Pretty please….stop trying to rip me off
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……… I feel a little rant coming on. My really close friends would laugh at that because they’ve probably already heard the tirade. I often use my friends as the sounding board to gather and organize my ideas. Then I try and express them decently in this forum. My roommate and I laugh […]
A Couple of Departures; One Good, One Bad
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……….. Yesterday was a day where I learned of a couple of farewells happening in the world. Actually, I did know that one was imminent. But the other one caught me a bit off guard. You could also say that one departure was a good one. The other one I am a little disappointed to hear […]
Are you sure you know your neighbor that well?
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……… On Sunday, I was given yet more inspiration from some of the football crowd for some interesting discussion. Don’t worry….it has nothing to do with football for the non-sports fans out there. But I do think I have to come up with a name for this collective group of guys who […]
The Chicago Bears…and then a true hero
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. For the second time in 14 calender days yesterday afternoon, the Chicago Bears looked like they could use a hero. In what seemed like a rerun of the game against Cincinnati two weeks earlier, they got pummeled by a rather mediocre team. Yeah, the Arizona Cardinals made the Super Bowl last year, […]
Cool episode of Survivor on Thursday
Dude, I’m tellin ya………. I really enjoyed this past Thursday’s episode of Survivor and it’s not just because Pretty Boy Probst didn’t show up until about 7:28 or so. At the very end, it made me think of the scene from Goodfellas where Joe Pesci walks into the bar and an old acquaintance breaks his balls about […]
The Dirty Dozen
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. I had to pat myself on the back last night after Mariano Rivera recorded the last out for the Yankees for them to win the World Series. Did I call this one pretty good or what? In earlier posts, I predicted the Yankees win it in 6. They did. I predicted […]
George Carlin knew bullshit when he saw it
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. I’m feeling a little bit on the ledge today. Why is it that whenever you seem to be working hardest toward your goals and really doing everything “right”, that is when you make the least progress and suffer the most setbacks? It’s times like that when shortcuts and cheating one’s way […]
OK, We Get It—You Wrote a Book
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya…………. Like oh-so-many great observations, this one came from that group of drunken slobs that I watch football with on Sundays. For a bunch of guys who can’t win a confidence pool or their fantasy team games, they sure do see the rest of the world in a pretty clear light. I […]
Updates……We Got Updates Here…..Get your ice-cold updates !!!
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. The Bears tried to save a little face yesterday against the hapless Cleveland Browns and accomplished that goal—-a little bit. I didn’t think there could be a worse team in football than the Detroit Lions after we played them. But Cleveland sucks pretty bad too. And despite the Bears easy victory, […]
