Donald Trump recites poems on open mic night

Businessman, wannabe politician, and future president of Rat Hair Club For Men - Donald Trump - has always been loved by those with short-attention spans and small vocabularies, due to how condensed and limited his seem to be, and loathed by English and Critical Thinking professors for this very same reason. Even activist mimes are often times so flabbergasted by the billionaire's commentary, after hearing Trump speak, they typically blurt out, "You've got to be f**king kidding me!" Well, Trump's linguistic eloquence was on full display this past Friday night, as he stood up front and center on open mic night at the Manhattan poetry club, "Like So Poetic and Sh*t."

For the night, Donald Trump recited three poems. The first appeared to be an ode to both himself and the band the Divinyls, as the billionaire uttered these romantic words:

"I don't want anybody else,
When I think about me I touch myself,
I don't want anybody else,
Besides my three wives."

After receiving minimal applause for his first effort, Trump decided to turn things up a notch by decreasing the modesty and increasing the politics with his second poem, saying:

"I wrote this next one while I was on the toilet in my own private jet. I had just read crap about the Confederate flag and the homo flag and this is what I came up with...

Why'd the chicken cross the road?
To get a couple beers,
Raise the flag of Southern American hero people who lost the war,
And not that of the queers."

Not only were the cheers scarce for Trump following this poem, the boos were so loud, an activist mime even grabbed a mic and shouted, "Everyone quiet the f**k down!"

For his closing act, Trump decided to put his own little twist on an old poem, saying:

"Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You're fired."

This poem generated the loudest applause, mostly in the sarcastic form, but Trump never caught on to that. He smiled, blew kisses to people in every which direction, and then stepped back up to the mic and said, "If you want to make America great again, vote Trump 2016! I'm the best, the toughest, the greatest, and poetic as sh*t!"

Following his performance, Fox News' Brian Kilmeade had nothing but praise for Trump, saying, "Those poems were absolutely groundbreaking and breathtaking! He's like another one of those Ethan Allen Poe guys!"

Manhattan's own 6-year-old poet Timmy Kawasaki felt differently about Trump's performance, however, saying, "Was that guy for real? He should be fired or something."

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...

Film Critic Steve Rhodes Has Some Issues

Normally, I don't "bash" movie critics, because what's the point? We all have different tastes in film, so who am I to say that their tastes are wrong? But, I just bumped into a critic online the other day, and I really have to wonder about him. There is not much consistency with what he likes and doesn't like. Check that, he dislikes anything with George Clooney, he either strongly likes or dislikes films dealing with politics, and he typically enjoys Arnold Schwarzenegger films. Keep in mind that this is a major film critic. This is not a guy like me who writes blog reviews after I view a film at the theaters. Also keep in mind that I'm very open-minded when it comes to films. I enjoy: comedies, dramas, science-fiction, action, suspense/mystery, horror, romantic comedies, romance, foreign, independent, satires, amongst others. It takes a lot for me to sit down, watch a film, and dislike it. There are only a few films where after the credits start rolling, I...
