Clip Your String Chatty Cathy

I stole (borrowed really...see if that keeps the cuffs off me) the title from Grosse Pointe Blank. And to top it off, I'm stealing (ahem, free advertising really) this question from Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas who posted the following on Facebook (man, by naming facebook am I violating some trademark rule?? 2 sentences into a blog and I've got more misdemeanours than ____ [insert joke here]??) Here goes...
"If you were one of those dolls that you pull the string in their back and they say a certain phrase(s), what would you say?"

Well.... ?

Not Hating the Officiating

I was amused during the Dallas Cowboys game today when the official had to stop part way into the penalty call because it was so complicated but at least he was having a little fun with it. Good for you buddy, keep it light. I'm not sure what the rules are for the officiating team, but I would have loved it if he turned on his mic for take 2 and said, "ok, let's try this again...". To push it even more, I'm sure they'll joke about, "ok, let's just say some guy on the offense got a holding call, some guy on the defense got unneccessary roughness, those offset, there was some other call, suffice it to say the ball will be on the X yard line, 1st down Dallas."

Oh, and boy do I love it when the offense gets into rhythm with the skip button on my pvr. Makes it seem like they're moving up the field SO efficiently! Of course sometimes QB's like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are just too quick for me to use the skip, that's cool too.

On a related note, holy *&^#, it's been nearly A YEAR since I posted?! And the last post was about football too. Huh.

P.S. Speaking of sports, a VERY late congrats to the Chicago Blackhawks for winning the Stanley Cup.
