The First Kind

Is it wrong that when I play with Little K (which consists of me poking and prodding LRK's belly with Little K responding with kicks and punches) that I make sounds similar to the organ guy in Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

Radio Choices

On the radio, when you have the choice between listening to a classic (David Bowie - "Moonage Daydream") or a song you currently like (Jordin Sparks - "Battlefield") ALWAYS choose the classic. After Bowie, I was rewarded with GnR's "Sweet Child of Mine" and John Lennon's "Watching the Wheels" - nice!

LRK FTW!

LRK and I were watching College GameDay last Saturday (I like the whole show, she likes the "picks" segment at the end) and Chris, Lee and Herbstreit (who LRK once, hilariously referred to as "Curbstreit") were in Austin, TX referencing the "Hook 'em Horns" and "Guns Up" hand gestures of Texas and Texas Tech, respectively.

With all these Big XII hand gestures floating around, I queried LRK as to what Kansas State's would be, given the current state of the program.

Without missing a beat, she flashed something similar to the image below...



Classic. LRK FTW!

Pro Bradley

10 years ago today (September 20, 1999) Milton Bradley, then playing for the Harrisburg Senators, hit a two out, full count grand slam in the bottom of the ninth inning in the deciding game of the Eastern League Championship.

Geoff Morrow of The Patriot-News revisits the final inning. Although ol' Milton did not cooperate in contributing to the article, Morrow does solicit some first-hand accounts from players and fans of what had to have been a surreal scene.

LCTCB Pleeze

I received a "Final Notification Letter" Saturday from the Lancaster Country Tax Collection Bureau stating they had not received my 2005 tax filing and that if they didn't receive my filing by October 15 they would proceed with prosecuting me.

As Angie Tempura would say, "B!!!!!!tch, pleeze." Those Greenspans did not receive my filing because I did not live in Lancaster during 2005. I resided in the YC from April 2004 to May 2006. So, duh, I filed my local taxes in 2005 with YC.

I tried to call LCTCB today to rectify the situation but had zero luck getting through to them. Some recorded message citing a switch issue. Ugh.



Lancaster County Tax Collection Bureau? I wish they would "collect" a case of the swine flu! Ahh bitc...

Fire Sale

LeGarrette Blount jerseys (#9 for Oregon - the guy who went cuckoo for cocoa puffs in Boise Thursday and was subsequently suspended for the year - you may have heard?) are now 40% off.

Hyperizing

Wow, one post for August? Weak.

What commercials annoy you? My list includes any of the Progressive Insurance spots featuring that irritating quirky woman who reminds me of Jillian from The Bachelorette, the numbers intensively cheesy grey and yellow Sprint Mobile commercials, NBC's promos for Trauma (I really can't stand the "I love my job" chopper pilot) and Mercy, and Safe Auto's "Justin Case" series. Ugh.

My new favorite commercial (by far) is any segment of this:



Chief Blocka - Andre Igoudala
Fog Raw - Mo Williams
Velvet Hoop - Kevin Durant
Ice-O - Rashard Lewis
