Thursday Geek-isms

Last night, while walking in SoHo, I noticed twin, parallel spotlights glowing just south of us. Being the idiot that I am, I asked, “Ooh, what’s going on over there? Is it a party?

After getting the crap scared out of me, I had a little chat with him, and even asked, “Do you make enough money doing this?” “Hell yeah, I sent two kids through college doing this.” […]

Football season has officially started! Although I’ve always enjoyed the sport, I was never into it as much as basketball. However, this season I decided to join my first fantasy football league in order to get more exposure from the most popular sport in the US.
