I stumbled across this on the interwebs. Man, this brings back some memories. Back in the day when I was a kid, I remember sneaking to the living room after my parents went to bed and watching TV until they stopped broadcasting. Yes, back then they would stop broadcasting and call it a night. This was the network’s sign off.
Anyway, the last thing they would show is the little video and poem called High Flight. I didn’t get why they would show it at the time, but I knew as soons as that jet got airborne it was time to go back to bed. Anyway, brings back some memories.
I don’t know what the Dr. Phil crap is at the end of the video. But I don’t remember the good doctor being around those days.

So softball season began last night. Obviously, I didn’t play. But the new Softball Inc. team won both games! I’d say this is cause for celebration!
Do yourself a favor, and watch the above video until the very end. It will be worth it. Trust me.
Now I know what you’re thinking. That they won both games last night because I wasn’t playing. That may very well be true. But winning without me playing is just boring. You’ll just have to believe me on this. But I do want to thank the well wishers regarding my injury. The finger is on the mend. I’ll be flippin’ the bird in no time.
One cool thing about this team is that the jerseys being made will have names on the back that will be character names from the movie “Top Gun”. You follow? Hopefully the jerseys will be ready next week and some pics can be posted. Stay tuned.

Conan O’Brien and Walker Texas Ranger
Just wanted to publicly say thanks to Conan O’Brien for 16 years of late night hillarity. I hope he brings the same comic genius to The Tonight Show in May. But until then, I’ll have to hunt the web for classic Conan clips like the one above.
The above clip is from when he would play random clips of Walker, Texas Ranger. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then go back to watching Nick At Nite.
I just have one question for you, Olga. Does the word “splat” mean anything to you?
I’m glad there was visual evidence of this, because I had a hard time believing my little sister would do this. Wow. Gotta give you props, Olga. I’m glad you made it down in one piece.
Surprisingly, skydiving is actually on my to-do list. Right between finding a cure for hickups and testing a beef-flavored sunscreen in shark infested waters.

So I broke down and got an iPhone. It arrived yesterday and I’ve spent a decent amount of time since then trying to figure it all out. I have to say that I am damn impressed with it. I’ve always played with them at the AT&T store, but obviously you’re limited with what you can do when you’re checking out a display.
Bottom line is, it’s pretty freakin’ cool. But you all know that. Because I’m probably the last one to get one. I’m always a couple years behind.

Ummmm. Wow. This is completely insane. I wish I knew what she was babbling about. Subtitles would have come in handy. Then again, maybe I don’t want to know.
They don’t get that much crazier than this. How bad is China that a grown woman throws a tantrum like this? It can’t be that bad. Oh, wait. I forgot about that whole communist thing. Yeah…

So I’m hoping that Obama’s stimulus bill does what it’s supposed to do. The country is hurting and we need this to work. But what concerns me is our national debt. It is reaching numbers that are hard to comprehend. I mean, over 10 trillion? That’s a lot of dough.
I have an idea for paying that off. Or at least to try and make a dent into it. With all the money that Obama raised for his campaign, why not do that again? I think he should just go on tv, tell the American people what website to visit to donate, and then let her rip! The guy can be very persuading. If he can convince the American people to pony up some cash, then we can start reducing this debt in no time. And with his popularity all over the world, don’t be surprised when we see some Euros or Yen in the mix bag of donations. Bottom line is, with some enthusiasm and the twinkle of Obama’s smile, we could get this done in a few months.
I think it would be worth a shot. However, I won’t be contributing. I mean, come on. It was my idea.

Let me first start by saying it was a damn good game. I was pulling for the Cardinals, but I’ve always liked the Steelers. So it wasn’t too bad. An all around good game. Too bad there had to be a loser. Moving on…
So how about those commercials? Not too bad. There were some stupid ones, but I won’t waste time with those. What I will waste time with are these. Since I liked them. So you probably did too.
If you’re an SNL fan, you appreciated this one. MacGruber and MacGyver together? Brilliant!
Doritos can send clothes flying off women? I’m buying a bag tomorrow.
Good commercial. I want an Audi. Will getting one make me that good a driver?
This was just a funny commercial! Punching out the Koala was awesome!
Overall, the commercials this year were decent. There were a couple of years where the commercials were flat out lousy. I hope people got fired for those. Like the mechanics with the Snicker’s bar? Remember that one? Sorry to remind you. Misery loves company.
