This and That and That and This and a Bunch of other Rambling Nonsense...
You know what I find shocking about the whole revelation that Roger Clemens used steroids? The fact that so many people were surprised! You do not become a better athlete the older you get. When you’re in your 40s, I don’t care what kind of training program you have, you aren’t going to perform better than you did when you were in your 20s and 30s. Why is this so difficult for people to understand? Plus, good old Roger certainly never exhibited signs of roid rage either, did he? Ha! That guy is more tightly wound than Michael Douglas was at the end of Falling Down (great movie if you haven’t seen it, by the way).
When I went to pick up my dry cleaning on Saturday, I’ll be damned if the sweet little Asian woman who owns the joint didn’t fart right before I entered her store! I didn’t want to embarrass her, but I felt like asking, “What the hell did you eat?!?!?” It was very smelly. My guess is Kong Pao something.
Mitt Romney did not come across as a total douche bag on Meet the Press yesterday. It’s always weird, however, when a politician makes a joke on that show and laughs at it while Tim Russert remains quieter than a bunch of monks at a mime convention. This happened several times yesterday.
I still cannot believe John Edwards thinks he’s qualified to run this nation. Why does he think this? Why do other people think this? Does his hair stylist only style the hair on his head? (If not, that could explain why the bills are so high!)
I have Christmas lights in my apartment right now. I’ve never decorated any of my places in all the years I’ve lived in the Washington area. Seemed like it was time, especially considering that so many people think I’m one of Coworker #1’s people. The horror, the horror!
Shouldn’t there be a rule prohibiting coaches from instructing their teams to foul when they’re down by double digits with less than a minute to go?
Take it from me, The Devil’s Rejects is not a good Sunday morning movie. I’ll have to chalk that one up to a “seemed like a good idea at the time” moment.
Has anyone tried gmail (for more than a couple days) and NOT liked it? What’s not to like?
What’s your favorite Christmas Carol? “Do You Hear What I hear?” has awakened me nearly every morning this month. Props to Brother Fool for the awesome Ipod Alarm clock last Christmas! I’ve used it almost every single day!
I wish WABC would offer a podcast of the Imus in the Morning show. The few interviews I’ve heard him do since he’s been back have been great! Just wish I could hear more of the show.
Also wishing you a wonderful Monday (unless you’re one of the numerous idiots who almost ran into me over the weekend. If you’re one of those people, then you can go to hell.).

That 'roid story is quite something yes? I'm still bummed to hear all the names. I was in denial thinking all the athletes you know played by the rules and didn't cheat.
Sigh.

Ok Mitt wasn't a total douche. But he was mostly a douche.

Isn't the douche the more desirable part of a douche bag? Sure seems that way to me! :)

That's funny..I always assumed you were one of Coworker #1's people as well..are you sure you didn't tell us? Am I making this whole thing up?
As for roid rage, the Fiance said the same thing as you did about not improving in your 40s. I could tell sometime last year, when he and Bonds started looking like members of the Chinese women's Olympic swim team.

I certainly have never told you I'm one of Coworker #1's people. I love his people even though I constantly give him crap for being one of his people!
