Most of the Mustard Family is Good
Yes, yellow mustard is nasty. On the other hand, wasabi is in the mustard family and wasabi is awesome.
Maybe baby #2 for Brady?
Rumors have it that Tom Brady's current girlfriend Giselle is preggers with his baby.
Tom's ex Bridgette is already 4-month pregnant, and Giselle may be 2-month.
That's means some time before November, Brady may have 2 babies!!! He must be one horny bastard!
But what we should be concerned about is "who's gonna have the cuter baby?"

Apricots & Pomegranates
I think the Steelers made the right decision in letting Joey Porter go, but I really am going to miss the element of crazy that he brought to every game. If you live in Pittsburgh and are a Comcast customer, you should really watch the Steelers 24/7 coverage on OnDemand. Those shows have given me some good laughs over the years, none of them more than "A Day in the Life...Joey Porter," when he took viewers on a tour of his old neighborhood to show that his life hadn't all been "peaches'n'cream" but that at some points it had been "apricots and pomegranates." Apricots and pomegranates! Who says that kind of stuff? Joey Porter, that's who.

The Real Deal with the Penguins
As I am sure that you all are aware of the Penguins are talking about relocating to another city because they feel that they have reached a negotiating stalemate with city and state officials. What I don't get is why are so many Pittsburghers only mad at the city and not with the Penguins leadership? The city wants to keep them here but the Penguins are holding out for more money or whatever it is they want. They should consider themselves lucky to have such a loyal and devoted fan base even after many crapticular seasons.
So, if anyone from the Pens is reading this stay in Pittsburgh! After all we "Don't want to be like Cleveland".
On a personal note, I can't stand Mario. He's whiny and selfish and wouldn't play during the regular season but then went off and played for team Canada, won a gold medal and came back and didn't play. If the Pens leave, I will find him personally responsible.

Bizarre Cluelessness
I hesitate to even admit this. This morning I realized that there is a rather obvious reference that I've known as long as I can remember. The bizarre part is that I never realized what it meant until this morning.
It goes like this... as I was getting ready for work this morning the old drinking song, "Roll Out the Barrel" popped into my head. [I have no idea why this song popped into my head as I was putting socks on but that's a whole issue of its own and I don't have that kind of time.] Anyway... it suddenly occurred to me that the "barrel" was a keg of beer. Why wouldn't I have understood this before? Maybe it's just that I've known the song since I was young enough that I simply thought it would be fun to roll a barrel around. I don't know.
Maybe I shouldn't have admitted this.

How do they know????
Thanks to my class schedule, I am hardly ever home on Monday nights. So why is it that the times that I am home, the episodes of "How I Met Your Mother" and "Two and a half men" are repeats of the episodes I caught last time I was home on a Monday night? Why, God, why???? (shaking fist)
Also, has anybody else watched this new show with Patrick Warburton (AKA Putty) and David Spade called "Rules of Engagement"? It's on about the time I get home from class so as of late it's the only thing I catch on Monday nights. I'm not real picky about my TV, but this show is not very funny. The younger, engaged couple played by some chick and Goldie Hawn's son make me want to hit my head against the coffee table which is sad because the dude is super hot and I'd like to watch him but I can't because I'm so darn busy cringing at their lack of comedic timing and chemistry.

Continuing My Recent Terse Negativity
USA Today changed the format and layout of their website the other day. The new layout sucks.
Local News
There are all kinds of things I can say about local news. I'm usually a Channel 2 person, but lately Channel 4 has been bringing me great pleasure. Some of the stories they report on (the turkey problem in Shadyside, viewers' snow pictures) are so insipid they give me pause to reevaluate my own life and consider how well it is going compared to the lives of the tools who report these kind of stories for a living. Ouch! I say this in love, though, as anybody who knows me well knows my love for local news anchors.
That being said, today during lunch at an undisclosed location in Oakland (which I can't reveal lest the paparazzi show up for pictures of the OPP staff), I was excited to see none other than Channel 4's diva divine, Sally Wiggin. After some further investigation on the Channel 4 web site I discovered that she and several of her fellow co-anchors have their own blogs. I mean, they'll give a blog to anybody these days....Seriously. And of course, Don Schweneker's post today is a recipe for pierogies. Of course it is.

Who Freakin' Cares?
Scheisse! The people of the city of Pittsburgh has this chip on its shoulder about any time someone bad mouths it. I don't understand it.
Here's the point: some tarty little trollop who was here to film a movie made some negative comments last year and it caused a huge stir. Everyone in the city was upset, annoyed, or outraged.
At the time, people were saying things like, "Can you believe what Sienna Miller said about Pittsburgh?" to which I would reply, "Who the hell is Sienna Miller?"
I still don't really know who she is but now I recognize the name. I don't think I would recognize her if I met her on the street but I'm sure she'd tell me who she is.
Still - I have the following question for Pittsburghers: Do you think the people of New York would give a rat's ass if she said something bad about the Big Apple?

White Zinfandel
Lately, I've felt an impetus to make terse comments about (not so) important culinary issues:
I had a glass or two of White Zinfandel wine with dinner last night. White Zinfandel sucks. The only reason I drink some every now and then is to remind myself not to drink it more often. You'd think I could remember that without the torture.
Oh well.
