wrong band, but life actually imitated art in 1975 when KISS went to the town of Cadillac, Michigan to play Homecoming. Its one of those bizarre feel good stories with grease paint and rock and roll. The high school football team got on a win streak by playing KISS in the locker room. So the [...]
Favorite Super Bowl 43 Ads
My favorite ads from Super Bowl 43... #1) The Monster.com ad-- the simplicity of it speaks volumes. #2) The Career Builder spot, delivers a similar message. #3) The Teleflora ad -- I'm a sucker for crass humor. This has to be my all time favorite Super Bowl ad, from at least ten year ago (I don't know why there are Spanish [...]
Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl– No Fluke
In response to Charles P. Pierce's razing of the Arizona Cardinals in The Slate this morning, I offer the following counterargument: It is not a fluke or a disgrace that the Cardinals are in the Super Bowl.

By now you know my stance on the endless and [...]
BCS Con Job for 2008
Here are the bowl games that really matter. Hopefully in my lifetime we’ll see a proper college playoff system. It should disturb more people that we have walked on the Moon, sequenced all of the DNA in the human body, yet we can’t get the NCAA to agree on a rational way to see the best teams actually play each other. We’re stuck with [...]
Student Arrested for Passing Gas
Crimewatch: The Sad and the Pathetic Martin County, Florida Other than having three pro football teams and Disney World do we really need Florida as a state of the union? It just seems that state has more knuckleheads per capita than any other. We have a two-fer from Martin County. On November 4th a 13 year old student at Spectrum [...]
Bats Day: Goths Raid Magic Kingdom
Fishnets, body piercing, and latex. This is how I imagine Fangtasia, the vampire bar on True Blood, would look on a Saturday night. But this is real life and Mickey Mouse is standing next to me. Let me back up. I like Disneyland. I don’t love it, but I do tend to go at least twice a year. The rides are nostalgic, the food is good, [...]
