National Champs?
Do you realize that if LSU loses to Alabama, Mississippi, or Arkansas in the next three weeks and OSU wins out against Purdue and Michigan (no easy task) that they could easily move up to number two in the BCS rankings and play for another national championship? They would probably get their butts kicked by Oklahoma, but wouldn’t that be fun? Oklahoma hasn’t seen a defense like OSU so far this year, and OSU is finally hitting their offensive stride.
Couch vs. Holcumb
Since this summer, Cleveland has been embroiled in a QB controversy. I think it is finally time to declare an end to the madness. The Sports Guy has shown me the error of my ways. This week he was quoted with this:
“And when it comes right down to it, the Holcombe-Couch QB Controversy has to be the funniest ongoing battle since Cuba Gooding Jr. and Horatio Sanz were arguing over top billing in “Boat Trip.”… ” END QUOTE!
This just in, Holcumb and Couch are both the caliber of solid backup QB’s. They should never start the majority of their team’s games in any year. Calling all XFL and CFL re-treads, we have a job for you if you can be the next Kurt Warner.
Todd Takes on Punk
Somehow Todd worked this blast into his fridayfive this week. This is one of the reasons Todd and I are friends. We don’t cater to the “scene fashion” based on the style of music we like. Although, Todd does have a courier bag. I will overlook it.
“People shopping at Hot Topic. Why the fuck do you go there? Why buy an “Anti-Crombie” shirt, which is more expensive than the shirt in the actual Abercrombie store upstairs? And, oh yeah, listening to Thursday and Dashboard Confessional while you’re crying about your ex (who you only dated for two months) in your suburban bedroom just before you take off the black makeup and wristbands and sit down for a nice dinner with mommy and daddy doesn’t make you punk rock. If you want to be the outsider at school, gain 100 pounds.”
Rock On Todd.

I Take Care of My Kids
I would truly like to think that if and more likely when I have kids of my own, that I will be able to think of most of my actions in terms of them. Raising kids (from what I can tell) is a very fragile operation and there are lots of opportunities to mess them up big time. I hope I can think about these things and not ruin them. This seems like it should be the fundamental job of a parent. I hope I can be that selfless.
Sometimes I can only tell you guys a portion of the story.
Music Reviews
Recently due to my participation on BlogCritics.org a lot of my music reviews have been ending up being picked up in a music reviews section on Cleveland.com. Coming soon, you might be able to see my reviews on many other similar community sites like Cleveland.com.
Tenacious D Take Over World
“as you can see, kyle and I are depicted as brave warriors
the unicorn we ride represents the uncontrollable power of our new found celebrity
we are like children astride a juggernaught of destruction
but we ride on with courage…to a destination unknown”
-Jack Black on Amazon promoting new Tenacious D DVD
The D was schooled by Satan I will have you know!
(I will also have you know that Deezo has claimed that Jack Black is unfunny and he doesn’t like him, so feel free to mock him as Jables has become the largest star in the known universe with his acting and his part in the greatest rocking revolution in the history of rocking. Deezo is neither fueled, nor schooled by Satan.)
I Will Get You Wabbit
It is not a good idea to piss off the fans of Looney Toons. Fans of the famous cartoons are upset with a recent DVD package that doesn’t include some integral Looney Toons moments like the famous “What’s Opera Doc” and the on-screen debut of one singing Michigan J. Frog! I am up in arms too. I take children’s entertainment, specifically cartoons VERY seriously. If I don’t get my way, I will probably be hopping mad and be forced to jump up and down on my hat. Or maybe I will have to hand deliver a comically deadly dose of acme weaponry.
