Bling Ball

Many airports have at least one shop selling wares that seem to be there solely for the traveler who realizes they forgot a gift for someone on their trip. With an unexpected eleven-hour layover in Denver, I found that shop in Denver airport.

Someone appeared to have actually purchased one of the pucks. The puck holder just visible on the far right was empty.

They also offer the luxury suite official hat for wearing while sipping champagne and toasting those millionaires on the field.

In case you are wondering, I overheard a clerk tell a group of vacationing women the bling footballs were $1200 each. The hysterical laughter from the women was priceless. ;)

Google Dictionary

Is it possible the Google dictionary editor needs a new career because the current career is careening out of control?

It is a special time when one Snarky Friday post fruitfully yields another. :)

Word of the Day: Career

The last time I checked, playing high school sports is not a profession, occupation, job, or employment. The local paper seems greatly confused with this difficult to understand word.

Maybe I had it all wrong. When I played sports I thought it was supposed to be fun.

Garfield Minus Garfield

I've never been a big Garfield fan, but Garfield Minus Garfield is a different and often funny take on the cartoon.

Concrete Cornhole

We were at a Hudson Park and noticed they have added permanent cornhole fixtures. These are made from concrete and allow visitors to play the game by just bringing bags to the park. They look like a great idea for parks and maybe even businesses to provide recreation for employees. They are made and sold by a company called B.Y.O Bags.

Maryland, My Maryland

Maryland's state song has some interesting lyrics....

I hear the distant thunder-hum,
Maryland!
The Old Line's bugle, fife, and drum,
Maryland!
She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb-
Huzza! she spurns the Northern scum!
She breathes! she burns! she'll come! she'll come!
Maryland! My Maryland!

Excuse me, am I the northern scum you spurn? Funny, you've always gleefully taken my tourism money.

Ad Choices

Just because I watch Shark Tank, doesn't mean I'm going to buy your nasty looking socks.

I really don't understand how internet advertising is financially successful or how anyone in adulthood would wear these.
