Pigskin Pleasures

The bounce of the ball, so erratic with the shape of the football...the pigskin...are they still made of that?...NOPE!...the reality of it all...the ones used like for the elders...ha ha...are now made of cowhide...thus, the pigs have been saved...the lower levels use synthetic stuff...like rubber and the like...thing is, it was never made of pigskin...first it was the pig's bladder, covered by leather...then, in the late 1800's, it was rubber...then they covered it with leather...cow's...SO, the ball is either leather or vulcanized rubber...and now you know...it is all slang...

Another set of eye openers yesterday...the Ducks thoroughly handled the much higher ranked BYU guys...the Bevos mauled Montana St, chalking up 68!...USC beat Fresno and set up next week's match with OSU...Miami cane down to earth and got whacked by Texas A&M...the Dawgs won over Mich St, a very nice win...and UCLA survived over South (?) Alabama, in front of virtually no one at the Rose Bowl...

The Friars in another must win...and did so...2-0...and now is on the right track...keep it going, Pads...

Let's go...

Finally found a flaw in the new Modem/Wifi tower of COX...can't hook up the Wifi to the Sonos...Daffy Duck for about an hour...will tackle it again today...nothing is ever easy...you know the wires that are in the wall, hidden?...when you hook up the TV to the wall, you fit 'em in a hole...well, one of 'em, fell down...thus, today, have to find it...and snake it back up...

Snooki and son, still found a way to watch them Ducks in Ireland...via Youtube...a Guinness be had by the boys...and they were piggy with delight over the outcome...

Yes, we did snare tix to the Sara Evans Christmas Show in Pala...3rd row...ha ha...now, trying to get a room at the casino for the nite...perhaps, a meet and greet?...

What day is this for the Queen's funeral?...man, them Brits loved their Queen and their Monarchy...takes like 24 hours to see the casket...

Had a stupendous meal at Morton's last eve...the 1st of two celebratory dinners planned...just like JLo and Ben...so fun to people watch, as we had the best seat in the house...not that I wasn't looking at Boss the whole nite...

Ya got your sights set on today's NFL games?...I gander at the Red Zone...and really don't care who wins...is that weird or what?...been like that ever since the Chargers left town...

Our money man, JJ, heard my plea...tried to find an Oktoberfest mug...and they were sold out!...he PROMISES next year...lurve them mugs...

Let's say YOU are hitched to Paris Hilton...this is via a commercial...and you are walking with her...how could YOU?...do you walk ahead of her, or behind her?...cuz you CAN'T walk by her side...unless you sash and sway like her...and that would be awkward...

Why then, is the smallest toe on YOUR foot, called the 'littlest piggy?'...
