Five Random Things, Part II

1. Dog leashes that are 30 feet long. Spare me...Seriously, as someone who has been attacked by an unrestrained dog, please, do everyone a favor and cut the leash in half...you can use the half you cut off as an emergency tourniquite for the victim of your precious Cujo.

2. My 2 and a half year old son singing along to Peter Cetera in the car. I've signed him up to play football this year, you know, just to be on the safe side.

3. Salad Bars/All-You-Can-Eat Buffets...ugh. Do I really need to feel the way I do on Thanksgiving any other day of the year? No, and neither do you, so put the fork down and push yourself away from the table.

4. Job Interviews...please, tell me about yourself...what do you hope to be doing in 5 years?...what are your strengths/weaknesses?

5. Altar calls.

um


uh

And it's a good thing, because before you know it, every Danny Almonte out there will have an agent and be signing endorsement deals...and Bank of America will be there. Bank of America, the offical bank of Little Leage Baseball. Now with the call of today's action, here's Brent Musberger and Harold Reynolds.

5a. The neighbor kid across the street who learned to play AC/DC songs on his guitar...over and over and over and over...
