Another Two Cents

And now, more random thoughts that nobody asked for…

• The most absurd part of the entire Rocky-verse isn’t the robot, or Thunderlips, or even Balboa beating Creed in a footrace — it’s that a BOXING COMMISSION wouldn’t license Rocky because he was brain damaged.
• I’m not one to toot my own horn… mostly because if I could bend that way, I’d never leave the house.
• Why does Spotify keep playing Loverboy's "Working for the Weekend" at 9:15 AM on Monday morning?
• The little cup of diner coleslaw is one of my favorite things about dining out.
• You know it’s December when it’s dark at 4:30, half the office is on vacation, and both the Giants and Jets already have double-digit losses.
• When they say, "don't try this at home," are they saying I should go to the neighbor's house and try it there?
• Paying $125 to cut down my own Christmas tree feels a lot like hiring a chef just to watch me cook my own dinner.
• I haven't caught up with "Lost" in a while — did they get that hatch open yet?
• If you're the same kind of sports fan I am, then you've never forgiven Charles Smith for not dunking in the Eastern Conference finals… and you never will.
• An interviewer asked me, "if you were a Transformer, who would you be?" I told them, "I'm more Ultra Magnus than Optimus Prime"… but the sad truth is, I'm probably Springer.
