The Ramble...

Good morning everyone.  Today's post will be representative of the style that I intend for all of my future Monday posts.  My computer problems yesterday delayed this for a day, but at the moment everything is running smoothly on 'Bikini Hill'...  Due to events in the sports world during the past week, I have already determined that Thursday's post here will be about the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans, whose fans make up a good portion of my followers here.  Under the radar, this is quickly becoming one of the more interesting rivalries in the NFL, with neither team's fans really wanting to see the other franchise succeed  (more about that topic tomorrow).  And Friday's football predictions MAY just have a lead-in with me saying a little bit about the Boise State/TCU game that took place last Saturday...  ;)  Okay, enough with the sneak previews, it's time for today's ramble...

While I was re-downloading many of the things that used to be on my computer before yesterday, when I had to re-configure it to its original settings due to problems, I was flipping through the channels last night.  At one point I found Snooki on a talk-show, discussing the Jersey Shore in Italy (I believe) season, talking about her new book, her future plans, etc...  About 10 minutes later, I found Miss Piggy on a different talk-show.  When I saw Miss Piggy, I INSTANTLY thought... well... all I'm saying is just get a photo of each of them...  Is there any football player in the NFL that John Gruden doesn't like???  I saw something in San Marcos, America driving home the other night that I had never seen here before - deer were crossing the street FROM campus toward Grins - be very careful when driving around San Marcos, America...  I have some good news for those of you in San Marcos - I JUST HEARD thunder, and we have an 80% chance of rain today!  In case you haven't been paying attention to your calendar, Thanksgiving is only 9 days away, and Christmas is only 40 days away...  Say what you want about Tim Tebow, but the Denver Broncos are 3-1 since he took over as their starting quarterback.  If you like college basketball, flip your television to the ESPN family of networks today - they will be showing games ALL DAY LONG...  For all of the computer issues that I had to deal with yesterday, on a related note, I received GREAT customer service from McAfee and Google yesterday - thank you!  :)  Good luck finding twelve people in Pennsylvania to serve on a jury who haven't heard about the Jerry Sandusky case at Penn State...  Will somebody PLEASE make some more stupid car insurance commercials - we really don't have enough of them...  They just described one of the murder victims on 'Law & Order' as looking like a "dead turkey wrapped in latex" - yeah, I won't be thinking about that on Thanksgiving...  Congratulations to Pius Heinz on winning the Main Event at the World Series of Poker last week in an epic 5-hour plus heads-up battle over Martin Staszko (Heinz - 22 years old - 8.72 million dollars --- Staszko - 35 years old - 5.43 million dollars).  How freakin bored do you have to be to become a computer hacker?  Hackers are just like people who talk about you behind your back, but who wouldn't dare tell you anything to your face - GUTLESS...  I just heard a San Antonio weatherman speaking about the rain in the Alamo City, saying that all of the 'typical places' are flooding - there's some useful reporting???  The Philadelphia Eagles fell to 3-6 this weekend after to falling to the Arizona Cardinals and John Skelton - WHO??!!  By the way, this rain is BEAUTIFUL!  As much as I love the ocean, I wonder why I have never lived one...  Matt Leinart will get another chance to prove me wrong about him being one of the most overrated draft picks ever coming out of USC, where he was surrounded by a bunch of talented players (oh, that's part of Thursday's post)...  If you go to a 'Dubstep' show at the Texas Music Theater, DO NOT launch a hula hoop from the upper level to the main floor...  Seeing Chicken McNuggets selling 20 for $ 4.99 at McDonald's, I wonder if the price of 'McNugget feed' has fallen over the years - didn't they use to sell 6 for like $ 2.99 or something?...  Are the NBA owners and players REALLY THIS STUPID?!  I hate to tell you this, but the college basketball season is in FULL SWING now guys...  If you are driving in front of me in San Marcos, America (or anywhere), please don't wait for the signal light in front of you to turn a different shade of green before proceeding through it...

Okay, that's enough for today.  Actually, I'd keep going, but that's all I've got.  My 'mental list' seems to be missing a few things after yesterday's battle with my computer, but it's humming along now, so I'll take it.  I hope that you have a great day, and I'll see ya again on Thursday.
