But I DID save 15% on my car insurance!

You gotta love those HNIC hype videos. Nobody does it better (with regards to Carly Simon). The best one is this one for the closing of the 2013 playoffs.

Did they ever take an American History class in school?

Now here is a stat that I always found fascinating. Unfortunately, I don’t have the numbers in front of me so maybe somebody out there can help me out. But, as I understand it, a batter who walks to lead off an inning comes around to score more often than a batter who singles to lead off the inning. Why is that? In…

There is one element here that is not being considered. The unintentional intentional walk. With runners at 2nd and 3rd and 1st base open, you pitch around the batter. The idea is that if you throw 4 pitches out of the strike zone, you might entice the batter to swing at something bad and get himself out. If the…

In all seriousness, doesn’t Popular Mechanics magazine publish blueprints and plans on how to build all kinds of vehicles anymore? I know they used to. It seems to me that you would at least get a clue as to what’s needed if you looked at those plans.

Hey! I got it! Take this frame from a 1980 Schwinn bicycle I found in my garage and weld it to the side! That’ll protect you in case of a crash!

I loved it! My only regret is that it didn’t last longer and go further. And I’m a white guy.

Here it is! I found it! It was on Youtube. Eddie Murphy and his bit about slavery and racism.

Do you remember that Eddie Murphy stand up special he did many years ago? He talked about how black people today act like they couldn’t have been slaves. “I wish I was a slave I would fuck somebody up!” Yea, the first brother off the boat tried that shit, then got the whip and the rest of the brothers said “OK, I’ll…

Yea, I wasn’t trying to say that you’re wrong or that you shouldn’t do the things you do. Obviously, one day, there will be no paper money or coins and everything will be credit and debits into your account. But as long as there are evil people out there looking to steal your stuff, there is never going to be a…

It happens.

I have to admit I was totally wrong about the Eagles and Carson Wentz.

Sounds good in theory, but I bet it fails in real life. I can just see it now. My wife had a hard, harried, stressful day with the kids while I slept on the couch all afternoon. I feel great. And she’s going to kick my ass when she gets home. Is it worth it? No.

What’s the point in living to be 100 if you never enjoyed a single meal you ever ate?

So, what is the bigger problem? People stealing paper checks or people hacking into your account? I’ve never used an electronic payment transfer of any type in my entire life. I have a debit card that I’ve used at the store and at the ATM, but I’ve never used any such thing to pay a bill. I’ve written and continue to…

I’m not a doctor, but shouldn’t somebody be sewing that thing up or something?

This kid watches waaaaaaaaaaaay toooooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuch Sportscenter.

It looks good on your resume.

Very well put. The ‘non-white’ demographic hates everybody who doesn’t look like them just like white folks do.
