Big Words
On Sportscenter this morning, I saw Chipper Jones (of the Atlanta Braves) openly criticizing a home plate umpire for calling him out on a pitch that was clearly outside. OK, I get it Chipper. You was robbed. However, this would be the same pitch that was called a strike by ALL the umpires in the early 90s in favor of the Braves, when thrown by the trio of Glavin/Maddux/Smoltz, carrying your Braves to the World Series. In other words, Chipper, quit it. It's disingenuous.
Tanking
If I live to be 200, I'll never figure out why Cutthroat Island tanked at the box office as badly as it did. Never
Mock, Mock, Mock
Today the Independent Film Channel is mocking me by showing a moron-o-thon of Arrested Development. Arrrrrrrgh.
Crazy Is As Crazy Does
-A bag of nuts -A brick sort of a load -Crazy as a bedbug -5150 -Both oars are not in the water -Nutty as a fruitcake -Charlie Sheen I forgive Charlie Sheen every nutty idea that flits across his mind. Every bizarre idea he's ever had or will have. His intoxicated sprees. I forgive Charlie everything. He's entertaining and funny and he makes me laugh. That's his job. So, I forgive him his excesses. Even if you don't like Two and a Half Men, there's Men at Work and Terminal Velocity. Keep after it Charlie. We love you, man.
Television Shows That Didn’t Last Long Enough To Suit Me (In No Particular Order)
The X-Files Brimstone The Good Guys Tales Of The Gold Monkey Due South Space: Above And Beyond Police Story Star Trek (The Original With The Only True Captain of The Enterprise-James T. Kirk) Quantum Leap Arrested Development—ONLY KIDDING!!—It blew chunks. Terrible in a way that I just don’t have enough vocabulary for.
