Lorde's "Royals" song gets temporarily banned in San Francisco

The World Series between the San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals is officially underway. In light of this, apparently two San Francisco radio stations (KFOG Radio and 96.5 KOIT) have decided to ban Lorde's "Royals" song until the World Series is over. Personally, I think this is kind of a silly move, but, eh, whatever. Well, based on this story, here's a list of what the city of San Francisco would likely do if the Giants faced one of the other fourteen American League teams.

Baltimore Orioles - Oreos will not be sold because they sound too much like Orioles.

Boston Red Sox - Anyone wearing a red stocking on their head will be banned, including Santa Claus.

Chicago White Sox - No one will be allowed to wear socks. If they wear socks with flip-flops, they'll be permanently barred from the city.

Cleveland Indians - IDs will be checked at the gate and for anyone with the first name of Christopher or the last name of Columbus, they'll be asked to leave, get drunk, claim to discover a bar and call it a library. From that point forward, bartenders at the place will be called librarians.

Detroit Tigers - Anyone with a boombox playing the song "Eye of the Tiger" will be knocked out by a security guard wearing boxing gloves, and when this occurs, the guard will yell out, "Yo, Adrien! I did it!"

Houston Astros - If someone appears to be a member of the Jetsons, they will not be allowed in the stadium. This will especially be the case for anyone who hums the Jetsons' theme song.

Los Angeles (of Anaheim) Angels - Angels in the Outfield won't be aired anywhere in the city during the World Series. If the Angels win the series, it will never be aired in San Francisco again.

Minnesota Twins - Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger will not be allowed at any of the games.

New York Yankees - Any overweight men whom simultaneously smoke a stogie and drink a beer will be asked to leave. If their last name happens to be Ruth, they'll be asked to never return.

Oakland Athletics - Anyone sporting green and yellow and walking like they're cool will be told to leave and to do some shopping with their girlfriends or gay buddies.

Seattle Mariners - Sleepless in Seattle will be barred from the city indefinitely, regardless of whether the Giants win or lose the series.

Tampa Bay Rays - If anyone pokes fun at tuberculosis by wearing attire with the letters TB on it, they'll be asked to leave and to take some sensitivity classes.

Texas Rangers - Chuck Norris will be told he's not allowed in the stadium. Chances are he'll wind up in there anyway, however.

Toronto Blue Jays - People who seem so nice, you think, "Well, they have to be from Canada," will be asked to leave, and not to come back until they get some attitude.

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...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
