Random Thoughts From Our NC Trip

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Mini vans really are MINI and are not meant to take a family of 6 on vacation.

Do people south of Chicago not know how to use the ramp to merge onto the highway?  I saw way too many people stopped at the bottom of the ramp waiting for a break in traffic.

Do these people also not know that the ramp to merge onto the highway is so that you can get up to the same speed as the traffic you are merging into.  If I am doing 75 I don’t need to slam on my brakes because you are doing 45 coming off the ramp.

Don’t take a trip with a Mexican woman with no patience, in a mini van, with 4 kids.

Police escorts are normal at funerals except it seems in Chicago.

I guess its customary in the south to have your church group bring food to your house for a post funeral meal.

Don’t assume your mother made hotel reservations for you.

When ordering pizza outside Chicago don’t tell the waiter you are from Chicago.

A five year old gets a bit antsy when strapped in a car seat for 15 hours.

It hurts to get pinched under the arm ( repeatedly ) when driving.

Don’t trust a GPS on a cell phone belonging to a White Sox fan.

Follow the person whose house you are going to ….  NOT another out of town person with the same map as you.

Classic Sports Movies

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Here are a few of my favorite classic sports movies.

Baseball - Major League

- Starring Wesley Snipes, Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger and Rene Russo

Basketball - Fish That Saved Pittsburgh

- No this is not a very good movie but if you have about 90 minutes to kill and you wanna see some bad acting from Dr J and Kareem its not THAT bad.

Football - The Longest Yard

- I am not talking about the newer version with Adam Sandler , I am talking about the older version staring Burt Reynolds.

Golf - Caddyshack

- Great golf movie, Bill Murray in one of his funniest roles. Also starring Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and Ted Knight.

Hockey - Slapshot

- This is arguably one of the funniest sports movies ever made, you don’t even have to like hockey to enjoy the slapstick humor. Starring Paul Newman.

If you have not seen Caddyshack or Slapshot these are must see guy movies, if you have not seen them yet them go out NOW and rent them. Anyone else have any favorites?

Late edition….

Bowling - Kingpin 

- Don’t know how I forgot this one. Woody Harrelson stars with Bill Murray in this one about a bowler with a rubber hand.

Favorite Super Bowl Commercials

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

I know, I know, I know, this is probably one of the top topics of blog posts, but since I have not written anything all day it was the easiest to do.

So here are my 3 favorites, in reverse order:

3. Shaq at the track
2. Baby and the Clown
1. Victoria’s Secret

It was not funny which I usually judge them by, but since having a great fondness of a couple of the models, including Adriana Lima who is in this commercial I had no choice but to make it my favorite. Below is the preview ( it was all I could find on youtube at time of writing )

What were your favorite 3 commercials?
