All ages shows in Omaha? lazy-i breaks it down….

Anyone else notice the heavy influx of commercial interruptions to March Madness this year? The one time I bothered to keep track, we had 9 minutes of commercials interrupted by 35 seconds of PT. Maybe DVR has spoiled me, but I was forced to tape the game and turn off the TV [...]

student paper covers racial issues, school system panics

Ahhh…the crucible that is high school journalism. Benson (Omaha) High School’s student newspaper ran an apparently thoughtful and well-received issue about the so-called n-word (that would be ‘nigger’ for those scoring at home). OPS assures the community that “Appropriate action will ensue upon the completion of the investigation.” Uh, okay.

And yes, making 13 year old boys cry is a moral victory:
I was at an Orioles game, sitting pretty far back in left-center, right next to the visitors’ bullpen. In Camden Yards, the bullpens are on a hill, so you can look directly into the bullpen dugout. The players are maybe 15-20 feet away behind [...]

A few years ago, I visited Chile with my family after graduating from college. After landing in Santiago and paying my $50 Reciprocal Visa Fee, literally the first words out of my mouth were “¿Donde esta el baño”, putting my four years of high-school Spanish to good use.
