Trivia

I just finished a series where I learned that Satan is, oddly enough, the stepfather of God. What series did I finish?

Mean Mr. Mustard has been meaning to post on this

but just hasn't found the time yet.

Is there a more meaningless statistic in baseball than the hold? The thought is valid - a way to statistically quantify the value of middle relievers. But something is obviously wrong with the implementation. Today Alan Embree got a Hold - despite the fact that all three batters he faced got on base and scored. Here's his line:

IP H R ER BB K HR Season ERA
A. Embree (H, 3) 0.0 1 3 2 1 0 0 7.79

[Straight Line:] It must be nice to have a job where you can be a complete and utter failure and still get the spoils of success.

Oh crap

Subliminal Parenting

While Kelson sits in the living room reading Animal Babies, ABC, he is listening to American Idiot.

So, which is it?

Are lions noble and wonderful, or vindictive and evil? They need to make up their minds, because I'm getting confused.

Father's Day

We had a very nice Father's Day, and one that Scooter should appreciate. We (myself, my dad, my grandfather and my brother, along with our significant others and children) went to New Ulm to go on the Schell's brewery tour. It's short and simple, which is good when one member of the party is a couple months removed from knee replacement surgery. And you definitely recoup your $2 entrance fee in the taphouse afterward. We finished up the brewery tour with a trip to Happy Joe's pizza. Ah, Happy Joe's pizza...

Pizza and beer - it's easy to please fathers.

I can die a happy man, now

I just saw Bo Bice perform on the Today Show. Life is good.

I will now go shoot myself

The National Father's Day Council has announced their four finalists for Father of the Year. The finalists include Donald Trump and Larry King, who have combined for 10 marriages and 10 children. How can I compete with that?

Full Story Here.

Very odd

I can now provide Mean Mr. Mustard a reason to watch the NBA Finals. I was watching the Heat-Pistons game last night and whenever I saw Chauncey Billups I knew that he looked like somebody, but I couldn't place who. Eventually I realized that, as odd as it seems, Billups looks like Scott Hanson. Not all the time, of course, but it is especially noticeable after a call that Billups doesn't like. He and Hanson have almost the exact same expression when showing their disgust for a call.

This is the best picture I could find, and it doesn't really do the similarity justice:



It is probably wise to keep in mind, however, that I only have the brain the size of a walnut.

Ouch

I know my opinion doesn't count for much, but seeing Hakeem like this is just painful. I'm sure Mean Mr. Mustard agrees completely.
