Panic At the Sh*tshow

Whether it's just a strategy to temper expectations or goes beyond that, I've repeatedly witnessed Democrats, progressives, and liberals say, "Tuesday night's debate is going to be a disaster. Trump gets away with everything. Harris will get destroyed. We have no chance. It's over."

I can understand the Harris team playing games with the media, in order to temper expectations, but please, stop being so doom and gloom. Things are going to be okay after Tuesday night. Know how I know this? Because...

1) No Tempers on the Temper: Donald Trump's fuse is shorter than the reported mini-mushroom in his pants. Optically there's a stark difference between a 78-year-old white-trying-to-be-an-orange man behaving like an a$$hole to a fellow older white man, and said 78-year-old being an a$$hole to a 59-year-old black woman.

2) Low-Bar Joe: I love President Biden, but the main reason why he dropped out of the race was his poor debate performance. Biden-leaners, Trump-haters, moderates, college kids, etc. want to see something, anything better than the aforementioned Biden performance. In other words, the bar is lower than Barry White's voice after he places on a Darth Vader mask. Vice President Harris could just show up at the debate; give Trump a few you're-a-piece-of-sh*t side-eyes; and that would exceed their opinions of the Democratic nominee's performance from the first debate.

3) His Own Worst Enemy: Donald Trump himself is not very good at this whole debate-expectations thang. He has long called Vice President Harris "dumb," "stupid;" claimed she can't speak well nor form a complete sentence; etc. None of these claims are true, of course, which will only play to Ms. Harris's advantage - as she'll speak and not utter non-words such as: "Thighland," "Nambia," "hamberder," nor even "covfefe."

4) Donald Trumped: Donald Trump is not a good debater. Sure, he'll bust out the old hits: "Coma-la believes in abortion after birth, even though there is no such thing," "Kumala literally went to the border and carried illegals into the country," "Crayola caused chaotic inflation all over the galaxy, bigly." We've all heard that BS before, though. It's nothing new. Many will tune out as he rolls with the malarkey. Those who don't will be met with: non-words, incomplete sentences, contradictions, and mix-ups - with the result being most viewers asking themselves, "Is this guy suffering a cognitive decline, or is it just me?" Just imagine the juxtaposition of Prosecutor Harris treating Felon Trump like he was on the stand at a hearing, and Trump providing us with some of his recent record-breaking word-salads.

5) Not a 10: Former Puppet-in-Chief Trump has long judged women solely on their appearance. He's even said of Heidi Klum: "No longer a 10!" Poetically enough, said superficiality will work against him on Tuesday night. Let's be honest, both President Biden and Pervert Trump don't look like spring chickens anymore, and we all saw that in their debate. The aging, ugly, phony Trump will now have to take the stage with a younger, infinitely more physically attractive woman, in Kamala Harris. To put it lightly, this will not be to Drumpf's advantage.

So, let's all take a deep breath and try not to panic. It's going to be okay.

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...
