Great addition to EBAY.

I stumbled across this article and thought Koko and Kluge would get a kick out of this Yankee legend's autograph. According to the article nothing bad, but apparently the Old Mick likes to sign autographs after he has put a few back.......

Man, I love these funny little stories that come out. Again, it must be difficult being a celebrity in today's tech saavy world. Imagine if people at Gators were reporters roving for a story and they overheard us up to our old antics after a game. I can only imagine the great stories that could come from that.

OK, so I have to do a mini-rant Blaze is Burning style just to fire up the dojo and to keep my sanity. First of all just in case anyone travels to Atlanta their Expressway system is set up in a Circle instead of the traditional East-West set-up the rest of America follows. I recently went there and assumed my trek back to the Airport from the hotel would simply be the opposite of the way I got there........Not So. Thus, I missed my flight and had the unfortunate opportunity to spend a whole day at the ATL airport.....Brutal!

I came to the conclusion that a trip to the airport is the last real micro-cosm for a true worldly analogy. With technology the way it is people don't have to interact with other people as much as they used to anymore. Thus, Americans really don't know how to truly interact with other people face to face. I spent the whole day watching people wander around the airport not knowing what the "F" is going on and being completely oblivous to the people around them. It is kind of a larger metaphor for life. There were people who knew where they were going and were in a rush but then there were idiots who didn't know (me most of the time) and were looking up at screens or down at their cell phones, or simply talking or texting on their phone while wandering along down the narrow stretch of the airport terminal. I could not believe how confused the Herd of America looks. And the Confused people slow down the one's that know where they are going. It is kind of like the mess we have in America today. You know the financial crisis. The Mortgage mess caused by people spending out of there means and greedy businesses taking advantage of them and then dragging everyone else down with them.

I mean you could not walk in an orderly line to your terminal. It's similar to I-4 but if one lane had somebody going 15 MPH, one lane somebody was pulled over checking their text messages, and the other lane in the middle had people trying to drive anywhere from 50-85 MPH........Total confusion and bedlam.

Plus, I saw this little kid puke all over that walkway and hundreds of people didn't even notice and just kept walking by right through the puke while they talked on their phones or jammed to their Ipods.

I truly think Computers are planning their takeover "Terminator" style because anyone under the age of 35 at the airport was completely and totally addicted to their machine of choice (Cell Phone, IPOD, and/Or Crackberry). And believe me, the Crackberry is the machine of choice for today's America. It is even amazing to see Older people even elderly addicted to their Crackberry to the point of they are totally oblivous to the world around them and even forget to order while waiting in a large line to get coffee.........I mean honestly you can't stop emailing while it is your turn to order? If there are 25 people in a rush to order something then when it comes to your turn it should be a law that you cease and desist from your machine to interact properly with the person trying to take your order so the line can continue moving in an orderly fashion.........really I don't think that is too much to ask.

Allright, one last rant. With the cut-backs in Airlines I also had the displeasure of feeling first hand how important it is to not miss your flight. Each flight I tried to catch stand-by was overbooked on average by 10 people. The poor agent had so many things going on she didn't want to deal with people. She had the audacity to tell me she didn't have time to help me figure out my flight and I might as well rent a car cause I had slim to none chance of catching another flight. I had to remind her that, correct me if I'm wrong but that is her job to help the customers get where they are going, even if they miss a flight. I mean that doesn't make me some monster. I later found out that U.S. Airways (the carrier I was on) used to fly over 600 flights a typical day......now they fly just over 300........and thus the reason all the flights are way overbooked.

OK, Kids if you made it through this I will buy you a shot Friday night...........and Who is making a recap of the game??????
