Donald Trump Wins National Modesty Award

To everyone's surprise except for his own, Donald Trump presented himself with the first (and possibly last) National Modesty Award today. When accepting his own award for modesty, Trump had this to say:

"I am both proud, honored, and humbled to present myself with this award for modesty today. I would first like to thank the committee, comprised of just myself. I would next like to thank me, because without me, none of this would have been possible. Lastly, I'd like to thank my father, for pushing me to be so rich, so successful, and so awesome, for inspiring me to do it all on my own, thanks in part to the $1 million he gave me, but mainly thanks to what I did with that very very small sum of $1 million. I mean, the $1 million is pretty irrelevant when you think about it. Suppose for a second my father didn't give me the $1 million. Suppose I had to start from scratch, was all on my own, I'd... Where was I going with this? I... Uh... I'd still be here today, with the same kind of money, the same kind of wives, the same kind of hands - yuuuuge ones, folks. I guarantee it. I guarantee it. No, I wouldn't have been able to make more money out of $1 million if my dad didn't give it to me in the first place, but he did and I did, so like, yeah, I built that. Where was I? Oh yes, speaking of modesty, listen folks, you can't spell 'awesome' or 'modesty' without 'Donald,' without 'Trump,' and without 'me,' am I right? So, anyway, in conclusion, I'm grateful for this modesty award I gave myself today and am going to walk away with my head held high today knowing I'm more awesome and modest than all of you losers combined! Thank you, goodnight, and don't forget to purchase something from the Trump catalogs I passed around to everyone. Those giant Trump foam hand thingies are hot right now, so get them while you can! Your babies are going to love them!"

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 ...
