TMI Thursday: Find a Kid Next Time
2009-06-11 15:27:00
Yesterday was Kids Eat Free Day at California Tortilla where you received a free kid's meal for each adult entree purchased. What a great deal as kid's meals are $4 or $5. So my friend visited a friendly neighborhood CalTort and ordered a Honey Lime burrito and a "Make Your Own Platter" off of the kids menu consisting of grilled chicken strips with shredded cheese and two 6" tortilla shells plus chips and queso, a brownie and a drink. When asked if I (I mean, my friend) had the child with him, the reply was that, no, he was at home. The employee then stated that the child must be present for this deal. This bit of information was not included on the California Tortilla website or the CalTort e-mail. However, I (sorry, my friend) did not want to argue since there was not a child at home, only a kitten. The nerve of my friend for even trying to get a free kid's meal even though there was no child!Make sure to visit LiLu for more of your TMI Thursday needs. Plus, you can click here...

Buy Dan a Burrito and Get His Dog One Too
2009-06-10 20:19:00
This is the quote Mike Lange should use if the Penguins win the Stanley Cup on Friday night. If you haven?t heard or read about this, Pittsburgh?s Head Coach Dan Bylsma eats an Ancho Chile Pork BBQ Burrito at Qdoba before Penguins home games. Qdoba franchise owner Chad Brooks believes Bylsma is 20-1 when eating his lucky burrito (not including Tuesday night?s game six victory). Yahoo's Puck Daddy has much more about the burrito superstition, but someone needs to make sure that HCDB gets his burrito in Detroit on Friday!

Hooray for Adam Lambert
2009-06-10 15:28:00
When I first started Sean?s Ramblings, I thought most of my entries would be pop culture related. It?s turned out to be more about personal stories, Pittsburgh sports and trivia, but I do write about television, music, movies, etc. on occasion. Since I am anxiously waiting for game six of the Penguins-Red Wings series to begin (I?m obviously writing this on Tuesday evening), I thought I would occupy my time by writing about the big news on Yahoo: American Idol?s Adam Lambert announced that he was gay. Here were my immediate reactions:1. I am shocked! I can?t believe that he is gay! Next you?re going to tell me that Clay Aiken and Elton John are gay.2. Honestly, who really cares? I?m happy that Lambert is comfortable with himself and his sexuality. While I'm sure this is a big step for him, I am hopeful that we?re getting closer to the point where someone announcing that they are gay becomes less and less of an issue.3. So long Jon & Kate! I went to CVS on Tuesday morning to ...

Your challenge today is to name the city based on the descriptions below. Good luck!1. 1990 Sydney Pollack film starring Robert Redford2. 1975 and 1996 musical adapted into 2002's Best Picture Oscar winner.3.

I Wanna Rock Right Now
2009-06-08 19:07:00
Think of your favorite song or songs. Are they by artists that have multiple hits? Is it by an artist or group that you can see live in concert fairly regularly like Aerosmith, Prince or the Dave Matthews Band? Well, what happens when one of your favorite songs is by an artist that is only truly known for this one song and only has a handful of hits? Plus, since this song is over 20 years old, you figure that you would never see it performed live and probably wouldn?t pay much (if anything) to attend a concert just to see a few songs. You probably figured that you would never see the song performed live and didn?t even think about it as a possibility since you didn?t even know that this performer even toured anymore, So imagine my surprise when I learned on Friday that Tone Loc had to pull out of the Old Skool All-Stars concert at Celebrate Fairfax only to be replaced by Rob Base. Now, I like Wild Thing and Funky Cold Medina, but It Takes Two has to be among my top-five favorite so...

This Weekend: Celebrate Fairfax
2009-06-04 18:38:00
For those of you that live in the DC area (or elsewhere), it's time for my annual post about why you should attend Celebrate Fairfax . If you are unfamiliar with the festival, here are the basics: Celebrate Fairfax , Northern Virginia?s largest community-wide celebration, takes place this weekend, June 5-7, 2009, at the Fairfax County Government Center in Fairfax, Virginia. The festival features dozens of live concerts on five stages, an interactive SciTech Center and Children?s Avenue, fireworks Friday and Saturday night, hundreds of exhibitors and crafters and more. This year?s headliners (which I mentioned in March) include Blues Traveler, The Fixx, Phil Vassar and The Old Skool All-Stars (Tone Loc, Naughty by Nature and The Sugar Hill Gang). Plus, there?s lots of great food options (mmmm; funnel cake!).I wrote about this when the discounted tickets went on sale, but I think it is worth repeating. If you are 11 or older, you will pay $12 at the gate for admission to the festival....

