Romney/Ryan - The Comeback Team ("Come back with us to the 1820s!")

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have called themselves "The Comeback Team," which can be seen displayed on billboards, bumper stickers, television ads, the internet, temporary tattoo stickers, autographs signed on women's chests, etc. Initially, I imagine the Republican Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates meant for this slogan to mean that by electing them, they'll bring the country back to where it should be in their minds - both from an economic and "moral" standpoint. America is going to "comeback" under their leadership, I'm sure is what was intended with the phrase. However, in light of a new Pew poll showcasing that President Obama leads Romney by 8 points among likely voters, perhaps the before-mentioned slogan was merely a foreshadowing of that.

Of course, the slogan can be taken rather ambiguously and being the smart aleck that I am, I'd like to have some fun with it. I'll now concoct a few alternative sayings of the Romney/Ryan slogan by attempting to explore what it is they mean exactly by "The Comeback Team."

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back to the kitchen where you belong, ladies!

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back with us to the 1820s!

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back to the Bush years! Weren't those great?

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back to Earth, which we vacated long ago.

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back to reality and please bring us with!

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back to us after we say 47% of you don't matter!

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back the gays and we'll give you a free haircut!

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back animal lovers and we'll provide your dog with a free ride on the roof of our car!

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back Jesus and take us away from this God-awful election!

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back Mitt and show your true identity, whichever one that is!

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 ...
