New Jersey Senate candidate Steve Lonegan knows how to be a "real man!"

Alright, what is it with this "real man" talk the past couple of days? It was reported yesterday that a group in Tucson, Arizona was spreading around flyers about an openly gay board member at a school in the area, saying they wanted a "real man" at the position. Then today, the "real man" talk continued - this time courtesy of Republican New Jersey Senate candidate Steve Lonegan.

When talking about his opponent - Democrat Cory Booker - Lonegan said the following to Newsmax's Steve Malzberg:

"As a guy, I personally like being a guy. I don't know if you saw the stories last year, they've been out quite a bit, about how he likes to go out at three-o'clock in the morning for a manicure and a pedicure. Maybe that helps him get the gay vote, by acting ambiguous. Although I don't like going out in the middle of the night, or any time of day, for manicures and pedicures. It was described as his peculiar fetish, is how it was described. I have a more peculiar fetish: I like a good Scotch and a cigar, that's my fetish. But we'll just compare the two."

Yes, I'm sure Mr. Lonegan has many "peculiar fetishes" that only "real men" would only be able to understand, such as the following:

- "My peculiar fetish isn't manicures and pedicures. My peculiar fetish is going to the police station, taking off my shirt, and flexing my muscles while Slayer plays on my boombox!"

- "My peculiar fetish isn't manicures and pedicures. My peculiar fetish is riding my motorcycle 100 mph, off a cliff, without a helmet!"

- "My peculiar fetish isn't manicures and pedicures. My peculiar fetish is doing six chicks at once, without Viagra!"

- "My peculiar fetish isn't getting manicures and pedicures. My peculiar fetish is watching football with a burger in my right hand, a beer in my left hand, and a woman sucking my d**k!"

- "My peculiar fetish isn't manicures and pedicures. My peculiar fetish is trying to act overly-manly to compensate for my very small penis!"

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 ...
