Lame Lamé

Ironic or appropriate that Lame and Lamé are spelled so much alike?

Wallows in Lameness: Jeter Gold Glove

Wallows in lameness:  Derek Jeter won another Gold Glove award.   Managers and coaches vote on players in their own leagues.  This system is seriously messed up.

cell phone stores are so lame

I’ll never go to a store to get a cell phone again. I ‘ll always buy online.   A tale of 2 shopping experiences.

The lame experience:  Couple of years ago, it took about 2 hours at the AT&T store to get my new phone.  A lot of the time the sales guy was  fumbling around to get the phone activated (I don’t think he knew what he was doing though he claimed the “system” was down but it a chance for him to sell me stuff I did not want). Store was crowded and cramped. While the network was “down,” the sales guy kept trying to sell me a different phone, then a warranty, then accessories.   Awful. Lame-o-rama.

The easy-peasy not lame experience: The next time I needed a new phone I bought it online from amazon.  Lots of choices. I even found a great phone for 1 cent. Plus, I changed carriers and kept my old number. Easy peasy and phone worked great.

Grady Sizemore Cries Foul Over Photos He Took of Himself

Boo hoo, but actually kind of funny in a lame, pathetic way.  Major League Baseball player Grady Sizemore took  ”personal” (steamy, racy) photos of himself.  Now the photos are all over the internet and Mr. Sizemore has the lawyers of Major League Baseball chasing down all the websites demanding the photos be removed.   Photos are staying up at deadspin.com (warning: not safe for work for many workplaces) which I give credit to for not caving.

Sizemore, center fielder for the Cleveland Indians, salary was $4,766,666 last year yet called in a posse of MLB lawyers. MLB lawyers are lame to waste their time on a sophomoric act gone wrong.  Anyone who thinks digital photos don’t circulate, has rocks for brains.

Say “Angels” & I Think of George Carlin

The Christmas emails from merchants are already rolling in fast and strong. One just in from JCPenney has the subject: “We Believe In Angels!”

Here’s a fabulously funny bit from the comic George Carlin about angels:

“Here’s another question I’ve been pondering – what is all this sh** about angels?  Have you heard this?  Three out of four people belive in angels.  Are you f***ing stupid?  Has everybody lost their mind?  You know what I think it is?  I think it’s a massive, collective, psychotic chemical flashback for all the drugs smoked, swallowed, shot, and obsorbed rectally by all Americans from 1960 to 1990.  Thirty years of street drugs will get you some f***ing angels, my friend!”

Play That Funky Music White Boy!

No more Raffi for my pre-school son.  He has a new groove!  Here is his newest favorite song.  I recently found a radio station that plays the “greatest hits of the 60s and 70s.”  Have yet to hear a commercial on it.
