The male version of the crazy cat lady

If my relationship ultimately doesn't work out, I may try to start a new trend and date either a straight guy or a lesbian. We seem to understand one another more than people I'm attracted to - heterosexual women. We could just chill, watch football, drink beer (a Jack and Coke for me), listen to rock music, and not ever worry about sex, because there wouldn't be any - between us anyway. Of course, if those cravings arose, we'd have to go elsewhere and that could complicate matters.

Him: "Dude, I'm doing somebody."

Me: "Yeah, I know."

Him: "I think I'm in love."

Me: "Crap. So, where's this leave us?"

Him: "Where we've always been - best friends, except I'm going to move in with her."

Me: "::sighs:: I knew this would happen. Aren't I good enough for you?"

Him: "Well, aren't you doing somebody too?"

Me: "No"

Him: "Are you gay or something?"

Me: "Did I ever hit on you?"

Him: "There was that one time you grabbed my butt during a game of football."

Me: "I smacked it. Lots of football players do that."

Him: "I've felt those kind of smacks. That was a grab. You were feeling around down there for at least five seconds."

Me: "Whatever, but no, I'm not gay."

Him: "Alright, well, I've got plenty of guys and gals I could send over here to take care of that for you if you want..."

Me: "No, that's alright."

Him: "Dude, you are gay!"

Me: "Am not! Whatever! Go and have fun with your girlfriend!"

Him: "I will! More fun than you're having with your right hand!"

Me: "I'm ambidextrous!"

Him: "Ambi - what? Bi? You're bi? I knew you were gay!"

Me: "What? That's not what I said!"

Him: "Alright. Well, I'm all packed now. I'll see ya around."

Okay, so perhaps that's not such a good idea. Maybe I could just become the male version of the crazy cat lady.

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 ...

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
