Miscellanea: The Pope, Starbury

An Intro to Miscellanea
Occasionally on my old blog I would post a column with a few topics which I had thoughts I wanted to write about, but in a short format instead of a whole post so I decided to combine them in a post called Miscellanea. This is the first of the Miscellanea columns [...]

No Need to Fear the Dickness

Update: I did actually find a pretty good Nascar forum at www.speed.com. It is not filled with spam and seems to focus mostly on topics related to racing, most likely due to it having a moderator who stays on top of things. In the few discussions I have had since joining the forum I have [...]

Nascar Camping World Truck Series to Race RVs Next Year

Nascar CEO Brian France announced today that the Nascar Camping World Truck Series will race RVs next year.
“Camping World has really stepped up its sponsorship efforts in a time when it is difficult to find sponsorships they have agreed to continue to be the sponsor of the Truck Series and will also become the official [...]

Rush Limbaugh Calls For Inquiry into Death of Socks the Cat

Comedian and conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh lashed out at the liberal media on Friday for trying to cover-up an investigation into the death of the Clinton’s cat Socks.
"This is just like the liberal media to take the Clinton’s word for what happened with their cat. We have seen this before ladies and gentleman. As you [...]

RockNRolla Return to Form for Guy Ritchie

Guy Ritchie is known by most people as Madonna’s ex-husband, but many of us first knew him as the British director who did a good job of making movies similar in tone and style to the earlier works of Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino made Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Ritchie made Lock Stock and Smoking Barrels [...]

The Wonder Years: Women of Kevin Arnold

Well not all of them were the women of Kevin Arnold, for example one was his sister, but I found a link to pictures of some of the females from the Wonder Years. The large picture is the picture of them grown up with the smaller one being the one from when they were on [...]

East Bound and Down 10 on Dickness Scale

I wrote the other day about how I was eagerly anticipating the premiere of the Will Ferrell produced show East Bound and Down on HBO. It premiered last night and it lived up to all of the hype.
It was the first episode and it is only a half hour show so much of the show [...]

Tony Stewart Versus Goodyear

Nascar has been hoping for a heated rivalry in recent years. Last year it was supposed to be Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch, or Kyle Busch and Dale Earnhardt Jr., or Jimmy Johnson and Carl Edwards. Unfortunately for Nascar the most heated rivalry in Nascar continues to be between Tony Stewart and Goodyear, the exclusive [...]

Jack Bauer Valentines Day Special

I was watching the latest episode of 24 on my DVR today and because there is a lot of talk about Valentine’s Day I began to think of how Jack Bauer has been unlucky in love. Most of his relationships have ended badly. Nina Myers was a lunatic. The blond played by Sarah Wynter was [...]

Sirius XM to Become DirecTV Sirius XM?

I wrote a post on my old blog about a proposed merger between Sirius XM and Lee Jeans. It was of course a gag post, but this post is not a joke and it is not a merger. There were talks the other day about Sirius XM possibly entering into bankruptcy proceedings. Also the CEO [...]
