Last week’s weenie was:
The friggin’ dude who slapped Craig Biggio’s wife!
How is this something that pops into anyone’s head at a World Series game? Yes, I want to slap this woman. That’ll show them! The misbehavers at all sports events are beyond me. From the soccer fans, to the father/son team [...]

Weenie of The Week
The Top Five Scary Stories Of All Time
It is Halloween. Sam Hain’s day. So, I thought I would put down some thoughts about scary stories. These are the camp fire stories. The ones you tell after dark to scare yourselves. It’s important when you tell these stories to pretend they’re real. So you should always say, [...]
Oscar Wilde & the bon mot
I watched An Ideal Husband last night. And I was amused at just how witty Oscar Wilde was. And I remembered how in an essay I had read(in the back of a John Irving book) that John Irving had such a problem with Wilde. Why? Because Wilde had dissed (pretty harshly) [...]
Goober Peas
Siobhan and I were just reminiscing about that old song “Goober Peas”. And I was realizing, hey, wait a second—what the hell are goober peas?

The Greatest (read Longest) Game Ever Played

Every year, and I mean EVERY year, there are some games like this. These games were they are just getting started at midnight. And when you are thinking oh, I should just go to bed, you should really start to order some wings or mozarella [...]

It’s Marcus Camby. From the Post last week:
‘Nuggets center Marcus Camby, who will earn $9.3 million this season, suggested the NBA provide a stipend [...]
Fogeys On Parade
Joe Buck just said, “This joint is jumpin’!”
Dude, you’re like 45 years old. Don’t say that. Just don’t.
The Name Game
The barber shop on my corner changed its name. It used to be “London’s Best Haircuts”. Now, it has become “Traffic” haircuts.
Even though LBH made little sense since I live in New York, “Traffic” haircuts sounds really unappealing. What does that say about haircuts? I want a haircut that looks good [...]
The Goat Dog
So if you’re watching football this Sunday—you should turn on ESPN’s Sunday Night Countdown. I’m going to be on this spot for Kenny Mayne’s the Mayne Event. Around 12:30 pm. I will be playing The ‘Goat Dog’.
