I Won...

This morning, as it is almost every morning, I was listening to the Sports Junkies on 106.7 The Fan. Today is Game Show Wednesday, and they were playing Junkies Shootout, where they ask you random trivia questions, and if you answer 3 right, you win a prize.

My 3 questions were as follows:

1. What is the #1 disease that is tied to dementia?
2. Within 1 point, how many points is John Wall averaging?
3. What college basketball team does Ashley Judd follow as a die-hard fan?

In case you were wondering, my answers were as follows:

1. Alzeheimers
2. I had no idea, as I hate the NBA, and guessed 18, and nailed it.
3. Easy...Univerity of Kentucky

I won a $50 Gift Card to Famous Dave's BBQ.

Here is Ashley at a UK Game looking good

Things I Hate...

in no particular order:

• Monday Night Football
• Beltway Traffic headed to Monday Night Football...is there a worse place to hold MNF then DC?
• Taking 90 minutes to get to my tailgate
• Getting to my tailgate, and realizing I dropped my socks at home on the way to the car
• Being excited all day for my favorite sandwich (Italian Store Muffaletta), only to open the bag at the tailgate and realized they screwed up the order, and I got a completely different sandwich
• Getting to my seats, and seeing the Redskin punt, and think we went 3 and out on the opening possession, when in all reality, we were actually already down 7-0
• Being completely surrounded by Eagles fans...I mean completely!
• Getting rained on!
• Getting our asses handed to us on national television to the tune of record setting points
• Realizing my feet are cold and wet, because I dont have socks on
• Betting with my friend before the game, and taking the under at 44...when Philly took care of that by themselves before halftime.
• Driving home after the game, and being excited about stopping at McDonalds, only to pull into the drive-thru and it be "Closed for Cleaning." How often does this happen? Annually?
• Going to Wendys and having awful "spicy nuggets"
• Did I mention we lost? Awesome!

Happy Veterans Day

Happy Veterans Day to all of our Soldiers, Saliors, Airmen, and Marines.

Many thanks for all that you have done, and all that you do.

We appreciate you in more ways than words can describe!

P.S. I am very patriotic person, and I love the flag...but US Flag Ties are super cheesey

Hummer Vehicles

I saw a guy in the airport wearing a T-Shirt that said Hummer, and in little letters "Like Nothing Else"

Given where Hummer is today in the auto business, I thought the tag line was very poignant.

So much so that they are out of business all together.

Election Day

Well it is now Wednesday after Election Day, and there are a few attitudes I can take regarding the outcome:

• I can be pissed that we did not do better in the Senate...
• I can be elated about the landslide in the House...
• Overall, I can be happy with the outcome....

I take option 3.

Here are a few other notes:

• I love that the 1 Congressman who got "in-person" support from the President, lost (the Charlottesville, VA representitive)
• Overall VA looks to be going back to its roots, after a few years on the Dark Side
• Interesting battle still looms in the VA 11th, as Fimian and Connolly are headed for a recount
• There is something I like about the WV Democrat who won the Senate seat. He seems down to Earth, and might vote with the Republicans, when appropriate. He is only there for 2 years, and must understand that if he wants to go back to Washington, he needs to stay middle of the road
• I would have liked to see Barbara Boxer lose, but Carly Fiorina, and all her cash, was just not meant to be.
• I am not sure what the lesser of 2 evils is...Harry Reid being elected, or him losing and Chuck Schumer taking the Majority Leadership position. I think I would rather have Harry Reid to be honest...
• I think John Boehner is going to run the House with a vice like grip. Eric Cantor will be there to ensure that as well.
• Sayonara Russ Feingold

I am not sure what this will mean for 2 years from now, (as I do not have a Crystal Ball), but it sure looks like Obama might be in trouble. Keep an eye out for Marco Rubio to make a run for President (it is not unheard of for a 2 year Senator to make a run)....

P.S. Regarding Krystal Ball (VA-D 1st)....she lost bad...oh well, I can only imagine the fun Bill O'Reilly would have had with that one!

It Is Now Officially a Redskins Season...

Courtesy of my Brother...

"Nothing stamps a Redskins season "Official" until you have a humiliating loss to the Lions or Rams (or both) and management undermines the Starting QB. -- Well now its Official."

I think it is fair to bring this image back to the forefront:
