Fox News' War on Christmas seems misguided

With another year almost complete, upon us is another year in the War on Christmas, so says Fox News and its followers. From people abbreviating Christmas to Xmas to "Merry Christmas" becoming "Happy Holidays" to Christmas trees being called holiday trees, the spirit of the Christmas season is obviously becoming no more. Christmas should be a time to celebrate family, tradition, commercialism, and the Jesus. Yes, we've taken the Christ out of Christmas, but not through silly symbolic measures such as abbreviations. No, if Fox News and the like want to go after people for waging a war against Christmas, perhaps they should look elsewhere, which this following story should illustrate:

Setting: Outside of a Wal-Mart just before Black Friday begins

::Wal-Mart officially opens on Black Friday::

Cindy Christ: ::pushes people:: "Out of my way! Get the hell out of my way, people! Hey, you over there - you better not be going for that doll! That's mine!"

Jessica Magdalene: "No, it's not! It's mine now! That's just too bad, isn't it?"

Cindy: "Give me that!" ::attempts pulling it away from Jessica::

Jessica: "No, it's mine - all mine! I'm giving it to my daughter! Go find something else!"

Cindy: ::smacks Jessica across the face and takes the doll: "That's what you think, you selfish b**ch!"

Jessica: ::jumps on Cindy's back, trying to take her down:: "Oh, no, you didn't! You're not going to get away that easy! Give it back! Give it back! I had it first!"

Cindy: "Get off of me, you fat cow! Go find another doll, or some Slim-Fast. At your size, if you slim down fast at all, you'll be down to 350 lbs. within a week!"

Jessica: "What? Take it back! Take it back!"

::the two start wrestling on the floor::

Walter Evil: "Ladies, ladies... Come on, now. Is this the way to behave? Here, there was one more doll hidden behind a few things. Here you are. Now you can both have one for your daughters or whoever you'll be giving them to."

::the two ladies get up and nod toward one another, as they continue huffing and puffing::

Walter: "There. That's better. Now let's all continue our shopping in a peaceful manner. What do you say?"

Cindy: "Okay, that sounds good. Thanks, sir. Merry Christmas."

Jessica: "Yeah, thanks. Merry Christmas."

Walter: "Happy Holidays to you both! Take care."

::the two ladies look at one another::

Cindy: "What? Don't you dare take Christ out of Christmas!"

Jessica: "Yeah! You heathen! Let's get him!"

::the two ladies start pouncing on the guy like Sugar Ray Leonard::

Walter: "Stop it! Please! You're hurting me! What did I do?"

Cindy: "You said Happy Holidays!"

::continues punching him::

Jessica: "Yeah! Take it back! Say Merry Christmas!"

Walter: "I don't understand! Please stop this!"

Jessica: "Say Merry Christmas!"

Walter: "Okay, alright, Merry Christmas."

::the two ladies get up::

Cindy: "There, was that so hard?"

Jessica: "Yeah, geez, those frickin' atheists. Wanna go grab a bite to eat?"

Cindy: "Yeah, I'm getting pretty hungry too. Alright, let's buy these dolls and go."

::Jessica pushes Walter down one more time::

Jessica: "A*shole!"

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 ...
