Scott Walker, at 0% support, drops out of the race to help defeat Donald Trump

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, with his 0% support according to the polls, has decided to end his run to become the next president. He's apparently done this in order to help one of 13 other Republican candidates defeat Donald Trump to become the party's nominee.

When asked, Walker elaborated further on the matter by saying this:

"While I'm incredibly disappointed with how my campaign fared and wish I was still in the race, with a chance to become the next president, I'm excited to help one of my Republican brothers or sisters defeat Donald Trump to become the party's nominee. Trump is polling at what, 25-30%, with Carson and Fiorina about 10-15 points behind him? I mean, I know my own family didn't even support me as the party's nominee, but I have to have some supporters out there somewhere, right? Even if it's just 1 or 2 votes, I really think I could help Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, or someone else defeat Donald Trump. Let's just do that math... Um... If Trump is at 25%, Carson is at 15%, and you add my votes to Carson's, he's all the way up to 15%, only 10 points back of Trump! I don't like to compare myself to Jesus, but in this case, I think it's fitting, because with my handful of supporters going on to support other candidates, I could seriously save the Republican Party!"

In a follow-up poll, it was found that 86% of Republican voters didn't know Scott Walker ended his campaign, with another 63% saying they were uncertain of who he was.

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...
