    Any big league sports stars from your hometown?

    Did you hit it? In my imagination? Daily. In real life? Hell no -- like I'm going to make any advances on a chick whose brother is a free safety in the NFL. Although I'm glad science was my weakest subject because my buddy, Lee, and I were always the last ones to finish our experiments. The highlight of this class was when Lee knocked over our one experiment that was on/in a bunsen burner, and the fire only got worse when he went to put it out with water. I ran across the room to get a fire blanket (not knowing there was one RIGHT BEHIND US) and the rest of the class didn't even look up. It burnt a hole clean through my notebook. Also, the day I found out she was related to Mark was when I noticed her last name on a worksheet. I asked her if she was related to him. She grinned and said he's my brother. This was right after the Bills lost in the Super Bowl for the fourth time...

    Giving out candy tonight? Go chocolate...

    The better half made these bags filled with chocolate balls with an "eye" wrapper, Starburts and Reeses stuff. The highlight of the night was seeing this one person she knows first come to the door with her granddaughter that was a lovechild for this woman's son. Later that night she came back with her legitimate grandson. And why didn't AMC show the Halloween movies in some sort of order? I was about to beat my better half when she was asking 1,000 about Mikey and friends, and the only thing I could do was try and explain that there are "three" Halloween stories...

    Giving out candy tonight? Go chocolate...

    For one night out of the year, can't we just forget that we're a nation of fatties and let the children pig out on mini-Snickers, Milky Ways and friends? And I HATED getting raisins as a kid -- granola wasn't as bad. (Regarding the bolded text -- Now if you're a fat slob, SUE YOUR NEIGHBORS!!!) Just a warning though, this story may be inaccurate based on the source... ANNAPOLIS — Kindly neighbors may think they're doing kids a favor by tossing granola bars (search) or boxed raisins into trick-or-treaters' bags, but these "candies in costume" can be more harmful to teeth than chocolate bars. Dentists and nutritionists warn that some seemingly healthy treats actually stick to teeth longer than foods with soluble sugars, so the teeth end up in contact with the sweets longer. As a result, parents should monitor which candy and how much of it their children consume. The potentially tricky treats include granola bars, peanut butter crackers, jelly beans, raisins and caramels. "Our conventional mind says that chocolate may be the worst, but there are things that are more harmful," said Ross Heisman, dentist and member of the Anne Arundel County Dental Society (search). The damage, Heisman said, depends on how sticky the food is and how much it adheres to teeth. Everyone knows that feeling of stubborn bits of candy wedged in teeth, but Heisman said the potential damage to kids' choppers can be avoided easily enough. "You need to brush within a reasonable period of time," said Heisman, who used to disappoint many Halloweeners by passing out toothbrushes on the holiday. Getting more into the spirit of the holiday, he now gives out little toys less likely to rot children's teeth, or cause a frown when they hit a tot's sack. Dentists are not the only ones warning about the dangers of unrestricted Halloween candy consumption. The American Academy of Pediatrics (search), in recognition of a national focus on obesity, has made a short list of several steps to ensure a healthy, safe All Hallows Eve. The organization recommends that kids eat a healthy meal before going out to trick-or-treat so they'll be less inclined to gorge on candy. The AAP also suggests waiting until the end of the night to sort through the booty and allotting kids specific portions of candy. "Be very careful about super-sweet treats," said Daniel Levy, a pediatrician from Owings Mills, Md., who suggested handing out fruit, vegetables and homemade goodies. Very sweet candies often contain corn syrup, a cheap sweetener that can cause cravings for more goodies, Levy said. Those cravings can develop into lifelong bad eating habits that contribute to obesity problems. If children do receive a lot of candy, experts recommend that parents limit children to eating it no more than two or three times per week. Well-meaning parents can substitute treats with other non-edible goodies. Crayons, yo-yos, Play-Doh, jacks and Nerf balls are some popular Halloween treats that Wal-Mart stores have noticed are all selling well this season. The AAP also suggests coloring books, connect-the-dot and memory games as possible rewards to distribute to children. However, no matter how much care parents put into choosing and limiting treats, Heisman said excess and sugary treats are inevitable at Halloween. "Children will consume a lot more sweets than they usually do," he said. "Parents should supervise young children and monitor their consumption." Sandy Procter, a registered dietitian at Kansas State University Research and Extension (search), told Culinary.net that the best way to curb kids' candy consumption is to focus on the other aspects of the holiday. "You can focus on the excitement of the day, and make getting candy less of an issue," Procter said. "The big deal is dressing up and seeing the pumpkins on the steps."

    QB passes on Record

    Sad that the kid outclasses his coach. First thought when reading this story was that injured chick who was allowed to make a lay-up in order to set some women's NCAA scoring record. I thumbed my nose at that, and I thumb my nose at this "record"...

    Big Labor endorses Dean

    But he's a pro-union guy -- he said so himself. Oh Lord, last night (or was it Thursday?) when watching a Joe Sca-what's-his-name segment on MSNBC regarding Mikey telling a bunch of his mind-numbed supporters the private phone number of some talk-radio guy, I saw one of the most repulsive images in my life. While watching footage from his last comedy, err documentary, I noticed a wedding band on Mikey's hand...

    OAO Alien: Directors Cut Thread

    A lot of people like this film, but I never cared for it -- I liked the second one a lot better. One thing I didn't like about it was: Spoiler (Highlight to Read): When the black guy (my favorite character) basically gave his life for that dumb woman the chance to escape and she just sat there and cried. Oh, and what was so different about the director's cut?...

    Loria pledges no fire sale

    Well, people that work in Allegheny County have to pay a tax for the privilege of working there, so PSL's make perfect sense to me. Heck, why don't we have a tax for the privilege of breathing air while we're at it?...

    Big Labor endorses Dean

    That's why it's called BIG labor. Either that or because union people are fat. Say, do you know there's a certain pro-union media guy that's also fat? (come on Jobber, I lobbed you a softball here...)

    Of course. The media filming this probably wanted to tape the arresting officer to infringing on the shooter's civil rights or something...

    "The Reagans"

    Well, Reagan's biography was part fiction, why not the TV show? This is just reason #456 why I don't watch network TV anymore, sans NYPD Blue. kkk -- who can't wait for Bruce Willis to play Bill Clinton, a president that when he vetoed the partial-birth abortion ban said, "Well, they would probably have voted Republican when they got older anyway. It's best that we suck their brains out now before Newt does." Hey, if Hollywood can make up stuff, why can't I?...
