Stop Calling Him That, For God’s Sake!
Ok, I’ve had it. I’ve let this go on long enough. I must say something. Why do people insist on calling Madison Bumgarner MadBum? On every level, it’s a terrible nickname. There aren’t many levels mind you, but it’s awful on all of them. It’s not creative, it sounds a little insulting and just thinking …
Simply Delicious
And now, Gill with a few nice words for a restaurant she ate at while she was off doing the family visiting thing. While I was visiting my parents in the town I grew up in we went for dinner at this local restaurant called Simplicity. I have been there a few times, and can …
Unless You’re Getting Rid Of It, Leave The Intentional Walk Alone
Some of the ideas that Major League Baseball’s Pace of Game Committee has come up with aren’t bad at all. Limiting the time between pitches, when a batter can step out of the box and the number of times catchers can hike over and helpfully tell the pitcher to throw a strike will all do …

The …
Bananas…Bananas…
I ate a banana this morning. I eat bananas on lots of mornings. but it’s not every morning I eat a banana and then spend the next 8 hours singing this.
Jihad
Given everything going on in the world these days, this seems appropriate. I wish I knew what was going on in this guy’s homemade video. The comments I skimmed on YouTube either call it hilarious or they want him killed. I’m just posting it for the song, which I love. The Twisted Tunes folks are …
I Just Can’t Buddy Up To The Buddy Bench
Call me jaded or cynical if you’d like, but I’m not so sure about this here “buddy bench” idea. It’s a simple concept. You put a bench on your school’s playground, call it a buddy bench and explain to the kids that if they’re lonely, they can sit on it and that will signal the …
More Pay Is Good, But The Broadcast Industry Will Figure Out How To Make It Mean Less Money
Well. This sure is depressing. The voice of an impoverished person can be heard at any time in most small cities and towns across Canada simply by turning on the radio. But it’s not the people interviewed on talk shows or in news sound bites who could use some extra cash. Retired broadcast radio instructor …
