Ok folks, I’m spending the day with my family this week-end so I won’t be around here to entertain y’all. You’re on your own. So Sydney, sit down. Relax. Have a sandwich. Drink a glass of milk.

OK, here we go! Write it, and they will read. Well, as it turns out, Mrs. Q. Public never saw The Natural. So, on Friday night, we buckled in together and watched it. We laughed. We cried.

So, without further ado, I give you the All-Fictional Team: Read More »

Some folks may think the above video crosses the line. Some folks may think the above video is in bad taste. Those folks are probably right, but it sure is funny. Just so you know, I’m digging the Onion’s Sports Dome. Just so you know, I haven’t laughed this hard at sports anchors since Chet Harper said, “Tonight at the Alamodome, he gets Happy-Go-Jackie on the big white guy like a donkey eating a waffle! Sweet Sassy Molassey! Get out the checkbook and pay grandma for the rubdown as the Spurs beat the Heat, 86-79! So tune in, tell ‘em the Public sent ya. You won’t be disappointed.

Sunny day. Sweepin’ the clouds away. On my way to where the air is sweet. Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street? How to get to Sesame Street? -Sesame Street Theme
Public Service Announcement: Back in 1969, Sesame Street hit the airwaves. Here we are, more than forty years later, and the Muppets characters created by Jim Henson are still going strong. Still teaching us right from wrong. Bang the gong! Now I like Kermit, Oscar ans Big Bird as much as the next guy, but my favorite parts were when athletes made their guest appearances. After the jump, enjoy some of the best athlete appearances on Sesame Street of all time: Read More »

Back to life, back to reality. Back to life, back to the here and now. Yeah. Show me how, decide what you want from me. -Soul II Soul
Public Service Announcement: Jimmy Johnson won two Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys. Jimmy Johnson won a National Championship at The U. Now, Jimmy Johnson has another prize in mind.

(ABC 9PM ET) I’m not watching NIT. I’m not watching Blues/Blackhawks. I’m watching Lost. Sometimes in life we must patiently a long time for answers. We got ‘em last week all right. And how! Last week we got that the island is really a huge butt plug for evil. I think we got that Smokey is definitely not the good guy. I don’t care. It is my belief Jacob created his little Smoke Monster, and now the Monster has turned on him. I hope the Monster wins. Get your popcorn ready!
