Random Rants - Volume One
You can't take just anything you like and put "nation" after it. I hate to admit it but there is only one nation that is legit and somewhat original, and that's Raider Nation. I listen to ESPN sports radio station on my way to and from the cubicle, and I heard this add for the Clippers, about how the only thing that matters is the name on the front of the jersey, blah, blah, blah, and then it something about the "Clipper Nation" REALLY ?!, there is a Clipper Nation. Come on. My daughter’s high school teams are named the Vanguards, am I part of the Vanguard Nation. Please, whatever meta physical power that controls the universe, do not ever let anyone ever, ever use the term Charger Nati......
In another clear and present display of how money and greed corrupt and ruin things, one only has to witness the recent college bowl season. After a remarkable regular season, that was one of the best ever, to cap it off with the crap the BSC put together was shameless. We have neither the traditional bowl schedule, with the Pac Ten winner playing the Big Ten winner in the Rose bowl, etc. and we don't get a playoff system. We have Georgia kicking the snot out of Hawaii, USC pummeling Illinois, and Ohio State once again going belly up in the Championship game. In all 167 bowl games, only one was decent, Michigan versus Florida. When we think about the magic there could have been...
Invention: Someone please make a strip that I can dip in my coffee to make sure it's DECAF. Starbucks, 8 PM, order decaf latte, clerk says "DECAF", barista says "DECAF", I'm thinking, "its DECAF". It wasn't. I was up until 4 in the morning, bouncing off the walls. Now I am afraid of the late night Starbucks experience; I won't go there anymore after dark. I need to know for sure when two people say the word for what it's supposed to be, that it really is what that word is. Bastards.
Now that is Kobe is divorced, or getting divorced, can he start dating Brittany. Now that would make for great television.
Thank You, I feel better now.

I truly enjoyed hearing the "decaf" rant in person!
That was fun. Great company and good cheescake, can't ask for more than that.
