President Trump proposes the Obummer ban

As he attempts to reverse everything of which former President Barack Obama approves, current President Donald Trump has proposed what he has coined "The Obummer Ban," which he outlined on his Facebook page as follows:

"Obummer destroyed this once great country, which we're gonna make great again, believe me! But look, trying to get us out of wars, giving 20 million people healthcare, rebounding us from a recession, you know, making our lives a living hell for 8 years, I think it's time we made his life a living hell too, and I'm gonna make it a bigly hell, I promise you! So I'm gonna ban turkey chili. Who likes that stuff anyway? It's turkey or chili, make up your mind! I'm also gonna ban beer. Who likes that stuff anyway? It's nasty! As I always say, 'Fear the beer!' That's true. That's so true. I'm also gonna ban M*A*S*H, Stevie Wonder, and that Gaye song, 'What's Going On?'. Mash rhymes with rash, so, I mean, that can't be good. I've had a rash before, all over, and it was not fun, people! The nurse even said to me, 'A rash on your ass, eh?' and I said, 'Big league.' That Stevie Wonder is deaf and can't hear music anyway, so what's he doing making it, and why's he always wear those glasses? Makes no sense. Also, I'm a straight Christian man, so all gay songs, especially of the Gaye variety, should be banned! Period! I'm also gonna ban Obummer's favorite movies, The Godfather I and II. Actually, I kind of like those movies. They're kind of like my life stories, so scratch that. Lastly, I'm gonna ban basketball and books. I've never liked grabbing big balls and shoving them in holes. It just puts a bad taste in my mouth, literally. ...and books? You can't spell 'books' without 'bo,' and like Obummer, books stink, bigly, believe me!"

In knowing full well the proposal will never pass and Trump will receive a great deal of blowback due to it, Barack Obama tweeted, "Please proceed, president..."

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...

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 ...
