WNBA=We’re Not Bad Asses
Bench clearing brawl? Uber-athletic cat fight? Meh. Â The video doesn’t quite live up to they hype from this article in the News Sentinel. The only thing worthwhile in the video is the audio of the guy filming it making cat sounds. Parker was one of three players ejected along with Detroit assistant coach Rick [...]
On Hearing Loss
I just read Newscoma’s post about her strep throat related hearing loss. Hers is temporary, but it’s still weird. I lost my hearing temporarily once. She can describe what the experience is like better than I can, but my story is still worth telling. It’s odd not being able to hear. The telephone is impossible. [...]
How Do You Deal With Difficult People?
Mimzie trips them. As we were walking in, I opened the door to walk in, but a man was on his way out and nearly knocked us both down as he bolted from the place. How did I handle this? My instincts kicked in and I stuck my foot out and tripped him. I have [...]
Ouch! This Hits Home
I just saw this commercial that features rugby and nothing but rugby. That’s a pretty rare event, and it definitely got my attention. But a 39 year old scrum half? That club must be hard up for players. Not only is that old, but this guy reminds me of my all time favorite inside center. [...]
He’s Ba-ack!
EJ’s Damn Sexy Morality Void has finally been updated. I ran into him Sunday and there are a ton of new stories that he could post. The question–when will he? Unfortunately, he can’t spell or punctuate all that well, but he has a way with words that is rivaled only by his way with women. [...]
Why I Don’t Delete Anything (Anymore)
I wrote something on Twitter last night after spending an hour or so reading old emails between the missus and me from our dating days. At the time we were living 750 miles apart, so email was one of our major means of communication.  Seemingly unrelated, I wrote a post a couple of weeks ago about some [...]
Dream Connection Radiothon
If you are feeling more like Bob Cratchit and less like Ebenezer Scrooge Tuesday morning, I’ll be manning the phones with the Knoxville Rugby Club at Dream Connection’s annual Radiothon on WIVK–call in and make a pledge from 7am to 10 am! If you aren’t familiar with Dream Connection, it is an East Tennessee charity [...]
Some Funny Old Rugby T Ideas
I was digging through some old messages from a Yahoo! Group my rugby club used to use for communication, and I’m finding some pretty hilarious posts. You don’t have to know anything about rugby for these to be funny, although the guys in the club may appreciate them a little more. For instance, in 2001 [...]
Three Things I Haven’t Let Go
When I first got hit with this meme by BillyMac, I thought the topic was “3 Things I Wouldn’t Let Go”. That one would be pretty easy–family, health, and some other random item. But this is “3 Things You Haven’t Let Go”, which has a much different conotation. Maybe I’m inferring it incorrectly, and it’s [...]
Ron Paul at the CNBC Michigan Debate
Here are all the Ron Paul clips merged together… I didn’t get to watch this one because of work and rugby. Great answers on our monetary policy, and one of the best quotes ever…. “Why don’t we just open up the Constitution and read it?!” Did Mitt Romney really say that he would consult attorneys [...]
