After three hours of driving and seeing a lot of nothing for the last two, I saw it in the distance. The lights twinkled, exposing an oasis to a thirsty traveler. This is how the crewmen on the Santa Maria must’ve felt when they first saw the New World. Land ho!!! As the lights got […]

In my younger days – yes, I’m an old fart, although I don’t yell “get off my lawn.” I just turn on the sprinklers – I’d get aggro over so many things. Someone cuts me off? I’d Bruce Banner my way into D-Fens. Player strikes out with the bases loaded? See remote here? SMASH! Remote […]

There are many reasons why I wanted to write up Will Benson this week. For starters, he’s been on an absolute heater over the last nine games, smashing six home runs in the last five contests. He also reminds me of NYC, particularly Brooklyn. My wife grew up in Bay Ridge, and Bensonhurst is a smidge […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?When I think of slumber, Sleeping Beauty always comes to mind. Serenity. Soothing sounds. Then the logos of Simmons, Sealy, and Serta start bouncing around in my head like the old-school DVD screensavers. When I shake my head to get rid of it, the voice of Larry from Sit ‘n Sleep echoes like Chinese water […]

Javier Baez has been on a heater lately. And I have streamed him and utilized him in DFS contests. Do I feel dirty? Absolutely, but I got no shame in my game. I knew that I was going to write him up for this week’s OMT, especially because I knew there were plenty of dirty […]

Emerging from the shadows, the sunlight burned my retinas, forcing my Asian eyes to squint even smaller. After the discombobulation ended, my head was hurled back suddenly as if God moved the swing arm of a protractor. As I now gazed deep into the light blue California sky, I expected to see puffs of smoke […]

I used to love watching all the home renovation shows….until I actually started doing those renovations myself. So much pain. So much blood. So many tears. I gotta say, though. Looking back at those times now, I’m glad I did them. I learned so many new skills and I garnered some street cred with the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Back in 1982, there was an epidemic of catastrophic proportions: kids all across the land were trying to launch their BMX’s into the sky…. ….thanks to the movie E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial. Anyways, the synopsis of the movie is that an extra terrestrial gets stuck on Earth and tries to get back home. After trials and […]

I was driving on the 10 freeway in Los Angeles during rush hour the other day when I had another urge to cosplay Michael Douglas in Falling Down. Being the responsible citizen that I am, I cut off multiple cars to exit, ran a red light then made my way back onto the freeway from […]

All this talk about going to Mars and colonizing it is cool and all, but I’ve seen Total Recall and I shudder at the thought of the racism from the natives when we get there. “Go back to your own planet!” “You FOSs! Why do your eyes look like that?” “You filthy, hairy beasts. We […]

India isn’t a place where American companies look to manufacture products. Rather, it became a haven for the service economy, especially for call centers. Recently, though, a plethora of office parks have been built in India by US companies for high-paying, skilled jobs in all genres of work. Despite the many fundamental problems in India, […]

Back in the biblical day, the Philistines had a mountain of a man, Goliath, who challenged the Israelites to single combat. He was massive, with accounts describing him from 6’9″ to 9’9″. The midget and guy on shrooms really widened the range of outcomes there. At the border between North and South Korea, both sides […]