I love numbers and statistics. I spend hours each week reviewing sports statistics and have become addicted to ESPN's Streak for Cash game. Before I had access to my checking account online, I used to scour my account to make sure the total was exactly correct. If I was off by even 1 cent, I would have to figure out where I was off.Naturally, I also like seeing how many people visit my blog each day. Google Analytics is a great program for all of my number geeky-ness (is this a word?) in that I can compare the number of visitors from one month to the next and see where visitors came from. Someone from Burundi visited my blog on Monday. I had to look at a map to even see where Burundi is located. (It's in Africa bordering Rwanda, Congo and Tanzania.)So yesterday, the number of visitors to Sean's Ramblings was fairly normal through the morning, and then something happened. Take a look at this chart copied just after 11pm on Tuesday night:Holy crap! A huge day for Trivia Tuesd...

Today's challenge is to name the song title and artist for the five songs listed below.

Case of the Sundays
2009-06-01 17:15:00
I was awake earlier Sunday than I am during the work week since I was scheduled to referee several adult co-ed soccer games. There were thunderstorms in the middle of the night, but the phone lines and websites of the referee assigner, soccer league and county all indicated that the field was open. So, of course, I arrive at the field around 7:35am only to find that it was unplayable and unsafe due to standing water throughout the field. Since I was already awake and had a few hours to kill, I went to Wegmans...dressed in my soccer referee uniform. (This is just some random picture I found from Google images; however, this is what the uniform looks like without that silly green thing on the guy's wrist. Plus, I have a little more hair than this guy.)I received several strange looks (I think it was the high socks), but otherwise, it was quiet at the grocery store that early in the morning. However, at the register, the guy in front of me asked if my game got rained out. What I...

Black Card
2009-05-29 15:49:00
When Ziggy wakes me up at 4:00 a.m. by playing with the bedroom blinds, I sometimes think to myself, I wish I had 24-hour concierge service. It would be so nice to call someone whenever I wanted to ask about vacation ideas and travel guides and whatever else concierges do. Well, imagine my excitement when I received such an offer in the mail. Besides the 24-hour concierge service, I would also get luxury gifts, be a part of an exclusive rewards program and have my very own patent pending carbon card. All of this could be mine since I received an invitation to apply for "the world?s most prestigious and versatile credit card," the Visa Black Card . The Director of Customer Experience sent me a personal invitation "limited to only 1% of U.S. residents." Someone must have made a huge mistake to ever include me in the 1% of anything in the United States.*So anyway, all I need to do to have my own Black Card is pay an annual fee of $495, and I?m in. That?s not $4.95 or $49.50; that...

Penguins-Red Wings Story Lines

With Detroit?s win over the Chicago Blackhawks last night, the Red Wings will now face the Pittsburgh Penguins in a rematch of last year?s Stanley Cup finals. For all of you hockey fans and non-hockey fans (at least for now) out there, let me be of assistance for what you may (or may not) hear from the media over the next week.- Marian Hossa was a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins last season and signed a one-year contract with Detroit this season.- Jordan Stall does not have any brothers on the Red Wings.- Sidney Crosby is still trying to grow a playoff beard.- Chris Chelios will be the oldest player ever in the Stanley Cup finals at 72. (Actually, he?s only 47, and I have no idea whether or not he could be the oldest player ever in the Stanley Cup finals.)- Will Henrik Zetterberg ever update his website?- The Penguins are 3-0 in the playoffs when Craig Adams scores a goal. Why isn?t he playing 35 minutes a night?- As a member of the Penguins last season, Ty Conklin was part of ...

What Would You Say?
2009-05-27 18:44:00
Let?s play a game. Say you are a soccer referee and you give a red card to a 14 or 15 year-old kid from a New Jersey team for using offensive language. Yes, he said some bad words that were loud enough for you and several other players to hear, so the kid had to go. (This is cut and dry; no debates on this one.) Let?s also say that the father of said kid comes up to you after the game and asks for an explanation. You calmly explain that he was kicked out for bad language and start walking away. The Dad?s response: we drove 7 hours for this!Forgetting professionalism for a second, what would you tell the parent?1. Well, maybe if you looked at a map, it wouldn?t have taken you 7 hours to get from South Jersey to Northern Virginia.2. Delaware. (and nod knowingly)3. Your kid should have watched his f-ing language!4. Here?s your chance to add your own response. Have fun!

Trivia Tuesday: Baseball Edition
2009-05-26 13:48:00
Since I attended two Nationals-Pirates games last week (and missed trivia night), I figured I would have a baseball-themed Trivia Tuesday . Think you know baseball? Try your luck on the rules of the game.True or False1. Runner on second, two out. The batter hits a home run, scoring R2 (the runner on second), but the batter-runner (B-R) is declared out for missing first base. Only one run counts.2. An outfielder may wear a first baseman?s mitt in the outfield.3. A B-R can never be declared out when he is hit by a thrown ball as he is running in foul territory.4. There is a no penalty for throwing a glove at a fair ball.5. The ball always becomes dead immediately when a balk is called.Multiple Choice6. One out, runner on first. The batter hits a sharp one-hopper to the first baseman. The first baseman tags R1 (runner on first), who is standing on first base, then tags the base before the B-R arrives.a. Double play.b. The B-R is out when first base is tagged. The runner is safe si...

