Re: OS Off Topic

Just saw Semi-Pro. It was a cool movie with some funny parts, but I expected something more hilarious. I liked the song, though.

I rented that a couple days ago, decent movie, not great.

Re: OS Off Topic

Yesterday my brother and his family came to my parents (my wife and I went to my parents for lunch). So I played chess vs my 7 year-old nephew. Last time he beat me (would you believe?!), and this timeI beat him. Not because I played well (honestly, before the previous time, the last time I played chess was about 15 years ago), but because the boy was so sure that he was gonna win and that he's smarter than anyone. I didn't say a word, just let him make his own mistakes. I tried to teach him that he's not the smartest kid in the world (for now), but he can be if he works hard.
Now, after the game he started behaving really really bad! My dad got angry, my brother and his wife got angry and my wife really didn't like the atmosphere he had created. I guess the kid hates to lose and it's great, but I want to teach him that you must work hard to win, and that you can't beat everyone in one day. When he realizes this, he'll make the first step to being a winner.
God, I love this kid!

Hmm, my series of bored, late-night internet searches led me to discover that Joel McHale of E!'s "The Soup" was on the National Championship-winning '91 Washington Huskies football team

Interesting, I never would have thought he was a CFB player, much less say for an MNC caliber team. I love The Soup!

Here's a part from the Washington Post article it was in

How did you wind up on the Washington football team?

Well this is a good story. I was recruited to row, because I'm like 6-4. No one watches rowing and no one cares, so you have to make up for this by being huge jerks. So I didn't push a chair in properly or I stepped over some line that the senior rowing crew was eating on, so they cleared the table and surrounded me and actually hit me. So I thought it's going to be 10-on-one, I'm probably not going to win this fight. So after that I thought I probably can't go back to rowing. So my friend Chico Fraley said why don't you go out for football, so I went out for football not really knowing a lot about football, but I was a big, huge guy at that point. The football players weren't jerks because they were worried about winning a national championship instead of rowing under the appropriate bridge. So I spent two years on the team [as a tight end].

Did you ever play?

No, I was horrible. I basically lied to get on the team. It was practically almost a dare: Come out for football. The coach was asking me all these questions, like, 'So, where'd you play' -- 'Oh, at my high school.' I played freshman football. They didn't ever figure it out. I became big enough and fast enough that I was able to fool them. My 40-yard dash got to 4.6, and they were happy with that. I was 250, I looked and acted like a football player. . . . It just shows you: If you have a dream, just lie about it. Lie your way unto your dreams.

Whenever life is great for some people, other people have terrible times. That's life, it's impossible that everyone will have good times. Try to enjoy your good time and remember it. No one knows what is waiting ahead...(hopefully nothing bad, but still).

So, switching to dial-up sucks.

But on the bright side, I now get MASN which means all Orioles, all the time...very nice.

Yeah but then you gotta deal with Jim Palmer (what an arrogant punk) and Buck Martinez (while good, he doesn't have that great of a chemistry with Gary Thorne IMO)

So i'm going to get my eyes (or rather eye) tested for new glasses. I've been needing a new RX for some time now.

I couldn't imagine going back to dial up.
