"Make Like a Seasonal Plant and Leave"

My friend Rick has worked at Boscov's for almost an entire decade. This past week he gleefully put in his notice, because he accepted another job with a new company. Finally he is done his degree for something to do with computers. He is ready to leave the world of retail behind.

I worked in retail for 5.5 years, and they say once you leave you never want go back into that field. Hopefully A-hole customers and working till 10pm will be forever in the rearview mirror for my ride along the highway of life.

Anyway, Rick is going to be doing something either phones or computers (which is his field) I am not really sure I was half drunk when he explained the job to me. At any rate, he is happy to be getting out of Boscovs. So, congrats to my friend who reads this blog once a year. When I force him.

Now, I am sure since he has under two weeks left of him working there we will be going out to celebrate his new job. Which means I have to cancel my plans for my "Rick is a Boscov's Lifer" party. I hope its not too late to cancel the hookers and loaded guns and not be beat on the money.

"Cash Cows"

Vinny Chase and his lovable crew will be back for at least one more round. HBO has ordered a 4th season of the hit comedy series.

Oddly enough despite the last aired episode being tagged as "The Season Finale", 8 episodes actually remain of season 3 which will air sometime in March. They will be likely packaged together with the final 8 ever Sopranos episodes.

So the Sopranos season 6, will resume almost an entire year after it started. One wonders why it wouldn't be considered season 7. Not to mention the fact that HBO is releasing the first part of season 6 on DVD in the fall.

Its pretty obvious that HBO is milking their cash cows. Entourage and The Sopranos are their biggest shows right now. Lucky Louie has already been cancelled, and most their other shows have failed to catch on.

"The Devil Wears Cowboy Boots"

Tons of people came out to pay tribute to the Crocodile Hunter. From what I understand his daughter plans on following in his footsteps. I am sure TL will be happy to hear that. Interesting the same day Bush was called the DEVIL, by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez 7 times to the UN.

Which brings me to my readers poll. List the least Evil to most evil.

Bin Laden ,Saddam,Hitler,Bush and Steve Irwin

"All Kinds of Awful"

Worst NHL Uniforms EVER!
The Kansas City Scouts(left) looked like a bad hand me down fuzzy sweatshirt my mom made me wear in grade school. The very gay looking LA kings jerseys(far left), which turned out to sport a traditional queens crown instead of a king. Not to mention the Gordon's Fisherman look of the early early-mid 90's Islanders(above). Let us never forget the Flying V of Vancouver. All equally awful.

"Makeover in Buffalo"

The Buffalo Sabres rolled out their new jerseys earlier this weekend. I really don't know what this team is thinking. A few years ago they got rid of not only the logo, but changed all the colors. Going from Purple and Yellow to Black, White, Silver and Red. The later being the trendy colors in the league.

Now today they are almost looking like the Boston Bruins, with Yellow, White and Black. They also changed their logo yet again.

(Here is another peak at the New Look)

I guess I am old fashioned but, I just hate it when teams do this. Won't even feel like I am watching Buffalo at all this year. The only upside is they team has said they will use the original logo of the Buffalo jumping used up till 1997, on their third jerseys. Apperently, fans got wind of the new jerseys a month ago, and aren't happy.
