Not Cool.

Not Cool

 

I always liked to think I was cool when I was younger. People told me I was cool without me soliciting an opinion. Even up until recently, I still felt like I was a cool guy. You may disagree, but that doesn’t matter. If I’m cool in my mind, then I’m cool. That all changed this week. Here’s my story.

My wife was involved in a minor traffic accident recently. Nothing major, she was yielding at an intersection and waiting to merge over, when some idiot hit her from behind. His explanation was that he wasn’t looking in that direction.

I don’t know what they’re teaching in driver’s education these days. When I took it, we were taught that you should look in the direction your vehicle is moving. In this case, when moving forward, look at what’s in front of you! He probably had an important text to send and looking where he was going wasn’t a priority at the time. [Read more…]

Snow Mower

This year, we can’t seem to make it to Spring. 80 degrees and cutting grass one day and snowing the next. That’s why I think everyone needs a Snow Mower.

That’s what the groundhog keeps saying anyway.

Philadelphia With a P.

Philadelphia…With a P.

 

Philadelphia sports fans have long been regarded as the worst as far as being rude and obnoxious. These are the people that booed Santa Claus as they pelted him with snowballs when he appeared at an Eagles game. How many people didn’t get the bike or the puppy they wanted for Christmas? What else could cause that kind of hatred toward Jolly Saint Nick? Oh, besides being an obnoxious jerk.

You probably already heard about their latest obnoxious episode that occurred at Sunday’s playoff game between the Flyers and Penguins. The story is that somebody placed photos of Sidney Crosby inside every urinal at Wells-Fargo Center.
