Pittsburgh and Scranton


Pittsburgh was named the best city in the state to raise your child and Scranton was second, according to Business Week magazine. You can read about it here. I've been saying for years that Scranton is a mini Pittsburgh. We both have the Pens, although we have to share them with that cesspool of a city Wilkes-Barre. We both have great restaurants and bars. Both cities are ignoring the smoking ban. The Steelers are probably the most popular NFL team in Scranton. In fact, Pittsburgh is our AFC team every Sunday. The fact that the Meadowlands is only 2 hours away and Pittsburgh is over 5, that says something. Who wants to watch the Jets anyway? Feel free to add anything I may have missed.

Are You Shittin' Me?



The Penguins are off again tonight so I decided to give my full attention to Penn State. Tonight, the Lions face their toughest game of the young season at Pennsylvania. Penn is 1-2 and Penn State is 4-0. The game is NOT on TV. What the fuck? The Big Ten Network airs the NJIT and New Hampshire games but not this one. Penn State is currently a 4 point favorite, according to Bodog.

Hell Has Frozen Over


I never thought I would see this day. Look up at the sky. There is a good chance pigs are flying around. I hold in my hand the new Guns N' Roses CD Chinese Democracy. After 15 years Axl and the boys, wait, just Axl is finally back. The most surprising thing is that it's good. Correction- GREAT! This sounds like something that should have come out in 1990. Heavy guitars, good tempos, and fist pumping fun. Check out Shackler's Revenge, Riad N' The Bedouins, and There Was a Time. Skip the ballads like Street of Dreams and This I Love. By far Chinese Democracy is better than anything Velvet Revolver ever did. One of the best CD's of 2008.

I Love Jägermeister


When did it become a bad thing to be a Jager drinker? I love this stuff. Three or four shots and a few beers and BAM! good to go. They are even making fun of us on Entourage.


Seth Green: It’s Vinnie Chase and the Chasers! Hey, let me get a couple more Jager shots for the boys from Queens over there.
Eric: No thanks.
Seth Green: What’s the matter? You don’t drink, Eric?
Eric: I drink Vodka, Seth. I stopped drinking Jager in high school!

I drank Busch in high school. I wish I was drinking Jager back then.

Steelers Or Pens?

The Steelers should win by three touchdowns and the Pens probably will play into overtime. So...

My New Favorite Song This Week... Flashback Style


Because I still don't have my ipod back, I'm a little behind on all the new music that came out. I have about 6 new Cd's on my desk but for some reason I'm waiting to put them on the ipod before I listen to them. I had to take something to listen to for work so I went into the room I keep my Cd's in and grabbed this, Glow from Reef, circa 1997. I forgot how good this Cd was. The song is called Place Your Hands. The band is still around, but not with it's original lineup.

NJIT @ Penn State Tonight @ 7



Just how bad is The New Jersey Institute of Technology? The Highlanders (0-1) have lost 34 games in row. They went 0-29 last season. A NJIT loss tonight to the Lions will break Sacramento State's record for most consecutive losses. The game is on the Big 10 Network if you are really that bored.

11 Days And Counting...

It's been 11 days since I had my ipod. Not a big deal, right? Wrong! I listen to my ipod for 8 hours a day at work. How cool is that! Not the job, that sucks. Anyway, I went to the Apple store and since the warranty ran out, they said they couldn't fix it. They would give me 10% off of a new one. Get bent! My ipod is only 3 years old and only half filled. I did find this place called The irestore Team on the internet and for 25 bucks they will fix it and pay for the shipping. You have a deal. The only thing wrong with it is that the headphone jack needs to be replaced. What, Apple doesn't know how to do that? I had to suffer listening to the radio for 11 days now. I'm sorry but classic rock is old and that angry rock station sucks. But I did take the classic rock over talking to my coworkers, and boy is the old Sony Discman bulky.

Penn State Hoops vs. William & Mary Tonight at 6:30



The Penn State men's basketball team open their season tonight against William & Mary. Quick... name William & Mary's nickname. It's the Tribe. Racist bastards. The game is at 6:30 and can be seen on the Big Ten Network. This is the first-ever meeting between the schools. It's still way too early for college hoops so that's all I got.

Silly Nannies @ Penguins Tonight At 7:30


The Philadelphia Silly Nannies come to the Igloo tonight to take on our Pens. After Tuesday's game I will be glued to the Pens for the rest of the year. Pittsburgh's 7-6 overtime win at Detroit was probably the best hockey game I ever watched. I hope all the "trade Jordan Staal" or "send Staal down to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton" crap is over. As for the Family Guy reference, don't ask because I don't have an answer for it.

I'm Exhausted


Go Pens!

Pens @ Assholes Tonight @ 7

The Penguins travel to Detroit tonight to take on the Red Wings. We remember the Red Wings, right? It's time to get reacquainted with Marian Hossa. A nice check into the boards will be nice. After Hossa took the money (and who could blame him) and signed a one year deal with the Wings, I now hate Detroit just as much as I hate the Yankees. The Pens need to step it up, and tonight will be a great place to start. Go Pens!




Don't forget to thank a Veteran today. It's because of them that we get this freedom to watch hockey on a Tuesday night!

Now It's Hockey Season, PSU Upset


Penn State will not be playing for a national championship. Iowa made sure of that. Daryll Clark played a horrible game, the Hawkeyes seemed to convert every 3rd and long and the Lions lose 24-23 on a last second field goal. To be honest, Penn State is not even a top 10 team. The best case scenario will be a trip to the Rose Bowl against USC. I'm thinking Outback Bowl. Indiana is next and good luck to them because this team should be pissed. Derrick Williams is the only one who showed up for this game. By the way, where was Pat Devlin?

Are The Hawkeyes Any Good?


The Nittany Lions travel to Iowa Saturday to play the Hawkeyes. Iowa has four losses by a total of 12 points. Yes, put those four losses together and the number is only 12, including a 21-20 loss to Pitt. Iowa, like Penn State crushed Wisconsin but lost last week to Illinois 27-24, a team Penn State beat. Strangely, they are the only two teams that each has faced. We need another team in the Big 11 to get rid of this unbalanced schedule. The Lions must be careful here, especially on the road. This will be the twelfth meeting between the schools since Penn State joined the Big 11. For some reason the only one that sticks in my mind was in 2004. That was the game when Iowa was taking safety's just to put Penn State's horrible offense back on the field. It worked, resulting in a 6-4 win for the Hawkeyes. Still to this day the worst game I ever watched. This Penn State team is MUCH better and the offense is MUCH better. Keep an eye out for Iowa's running back Shonn Greene. He will definitely be playing on Sundays.

This Ain't Your Daddys America!


This morning the alarm goes off at 5:15am. I woke up, jumped in the shower and went to work, just like I do every morning. Today was different, though. I didn't go to bed until 1:30am the night before but for some reason I had all the energy in the world. AMERICA HAS FINALLY GOTTEN IT RIGHT!!! Our new President has a lot of work to do but I believe we picked the right man for the job. It's going to take time and patience but things are going to change. Finally, an America that is one. That's something to be proud of.

Don't Forget To Vote...

... for this weeks poll question!


It's here! Election day 2008. Today we will finally pick a new president. Yesterday on my day off, I ended up at a Mexican restaurant about an hour away from my house. I guess I like tacos that much. Anyway, while we were eating our lunch (I had the Roast Lamp?)







a woman stopped by and asked us who we are voting for. Maybe it's just me but that's a personal question. Then she hands me this.

Look at what the children can get. Manicures, massages, and make up. Again, maybe it's only me but this was a strange lunch.
