What I learned in Week 15 of the NFL season

In Week 15 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...95% of dogs immediately run into their backyards after hearing Tony Romo scream, thinking it was some kind of strange of animal.

- ..., even as a rotting corpse, Elvis Presley scores more than the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys.

- ..., due to Aaron Rodgers throwing an interception, we will have to endure 3 more months of winter.

- ...Buffalo's so short on running backs, they're toying with the idea of placing a lineman in the Wildcat formation. They will call this the Wild Hippo.

- ..., after seeing them perform on Saturday night, it's all but inevitable that the Denver Broncos and Cleveland Browns will star in an off-season porno, entitled, Playing with Chubbs.

- ..., if talking produced babies, Philip Rivers would have closer to 9 trillion kids than 9.

- ...Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn has balls the size of Uranus.

- ...the Kansas City Chiefs will soon pen the book, Defending a 2-Point Conversion for Dummies."

- ..., after watching Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum's 20-second, 2-yard touchdown run, even sloths on Prozac were heard saying, "Was that slow-motion instant replay?"

- ..., when their playing days are done, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff and I've-played-everywhere-quarterback Mark Sanchez will be sitting at a bar, reliving their memories from the NFL. Sanchez will at one point say, "Hey, at least you weren't known as Mr. Butt-Fumble!" Goff will then respond, "Oh, you think that's bad? I'm known as Mr. Butt-Pick!"

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...
