"A Gay Phase"


No, I didn't say that. But a friend of mine did a few years ago. He compared the "gay movement" to the Goth movement, saying "It's just a phase and it'll all go away sometime."

It’s one of the few times this ever happened, but I lost it right then and actually raised my voice (that doesn't happen often). Because how idiotic of a statement is that? "A gay phase?" What, a person just wakes up one day after sleeping with someone of the opposite sex and says to themselves, "You know, I'm getting kind of tired of this. I think I'm going to be gay for a few months and then go back to this"? I don't think so.

What, can we go through "Asian phases" one month, "European phases" another, and "African phases" yet another? What about with gender? Can we go through "man" and then "woman phases? What about androgynous ones? Can I go through a teacher phase, followed by a lawyer phase and then a garbageman phase? How does this work?

Homosexuality has existed for centuries. There were even gay T-Rex's around the dinosaur age. It's obviously not just a "phase." Oh wait, I have to go. I feel my "black phase" coming on here (for those that don't know, then look at my picture).

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Face guarding is legal in college football and the NFL

I just wanted to remind fans and announcers especially, that face guarding is legal in both college football and the NFL. It all comes down to contact. So long as a defender doesn't make contact with an intended receiver, he doesn't have to turn around to play the ball. I can't tell you how many times every week I hear announcers talk about face guarding being a penalty. It's not. I even heard one announcer yesterday state, "If the defender doesn't turn around and play the ball, the ref will call pass interference every time." That's simply not true. Courtesy of referee Bill LeMonnier, he says this with regard to the rule at the college level (answered on 8/12/13): "NCAA rules on pass interference require the face guarding to have contact to be a foul. No contact, no foul by NCAA rules." In the NFL rule book, this is written:  "Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a ...
