A lot of people hate — HATE Brent Musburger; I think Hunter S. Thompson wanted to strangle him with his bare hands, but never got around to it. That being said, I think I am immune from truly hating Musburger because his weekly announcement “YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE…” at the beginning of The NFL Today way back when. He should do that for college football as well.
I kind of like the “Life Will be There Tomorrow” song that Outback Steakhouse uses in their radio spots. I like it much more than the restaurant in fact.
Over the last month Snoop Dogg has been arrested at John Wayne and Bob Hope airports. If there is a Frank Sinatra Airport what are the odds he will get arrested there in November?
How is Firefox 2? Is there anything I should know before I make the switch?
Sheryl Crow‘s “Everday is a Winding Road” has been used in commercials for at least two different car companies. I guess her songs go through car companies like she goes through men.
Recent earworms: Eastbound and Down (Jerry Reed), Nobody Bothers Me (Jhoon Rhee), that Outback song
The trend towards making nicknames from the first syllable of two words is tiresome. Enough with MoCo (Montgomery County) WaPo (Washington Post) and half the new hip neighborhoods in New York and some of wannabes in D.C. NoVa and JoePa get to stay because they predate the birth of most of the people who use MoCo or NoMa. Stop trying so hard to be cool. Nearlington also has to go, though I don’t personally know anybody lame enough to use it. That one might have worked if Arlington was shaped in such a way that there was a clearly defined northeastern section of the county.
It turns out Geno’s Steaks, the Philly cheesesteak joint that made headlines for their English only policy, uses South American beef (The Inky). Pat’s King of Steaks on the opposite corner also uses “immigrant beef” sometimes. It appears that Jim’s, my personal favorite (though I have not been to Pat’s yet), uses “USDA choice top round western steer beef.” I assume that is the western U.S.
Erica and I have only been to Woo Lae Oakwhich recently suffered fire damage to the exterior, once. It was okay, but as someone once said, “it was awfully expensive for a place where you have to cook your own food.”
I am getting annoyed waiting for Blogger Beta to be available for people who use Blogger, but have their own hosts. I want categories. I hope it has a scheduler too. Then again, since this morning’s post was delayed by 3 hours by Blogger troubles, categories should be the least of my worries.
The first frost of the season in Pentagon City was Oct. 26
For several years I have enjoyed reading Southern chef Robert St. John’s column. It appears in one of “my” newspapers. St. John is now posting the columns on a blog, so you can read them too. If I am ever in Mississippi, I will go to one of his restaurants, even though Southern food has little appeal to me.
