One thing I like about Ticketmaster is that you can see the individual seat that you’re looking at, meaning is it an aisle seat, middle of the row, etc. I use SeatGeek almost exclusively, though - I wish they had that feature. With Seatgeek, you don’t know what side of the section you’ll be sitting in, and that can be…

Tab was nasty and I, for one, am glad to see it go. When I was a kid, I had a couple of cousins that were very overweight and that’s all they had to drink whenever we would visit. I asked them one time why they didn’t have any Coke or 7-up and they said that they were watching their weight. I thought that was so…

Wait.  David Crosby is still alive?

I spent several hours on youtube last night. Watching crappy 30-40 year old recordings of Van Halen concerts. Then I pulled out my phone and looked at all the pictures and videos I took from the last Van Halen concert I went to. It sounds stupid, but felt like I had to. Anytime I started thinking I needed to go to bed…

I’m not really sure if I have an opinion or a point here, but I just wanted to take this opportunity to state my feeling about this - pre-nose job Marlo Thomas was cute, post-nose job Marlo Thomas (especially circa 1972) was stunning.

This constantly happens to me and can happen in a variety of ways, but is usually due to me doing something that I should have known not to. What’s really bad is when it’s a song that I really, really like. Anytime a song ends up getting stuck in my head, I hate it by the end of the day. If it’s already a song that I…

I had a possum take up residence in my parked car one winter. Shame on me for not checking on it/running it regularly, but I didn’t find out about until the spring when I went to start it up. I turned on the air and a bunch of shredded paper came shooting out. I didn’t know what it was at first, but the more I looked…

A group of us were having lunch at a regional chain Tex-Mex restaurant in Newark, CA a few years back and one of the young ladies at the table was eating a burrito or chimichanga or something like that. She put a forkful into her mouth and bit into a thin, pliable, translucent material and she quickly spit it back out…

In 2005, I was in the airport in Spokane, WA, in the part with the regional flights where one big waiting area is shared for all of the gates. I saw a guy standing up, looking around all proud of himself, acting like he was hoping for attention and I thought, “that clown wants everyone to notice him because he thinks…

Rod Stewart, back in the day?

My local grocery store had a sign informing everyone that reusable bags were no longer allowed in the store. The sign was at the checkout. The last place you go to before exiting the store.

I spent my entire life growing up detesting and avoiding mayonnaise, mainly because of it’s look and consistency (I got it in my mind that it was just like phlegm, and that’s all it took). When I was in my early twenties, I moved miles and miles away from home. The new town that I lived in didn’t have any of the…

Seems to be pretty common. These are the shirts that the waitresses wear here at a local restaurant chain in Central CA.

I know Mahomes was out hurt, but did he go to the game?  I didn’t see him at all last night.

Not that I really care, but I never heard if Osuna had anything to say on this matter. He’s probably incapable of any kind of empathy toward anyone, but I know how I would feel if someone was defending... ahh, never mind. They’re both pieces of shit.

I remember walking down the hallway one morning during my junior year in high school, staring at a beautiful senior named Cindy as she sang along with the song “Peg” while it was being played over the loudspeakers by our in-school morning radio show. I immediately fell in love with her and, although I don’t know what…

I’d like to try that move where he pops off the bottle cap with a straw... but I live in California.

I had my toenail removed about 20 years ago and I turned my head so I didn’t have to watch and the doctor actually told me that I would probably regret it if I didn’t watch, so I did. That doctor was a lying bastard.

The Greatest Pitcher* of His Generation

I actually revel in the schadenfreude that the failures of the bears provide year after year. Seriously, bears fans? When your greatest claim to fame is some lame 30-year old SNL skit, you’re just not where you think you are. “Da bears” was maybe funny a generation ago, but it’s time to move on.
