Girlfriend Application

Name:
(Note: If your name is Halle Berry, you automatically qualify.)

Age:
(You must be between the ages of 18 and 87.)

Job:
(Strippers and prostitutes can qualify, politicians can not.)

Criminal History:
(As long as you never made an appearance on America’s Most Wanted, I won’t fret too much.)

Education:
(You must have passed kindergarten to be eligible.)

Kids:
(If you had octuplets at one time or named any of your children after one of Santa’s reindeer, you will be automatically disqualified. Also, it is of no relevance if your child has a red nose.)

Appearance:
(If you look like any of the following, you will be ahead of the game: Halle Berry, Salma Hayek, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn or Lance Bass.)

Personality:
(A great personality is a must, but if when describing you, friends ONLY mention your personality, then I’m afraid you’re out of luck.)

Sense of humor:
(If you can’t distinguish between sarcasm and seriousness, you will be bopped on the head with a sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel and not be eligible.)

Speech:
(If you speak more quickly than someone does Spanish, more slowly than someone whom works at Wal-Mart, are as monotone as Ben Stein or use more clichés than a football coach, you will have to induce migraines elsewhere.)

Sociability:
(If you can stimulate a deep conversation with a mime, preferably regarding Plato’s Cave, you will automatically reach the finals.)

Fashion:
(If you wear a five-piece swimsuit at the beach or a football uniform at a bar, I’m afraid you will have to either move to Europe or find yourself a girlfriend.)

Politics:
(If you thought George W. Bush was an eloquent speaker, I will know you didn’t get past pre-school and due to that, you will not be eligible to be my girlfriend and hopefully not eligible to vote.)

Religion:
(I’m pretty flexible when it comes to religion, so long as you’ve found Jesus.)

Sex:
(If you’re willing to engage in a one-night stand, you will not be eligible. If you’re willing to prolong the one-night stand for a full weekend, I’ll think about it.)

Habits:
(The only thing you’re allowed to smoke is crack. If you smoke cigarettes or cigars, I’m afraid it’s not going to work between the two of us.)

Hobbies:
(As long as you like everything I like, we’re cool. This would include: Developing Tourette’s Syndrome in a church, chasing tornadoes in a golf cart, streaking around the White House and playing chess while drunk.)

Music:
(If you believe that Fred Durst is as good a writer as Bob Dylan and/or Nickelback is as musically talented as Led Zeppelin, I’m afraid you will not be eligible and I suggest you buy some hearing aids).

Movies:
(If you can not accept the fact I don’t want to see “The Notebook,” I suggest you find a gay man and see how that works.)

Sports:
(If you partake in any of the following “sports,” you may well be on your way to the finals: Playing tennis with a football, bowling with a pinball, playing baseball with a cannonball, playing golf with a basketball or curling.)

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...
