For My Memory

For future blogs, these topics may or may not be used:

• Which was the greatest NBA team? Using the definition of team as a collective group who dominate the game (thus excluding the greatest basketball player ever to live and his cohort of supporting characters), I'm going to choose from one of the following teams: The LA Lakers of the 80's, the Piston currently, the Celtics of the late 70's to mid 80's, or the Philadelphia 76ers of the 60's. I'm leaning toward the argument for the current Pistons...which will make for an interesting posting.
• What's the point of wisdom teeth? Why hasn't evolution rid us of these nuisance body parts?
• Why is fashion even in existence? I mean, what's the point or difference between buying club clothes from Marshalls versus jetting to Paris to sip a macchiato while pointing at collections of threads that have a thousand dollar label? An expose to come, mayhaps.
• Does my friend Toby resemble any specific television characters?
• Why are cheese, caviar, truffles, and pate so darned delicious? Is it the fact that they are labeled as gourmet or does it singe the nostrils just so? On the flip side, if we made gourmet pork cracklings (using saffron oil and delicate sprinkles of goat cheese kosher salt), would it be the rave in NYC?
• Further delving into the proper rules of video game etiquette...such as, if your opponent's girlfriend distracts you from the game (doing something like vacuuming), then two punishments must be meted: the opponent must lose control of their controller for one play (sports game) or one round (fighting game), AND the offending girlfriend must drive to the local convenience store to buy a six pack of beer (Sam Adams or above in quality...none of that Milwakee's Best, thank you very much).
• Do you answer the phone while having sex?
  
• Another installment of a page from a hypothetical film script/sketch show script.
• Does my friend Toby resemble any specific cartoon characters?
• Annoying habits of the homeless.
• The crankiness of employees in retail outlets: the dehumanizing effects of commerce in an economically unfair world.
• Drunk indie bitches.
• How to cook a chicken vindaloo using no chicken and having the outcome nothing like vindaloo...a true story. I started cooking, expecting an indian dish, using absolutely no indian spices, nor using the meat stated in the title. I actually made something resembling a beef stew. I'm educated, can you believe it?
• Finally, a rundown of the best fantasy baseball predictions this side of Maxim magazine: example of the stellar information only found at standardchuck - pick up Mike Piazza...trust me...he's gonna hit for average and ribbies. Or how about this nugget: pick up either the 1b of the Marlins, or other corner infielders with the first name of Jose. Except that firstbaseman of the Marlins...I think his first name is Jeremy. Or is that OF? Well, just take anyone who isn't white.

All coming, from standardchuck...all the news that's fit to print...um...pixelate from your screen.
