and people wonder why joepa got so mad at the refs…
the past two weeks (today’s osu/indiana game and last week’s penn state/michigan game) have had some of the worst officiating I’ve ever seen on either side of the ball. isn’t this what the instant replay system was put in for — to avoid bad calls? it definitely doesn’t help when they make a blatantly obvious mistake off the replay video itself.
fall is finally here, and the only thing I can think of that’s more depressing than being in cold, gray, rainy ohio is cold, gray, and snowing ohio. I’m really not looking forward to that, or the fact that I’ll be going home from work in the dark pretty soon.
why couldn’t ben franklin stick to flying kites instead of messing with our days? “early to bed, early to rise”… what a dick.
maybe you saw the link earlier last week concerning the death of the conversion van. and maybe you clicked on the key-party-esque link within that article. but I’ll say this: as far as I’m concerned, the conversion van will never die. I have temporarily set aside my goal of owning two RVs (one for living, one for entertaining, naturally) in order to keep the dream of the 70’s and 80’s alive. after all, who would want to live in a world without shag carpeting or airbrushed unicorns? not I, sir. not I.
once a week or so, cd101 has this rock band name game – where callers try to figure out which band names are real, and which are made-up. some of the fake ones are actually pretty good, so that got me thinking about what I would name a band if I had the chance. after all, it seems like the creativity is gone these days… “the killers”, “the strokes”, “the [lead singer] band”, they make great music, but their names are all generic. bring back the days of “strawberry alarm clock” and “creedence clearwater revival”.
actually, I’m kind of partial to real items and phrases. otherwise you get crap like “third eye blind” or “deep blue something”… shitty names for equally shitty bands.
so here’s my list so far:
