Rodent Wars!

As I sit on my deck this fine fall evening, listening to E Street Radio on Sirius and quaffing a cold beverage, I wonder if the persistent tap tap tap is just mighty Max Weinberg keeping the beat or... once again, the invasion of the squirrels from hell! Before I buy a custom imprinted giant Golf Umbrella to protect me from the acorn shells bouncing off my head and my deck, I wonder if there is another solution. Maybe a slingshot... nah, my aim is off due to the frosty beverage. Rodent euthanasia... pretty cruel. Cut down all the trees... pretty expensive. I'm going to develop a robot squirrel to infiltrate the squirrel population and talk them into dropping their refuse on my neighbor's property! Maybe I'll just have another drink...

My Disc is Bigger Than Yours!

The big news in the music world for this week: Kanye West's new CD 'Graduation' outsold rival 50 Cent's new offering 'Curtis' by 266,000 units in the first week of release! Earlier this summer, '50' announced that he wouldn't put out any more solo efforts if West outsold his album. He has since retracted that statement, possibly realizing how bad his 3rd studio go around really is. A smug Mr. West pronounced "To be a champion, you've got to take out a champion". To be brutally honest, you could save a lot of money by using these Mini Flyers to throw around instead of the $12.99 CD's, which would probably not fly as well anyway.

Oops, She Did it Again!

Perennial tabloid fodder Britney Spears put on quite a show at the MTV Video Music Awards show this week. Described as a 'hot, sweaty mess' by a fellow show-goer, the former Mrs. Federline lip-synced her way through her new single 'Gimme More' while the crowd and television audience clearly wanted much less. Dr. Phil, also in the house, stated that he thought he bought tickets to a train wreck! Ms. Spears, having descended from the throne of 'My Favorite Young Hottie', resembled someone who had too many belts from a Stainless Shot Glass rather than the comeback kid. It is 'My Prerogative' to inform people that Britney is 'Outrageous' and 'Toxic' instead of being 'Lucky' and 'Stronger' when she's trying to 'Do Somethin' that will make people think she's 'Born to Make You Happy'!

The NFL is Back!!

One good thing about the end of the summer... the National Football League is back in business!! After a long and arduous offseason, tailgating returns with a vengeance. Ahh, the thought of cracking the first brewski of the day at 8 am and cooking egg sandwiches on the grill. It doesn't get any better than that. Unless, of course, you can park your butt in a custom imprinted Folding Chair. Comfort is indeed king! And if you're wondering, the Philadelphia Eagles rule the roost in our part of the land!
