What I learned in Week 8 of the NFL season

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

- ...Chris Spielman has mastered math like mimes have mastered motivational speaking.

- ...the Miami Dolphins are about as predictable as F5 tornadoes nicknamed "Shifty."

- ...the Pittsburgh Steelers suffer from Princess Bride moments when it comes to "free kicks": "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

- ...the Baltimore Ravens have been awarded with a "The Little Lebowski Urban Underachievers" certificate.

- ...Adrian Peterson is set to star in the new film, 33 Going On 23.

- ..., when stand-up legend George Carlin said, "Golf is like watching flies f*ck," he was actually talking about Arizona Cardinals/San Francisco 49ers games.

- ...Jameis Winston has apparently never consumed Fitz-Magic. Instead, he's opted for Shitz-Tragic.

- ..., after sending Khalil Mack to Chicago and Amari Cooper to Dallas, the Oakland Raiders are actively looking to trade Jon Gruden.

- ...Odell Beckham, Jr. catches a football better with one hand than a first-time elementary school teacher catches colds from students. 

- ..., on his PlentyOfFish dating profile, under "special talent," Jameis Winston probably wrote, "It's so easy for me, I can throw picks with my eyes closed. I can throw picks without even trying."

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...
