...and that's how you spell i-r-o-n-y, my friends...

I read a comment last night which made me laugh out loud and felt the need to share it. Yes, I know the term "LOL" tends to get used rather loosely, but I literally LOLed when I read a Donald Trump supporter say the following - "Bernie Sanders rallies scare the hell out of me!"

Yes, that's right, a supporter of a man who regularly incites violence at his own rallies, leaving several injured and/or arrested, is frightened by a group of "hippies" holding hands, singing kumbaya, and smoking medical marijuana when surrounding an old man who resembles Doc Brown from Back to the Future.

Trump rally: "Kick that guy's ass! Yes, his! That other one too! Yo, old fart, sucker-punch that black dude who's walking out of here! Oh, and the rest of you pansy-ass hippy protester pieces of sh*t have to leave! Now! Or else!"

Trump supporter: "I gotta tell you, I could probably fall asleep right now I'm so relaxed. The only thing which could relax me more is if I heard some people firing a few guns."


Sanders rally: "Everyone deserves healthcare! Everyone deserves a free college education! Everyone deserves equal rights and opportunities! Chant with me: E-qual-i-ty! E-qual-i-ty! E-qual-i-ty!"

Trump supporter: "Everybody run! Let's get out of here! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"


Yeah, given this Trump supporter's seemingly odd manner of, eh, thinking, I'll expect him to utter the following lines in the future (if he hasn't already):

- "Why, when standing on top of this ladder, do I feel shorter?"

- "To help me sleep at night, I just put 'Uptown Funk' on repeat and I'm out within 2 minutes every time."

- "Since they were real little, I've always told my kids, 'The best way to dry off is by taking a shower.'"

- "When I'm in a big hurry and am running late for something, instead of taking my car, I pretend to do the hurdles while wearing ice skates."

- "There's nothing quite like putting your head in the freezer when you're cold and want to warm up!"

- "Some people may lay outside or go to the tanning booths, but when I want to get a nice summer tan, I play video games in the basement for a few hours."

- "The first and most important rule to not get shot by a gun is to put your mouth over it and give the shooter the thumb's up signal with both hands."

- "The grass is always greener on the other side when that other side has faced record droughts and wasn't very green to begin with."

- "The best way to get and feel nice and clean is slip 'n' sliding in the mud."

- "To enjoy a nice moment of silence, my family and I have this weekly thing called TT or Tourette's Tuesdays."

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 ...
