Donald Trump celebrates National High Five Day

At a New York City town hall on Thursday, Donald Trump celebrated National High Five Day by high-fiving a supporter's 5-year-old boy, Stubby McSnots, after vaguely answering her question about whether or not North Korea was north or south of South Korea. When Trump hunched over and stuck out his right hand to be slapped by the boy, due to the size of the GOP front-runner's hands, Stubby reached out with two fingers in order to complete the process. When I later asked Stubby why he did that, here's how he responded:

"He has tiny hands. They're the size of my matchbox smart cars. I was gonna ask if he wanted to do a thumb-war, but that wouldn't have been fair, since my thumb is the size of his hand, you know?"

After getting relentlessly mocked about the incident on Twitter, Trump released the following statement:

"Look, you can all have your fun, but we all know that cameras add five pounds to kids' hands and take away five pounds from my hands. It's science, people. Speaking of science, I know a guy who knows a guy who had this friend who had a third cousin who did this study one time which said the smaller one's hands appear on camera, the bigger one's sausage is, if you know what I mean. They don't call me little smoky for nothing, folks. It's yuuuge!"

In light of this incident, anti-Trump protesters nationwide now provide one another with the peace sign to symbolize giving the GOP front-runner a high-five.

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 ...
