KFC's New Hot Shot Bites

I'm not a big fan of fast food. Perhaps it's because when I was in college, I ate the stuff every day and my weight and overall well-being suffered as a consequence. After learning how to moderate my consumption of such food and losing 45 lbs., however, I will get a craving for it every now and again (once a month) - usually in the form of Culver's. Upon seeing the recent KFC ads for their new Hot Shot Bites dish, though, I suddenly had an urge to give that a gander. If there's one thing I love, it's spicy food, and after reading a couple of reviews on the dish which laid claim that it was by far and away the spiciest meal on the KFC menu, that finally pushed me over the edge to get my monthly fast-food meal.

After trying the Hot Shot Bites, I'd have to say for a fast food meal, it's pretty darn good as well as quite spicy. No, I don't have a craving for it every day now or anything. I only get that with Indian food. However, the one or two times a month I get a fast-food craving, I'm now going to be hard-pressed whether to take my services to Culver's or make my mouth burn just a bit with KFC's Hot Shot Bites. If you like spicy food and your stomach can handle fried fast-food every now and again, I'd recommend giving this new KFC dish a try. If not, then I'd probably stay as far away from it as possible.

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...

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...

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 ...
