Vince is Way Better Than Billy Mays
OK, my first impression of Vince was not a very good one. Like many others in the blogosphere, I thought he came across as a sleazy used car salesman type in the Sham-Wow commercial. After seeing his latest "work" hawking the slap chopper or whatever the hell that thing is, I think I'm getting his dry sense of humor, and I like him. I wish I could say the same for Billy Mays. Any commercial I see him in, I immediately think, "Why are you shouting? Will you just shut the hell up?!" I'll take Vince any day.
I Was Right #34,578,901,397
I called my parents house 15 minutes before game-time and since no one answered I left this message,"Matty Ice will not have a good game. The Cardinals are winning this one!" Earlier in the day, I talked TA into betting the $15 he owes me (I hijacked my dad paying him back $5 over Christmas - ha!) on the Cardinals as well. When the Falcons scored right before halftime, my SOB 7-year old nephew called me up to ask me about the game - pissant! That's ok, I called him back at the end of the game*. It was pretty satisfying watching the Cards win. It's tempting to drive a couple hours down the road to catch this week's game live, but I think I prefer the comforts of home vs. getting beer thrown on me. As nice as the win was, in '98 they beat the Cowboys in the first round and then lost big time to the Vikings the next week. I'm holding off on the celebrations until I see another win. I think they've got a decent shot against the Panthers. Also, the Giants, Titans, and Chargers will win.
I Was Wrong #3
When The Mentalist came on, I thought it would be a copy of Psych, but it's actually really good. Further, Heroes completely sucked this year.
The Economy Is Ruining The Blogging World
Sure, many have become enamoured with Facebook, but I think people having to actually work at their jobs is killing the blogosphere. I'm hoping the new regime passes legislation allowing 4 hours of blogging at work for every 8 hours worked, kinda like the good ol' days last year. I start teaching on Monday, so I'll be one of those that wishes he had more down time to blog.
That's all I got for ya!
* - Hahahahahahaha! Cardinals won suckas! All you Cardinal-haters suck! Where are all of you now, huh? Wah, the Cardinals can't win because they stunk against New England, wah! They faked you out! The Cardinals don't have a running game - wrong! Losers! We saved an aging Edgerin James for the playoffs, you see that now, right! Super Bowl baby! Look out Panthers! Look out Giants! There's a new sheriff in town! Don't tug on Larry Fitzgerald's cape! Hey E-man, what's up with your Falcons now? How come you didn't call me back after halftime? Cards win! Cards win! Cards win!

If you just jinxed the Chargers, so help me...
Heroes did suck, and it's very upsetting, because I kept on hoping it would get better. But whoever they got editing that show has horrible pacing skills.
Gotta love the Volkswagen radio commercial with Billy Mays...he totally makes fun of himself (as does the commercial).
I'll like Vince when he lowers his right eyebrow down to where it is supposed to be.
He didn't jinx them, Red. He just predicted wrongly. If you'd read any of his AI predictions, you should've seen it coming.
Plus, you were playing the Steelers. Everyone should've seen it coming.
The economy is destroying blogging. Unemployment has my output down at least 80%, without a desk job I have no reason to waste away the hours blogging.
I agree w/the Heros comment as well. Jumped the shark for sure... I'm getting amped up for Lost.
Your SOB nephew loves trash talking w/you and hopes its a Steeler Cardinals Superbowl!
