Weekend Rumblings

I know my train of thought already wanders enough for most to be confused by it, but here's some random food to munch on...

* The news coming out of Coachella music festival was that Faith No More put on an amazing reunion show. It would have been great to see Jay-Z pair up with them instead of LCD Soundsystem. Faith No More was the original "rap/rock" type band, but I hate classifying them as such, because they are so much more. Mike Patton (lead singer) may have one of the most maniacal shows in the business, but can do so because of his amazing vocal range. I'd highly recommend checking out FNM's greatest hits (Who Cares a lot?). The cover of "Easy (like Sunday Morning)" is quite entertaining.

* In speaking with Gigs, I've found that on Match.com profiles, those that say "Loyalty is a MUST", just screams "I've been cheated on and am a bit paranoid about it".

* Caps fans can now rest easy and they no longer can scream about how the NHL is against them. The amount of calls they received Saturday night was ungodly, most of which occurred during the act of scoring their 4 comeback goals. Running into the goalie is now acceptable along with the Refs not calling for a freeze on the play when a goalie clearly has it covered.

* Bicycle riders in DC need to make up their mind. Either sidewalk or street. When I'm walking they seemingly take over the sidewalk, while driving they weave through traffic with reckless abandonment, you'd think they were on a suicide watch.

* Heard an interesting story Saturday from a bartender who said he was dating this girl for 6 months and she had a license plate "Pr1ncess". He was shocked when after the 6 months she approached him with concerns about him not buying her anything recently. Really? you were shocked? I know women check out guys; shoes, eyes, teeth, hair, in some order. If I were him, the first things I'm looking at are license plates, pictures up around her place, and the way she dresses for any clues towards craziness.

* The NFL Draft is now going PRIMETIME! Now millions of Americans will utilize words such as "upside", "coachable", "sleeper", and "bust" in their daily lives. Can't you just imagine, during your next break-up speech, "I'm sorry baby, this relationship had such a high upside, but ultimately through your actions recently, I'm gonna have to label you a bust." Best of luck in free agency.

* Best places to find those "sleeper" picks in women: bookstores and gym.

* Worst place to find "coachable" women, women's rights discussion groups.

* I'm not sure which MAJOR newsstory in the past week has been less shocking, Ricky Martin coming out or Goldman Sachs being accused of fraudulent activity by the SEC.

REALLY??

* Is it me or is the Volcano smoke story a bit absurd. No airplane can apparently fly through this smoke? Yet we are led to believe almost every major aircraft is equipped with an auto pilot mechanism and I imagine some type of "windshield wipers". Set the plane's destination, flick on auto-pilot, and once you clear the smoke spray some Windex. Here's a coupon in case the industry is really struggling ( http://www.windex.com/coupon/outdoor-all-in-one-march09/).

I mean this isn't "Smocke" or the smoke monster from Lost were talking about here, just fly around it!
