Lorde's "Royals" song gets temporarily banned in San Francisco

The World Series between the San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals is officially underway. In light of this, apparently two San Francisco radio stations (KFOG Radio and 96.5 KOIT) have decided to ban Lorde's "Royals" song until the World Series is over. Personally, I think this is kind of a silly move, but, eh, whatever. Well, based on this story, here's a list of what the city of San Francisco would likely do if the Giants faced one of the other fourteen American League teams.

Baltimore Orioles - Oreos will not be sold because they sound too much like Orioles.

Boston Red Sox - Anyone wearing a red stocking on their head will be banned, including Santa Claus.

Chicago White Sox - No one will be allowed to wear socks. If they wear socks with flip-flops, they'll be permanently barred from the city.

Cleveland Indians - IDs will be checked at the gate and for anyone with the first name of Christopher or the last name of Columbus, they'll be asked to leave, get drunk, claim to discover a bar and call it a library. From that point forward, bartenders at the place will be called librarians.

Detroit Tigers - Anyone with a boombox playing the song "Eye of the Tiger" will be knocked out by a security guard wearing boxing gloves, and when this occurs, the guard will yell out, "Yo, Adrien! I did it!"

Houston Astros - If someone appears to be a member of the Jetsons, they will not be allowed in the stadium. This will especially be the case for anyone who hums the Jetsons' theme song.

Los Angeles (of Anaheim) Angels - Angels in the Outfield won't be aired anywhere in the city during the World Series. If the Angels win the series, it will never be aired in San Francisco again.

Minnesota Twins - Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger will not be allowed at any of the games.

New York Yankees - Any overweight men whom simultaneously smoke a stogie and drink a beer will be asked to leave. If their last name happens to be Ruth, they'll be asked to never return.

Oakland Athletics - Anyone sporting green and yellow and walking like they're cool will be told to leave and to do some shopping with their girlfriends or gay buddies.

Seattle Mariners - Sleepless in Seattle will be barred from the city indefinitely, regardless of whether the Giants win or lose the series.

Tampa Bay Rays - If anyone pokes fun at tuberculosis by wearing attire with the letters TB on it, they'll be asked to leave and to take some sensitivity classes.

Texas Rangers - Chuck Norris will be told he's not allowed in the stadium. Chances are he'll wind up in there anyway, however.

Toronto Blue Jays - People who seem so nice, you think, "Well, they have to be from Canada," will be asked to leave, and not to come back until they get some attitude.

Another look at "The Nightly Show" with Larry Wilmore

After its first week, I gave The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore a B+ grade. While I didn't think the show appeared to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I also liked the Daily Show  meets Politically Incorrect vibe I got from it, and thought, with the proper adjustments, the show would indeed provide a great fill-in for The Colbert Report . In the show's succeeding weeks, however, I've been less impressed by it and think that if it doesn't make certain adjustments, it could be in jeopardy of losing many long-time viewers of the show's time slot. One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...

My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"

Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html

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...
