I Hear The Jets Signed Some Old Quarterback

I am a Jets fan.

Having said that, I was kinda dreading the Jets trading for Brett Favre. Why? Because of what is going on in my office this morning....

Mail Dude is also a Jets fan. He's been going around chanting "J! E! T! S! JETS! JETS! JETS! Get your tickets to Tampa!!" (Tampa is where Super Bowl will be)

Best was him telling the importance of this to a college-aged female intern here from Italy.

She was watching him with an expression that said, "How the heck did the U.S. get to be a superpower?"

If I don't post or respond to comments this afternoon, it may be cause I feigned an illness and went home.

Where Did I Put That "Meat is Murder" T-Shirt??

On August 20th, I'm actually going to a concert where the co-headliners are The Smiths and The Cure!!!

Okay, just kiddin' (you should know that since Morrissey has stated he'd rather eat his own testicles than reunite - and he's a vegetarian!)

Josie and I are actually going to this....



That's right...a battle of Cure and Smiths cover bands!!

And I couldn't be more excited (My music taste ranges from the early '80's all the way to the late '80's)

Talk About A "Win/Win!"

Just went out to buy peanut butter. While perusing the shelf, I came across this:




Out of curiosity, I took a look at the nutritional value...
Fat - 13G
Sat Fat - 2.5G
Sugar - 7 G
Protein - 6G

Then I took a look at Skippy's Peanut Butter nutritional value...

Fat - 17G
Sat Fat - 3.5G
Sugar - 3G
Protein - 7G

Huh?

I feel like my life is beginning all over again.

Life Imitating Seinfeld

Remember that scene in Seinfeld when Jerry and George are pitching their sitcom idea about nothing to Russell at NBC?

George says, "It's about nothing!"
Russell responds, "Then why are people watching it?"
George answers, "Cause it's on TV."
"Not yet it isn't."

Well, I think there's a lot of truth to what George said. Every time I see the trailer for Step Brothers, I can't believe how bad the movie must be if the trailer is this bad. Then I see how it brought in like $30MM its opening weekend, exceeded expectations.

I assume that Will Ferrell can star in "Up with Nazis" and it'll open at number one (then again, that does sound pretty funny)

All Snarked Out

Maybe I'm getting older but the snarky blogs like deadspin and gawker just don't do it for me anymore.

I stopped reading gawker when they made fun of the GI's killing dogs in Iraq...

I think today may be the end of my deadspin reading days, thanks to this. To me, that's pretty serious stuff and to use a snarky "Big bowl of wrong" to describe it is really wrong.

One less blog on my required reading.

Watch The Magic Happen!

I'll be at Gotham Comedy Club on Tuesday, August 19th at 8 PM.

And yes, I will be doing this joke. Sorry David.
