Why Tigers eat their young

ebay

A friend of mine is currently trying to sell much of her belongings on EBAY. I tried selling my soul on EBAY once but did not get any bidders. I was contacted by one fellow who wanted to know if I could post a photo of my soul to help him decide if he wanted to bid….and I was also contacted by a member of an obscure pagan cult in Alabama that was very interested…but who balked at the $4.99 Shipping charge I was asking.

Next time we get low on funds, I may try to sell my sense of humor….though I fear it also may go without any bids.

Happy November! It was 75 degrees here today. Brrrrrrrr I may have to start wearing socks…..

A local radio station has already started streaming 24hrs a day of Christmas Music on their website and will go to 24hrs a day on the radio after Thanksgiving.

We were in a Kohl’s Saturday and they already had Christmas stuff up. Bah-humbug.

While in Kohl’s, I was assigned the task of helping my son pick out some new basketball shoes for his upcoming season. My wife gave me strict instructions to NOT buy any shoes that had any BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, ORANGE, BLACK, SILVER, or RED in them in that these were the colors of all of our district opponents.

I bought him a pair of brown flip-flops.

I think a slackjawed drooling idiot would be able to explain the theory of relativity easier than it would be for ANYONE in the NCAA to explain how exactly the BCS rankings are obtained. Personally, I think it is just a group of lab monkeys in some research facility crapping all over some buttons and dials and as a result, whatever the computer spits out…..that is your BCS rankings!

The kid can play “Yellow Submarine” on our piano with just one hand. I drank way too much in college one night and thought I saw a Yellow Submarine submerging in the middle of a shopping mall though what that memory has to do with my son’s musical talent is confusing even to me.

At this stage in life, just trying to remember how to breathe manages to confuse me.

A passenger in the airport one day asked me how come they do the announcements for the MEXICANA AIRLINES flight to Mexico City in “Mexican” on the Airports PA system. I told her that they were doing the announcements in SPANISH. She then remarked…. “MEXICANA flies to Spain from here?”

Listening to Idiot’s like that, I now know why Tigers eat their young.

In the past week, I have gotten autographs from Lee Grant, Billy Crystal, and Angie Dickinson…..or as my smart aleck son puts it….”An old fart and two old broads…”

My son remarked yesterday that 40yr old NFL Quarterback Brett Favre needs to retire for good because he is “so dang old!!”. When I told him that Brett Favre was younger than his own Mother and I, the kid just laughed….”Look at you Dad! Your at Death’s door already!!”
