Who at EA decided the "Jump Snap" button is more useful that being able to cycle backwards through the players before the snap? And not only that that would be more useful, but SO much so that we don't even have a separate controller config option to turn it off? Someone at EA deserves to get hurt reeeealllll bad.
Duke has a linebacker named Michael Tauliili. That last name has 5 vowels out of 8 letters for a 62.5% vowel concentration rate. For any name 5 letters or longer (hence omitting an easy one like, say, Opie), that's got to be a vowel concentration record, no?
Link through EDSBS to a random blog. My favorite would have to be LeQuantum McDonald, DL from Baylor.
Though I-Perfection Harris of Ga Tech who didn't make the list is pretty solid, too.
Only in L.A.
Well, if the manufacturer routinely stamps the engine size on the car (i.e. SL 500, SL 600, etc.), why not stamp the side of your car with the exact size of your brand new rims? Good times.
Faithful readers of my blog, all four of you (well, four up until I decided to take the offseason off), likely are aware of my former fandom of one roid-raging wife-beating home-run-hitting ballplayer by the name of Jose Canseco. Well, apparently he is back in the minors, and not only THAT, he's doing it as a member of the Long Beach Armada of the Golden Baseball League. That, as you may know, is 30 miles from where I am currently situated. That, as you can guess, means I'll be there sometime this summer reveling in the goldness of the Golden Baseball League, they who brought us back Rickey Henderson and - I think but can't confirm through Google - Oil Can Boyd, among others. Hell, Darrell Evans is even the manager of Long Beach. Good times all around.
I saw
Nacho Libre last night, and a quote from Nacho about his favorite wrestler Ramses pretty much sums up Canseco for me:
"I USED TO REALLY LIIIIKE RAMSES! I WANTED TO BECOME HIM! But it turns out, he'sss a reeeeallll DOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSHHHHH."
We currently have a system of spelling in the English language that, God forbid it, enables certain children (generally of superior intellectual skills) to excel. So hey, why don't we level the playing field by changing the entire language to a phonetic spelling system? That way, the kids who aren't smart enough or don't work hard enough won't be at ANY disadvantage.
While we're at it, I think 3 x 3 should equal 33. Let's change math too.
As my bro put it today, "Stupid people always want the mountain brought to them." Amen.
Sayings I just don't get
"Definitely maybe." The hell does that mean? Why be cute about it?
"Have your cake and eat it too." Again, wtf? Who has their cake and doesn't eat it? Who came up with this? He ought to be shot.
