Bizarro day – Eagles are turkeys, Titans soar..

We started out the day with an anti-brunch – breakfast at the wonderful Hermitage Cafe down on Hermitage Avenue. Pretentious, it is not. Clean seat upholstry, it has not. Healthy food…NOT. If you want a real breakfast, replete with lard-based biscuits with gravy, real corn beef hash, eggs served pretty much whatever way you want and loads of other artery-clogging victuals, not to mention a wide variety of customers, Hermitage Cafe is your place.

I got home just in time to see most of the Titan’s game. I realize I will probably jinx our team, but overall the Titans are playing the way I expected the Eagles to play and the Eagles have landed in the Titan-zone. Still most of the 4th quarter to go, but the Titans are unbelievably ahead 24-6 thanks to Travis Henry, Vince Y. and the punt return stylings of Pacman ‘it’s all about me’ Jones, not to mention some excellent defense from a bunch of guys who heretofore couldn’t stop the Temple Owls.

I hope that bizarro day turns into normality tonight when we head down to Sam and Lynnette’s for The Story. I’d hate to find out that we are really supposed to DIS-like our neighbors. I’m rather fond of em’.

Bizarro Titans Update: Randy Stark to Keith Bullock for a touchdown..just when i think i’ve seen it all…Titans are gonna win this one!

Dane Cook explained, or, Vito straightens things out.

i love the Sports Guy, columnist for ESPN.com. I especially love his mailbag and the hyper-clever ‘letter’ writers. This particular letter from someone named Vito explains something that has been totally befuzzling me.

Q: I’m 99 percent positive that Randolph and Mortimer Duke recently wagered $1 that they could turn the funniest, most successful stand-up comic into a disturbed bum on the street and turn a random unfunny guy off the street into the hottest comic in the land with TV specials and a feature film. How else can you explain the fall of Dave Chappelle and the rise of Dane Cook? It is the only answer. Looking good Dane Cook! Feeling good Dave Chappelle!

A new me, or, Irascibility tiled

The other day, Kathy T. included me in her wonderful ‘wrinkle’ series. I warned her in advance and apologized afterwards that the series would take a downward spiral when and if I was included, especially since a PICTURE was involved. Well, I’ve borrowed that picture from her, and I do believe that I’ve improved it greatly. Thanks to some internet surfing starting with Chez Bez to The Red-Headed Editor to Ripple Me This….I found the Image Mosaic Generator…behold!

There are literally hundreds of small photos mosaically designed to pull together my face. Not sure it was worth the effort, but really a lot of fun to play with..Hint, click on picture and then embiggen the pic, and if you see the GIANT-SIZED pic of me, I’m not so easy to make out, but the hundreds, yea, thousands of pictures that make up my head are visible.
