Picture in need of a better caption

Thursday, March 25th, 2004

Saw this picture in the paper the other day.

But I think it needs a better caption. I’m a little torn about which I like better:

  • “Both of you, you’re fired!”
  • “You, I hate so much, you’re fired twice!”
  • “Fuck you! You’re fired! Trump can kiss my ass!”

Bracket explosion and Vet implosion

Thursday, March 25th, 2004

Well, as the Sweet 16 games get underway, last Saturday and Sunday blew huge holes in my bracket. According to the nifty bracket calculator on Yahoo, I’ve found out that I basically have no chance in hell of winning my office pool. And it doesn’t look like I’m going to finish dead last either, which gets 25% of the money. Not that the NCAA likes that sort of thing, mind you.

And I got to see Veterans’ Stadium here in Philly get imploded last Sunday. I was surprised to see several thousand people there before 7:00 am. Check out some pictures and a video of the implosion.

Musings while walking through the food court

Wednesday, March 10th, 2004

The brain does marvelously weird things while you’re walking from point A to point B. In my case, it happened to be at ye olde food court today. Not that it’s a spectacular food court by any means – it was just one of those days.

First, please send Martha Stewart to jail. Really. Just because. (Here are some funny cartoons.) I’m tired of the whining that they’re only after her because she’s a successful woman. Bullshit. She was a stockbroker and for a measly (by her standards) $51,000 savings lied to investigators. She should have known better; at least, she should’ve known it would look suspicious. Hell, it’s already cost her much more than $51,000 in legal fees, brand damage, and further portfolio loss by the decline of the stock of her own company! And for all those other who ask “What about Enron?” They’re getting to it. Those cases are far more complicated and will take much longer to sort out. As far as what the sentence will be, apparently some commentators fail to realize that since this is a federal crime, Martha will be sentenced according to federal guidelines, which leave little room for discretion on the judge’s part. So, what color goes with concrete bitch? I think somebody may already have an idea

What exactly is it about Chick-Fil-A and their food? The line at this place is constant, regardless of whether it’s 12:00, 1:15, or 2:00. I don’t get it. Is there liquid crack in there?

Do the Eagles get Terrell Owens? (The ESPN site is much more subdued than TO’s official site.) We’re supposed to find out by Monday, March 15. The case will be heard on Saturday and decided on Sunday. Now, any Eagles fan knows that ‘da Boids need a big-time receiver, and TO should fit that bill. But is he really a Philly-style player? Will he grind it out, get hit something fierce, and (most importantly) hang on to the <string of expletives deleted> football? If he comes here, he’d better, or he’s TOast.

And before I forget: Go Duke!!! To hell with you Kentucky losers at farq. What, you think I’m going to link to them?
