Sweet Sweet Sweat

Reposted and edited.  Or revised.  Whatever. I was recently watching tennis, the French Open.  One of my favorite sports events ever is Wimbledon.  That and the U.S. Open (tennis version) are bittersweet because Wimbledon marks the beginning of summer, ironically culminating around July 4, and the U.S. Open sadly marks the end of summer.  However,…

don’t even reply

Reposted from about three years ago, because it’s damn funny… ______________________ Someone recently came to me with a website and said, “Hey, is this your website?  Are you responsible for this?” I checked it out and thought two things: 1. It was damn hilarious. 2. While I was very flattered that I came to mind,…

New Yorker caption contest #338

So, like last time, you can put your caption here as a comment.  But better yet is to click on the picture, go to the New Yorker magazine website, and enter your caption in their contest.     Harry, I already looked.  There aren’t any spells for “shrinkage.” It’s a combination of Harry Potter and Seinfeld, so…

“You Suck!” “No! YOU suck!”

Reposted from 2 years ago – because i love baseball. Can’t we all just get along?  Not when it’s time for the New York version of the Civil War.  This weekend is Yankees and Mets, rounds 1, 2, and 3 as those from the Queens, NY, pay a visit to Yankee Stadium to play the…

Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo”

Item 74 in a 50-part series of classic movies that I never saw, should have seen, but didn’t because of various reasons that weren’t my fault: Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo. Please keep in mind that this is partly a discussion for people who have seen the movie and a review for those who have not.  There…

re-post: there’s no such thing as multi-tasking

because you never saw it before, and i like it— There is no end to what we will say to allow ourselves to feel better about things that we should not feel better about.  Large men will rub their beer bellies and claim that women find it “sexy.”  Sometimes they will say they’re not heavy,…
