What I learned in Week 8 of the NFL season...

In Week 8 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., on Thanksgiving, Detroit Lions players and coaches will oddly say, "We're thankful for delay of game penalties."

- ...it's Tennessee Titans quarterback Zach Mettenberger's lifelong dream to take a selfie while standing in the pocket, and it's Houston Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt's dream to sack Mettenberger while he's taking that selfie.

- ...Geno Smith has asked if there's any way he can get traded to West Virginia.

- ...Cris Carter is bound to say, "You shut out Cincinnati 27-0 and then give up 51 points to Pittsburgh?!? Indianapolis Colts defense - where you at?"

- ...Aaron Rodgers is currently telling his hamstring to relax.

- ...Atlanta is asking the league to condense games down to one half, especially if the game is in London.

- ...two of the surest bets are New Orleans to win at home and New Orleans to lose on the road. Two other such bets are for Oakland to lose at home and Oakland to lose on the road.

- ...the AFC North is less predictable than David Lynch films.

- ...Mike Ditka is going to have to give the entire Chicago Bears team a "Stop it!" speech before long.

- ...Players and coaches of every team in the NFC South are telling each other, "Hey, if we just win 6 or 7 games, we could win this division! That's like, awesome and stuff, or something!"

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...
