These Lying Eyes

I drove by a store called "Baby and Horse Boutique." I was driving quickly, and I left my neck above half arching back for a better look at the store-front. Babies and horses? That's ridiculous, I said; then I pulled my head back around and drove away.

Upon inspection, these old eyes they fool me: 'Body and Home Boutique' is the actual name of the store. That makes more sense, I said, pulling the reigns back, and Rusty and I trotted off.

10 Years, Classroom: You're On

This guy says his kids will be smarter than your kids. And my kids. Everyone ever.

If you even think you may want kids one day, he's calling your possible future kids out, bro's

Of course, he has a point:

Tools like the Nintendo DS are extremely powerful and will be in my children's hands.

There are other learning games around like Brain Age and whatnot that don't help with specific skills, but help overall cognitive thinking. That, to me, is much more crucial than knowing your multiplication tables or how to spell specific words.

I agree.

I too am raising my tikes using that paragon of brain development, Nintendo, and in 10 years, we'll meet your kids in the classroom, or on the set of a movie, and brain punch them.

Turning Red

OK Heidi, my nipples are rashing-up and still no labor. My wrists kinda hurt too. At what point can I stop this?

Hazardous

Between anxiously waiting for her to go into labor and this Sunday's game I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a heart attack.

The Genius of Trent Dilfer Strikes Again

Transcripts of sports play-by-play and talking head shows should exist. That would help me out.

Since they don't yet exist (until the day some stenographer, Redskins-loving, father-to-be stumbles upon this very post) I have to recount this tale sans proof.

After the BYU / Oklahoma upset, the heads were talking sprained AC joints; specifically, the weeks required to recover from one. The main head says that the medical experts they'd talked to say 2-4 weeks, but Trent Dilfer, who's sprained his AC joint umpteen times, claims it could just be a week or so, severity notwithstanding.

So they caveat the advice of medical experts with the advice of quarterback—and apparently now medical—expert Trent Dilfer.

For the second time in the last hour: What the hell?

Whiteout: What the hell?

Heartbreak

Glancing at the NFL coverage map for week 1, it appears that—unlike most of the country—I won't be able to watch the Redskins from home confines (of Medford, Oregon). Damn.
