What is it with the new trend in sunglasses?

Seriously, what is it with the new trend in sunglasses - The Paris Hilton trend, as I call it? I went to a downtown festivity on a bright and sunny afternoon a while back and these shades could be seen at every which angle, on women from the ages of 6 to 56. What type of sunglasses am I referring to? Not the kind that give enough shade to both the right and left eye, no. The kind that give enough shade to both eyes, plus another four eyes. If it weren't for a person's hair and perhaps some other features, I'd think that I was on a planet infested by aliens, that or a series of Jeff Goldblum clones from "The Fly".

I've never been much of a fashion buff, because I typically don't care. To each their own. Trends always change, so what's the point of altering one's style with the times, knowing that in two years, their current style will be in accord to the nationwide trend? But I don't understand how anyone could find these sunglasses cool or attractive. I don't understand how women can wear high-heels. Some give the reason that it shows more of their legs or "completes" the outfit. Alright, I can see that reasoning and logic...somewhat. But what's the reasoning for the extra large sunglasses? It's not like I see too many people with hats that could fit two heads in it, as the hat would cover the entire face (although, that may be a blessing in disguise for some people). It's not like I see NFL quarterbacks wear a glove on their throwing hand that could fit both hands in for a fashion statement. Good luck throwing the football, buddy! What, does it draw attention to one's forehead (the sexiest part of the human body)? The nose? The ears? The green antennas that are obviously sticking out from one's scalp? I'll admit, one gal I saw at this festival looked pretty good, until I saw those massive sunglasses on her face. At that, I cringed and looked elsewhere at human life-forms.

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...

Mentioned on Crooks and Liars and Hinterland Gazette!

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 ...
