I would enjoy punching Bob Dylan in the face.
And that’s not a statement about the man’s music.
Tonight's been sobering.
Did I say sobering? I meant so boring.

Just once...
…I’d like to write a nice little tumbl, have a few people like it, then edit it to say something completely inappropriate - I mean terribly offensive. Borderline criminal. Then I’d take a screenshot of the post and who liked it and finally the joke’s on them.

My Favorite Albums of the Decade
Alright, since a few of us have been talking about these “decade” lists, I thought I’d make a few for fun. First, my favorite albums. These are not the albums I consider the “best” of the last decade (that would be a harder list to make), just my favorites.
This was really hard, as evidenced by my Honorable Mentions. I think my musical tastes have shifted so much...
The Browns won again...

…despite their quarterback. Brady Quinn was 10/17 for 66 yards and 2 INTs…against the Chiefs. Joshua Cribbs threw one incompletion out of the wildcat and had a better passer rating than Quinn. Remember when people were surprised when he fell to the 22nd pick in the draft?
Speaking of Cribbs, he had two kickoff returns for TDs and contributed 214 total yards (rushing,...
Trim
Trim is a pretty versatile word, eh?
I sure love Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. It’s time to trim the Christmas tree! Hey, trim those bangs so I can look you in the eyes. Thank goodness it’s not a hundred degrees while I trim these hedges! Trim and I wrent to get vregetarian frood for drinner.

Lions
So I can’t watch the Lions game because it didn’t sell out and it got blacked out in Detroit, something that doesn’t happen in Grand Rapids.
But I can listen to and read about the Lions game, and it’s a good thing they didn’t let Drew Stanton start, because he might have really embarrassed himself by going 6/12 for 64 yards and an interception in the first half.
Today would be a good day to own a Snuggie.
Now I’m done.

Just listen.
For motivation.

Luke Wilson starred in Marley and Me, while Jason Schwartzman plays for the Lakers.
I didn’t mean to offend you. Wow, that is uncanny.
I wasn’t offended, just embarrassed.

Taco Talk, or, Logic at its Finest.
While at Birch Lodge eating free tacos and watching a bit of the Lions game on Sunday, Jake, Celia, Tyler, Lindsay, and I noticed the Luke Wilson AT&T commercial. We asked why Luke Wilson is doing AT&T commercials, Celia mentioned that he looks like he’s put on a few pounds, I mentioned that he looks like he’s put on a few years, Jake mentioned that it’s a good thing...

Let's Socialize at Work.
tomoatmeal:
If you’re trying to be more social at work, here’s a trick. Walk into the restroom and look over the stall until the person crapping makes eye contact. Then say, “Hi there! You wouldn’t happen to know where the women’s restroom is would you?”
Before he can answer, exit the restroom. This is a lot of fun for the guy in the stall because now he is left to wonder: Is what just...

The Browns.
The Cleveland Browns have two wins this year.
In win number one against the Bills, Derek Anderson was 2-17 for 23 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT.
Last night, against the Steelers, Brady Quinn went 6-19 for 90 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT, with one second half completion.
What the heck.

Seriously…have we run out of players yet?
Dear Alex and Celia,
Campus is officially closed in thirty-seven minutes.
Those 6-9’s you were wondering/worried about - gone. Gone until your final.
Love,
Bill and GVSU
P.S. This will probably have no bearing on my 8 page paper due tomorrow morning.

I feel like I got punched in the stomach. Yankees? Really?
Bleh.
I hate waking up from poorly-planned naps.
Adam’s right. That Chipmunks Christmas song is terrible. It’s just a hair behind the hippopotamus one.

Oh, BS. Er...BCS.
Enough people will look past the much-anticipated collision of undefeated, name-brand powers and sort 2009 in with the long line of BCS train wrecks when it comes to picking a championship. In fact, it’s almost a straight redux of the most spectacular crash in the short history of the BCS, in 2004, which also saw five teams finish the regular season undefeated, three of them from “Big...

…A clock adjustment is only a reviewable play when the ruling on the field is being reversed (i.e. a play ruled a fumble is ruled down by contact - the officials can review the clock and reset it to the correct time.)
However, a review like the one that took place in the Texas-Nebraska game last night is NOT, according to the conference’s replay rules, one that is eligible for...
It was nice...
…watching Grand Valley win that football game yesterday. You know, how they let the top teams play each other to decide who gets to be the champion? It was fun. I just hope those student-athletes aren’t too tired for classes this week…
We can hardly stand the wait...
…please Christmas, don’t be late!

She could have been President.
More people have managed to slog through Sarah Palin‘s memoir. We know that because they‘re finding still more errors. She has misquoted and misattributed and misused the words of a Native American activist, hilariously mistaking Mr. John Wooden Legs for basketball‘s Coach John Wooden.
