What I learned in Week 13 of the NFL season

In Week 13 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...there are three guarantees in life: death, taxes, and Andy Reid winning after bye weeks.

- ...the Detroit Lions have proven, if you believe in yourself, and are facing a prevent defense in a goal-to-go situation, anything is possible.

- ..., if Santa really is the ultimate gift-giver, he is in fact black, and goes by the name Lamar Jackson.

- ...Joe Mixon even fumbles in touch-football.

- ..., based on their performance Sunday night against the Denver Broncos, it's become apparent the Kansas City Chiefs receivers are serious investors in Butterfingers.

- ..., given his seeming obsession with "Top Gun," the question now is, "Will the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback wind up being Maverick Minshew or Goose Minshew?" Too soon?

- ..., since it was the Green Bay Packers' bye-week, this was the only week of the season where Dr. Aaron Rodgers only passed COVID on Sunday.

- ..., if Jimmy Garoppolo starred in a porno, it would inevitably be called, "This Is the Wrong Hole, Isn't It?"

- ...the New Orleans Saints quarterback's new nickname should be Toddler Taysom, for he's more guilty of picks than a 3-year-old.

- ...Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley, up 8 in the 4th quarter, decided to go for 2 after scoring a touchdown. Next Gen analytics apparently says, "After scoring a touchdown, always go for the field goal."

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...
