I'm Studying You

Shut Up Ya Big Gary Coleman Fan!!

Some notes while working on my WDC Merit Badge in Hip Hop:

Basketball shoes vs. running shoes: When your driveway is a sheet -nae, a slab- of ice, I do not recommend wearing basketball sneakers, as their traction is not suited for icy conditions. Sure they may provide much-needed ankle support, but that won't help you when you slide all over, hit the ground and potentially break your hip. Besides, I'm only 5'6"; I should have no business wearing basketball sneakers anyway.

Even better news than the Sabres pulling off a stunning 3rd period comeback win last night and Thomas Vanek finally looking like a big money player was the fact that the Sabres seem a hell of a lot more serious now about getting defenseman Brian Campbell signed before next week's trade deadline. You could practically form an All-Star team with players the Sabres have let walk in the past few seasons while getting little-to-nothing in return.

No matter how many times I see it, that new Skittles commercial ("Show us how everything you touch turns to Skittles.") does not get old. I love it when he pounds the desk in frustration and the whole thing collapses into a mess of about 32 bazillion little pieces of glorified sugar candy. My question is, what kind of classification of candy exactly does a Skittle fall into? Someone needs to Google that shit for me, stat. Pronto.

Your Jim Rome quote of the day: "I crushed a bowl of Cap'n Crunch for the first time in like 10 years the other night...so good. I forgot how good it was, even if it was like eating a bowl of razor blades in milk. Even when I was spitting up blood, I was like 'wow, this is good.' The straight Cap'n -no Crunch Berries, no Peanut Butter. Peanut Butter is solid- and it's a lot less sharp."

The video of the day, for your enjoyment. OK, for my enjoyment:

Hope everyone is doing well..."Safe travels, safe return."
