If you like to swear, come to Ohio!

In a study conducted by Institute, based on 600,000 phone calls from customers to businesses in the past year, it was found that Ohio residents swear more than residents of any other state in this country! Ohioans also ranked in the bottom five in terms of courtesy. As a current resident of the Buckeye state, was I surprised by this? Not really, at least on the swearing front.

Here's what I typically hear Ohioans say in the following situations (alright, some of these quotes may be slightly exaggerated, to the point where I'm sporting a Pinnochio-esque nose):

Situation: Ordering a drink

"Can a guy get a f**king beer around here? S**t!"


Situation: Ordering food at a nice restaurant

"I'd like the steak. I want it medium-f**kin'-raw! None of that medium-well bulls**t! I want it pink to the point where I can hear the f**king cow f**king moo, okay? You got that?"


Situation: Asking a woman out at a bar

"Hey baby. You're look f**kin' good, girl. How about you and I f**kin' go back to my place and just talk and s**t? We can talk, f**k, and s**t, know what I'm saying? How does that sound?"


Situation: Watching a sporting event

"F**k! F**k! F**k! F**k! F**k! I can't f**king believe that call! What the f**k is that zebra looking at? Jesus! That's f**king horses**t! We're only up 42-0! It should be 56 to f**kin' nothing! Come on, refs! Get with the f**king program here!"


Situation: Proposing to a woman

"Honey, I love you, like, so much and s**t. We've been together for like f**kin' ever, you know? I guess what I'm trying to say is, will you like f**kin' marry me and s**t?"

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!

Due to some tweets of mine, I got mentioned on the following two sites (all my tweets can be viewed here -  https://twitter.com/CraigRozniecki ): https://crooksandliars.com/2019/04/trump-gives-stupid-advice-george https://hinterlandgazette.com/2019/03/istandwithschiff-is-trending-after-donald-trump-led-gop-attack-on-adam-schiff-backfires-spectacularly.html

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 ...
