God of Berenstain Bears World Dies
Stan Berenstain, the guy who, partnered with his wife, made the classic doctor's office moral lessons, The Berenstain Bear books, died yesterday. For forty years the man, who died at the age of 82, taught us how to fess up when we break tree windows with baseballs, take it like a bear when our enraged Papa bear chases us with a rake, and avoid sweet tasting food that might make out childhood a bit happier. He died in Pennsylvania, because no one comes here to live, just to die a slow death.

Sparkly Nose Ring: Thumbs Up from Pete
I've decided, after long deliberation, that I appreciate, and may well prefer, the Sparkly nose ring thing that some women wear. It's not the best idea to wear a Sparkly, light-reflecting piece on your nose, because eyes are drawn to it. Then you'll think people are staring at your nose and you'll get self-conscious. Whatever though, I've found that, for me and many other cavemen, I enjoy talking to people who have these rings because not many people can hold attention continuously. This isn't to say that everyone's not interesting, but there are usually lulls in a conversation that give you opportunity for escape to go about your life. If I'm in a conversation with a Sparkly nosed person, I can't end the conversation because even when no words are being spoken, I'm still interested in shiney objects. I suggest you rearrange your thought process so that you find the same appreciation for the trend too.

ComcastSportsNet Video Mail
Okay, you may not live in the shitty state of Pennsylvania, and for that I'm jealous. OF course you may not live in any area that has Comcast cable either. Years ago There were many tiny cable companies and Comcast came in and bought them all. Then, like all cable companies, they expanded into the internet. Now, to couple both, they have their sports channel willing to play video emails of their sports opinions, predictions, etc. This means they have less work to do, and you can be on TV (but only if you have Comcast internet). So they have a commercial to promote this thing, and the sample they show-- which you would think should be the ideal example of what they're looking for-- is this guy going, "I think, by season's end, somelamefootballplayer will have a better season." It bugs me every time I see the commercial, because I don't know who the player is, but they aren't talking about a superstar having a bad season, so obviously this guy's sucking pretty bad. Logically, the guy can't have anything but a better season, right? Well that just bugs me.
