What is wrong with so many of the drivers on the road today? One quick example...If someone is waiting to turn from a side street into my lane, and there is not another car behind me visible all the way to the horizon, then why does this imbecile insist on waiting until the last possible second and pull out directly in front of me? Furthermore, why does he or she then proceed to take several thousand feet to get the vehicle up to the speed limit, requiring me to slow down to a crawl and putt putt along behind them? Finally, why can't I have a rocket launcher on my car for just such an instance?
Can Pixar make a bad movie? All existing evidence points to NO.
The Jets need to take care of Revis, Harris, and Mangold, and they need to do so soon.
What is the difference between a ground squirrel and a chipmunk (besides the fact that Chipmunks wear sweaters and sing Christmas songs about hula hoops)? For that matter, is there really any difference between a woodchuck & a gopher?
The Expendables has got to have the greatest "guy movie" cast ever assembled... "Sly" Stallone, Bruce Willis, Ah-nuld Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Jet Li, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Eric Roberts, Dave Zayas... I have no idea what it's about, and frankly, I don't care! I'll be seeing this one in the theater for sure.
I've never been a militant anti-smoker, but it really peeves me when you smokers out there in the world (you know who you are) throw your butts out the window of your car, or on the ground while you're walking, or pretty much anytime you don't simply dispose of them properly. Hey, we all have some kind of bad habit & many of us suffer some kind of vice. Mine happens to be junk food. And hey, if you want to inhale toxic smoke into your lungs by choice and pollute your body, that is your decision. But you don't see me throwing candy wrappers and fast food bags out the window of my car as I drive along, and I would never throw an empty potato chip bag on the ground prior to entering your home or business. Litter is litter my friends. I guess what I am saying is put your cigarettes out in an ashtray and keep your disgusting habit to yourself.
Is it just because Dave Grohl played drums in Nirvanna that the Foo Fighters don't ever seem to get their due respect? Because for my money, the Foo Fighters are at least ten thousand times the band that Nirvana ever was.
When did long distance races (marathons, half-marathons, triatholons) become so chic? It seems like everybody is running (or cycling, or swimming) these races lately... so should my excuse for not competing be that I am hopelessly out of style or grossly out of shape?
I am definitely not anti-hunting, but I have to say that I don't really see the "sport" in hiding camouflaged in a tree or in some blind for hours at a time while you wait for scent and sound lures to bring your prey to you. It seems to me that if your primary interest in hunting is the "sport" of it, then wouldn't you want to be down on the ground, tracking and stalking your prey... maybe this means you would be less likely to come home with a kill, but it seems like it would be more in the spirit of the whole idea of hunting.
For that matter, I grew up with the understanding that a sport was something that required some degree of physical exertion. If you agree, then doesn't this fact disqualify car racing from being defined as a sport? I'm not saying that it does not require skill, simply that is stretching things to call it a sport. To me, it's like calling chess or poker a sport. These things are games, but not sports. Semantics maybe, I know, but it seems pretty straightforward to me.
Well, that's it for now...
