Well Done!

Teddy Sheringham scored the first of West Ham United's two goals in their 2-1 win over Blackburn Rovers today.

He scored his first professional goal in 1984.

The End

Here are some people I've had enough of- the limit came a long time ago for some of them, but I've never made a list of them yet.

Madonna: when you moved to England I wasn't supposed to have to hear about you any more.
Michael Vick: you might be a great athlete, but you're never going to win the Super Bowl.
Dennis Miller: From hysterically funny to Rush Limbaugh, Jr. Just sad.
Chris Berman: You've gone from slightly annoying and cheesy to ubiquitous and obnoxious.
Oprah Winfrey: Has there been a cult of personality like this since Stalin? Mao?
Terrell Owens: He makes me wish Jack Tatum was still playing. (Look him up)

More to come later...

It's been a while...

...so here are some more things I can't stand!

-clogs of any kind.
-greeting cards that say anything inside.
-polo shirts regardless of brand.
-Oprah and Dr. Phil
-turquoise and silver jewelry.
-Coldhead, or is it Radioplay, I can't keep them straight.
-non-Apple computers.
-people who think knitting is hip.

A best one-liner I've heard in quite a while

"Dude, he's Jersey, he skis in his jeans!"

This makes me smile

On his tour of the Scottish Highlands Dr. Samuel Johnson remarked to James Boswell that in England oats were given to horses and not to men. To which Boswell responded:

"Which is why England is noted for its horses and Scotland for its men."

nuff said.

Dear Emo kids...

...I'm the last person in the world who is going to tell you what to wear (though I've just about reached my limit on boys wearing girls jeans and too tight not-really-vintage t-shirts) or how to cut your hair or to stop rocking the Buddy Holly glasses or that white belts (even if they have metal studs) are for old men who've retired to Florida, but please, please, I'm begging you, EAT!

More thoughts on grammar

I'm pretty sure that my IQ drops a few points whenever I hear somebody say, "...often times..."

How is that in any way different than simply saying, "often"?

Just wondering.

Scotland 1 France 0

O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

The Hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves
lie thick and still,
O'er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

Those days are past now,
And in the past
they must remain,
But we can still rise now,
And be the nation again,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

0 Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
your like again,

Scotland v. France

Tomorrow is a HUGE day for the Tartan Army.

A loss would hurt, but not yet be crippling (though it might seem that way down the road).

A draw would result in a fist pump and a belief that Scotland might actually be able to qualify for Euro 2008.

A win would cause me to pass out. The odds of reviving me afterward would be about 50/50.

C'MON SCOTLAND!!

Dear Robin Williams...

...it's over. I wish you health, happiness, and sobriety, but your "act" is just done. I think there was a time when you were funny, though it seems longer and longer ago each time I see you hamming it up, and up, and up.

So, good luck with the rest of your life, but please, you're making me uncomfortable.

Again, work on your vocabulary!

I don't know what it is about football commentators, but I find myself having to point out that "Anecdote" and "Antidote" have different meanings.

yeesh.
