Game (s) Day

Image
Ah, this Saturday...today...Games Day...the two that enrapture the Horse ...the 1st at 9 is Michigan at THE Ohio St ...not a fan of the coach of the Wolverines, Harbaugh...too conservative for moi...ha ha...and the Buckeyes are enemies, too...so JCC (Jimmy Crack Corn), but I think the game will be a beaut...the 2nd at 12:30 has Oregon at Oregon St ...Corvallis, with their stadium in the process of getting one side rebuilt...wonder if they even let the Duck fans in?...so much depends on the health of QB Nix...the Beavs are tough defensively...fuggit about the points...this buggar is a tossup...Snooki, you going?... You watch the World Cup? ....yea, me neither...how in the world, can you play forever and never score...nil...nuttin...zero...and that is good...if the other side does the same...futbol, er soccer...I've tried to watch in the past...just so boring...now, in college, when I took the class...it was fun to play...taught it, too...kids had fun...but to watch?...no, not me......

Black Friday

Image
Tis the season ...the day after...this is the start of the sales 'you want to get'...get in your rigs and get on down to, ah, where?...the sites, are now...within your fingertips, not by the aide of your vehicle...you search the web net...the trying on bit, is a forever gone...to hold the item in your hands, and see if it is what the ad says...is gone... we have a NEW version of Black Friday. ..yes, gone are the enticements of the donuts and coffee at 5 am...perhaps, I shouldn't say they are all gone...some businesses still do it...but, the rush is no longer there...the masses breaking down the door...stomping and pushing on one another...I guess it was a game, for some...by the time I got there, the loss leaders were all gone...on the end, it is the idear of gift giving, right?...not all bad... How was your turkey day? ...we spent a few hours early on...and put up our Christmas decorations, and TREE!...went up like a charm...a hint for all of youse in the Horse World...it...

Happy Thanksgiving

Image
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you out there in the free world ...ah, this is just an American Holiday, right?...am NOT going to get into who took what, and all that...ha ha...that time has past...but, I am going to say 'Enjoy what you have, and make the best of it' ...however you got it...stop that, Horse...your very own traditions, may have changed over the years...time does that... my pseudo fam out at the golf course, all have their own rituals ...Gary makes a big turkey, and a prime rib, and feeds whoever shows up...Pops goes to the Hamptons, and lives the elite life...Billy makes a filet for his lady, and a porterhouse for himself...the Dude, peruses the 99 cent store and comes up with some form of delicacy...here, at the home, we are actually going to pick up me older brother and head on out to Ruth's Chris...the kids?...they have pre-made fixins and the turkey from Costco...and it takes about as much time to heat that up, than start from the beginning...so, he says......

Target Practice?

Image
You will be waking up to a headline, that you assumed was still about the Colorado Springs mass murders ... NO!...this is a new one...another one...this time in Virginia...at a Walmart...7 dead, including the assassin ...are we back to the era of whenever we are in a mass gathering, WATCH OUT?...we, the people are part of the TARGET PRACTICE of the crazed...what else can you call it?...it seems like I write about this each and every week...'thoughts and prayers', BS ring out from those who could make a difference in the situation...yes, I am repetitive in my call for action...it falls on deaf ears...before YOU go anywhere, look for an exit... Somehow, SCOTUS decided that the House can indeed see the long time coming forever audited, trump's taxes ...oh my, I can just imagine the veins popping on orange's head...his accountant, has testified that Fonny has lost millions over the years...well, how about that...hope you are not an investor...the wall is crumbling...the mo...

Pardon Me Boy

Image
Chattanooga Choo Choo...'Pardon me boy' ...but when I hear the sounds of the Repubs crying out that Prez B is 80...an octogenarian ...wooah...seems that the blokes my age have a similar name...septuagenarian....what?...we are in the arian nation?...WTH?...and if YOU make it to 90+, you are then tabbed a nonage narian... you know, there are studies, names, expectations of them all...guess when YOU reach 70+, there are complications ahead...danger danger...does that mean I have to start eating properly?...shoot, my dad lived to be 92, and he had ham & eggs most every morning... We, the people, must endure the countless attacks of the crazed ...carrying their armor on their shoulders...in the attack mode...ready to kill all in their paths...not at war, mind you...just had enough ammunition to do what they have planned...Congress, with their thoughts and prayers, turns a blind eye to it all...counts the money that the NRA pockets their new campaign to stay in office...'it...

Rules?

Image
After watching sooooo much football this past weekend...whether it be college or pro ball...the one rule...that I have no idea when it is a 'play on', an 'offensive pass interference', or a 'defensive pass interference' ...hand checking...grabbing...pushing off...flopping...what the heck?...some officiating teams, are known for 'letting them play'...guess that means that the D can grab and hold on...I tried, I really did, try to listen to one of them 'analysts'...describe what pass interference is...made no sense...too often, games are decided by this one 'call', er 'no call'...of course, who knows what holding is on the offensive line... Ducks and the Beavers this upcoming Saturday in Corvallis ...a beauty...and Ohio St and Michigan...toss up?...dislike 'em both, so JCC... Time to report on the Shepherd College Rams ...hey this is the family (not) that carries our name...albeit spelled incorrectly...11-1...locked into the D...

More Mass Murder

Image
What an absolutely awful blog headline today...right? ... More Mass Murder ...it is what we see and hear about way too often...unfortunately, might be in it, too...this time...in Colorado Springs...Colorado...where 5 were shot dead, and 18 injured...to me, makes no diff what type of crime scene it is...schools, theaters, concerts, clubs, churches, and the list goes on...and on...and on...the value of mankind is lost...the availability of killing weapons goes on and on...and on...and on...in my lifetime, my joy would be to see the censure of rapid fire weapons...here in the USA...happened once, back when Prez Clinton was at the helm...overturned and we have what we have...so sad... Did you watch any of the college football yesterday? ...kids, there were some gooduns...my two that I talked about the most, pre-game...USC beat UCLA, in a score fest...and I think that might give them the upper hand sneaking into the top 4...and UO somehow beat the Utes...really, an ugly game of two 8-2 team...
