Man-Crush Overload!!

In this video (which has no sound for some reason), you see President Barack Obama throw out the first pitch in the 2009 MLB All-Star Game. Catching the pitch is Cardinals 1B Albert Pujols. Both of these guys show up in my man-crush list.

Even in complete silence, the images are inspiring!

Blues Playoff Exit Thoughts

Like many fans of the St. Louis Blues, I am just happy they made the playoffs, after a five year drought. And, I will join the chorus of fans and pundits saying this really is a learning experience for such a young team.

I stopped shaving and grew a solidarity playoff beard. I shaved it as soon as the game was over and I got back home. Couldn't even make it thru the night. Which is OK. I prefer to be clean-shaved anyway.

I really do hope this is the start of great things for the Blues. I hope the fans aren't treated to another 30 years of playoff mediocrity.

And I do think the drought has made the STL fanbase a bit more appreciative of the playoff.

Sorry, dear readers. Nothing new, original, or exciting in this post. I agree with pretty much everyone else on this issue.

I tried this a while back. I fell in love with it instantly. And yes,it is very smooth. Besides, I really the above commercial.

A little tip: Try it over some premium vanilla ice cream.

Creepy BK

How creepy is this?

Fantasy Golf Update

Wow! That's all I can say, dear reader. I find it fascinating just how uninterested I am in Fantasy Golf. Was not prepared for that.

I just don't care as much as I thought I would. Oh well. Live and learn.

I'll be sticking with football and hockey for my fantasy sports from now on.

New Batman Cartoon

As you know, dear readers, I am slow on the uptake sometimes. Apparently, there's a new Batman cartoon on. I've seen a few episodes. It's called "Batman: The Brave and The Bold". Apparently, each episode is Batman teaming up with some hero to fight some villain or other.

For me, the gold standard will always be the classic "Batman: The Animated Series". form the 1990s.

But this one is kinda cool in its own way. It's like a stylized, animated version of the 1960's show, but way less campy. Enjoy the clip!

I dunno. I enjoy it.
