A personal ad brought to you by Louie Gohmert

The Daily Show's "Moment of Zen" cracked me up last night. The show's nightly final segment featured Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert (Republican), who, when speaking about illegal immigration said this:

"Come some night with me and sit out at the border, one, two, three in the morning - dogs, tarantulas, scorpions, rattlesnakes..."

For some reason, when hearing Gohmert utter this line, I immediately thought of a strange personal ad:

"If interested, I'd love for you to join me on a long romantic walk on the beach..."

Instead of using that cliched line, however, Gohmert went a different route. In fact, when reading that line again, I envision Gohmert engaging in the following back-and-forth with a woman on a dating site:

Pattie B. Kinky: "What was your name again, big boy?"

Louie Gohmert: "Louie, Louie Goh... You can just call me Louie."

Pattie: "So, Louie, what do you like to do for fun, if you know what I mean?"

Louie: "Oh, you know - the usual: Watching reality television, eating fast food, hunting squirrels, getting my kids to try and teach me how to read gooder."

Pattie: "That's not what I meant. Anyway, so, do you like romancing a woman?"

Louie: "I'm the most romantic guy this side of Rush Limbaugh if that tells you anything!"

Pattie: "Hasn't he been married a few times?"

Louie: "Yup - that's because the women love him. He's known as Mr. Romance. Why he hasn't gotten a leading role in one of those rom-crom Hollywood movies is beyond me!"

Pattie: "I like you, Louie. How would you like to go out sometime? Would you like that? Would you like to romance me? How would you do it?"

Louie: "You know what? Yes, I would love that, Pattie B. Kinky. I've got the perfect idea too! I've always wanted to do this with a woman..."

Pattie: "Really? Is it getting hot in here?"

Louie: "Well, we are in Texas, and it is August, so yeah, probably."

Pattie: "No... Nevermind... Please go on... What were you going to say? How will you romance me, sweep me off my feet, and get me in ultimate mood for..."

Louie: ::cuts her off:: "Alright, I'll tell you. Come some night with me and sit out at the border, one, two, three in the morning - dogs, tarantulas, scorpions, rattlesnakes..."

Pattie: "That sounds, mm, interesting..."

Louie: "I know - don't it? So, what do you say?"

Pattie: "I say you can check out those dogs, tarantulas, scorpions, and rattlesnakes by yourself. I'm in desperate need of a 'snake,' but not one that rattles! Goodbye!"

:: blocks him ::

Louie: ::mumbles to himself:: "What? Did I say something wrong? Hmm... I just don't get women sometimes."

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 ...
