the shins - pink bullets
random thoughts for a lazy sunday.
How many men in spandex is too many? It was confirmed yesterday at our radio station's bike rally that being surrounded by 600 men in spendex makes eye contact extremely important.
For some reason, I have become quite fond of the word "betwixt."
Does anyone over the age of 12 use the term "french kiss?" Do 12 year-olds even still use it or has it become completely outdated?
I love knowing that I probably drive the only Toyota Camry on the planet that is decorated with a Skull and Crossbones air freshener. How many pirates drive Camrys? Not enough, is the correct answer.
Pedro was on fire last night. 7 innings, 11 strikeouts, one earned run, and the W.
I have apparently scored tickets to the Eagles/Cowboys Monday night game here in November. I'll be going with my boss, who is a Cowboys fan, and two other people I work with. It's a Promotions Department outing, if you will. Should be interesting. I will bring the noise.
After a brief discussion a few posts ago concerning women who love sports, I think this is something that needs more exploring. The following things interest me: Why do I love sports so much? Why do we all love sports so much? Why do so few women love sports? Why is it hard for men to accept women who are knowledgeable and passionate about sports? Sadly, I'm way too exhausted to get into this today. But it's coming....
And this.
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) - Charlie Daniels will not perform a song criticized by
Arab-Americans when he appears at a weekend festival in this Detroit-area
community, the center of southeastern Michigan's 300,000-member
Arab-American community.
Daniels wrote and recorded "This Ain't No Rag, It's a Flag" after the Sept.
11 terror attacks. It became a country hit, but critics said it refers to a
slur against Arabs.
The song begins: "This ain't no rag, it's a flag and we don't wear it on our
heads. It's a symbol of the land where the good guys live. Are you listening
to what I said?"
"Ragheads" is a derogatory term for Arabs, Muslims and others who wear
turbans or cover their heads.
That song became a country hit. A hit! It's times like these that I'm really proud to be an American.
