A few things have made news lately that I could have NEVER predicted. The first came when I read the paper yesterday and Ford said that their F-series trucks and SUV sales dropped 42% last quarter.
WOW - who could have predicted that one. Now they are thinking small cars might be the way to go.
THEN - I was in Borders after work picking up a new book called "Designing Great Beers" and I see on a magazine CLAY AIKEN IS GAY! WHAT? He's gay? Man - where did THAT come from. Sorry - just can't see it. And I was a member of the Clay-nation too.
Not that there is anything bad about being gay. I think gay people are, for the most part, more in tune with the universe then straight people.
========================
THE FRONT FELL OFF
On August 19th 2007, an oil tanker off the coast of Australia split in two, dumping 20,000 tons of crude oil. Senator Collins, a member of the Australian Parliament, appeared on a TV news program to reassure the Australian public.
Here ya go!
=======================
The Brewers - boo hoo. The Cubs - Har har.
I mentioned in the comments yesterday that in 1982 you could no longer listen to Bob Uecker (pronounced ˈˈjǀõkeǀur on one site, yea - THAT helps) broadcast Brewer games. Well that is fixed and I was able to listen to his peppy banter yesterday.
side note - his birthday is the day after mine but 19 years earlier.
Uecker started broadcasting baseball in 1971 one year after the Brewers escaped Seattle and came to Milwaukee. Did you know that Milwaukee did not even know they were getting a major league team until one week before the season started in 1970?
Six days before opening day the players had no clue who they were playing for. With the season's opening day only six days away, there was not enough time to order completely new uniforms, so the club had to remove the Seattle Pilots logo from team uniforms and replace them with Brewers logos. In fact, the outline of the old Pilots logo could still be seen on the Brewers' uniforms.
Back to reality and yesterdays game. It seems to me that the squall line that went through Philadelphia really messed with Gallardo's head. His first 2 innings were great but as the storm came in and wind kicked up blowing out to right he lost it.
Add in a couple poor fielding plays and poor hitting and Brewers Lose. Made it pretty exciting at the end though.
Today hopefully will be a different story and all the Brewers wanted were to split the first two games in Philly (well, take both but let's be realistic). Still, the Brewer bullpen was pretty darn good going 4 innings and only giving up 1 hit.
=======================
Keep those Amazing Race entries coming in - we have SIX now!!
Friday night I'll have some bottles of Columbus Carriage Classic Ale at The Kurth.

Gotta run

ReplyDeleteI can't argue with that. If we had a handful of gay shopkeepers downtown and a good brewpub our troubles would be over.

ReplyDeleteEXACTLY!!! The Rainbow Room.
Why do gay people get to have the rainbow thing anyway. AND PINK TRIANGLES!!!
Now I'm getting pissed off LOL
Carriage Classic....tastes like beer! I got a preview of it, and it's a sure winner. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd for those of us who are big "Seinfeld" fans, the real phrase is 'not that there's anything wrong with that." ;)
No shock to me that Clay is gay, I just assume everyone is gay. And... you have at least two gay shopkeepers in Columbus ;Op
ReplyDeleteNot that there's anything wrong with me...(I should get a t-shirt with that)
Some of the best business people I know (at least from a retail and restaurant standpoint) are gay. The vast majority of gay people that I know are very succesful, detail oriented, creative, hard working, have a great eye for design, and have $. In my travels the most succesful downtowns have a pretty solid gay contingent. Columbus could benefit from growing that group.
ReplyDeleteRainbow Room has a nice ring to it...
I love rainbows :)
ReplyDeleteCouple comments for ya.
ReplyDeleteFirst, Rickie Weeks is a dumbass. He cost them the game. Catch a thrown ball and they score 0 runs.
Second, Cubs nation has come unglued over their game 1 loss already. I love it.
Third, did you happen to catch any of Palin's interview with Katie Couric? Good god, she was talking about her good friend that's gay and said she chose to be gay. Like it's a lifestyle choice! Where do these people come from? Can't wait to watch Biden destroy her tonight.
I love teh ghey!
ReplyDeleteYeah I am looking forward to the debate tonight as well.
ReplyDeleteGood Blog!!!
ReplyDeleteThe car business is not the place to be right now...
unless you are in the market for a Big Truck!LOL!!!
Go Brewers!!!
Gay Pride!!!!!
and Rainbows!!!!!
OH OH - Robbi said "good" blog.
ReplyDeleteNormally "Great". I feel I have let her down!!
I am personally wishing there wasn't a gheyopoly on the rainbows.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they're kind of cornered the market on the rainbows.
ReplyDeleteIn case anyone is not sure, the clip in Rod's link is a comedy not a real political interview.
ReplyDeleteAustralians would be able to tell the difference because they would recognise John Clarke is a well known comedy-actor not a senator.
Then again, maybe they wouldn't.
Uecker is gay?
ReplyDeleteOh, wait-- I shouldn't read so fast.
ReplyDeleteUeck! Ueck! Ueck!
ReplyDeleteNot to stereotype gay folks as having style and taste, but I always felt a big problem with "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" was that they kept the show in NYC. It'd make so much more sense to have gay makeovers of rural Midwestern fellas who get their wardrobes at Fleet Farm. NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT. It'd just be hella entertaining, 's all I'm sayin'.
looking forward to the Biden-Palin debate.....can't wait .......
ReplyDeletethanks for telling us the front fell off is a comedy bit, my hubby had gotten it too, hilarious, thought it sounded a little too much like a Monty Python bit but didn't know it wasn't legit
No!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo!!!!!!
No!!!!!!!!
Great Blog!!!!!ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!
Ddidn't everyone know Clay was gay? ;) (I can never tell when you're being sarcastic Rod!)
ReplyDeleteI only skimmed the sports talk, sorry ;)
Mary's funny!!!!
I wish I had a gay of my very own to have martini's and go shopping with.
ReplyDeleteDid y'all print off your Palin Bingo Debate cards off my blog?
Yes I was being that way shake and I LOVED "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"
ReplyDeleteWhen is Rod NOT SARCASTIC????? That is the big questions!
ReplyDeleteJennaay!!! lmao!!
ReplyDeleteA (straight) friend of mine was on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." That was fun!! He lives in Hoboken.
ReplyDeleteI can't argue with that.....
