What I learned in Week 17 of the NFL season

In Week 17 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., from this point forward, whenever workers plan to stage a walkout, they'll refer to it as AB Day.

- ..., when the season's over, Baker Mayfield will undoubtedly get a part in a "Monty Python" stage play, where he'll be decked out in a full-body cast and repeatedly say, "Tis but a scratch."

- ...it's always a Chase with Ja'Marr, because nobody can catch him.

- ...the fact Aaron Rodgers reads Ayn Rand books will be the least surprising thing until it's revealed Dr. Rodgers has middle fingers tattooed all over his body.

- ...the New York Giants are so bad, they make the New York Jets look mediocre.

- ...it's being rumored the Washington Football Team (WFT) will announce that their new nickname is the Admirals. Disappointing, as I was truly hoping they'd refer to themselves as WTF WFT?!?

- ...the Carolina/New Orleans game was such a dud, even Rip Van Winkle was calling it a "snoozefest."

- ..., after seeing them both on "Monday Night Football" with the Mannings, I think it's safe to say that while Snoop Dogg trusts doctors and scientists, Aaron Rodgers has been sippin' on some gin and juice.

- ..., if pick-six Stafford keeps it up, he'll be lead star in the coming show, "Six Points Under."

- ...it's a good thing Antonio Brown didn't take a knee before leaving the field on Sunday, as that would have been a serious cause for alarm.

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...
