Donald Trump apparently knows not what he says...

Even with all the crazy things he's said in the past, 2016 Republican front-runner Donald Trump still continues to amaze me with the words which emanate from his mouth.

In a recent Rolling Stone article regarding Trump, when the businessman saw fellow GOP candidate Carly Fiorina on television, he remarked, "Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president. I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?"

After receiving the inevitable backlash following the article's publication, Trump responded by saying the following to CNN's Chris Cuomo on New Day:

"I'm not talking about her looks. I'm talking about her persona."

That's right. Let's look at that again, shall we?

Trump's initial comment: "Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president. I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?"

Trump's follow-up comment: "I'm not talking about her looks. I'm talking about her persona."

So, I guess Trump temporarily mistook the words face and persona for one another, eh? When Ms. Fiorina appeared on the television, what Trump really meant to say was, "Look at that persona! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the persona of our next president. I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?"

Riiight...

Given that explanation, expect Donald Trump to make these comments and follow-up statements in the coming weeks and months:


Initial comment: "That Mexican looks creepy, but what else is new?"

Follow-up comment: "Come on, do you really think I meant it like that? Are you really that stupid? What I was really saying was I know this Mexican dude who has the last name Creepy and it just reminded me of him. That's it; that's all. Got it? Understand? Capisce-o?"


Initial comment: "Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims. Wait, I take that back, all Muslims are terrorists."

Follow-up comment: "My quote was taken completely out of context. One of my best friends is Muslim. His name is something like Mohammed Abdul Allah Jaboo Daboo Doodah. I don't know; I'll have to ask him again. Great guy, great guy, and no, not a terrorist. So, I mean, there's at least one that's not."


Initial comment: "Holy sh*t; she's fat!"

Follow-up comment: "Look, you losers, I wasn't talking about her weight, her figure, her whatever; I was talking about the size of her heart and brain and sh*t."

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...
