Now that we’ve landed in September on the calendar, the San Francisco Giants season comes down to the final 25 games. It’s good that every one of those games are against the pathetic National League West, including six against the division leading (and not pathetic) Arizona Diamondbacks. It’s also good that usually the starting pitchers [...]

This and That

Just a few of the items floating through the mental in-box of ALS Boy these past few days. The San Francisco Giants converged on the White House today to celebrate last year’s World Series Championship with President Obama. No truth to the rumor that Brian Wilson’s Beard was forced to go through additional security screening [...]
Celluloid Rock Stars

Everyone knows how much I love music. A close second on that list is my love for movies. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that whenever some rock band graces the silver (or flat) screen with even twenty seconds of their onstage act, the collision of these two elements from my pop culture [...]
Q & A Time

Who is your favorite Beatle? Which Rocky Horror Picture Show character do you secretly wish to be? If you could only listen to the music of either Rush or U2, which would you choose? Why did you decide to become a math teacher? What’s it like eating every meal through a feeding tube? Even though [...]
Best Laid Plans

Some of my best ideas have come to me while shaving. Standing in front of the sink with a towel around my waist and staring at my Edge gel covered face in the mirror, the creative thoughts seem to flow inside my mind like the warm water draining out of the faucet as it washes [...]
A Little Help from My Friends
Posted in Ask the Audience on April 5, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Other than the most basic of necessities, like being showered and fed and adjusted and suctioned (to name a few), I really don’t ask for a lot of things. Just give me my eye gaze, recliner, flat screen, and time to spend with family and friends, and I’m good to go. However, that said, there [...]
Conundrum
Posted in Allegedly Funny, Ask the Audience on April 1, 2011 | 11 Comments »
As the weather turns warmer and cargo shorts replace blue jeans as the official lower body wardrobe choice of ALS Boy, I suddenly find myself with an interesting dilemma. Do I continue to do what I have done all winter long and by doing so risk drawing scorn and critical glances from friends and strangers [...]

Can you believe that baseball season begins tomorrow? It only seems like yesterday that we were watching the Giants win their first World Series Championship in San Francisco history. Wow, talk about a fast five months. Before we get to the prognostication part of the post, I would like to share with you some baseball [...]
A Final Post-Mortem

Now that the Super Bowl is over and done with for another year, what did you think about: The Black Eyed Peas Halftime Show. Personally, I would have preferred to have seen them just lip-sync their set instead of actually “singing” it. They were pretty terrible to listen to live and if they thought that [...]
Roll Over Mr Blackwell

Retraction – To anyone who was misled by my statements in item five of yesterday’s post regarding Fehmeen’s enthusiasm for the game of football, I apologize. Nothing even remotely like the way I described it went down, in fact, the opposite was true. She had her fingers in her ears and was loudly singing La [...]
