Marco Rubio has a dream!

Florida Senator and GOP presidential hopeful Marco Rubio recently went to Liberty University to talk to students and try to provide them with one reason to vote for him, He closed the appearance by answering some students' questions. For the most part, the question-and-answer session went fairly well, as Rubio's responses were light-hearted, wanting to present himself in a fun and carefree way. With regard to the final question and answer, however, things got rather interesting, so interesting that the exchange is already trending on Twitter, not even a minute after it took place.

For the final question, Liberty University Senior Christian Sirmixalot asked, "Senator Rubio, if you could go back in time, what's the one thing you've dreamt you could have done more than any other?"

Senator Rubio paused at first, before smiling and saying the following: 

"That's an interesting question. Usually when I get asked such questions, especially if I'm pressed for time, I tell the person, 'I may have to get back to you on that,' but not now. Oddly enough, I've thought about this very thing a lot, so I know exactly how to answer your question. A lot of the other candidates, if they were asked this question, they'd probably say they'd go to the Last Supper, kill Hitler, or invent the Internets, but me? I'd take Gandhi out for a big juicy steak. I mean, sure, I love war and bombs and stuff, yet I still always found Gandhi to be an inspiration. Some people would liked to have sat down and had a beer with the guy, but I'd like to take him to an Outback Steakhouse and see a big smile on his face as he munched on some beef. I don't know this for certain, but I have a feeling Gandhi was a big filet mignon kind of guy, you know? He and I could sit there, as we're eating, and discuss things like politics, religion, war, peace, and just why beef tastes so darn good. So yeah, that's always been my dream. Well, I thank you all for coming. God bless you and God bless the United States of America!"

As I write this, #BeefEatingBuddiesRubioAndVegetarianHinduGandhi is the top trend on Twitter.

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...
