    I just remembered something. When grumpy, his daughter and I were walking around Planet Hollywood, I noticed that Jean Claude van Damme's clothes were about 2/3 the size of Leonardo di Caprio's clothes. That was unexpected.

    A lovely high temp of 7 degrees today. Woo Hoo! Apparently supposed to soar back to the 20s and maybe even 34 by next Tuesday or Wednesday. Not even sure what this "above freezing" is after the past week or two.

    Wait until you get to three. A-mazeballs.
    Each season has a very, very different tone. All good. Never miss it. Always have a watching buddy.

    Is it wrong that I'm kind of enjoying Once Upon a Time? Am I alone on this?

    The answer is yes.

    I don't know if you still watch the games. Tonight's was pretty crazy. But a win is a win.

    I missed tonight's :( But I do watch them sometimes when I have time and can find it streaming (usually not hard).

    Actually, the etymology of soccer is kind of interesting. It's derived from "association," as in association football.

    From the OED:

    Calling it "football" also strikes me as similar to calling a car a "horseless carriage."

    I know, I know...there are many other sports that use simple names, such as "baseball"..."basketball"..."stickpuck"....

    Why can't Americans just call football gridiron?

    Seriously, gridiron is like the best word ever.

    ...

    @Remixer is just mad because... America.

    The metric system is stupid, too.

    So, my current girlfriend texted me from some bar/nightclub: "Some guy was flirting with me and said he'd smack me like a supermodel."

    This obviously has to be a thing, right? Man, I'm so off the hip wagon right now I'm drinking Crystal Pepsi and wearing slap bracelets.
