  • George Carlin dies at 71

    Stuff

    I have long been a big fan of George Carlin. He and Robin Williams have always been my two favorite comedians, so I was saddened this morning to find out that George has left us. He will be missed.

  • Scholl Budget Vote

    Stuff

    The annual school budget votes are coming up next week, the 20th, and you need to get out and vote. The Levittown district has trimmed their budget to the point where it is less than a 4% tax increase (down from almost 7%), which is pretty good. And the district, according to the info they provided, is very efficient with the money it spends compared to other schools.

    And also, vote for Kimberly Smith for the Board of Ed, she is a great person and has 2 kids in the district, so you know she will always do what is right for the kids.

  • “Any given sunday….”

    Stuff

    Now that I am a bit more coherent, I have a bit more to say about the Superbowl, however, I would like to start this post with two quotes. The first was said by the character Tony D’Amato played by Al Pacino in the movie Any Given Sunday: “On any given Sunday you’re gonna win or you’re gonna lose. The point is - can you win or lose like a man?” In light of the behavior of Patriots coach Bill Belicheck, that quote is quite appropriate. Walking off the field before the game is officially over was quite rude. The 2nd quote is one from Couch Coughlin from the begining of the season that he had t-shirts made up of, “Talk is cheap. Play the game.” I think more than anything, that represents the Giants this season. I could go on and on, but there are plenty of web sites out there that are already doing that, so I will just end with this message to the entire New York Giants organization:

    Thank you.

    Go GIANTS!

    Tom aka “Lord Lillis” and I will be at Faddy Malones in Levittown to enjoy the game. After the Gitans win, expect a sloppy drunken post here about how great the game was.

  • My Library

    Stuff

    You will notice that the “Now Reading” section in the sidebar is gone. It is being replaced by something called GuruLib. GuruLib is a website that allows you to catalog all of your media. This means books, CDs, movies, computer games even. All of it. You can scan in bar codes, search by titles, etc. You can organize things by media type or any other way you wish on shelves. Write reviews and even share things, there is a system for loaning books out. Best of all, it is free. So far I have my entire Forgotten Realms catalog up there. I will be adding things over the next few weeks and will try to flesh it out as I go. Pretty cool stuff. If you want to see my complete library, click here.

  • “They said”

    Stuff

    n August, They said they were a mediocre team at best.
    In September, They said they were done for after two weeks of the season.
    In October, They questioned the longevity of the quarterback.
    In November, They questioned the longevity of the coach.
    In December, despite their turnaround, They gave up on them.

    Yet, in January the New York Giants were still playing football, despite all that They had said and predicted. But They still had no faith in them.

    In the Wild Card game vs Tampa, They said the Bucs would win. They were wrong.

    Then it was off to face America’s Team. The #1 NFC playoff seed. The almighty 13-3 Dallas Cowboys who had beaten them 2 times during the season. They said it couldn’t be done, hell it had NEVER been done. The #1 NFC seed (since they started the current playoff format in 1990) had NEVER lost the Divisional Playoff game. No team in the history of the NFL had ever won 9 games straight on the road. The ‘Boys were 7pt favorites. Jerry Jones had already given out player tickets to NFC Championship game that everyone assumed would be played in Dallas against the Green Bay Packers.

    So there I sat, with my fellow fans

    and watched as the NY Giants showed the world that

    THEY

    WERE

    WRONG!

    GO GIANTS!
