Worst Ever

Worst Ever

 

Admit it, the Super Bowl sucked. I couldn’t have been more bored if I was watching “The Bachelor” marathon. First of all it was New England again, for I believe the twentieth straight year. The Rams looked like they didn’t belong there…probably because they didn’t belong there.

The commercials were boring, the half-time show was a joke…it was awful. No Danny DeVito as an M&M challenging people to eat him. No Lady Gaga flying in from the top of the stadium…Nothing but the Rams punting.

Even in blow out games, at least one team was at least scoring or there was a decent half-time show with costume malfunctions.

My friend Mark Petrucelli suggested bringing back “Up With People” for the half-time show. Would you have noticed the difference?

If you’re unaware of “Up With People,” they’re a bunch of clean cut kids singing crappy upbeat songs with a positive message. How could that have been worse than Maroon 5?

Who Cares

Who Cares?

 

It’s supposed to be a bonus holiday. Even if you’re teams not in it, you have an excuse to drink and stuff your face with chicken wings, pizza and nachos. A much needed day to break up the brutal months of January and February.

Not this year though. I have no interest in this game. I’m tired of watching New England every year. Of course their obnoxious fans aren’t tired of this. When you can make Philadelphia fans seem like decent human beings, you’re despicable.

Maybe you’ll be watching the game to root against the Patriots, like we do most years. This year you’ll be cheering on the Los Angeles Rams, which is more than they’ll be doing in L.A.

The Big Storm?

 

The Big Storm?

 

January 19, 2019

 

I’m hand writing this by candlelight. This is a result of the power outage caused by the snow storm raging outside. Hopefully it will be days and not weeks before the power is restored and I will be able to post this online. Thankfully we have enough milk, eggs, bread and toilet paper to get us through until June.

Yeah right…what a rip off! It was all we heard for a week. The big storm coming at us for the weekend. No weather person would go on record and tell us exactly how much snow we would get. Only that it was going to be a lot.

“We’re going to get at least this much and maybe more.”

I should’ve realized from all the sleazy club owners I’ve worked for through the years. You never get the more.

So with the big storm coming Saturday, the stores were packed with panicked shoppers on Friday. Everybody was stocking up with enough supplies to last until summer when we could once again leave our homes. Can you explain why in the hell anybody has to buy rolls of toilet paper by the gross?

Which Way Do I Go?

Which Way Do I Go?

 

Just got home from a show in Elmira, New York. Out of planes, trains and automobiles, going by car was the fastest and most convenient. So, as I set out on my journey, I looked at my GPS app for the fastest way at the time.

There were three different options, each adding a supposed ten minutes to the trip. I never go by the original estimated time. That’s only a challenge to defeat. You have to look at the best way to avoid weather, trucks, tolls, police, construction and idiots. If you drive as much as I do, you know where any of these give you the most concern. Especially idiots.

If John’s original estimated time is five hours and he plans to go at least ten miles over the speed limit the whole way, when will John arrive?

I would’ve done much better in school with these types of personal word problems.
