A little bit of this, a little bit of that

With no solid ideas, I present to you the second of many randomized thoughts from within the Mind of a Mihlfman...


-Apparently Indiana is trying to outlaw "ball-tapping". Most people who have gone through college know what this is. Many of us have probably even experienced it several times. They (Indiana gov) apparently want to outlaw it because it has seen a dramatic increase in the amount of testicular surgeries in the past two years. Somewhere John Bobbit is thinking "Really???"

-The song Airplanes by B.o.B. is simply amazing, and the remix (Airplanes II) with Eminem makes it that much better. I won't mind blaring this song everyday.

-Speaking of songs, here's my top 3 for ones I never want to hear again 1) All Summer Long by Kid Rock 2) Need you now by Lady Antebellum 3) Drive-thru by Justin Timberlake and Timbaland

-The Blackhawks have made the Stanley Cup finals. Their coach rocks a mustache Tom Sellek would be jealous of, and their star player, Patrick Kane, rocks a mullet. It's the power of hair compelling this team to the championship.

-ESPN's main NHL guy, John Buccigross, predicted a Chicago-Philly match-up in the Finals, back in the Pre-season. He is a true expert of the game, unlike every "Analyst" for the NFL and NBA.

-Land of the Lost bombed at the box office, but honestly after watching it twice on HBO, I don't see how. Will Ferrell is great even in his bad movies (Semi-Pro & Blades of Glory). Danny McBride is phenomenal as well, catch him in East Bound and Down, Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express.

-How is it that Oakland (Pittsburgh, PA) is the only area I've come across where they perfectly time their stop lights so you're not slamming on your brakes every few blocks? It helps keep a flow to traffic. The DMV area (DC/Maryland/Virginia) needs to take note. Whichever way the heaviest traffic flows, time your stoplights so that if you travel 30-35 mph you'll continuously hit all greens. This will greatly reduce backups, I personally guarantee it.

-Barack Obama recently predicted a Lakers vs Celtics finals. Wow, thanks B.O. for your insight into the game of basketball. We get that you're a fan of the game, but I believe you have more pressing matters at hand. I really hope both the Suns and Magic make it, just so he can be proven wrong again. The only thing worse than his approval rating is Dwight Howard's free-throw percentage (too far?).

-Speaking of negatives, an increasing trend I see in interviews with athletes is the use of the double-negative. They somehow believe it's correct to say, "He didn't do nothing against me". Well apparently he whipped your ass, because that means he did do "something". Maybe every sport should institute a Wonderlic (knowledge) test, and that way the Sports Reporters know which athletes they should avoid interviewing.

-Apparently Miss DC (yes that is a title) is complaining of being "touched" while strolling the streets of Georgetown. DC 11 (news station) reports this is a growing concern within the area. REALLLLLLLY???? Attractive women are being touched in bars? Someone get Bo Bama on the phone! This alcohol stuff has to be stopped!

-Finally, it's good to see Bret Michaels will be making a full recovery. This guy has both had the best and worst of luck. Worst, because of his recent string of heart problems. Best, because he's somehow stayed relevant 22 years after his band, Poison, released their only hit "Every Rose has its thorn". That my friends is impressive.

  1. That Airplanes II song is amazing. I believe you meant to say "Carry out" by JT and Timbaland in the third bullet
