Crazy Talk and Sometimes Socks
Odds are pretty good that unless you live in some kind of drafty, dark unheated cavern—which is unlikely given that you’re reading an online blog at the moment—you’ve likely heard something about Manti Te’o. If you haven’t, let me sum up: the guy played linebacker for Notre Dame, was the runner up for the Heisman … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Fake Girlfriends
This is by no means a new topic of complaint around here, but if you look at the picture to left, which I grabbed barely a moment ago from my desktop, you'll see that the high temperature today is supposed to reach 54 degrees. That's Fahrenheit to you and me, Russ. Oh, also, the sun … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Rudolph Car Decorations
Earlier this week, I was hanging out with my friends, and somehow or another we ended up discussing the question of what now occupied the Service Merchandise store of our youth. When I realized it's now an Old Navy and announced it, the entire table was deeply chagrined. Which, of course, prompted this tweet and … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Department Stores
Now, I know what you’re thinking: here it is Sunday evening, the Bengals have already given us their weekly demonstration of how to be not quite good enough, the weekly family dinner is hot and steaming on the table, and yet, I’ve offered you absolutely nothing in the way of this week’s Weekend Debate. Well, … Continue reading Weekend Debate: The Dreaded Hiatus
I'm a pretty lucky guy. Among the multitude of reasons I have for saying that is the fact that I work in the kind of office environment that doesn't stand too much on formality. When the doors are closed, when it's just my department, we have a lot of laughs. Admittedly, many of those laughs … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Chewing Gum
What do two birthday parties for four year-olds and an elementary school festival have in common? Well, other than the fact that these are the activities that are effectively filling my weekend with a tsunami of near constant activity? Two words: clowns. Wait, that's only one word. Creepy-ass clowns, then. Close enough. Thankfully, I wasn't … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Send in the Clowns
After much consideration, I decided not to offer a weekend debate this weekend. For one, we had the Vice Presidential debate last week and two more Presidential debates still to stomach endure come in the next few weeks. So I think we can all take a break from the debating of nonsense topics, just this … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Taking a week off
I have friends that have been giving me a bit of the business over the fact that the last several week's Weekend Debate posts have come either late on Sunday or on – gasp! – Monday. Of course, I'd like to refute that claim, but apparently when you post things publicly to the internet, the … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Musicals
I got an invitation on Facebook earlier this week to join in all the merry digital agrarian fun on Farmville 2. Let me tell you, I was absolutely breathless with excitement when that notification hit my inbox. Either that or I was holding breath waiting for the moment when I would suddenly find myself giving … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Das Farmvilles
Yes, I know, I know. The Weekend Debate is late again. But, look, the Reds clinched the Central Division Saturday evening, the Bengals actually won yesterday, and assuming some sort of Disney-style, Fairy Godmother-esque miracle doesn't befall my Fantasy Football competition during Monday Night Football, I should bring home a win this week. So, you … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Sriracha
