"Stop the Madness"

Okay I have to get some things off my chest here.

1 When old man winter is lurking about and the cold weather arrives why do people insist on making their homes or workplaces a flaming inferno? Department stores are the worse why do they think that everyone’s ideal room temperature is the same as my Grandmothers? Why do they feel the need to shoot extremely dry overpowering heat on the general public.

Heaters should make it so it isn’t cold in your home. Not make the place unbearably hot. Here is a hint if you have to either put your fan on or open a window to even out the temperature you might want to turn down the heat just a tad. I had a class at Rowan that the heat was set on 80 something and I almost died a few times.

2 In this area the Chicken Coop has a reputation of having the best wings around. The restaurant was always rumored to be place where you can buy crack. Maybe that seems odd, but the Angel Spa was really prostitution ring. The fact that people in Sterling always told me how good the coop was leads me to think that it was just the drugs that made it popular. I gave them a second chance recently the are maybe a C at best. All I have to say about their popularity is its got to be the crack!

3. I think the production crew for the Flyers games on Comcast Sportsnet is high most of the time. Each night they profile a player from the other team and provide a graphic with bulleted information about the player. Most of them are utterly retarded like telling the viewers at home that the player likes to score goals. Tonight they profiled a Calgary Flame and the first line said he had wheels like Mary Hart. I have no idea what this means and neither did any of the broadcasters. Coastsy went off one time because he had to stop in the middle of a point to read one of these graphics and it made no sense at all. Why not go over these before the game?


Here is another hint for the boys at Comcast Sportsnet when the broadcast team wants to illustrate a point it helps if the replay you show actually has something to do with the play they are mentioning. I mean I know they have a short time to get that up there, but its has been REALLY bad this year.

Tonight for example they wanted to see how a player got cut. The first replay had the mentioned players legs in the top left corner of the screen. They mentioned it was the wrong one. So they switched to Jeff Hackett making a save, and backed it up once or twice. Then they showed footage about 10 seconds after the incident had occurred. They have been bad of this all season, the broadcast team usually just gives up when seemingly unrelated footage sometimes from well over 10 minutes ago in the game is shown. The confusion often results in neglecting to cut away to live action. Maybe it is Box Car Hospador sabotaging the game after losing his job to Jonesy.
