Dr. Ozzy and Jerry Springer

    Hey, everyone. I was just thumbing through the current issue of Rolling Stone. One of the regular features in the magazine is called "Ask Dr. Ozzy". Here's the recipe. Readers write in with questions for Ozzy Osbourne. Yes, that rocker person. I am truly amazed how good his advice is to some rather freaky questions. I can not share any of them on the blog but the questions cover the entire compass, believe me. In a way it makes good sense for Ozzy to know a lot about unconventional problems because his life has pretty much ran a gauntlet of strangeness. Also, the dude doesn't judge any one for their quirks and he is very funny.
    Which reminds me. I have really been enjoying Baggage with Jerry Springer. The stuff that these people own up to as baggage is mind-boggling. I think that I would make a good host for the show on those nights when Jerry was indisposed. The show's producers still haven't called me, failing utterly to recognize my talent. Sigh.
     My Falcons moved up in the draft to take a wide receiver. To do so they paid a high price in draft picks. In fact, I think they paid too much. Also, what good is great speed if you don't catch the ball well? But their young General Manager has a great feel for talent and the draft so who am I to complain? As for other Southern teams, I have a few thoughts. If I had been the Titans, I would have taken Blaine Gabbert instead of Jake Locker. Also, I'm not at all convinced that Carolina should have taken Cam Newton #1 overall. Again, the Panthers didn't call me to consult on any picks. There were a lot of surprises in the draft but I'll just mention a couple. I was surprised to see Mark Ingram go as late as he did. Also, I expected Ryan Mallett to be drafted in the first round. On the other hand, who can complain about the opportunity to make a few million while learning the position from Tom Brady?

Game Review: NFS, Hot Pursuit

    This game was one which I refused to download for a while, even though it was on sale for 99 cents. I thought that it looked boring and narrow. Boy, was I wrong! This game totally kicks butt. It is one of those rare games that will actually give you an adrenaline rush. It is that intense. The developers, EA Games, have recently updated the app to include two main avenues of play. You can either be the cops or the racers who are trying to evade the cops. As a racer you have to deal with cops trying to hit you and make you crash, cops buzzing you with helicopters, oncoming traffic, tack strips spread across the road and roadblocks. In the cop mode you are a cop and you are trying to stop a reckless racer by any means, fair or foul. As a racer you can use nitrous oxide for increased speed, overdrive capability and oil slicks. You also can jam the cops communication with a jamming unit. Like almost all games these days, it gets harder as you go along. I prefer my games to...

Four Free Games

     Hey, everyone. If free games makes the start of a new week a little better, we're in luck. Check these out on your friendly, neighborhood app store. 1) Cowboys vs. Aliens vs. Ninjas- This is a dual stick shooter, much like Mini-Gore . You are an old-west cowboy with a vast array of weapons (earned gradually). You have to move and shoot, avoiding death, as you battle Ninjas and aliens. Some aliens are quite large. Some enemies are big Sumo Wrestlers. There are sword-wielding ninjas and these aliens that yield a mini-nuclear explosion when killed. When your enemies die they leave behind little stacks of money, or skulls. You collect these items because of a strange hobby of trophy grabbing for your macabre collection. Just kidding, the items can be spent or used as the game progresses. This is a good game and I played it for a while last night. 2) The Heist - A puzzle game with a twist. As you try to open a bank vault, you must face a series of different puz...

Bottle On The Doorknob

      Hey, everyone. I took a day of vacation today and really enjoyed it. We went out and bought some flowers. Flowers don't do well up here as a rule so we buy some and have a couple of big pots of assorted flowers on the deck for the summer. This year we are going to set the pots out in the yard a bit. The reason for this is the moisture and dirt in the pots seems to attract ants, scorpions and perhaps gnats. Bloody drag, what?     This weekend there seemed to be a bad odor in the house in the area of the master bedroom and the master bath. We could not isolate what the problem was. We did a number of things, including pouring vinegar and baking soda down the drains, which boils them out in rather spectacular fashion. Put a handful small amount of baking soda down them first, then pour vinegar down them. Very cool.     We finally deduced that a mouse had crawled up between the floor and sub-floor underneath the jacuzzi, after ...