Pirates-Nationals Notes
2009-05-22 13:55:00
Since I was in attendance, I thought I would share my observations from the Tuesday and Wednesday night games between the Washington Nationals and Pittsburgh Pirates . - While it would be nice for the Nationals to be successful one day, in the meantime, I'm going to enjoy the easy access to tickets. For the third time over the past two seasons, I arrived at the stadium without tickets only to have someone give me two tickets. Not sell me tickets, give me tickets. On Wednesday night's game, I was given tickets in the first row of section 100L (center field not far from where Nate McLouth made the game-saving catch). The normal ticket price is $30 per ticket and we even had someone in this section taking orders and bringing food and drink directly to our seats. - Speaking of servers, when my friend ordered a hot dog, our server told him a few minutes later that they were out of hot dogs and had to make them from scratch. Do the Nationals have cows somewhere in the stadium ready to b...

I?m at home today with a sore throat and runny nose (or is it running nose; maybe I should just write nasal congestion) and am basically not feeling well. If President Obama or Dan Rooney contacted me, I would have sucked it up and attended the Steelers ceremony at the White House, but since that didn?t happen, I?m hanging out with Ziggy. As a result, you get an extra special post today with my random thoughts.- Morgan Freeman just gave an amazing speech to the Eastside High School students. I?m ready to take and pass the test, but first I?m going to sing Lean On Me at the assembly.- The 24-caplet pack of Tylenol Cold Day costs $5.99 at Giant and the 24-caplet pack of Tylenol Cold Night also costs $5.99. However, if you want to buy the 24-pack that contains 12 Day pills and 12 Night pills, the cost is $6.49.- Jake Peavy going to the White Sox would really screw up my fantasy baseball team.

Ain?t Too Proud To Beg
2009-05-20 14:57:00
The big news in the NFL the past few days has been James Harrison?s refusal to visit President Obama when the Steelers are honored at the White House. Harrison originally told WTAE "if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don't win the Super Bowl. As far as I'm concerned, [Obama] would've invited Arizona if they had won." This also led to an extremely funny post by Christmas Ape at KSK (R-rated language for those sensitive readers). However, Harrison revealed to the Post-Gazette that the real reason he is missing the White House visit is because he has a fear of flying. I guess this also means that Harrison will not be a Monday Night Football broadcaster after he retires.With Harrison missing from the festivities on Thursday, and based on my understanding of Algebra II from high school, it seems like there is an open spot for someone to attend. Therefore, I?d like to propose someone that already lives in the Washington DC area and does not need to fly. ...

TMI Thursday: Disturbing Trend
2009-05-14 18:09:00
We interrupt our coverage of the Pittsburgh Penguins for a brief TMI Thursday . While I?m going back to my roots of TMI Thursday of bathroom experiences, I want to share something that is not specifically about me. Over the past month or two, I have noticed that more and more people are not flushing the urinals at work. While some of this may be due to the fact that you really need to flush the one urinal (as opposed to barely touching the handle), the people using these toilets should be familiar with the equipment and know how to flush. Are people just trying to help the environment by not flushing thus saving water? I tend to think not, but there is the old Thomas Jefferson* quote, ?If it?s yellow, keep it mellow; if it?s brown, flush it down.?Make sure to visit LiLu for more (interesting) TMI Thursday.

Unleash the Fleury
2009-05-14 13:50:00
Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury made a huge save on an Alexander Ovechkin breakaway just three minutes into Wednesday night's game seven. Arguably, that could have been the play of the game. Of course, most folks will talk and write about Crosby?s two goals and the fact that the Penguins scored twice in eight seconds culminating with Craig Adams? first ever playoff goal. However, if Ovechkin scores there, the whole complexion of the game is different.Since I live in the DC area and have had to listen to constant Capitals coverage and taunts by several co-workers after game six, I do want to point out that the Capitals had only 12 shots and 6 scoring chances in the first two periods. Way to show up for a game seven!Meanwhile, the Capitals talk around the area over the next few days will likely focus on what happened to Mike Green . Although Green had four assists in this series, he was not the same amazing player as he was during the regular season where he led all def...

I?d like to try something new at Sean?s Ramblings where I?ll occasionally bring up a topic for debate.* Today?s topic: Twitter . I have previously written that I don?t understand the appeal of Twitter. I think that you?re limited to a certain number of characters and that seems rather arbitrary to me. However, to be fair, I really don?t know how Twitter works. When someone tweets (is that what the cool kids call it?), do you get an e-mail or text message? Is this entire thing similar to the status update on Facebook?Since several folks have told me that I should have a Twitter account (page?), I thought I would open up the debate. I?d like to hear from those pro-Twitter folks about why it is good and whether or not I should start an account. Conversely, are there folks that are anti-Twitter or think that this is just a waste of time?* I should also come up with a cool name for these debates. Battle Royal seems a little much.
