A first for me, a birth notice for a Lonsdale child. Taken from the yorknewstimes.com website which serves York, Nebraska.

Jason and Leah (Hengelfelt) Lonsdale, of Stromsburg, are the parents of a daughter, Maya Ann Lonsdale, born at 7:11a.m. on February 11, 2013 at York General Hospital in York.

She weighed 6 pounds 7.8 ounces and was 19.5 inches ( Read more... )

January 19, 2013 : [Dallas] - Jaromir Jagr of the National Hockey League's Dallas Stars scored his 666th career NHL goal (and 667th as well) against my Phoenix Coyotes... handing the Coyotes a loss (4-3) in the season opener. Looks like Teemu Selanne should be next there... he has 663. Somewhere in this filthy cave I have about a dozen Jagr rookie ( Read more... )

I think it would be fair to call today's game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Atlanta Falcons ugly. Heck, it might even qualify as "Fugly" . To intercept a quarterback five times and lose seems unthinkable. To get the ball in the opponent's territory time after time and fail to execute is unacceptable. I was not totally shocked when the ( Read more... )

... failure ! Once more the Arizona Cardinals that I hold so dear have failed to deliver. A 31-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers that really was not as close as the score indicates. Too many stupid mistakes and a couple really questionable calls (our running back is a scat back, not a power back, and twice instead of letting him try to use his speed ( Read more... )

I was saddened to hear that LiveJournal was no longer officially supporting lj_scribe. I hope that enough people continue that it can thrive, but suspect the lack of that extra touch of motivation brought by LJ Tokens will sap some of its drive. I guess, since my drabble on confusion was the last officially sponsored champion, that I at least have ( Read more... )

Congratulations to Roy Williams, head coach of the University of North Carolina Tarheels men's basketball team on his 666th career win as a head coach on Saturday. Not many hit the mark.

Horrid pun of the day : "In the high stakes world of butter substitutes there's no margarine for error."

Wow, another daily lotto drawing was a 666 (Yesterday in Michigan). I copied the particulars from the Detroit Free Press website :

You lucky devil!

That common phrase now applies quite literally to the 1,994 people who played the sinister series in Wednesday evening’s Michigan Lottery Daily 3 Game and won.

The numbers “666” were selected as the ( Read more... )

Okay... where to begin. Okay, I will begin with the NFL.

1) Steven Tyler... love ya babe... but... puh-leeeeeeeease never agree to sing the National Anthem again as long as you live.

2) I find myself rooting for the San Francisco 49ers ! NO WHEY ! As a former Cowboys fan and a now (and forever) Cardinals fan that is almost like rooting for life on ( Read more... )

I honestly did expect the Patriots to win, but not by that much. Wow ! Of course, I know it was the devil, as his 666 was front and center. Look at Tom Brady's stat line :

6 TD passes
6 points each
6 extra points

I know, a stretch LOL, but who can look at Belichick in his hoodie and not think they are looking at evil incarnate. I would not be surprised ( Read more... )

Found a limerick I had written down and never posted, so I thought today would be a good time to place it in this blog. No idea when I wrote it (it was in an old shoebox which is filled with notes).

Her eyes were as blue as the ocean
Her lipstick a dangerous potion
But what made her spell
Exciting as hell
Was her wiggle, her walk, and her motion
Played ( Read more... )
