Mozzarella Firefox

A few nights ago the Prince and I are sitting on the couch. He’s playing with his laptop (yes he has his own laptop) and he’s getting frustrated. Finally he says:

“Momma my Mozzarella isn’t working!”

Say what? I replied trying to figure out what in the world he’s talking about.

“My Mozzarella! I can’t get to my starwars game!”

I look at his laptop and what he’s talking about is Mozilla’s Firefox. I tell him – Honey it’s Mozilla, there’s no R in it; it’s not a piece of cheese.

To which he replies – “Why not, you use a mouse to get to it!”

The End is Near..Ok..

We are watching the movie “2012”..don’t ask me why. There is a scene where the Pope and his Bishops are on their knees in the Vatican praying as the world is coming to an end. Now I won’t go into the movie implying this gathering is inside Vatican City in Saint Peter’s Basilica and under the dome; with no sign of the altar with Bernini’s baldacchino (the black columned altar); and I won’t point out that these men of faith look up to see Michelangelo’s painting of God touching Adam’s finger which is actually in a totally different building know as the Sistine Chapel….But I digress.

The dome above the Pontiff & his Bishop’s starts to crack, right between the fingers of God and Adam.
As the ceiling begins to fall, our little Prince says:
“Well I guess they can stop praying now”.

NFL Week 12

Nov27

No real surprises last week. Sucked as usual for Panthers, Titan and DC fans. I don’t know what Kansas did to deserve the beating they got, but they took it better than Indy has.

Here’s my take this week:

Away	Home	Away	Home	Favorite	Line	O/U
Green Bay	Detroit	25	22	Green Bay	3	47
Miami	Dallas	18	23	Dallas	5	41
San Francisco	Baltimore	16	24	Baltimore	8	39
Minnesota	Atlanta	20	24	Atlanta	4	44
Houston	Jacksonville	24	21	Houston	3	45
Tampa Bay	Tennessee	20	22	Tennessee	2	42
Arizona	St. Louis	21	20	Arizona	1	40
Cleveland	Cincinnati	17	20	Cincinnati	3	37
Buffalo	NY Jets	16	24	NY Jets	8	40
Carolina	Indianapolis	19	24	Indianapolis	4	43
Washington	Seattle	18	21	Seattle	3	40
Chicago	Oakland	20	18	Chicago	2	39
New England	Philadelphia	24	22	New England	1	46
Denver	San Diego	19	25	San Diego	6	44
Pittsburgh	Kansas City	22	18	Pittsburgh	4	40
NY Giants	New Orleans	21	26	New Orleans	5	47

And Vegas;

Green Bay	6.0	55.5	Detroit	Under
Dallas	7.0	45.0	Miami	Under

New Orleans	7.0	51.0	NY Giants	Under

There are no good bets this week.

Looking the spreadsheet, my gambling average would be great if all the games today end tied 0-0. I wonder if someone would give odds on that happening…

How the Draft Deals With Natural Disasters or At Least It Wasn’t Godzilla

Nov26

You are President Jones. And as a president, when a natural disaster strikes you’re expected to do something about it. Generally that means fly over to where ever it happened and look at it while the news people film you looking at it. Of course that’s about as useful as your buddy looking at the new six inch long gash in your forehead and going, “Ow, that looks bad.”

Thus Operation Hot Tub was born and so there you are, sitting in your cabin in the Mile High Club, sipping Jack Daniels. Your Japanese language coach, code named Pai Mei, (Hell that actually might be his real name, you just don’t know) is schooling you on the finer points of Japanese night life. He is particularly annoyed that you are fixated on the idea of spending some quality time with a geisha. He insists you won’t and you insist on at least making an effort.

“Anata wa sushi no yona aji nodarou ka.” You say to him. Continue reading →

2011 NFL Week 12 – Picks

Nov22

Happy Thanksgiving Week!

Not to many toss ups this week. The Prince is pretty much sticking to his Animal method with a few exceptions. Even he knows the Lions can’t beat the Packers. I think one of the biggest unknowns this week is down in New Orleans. That game could go either way, but the Saints have not lost a single game at home. So we’re giving them the advantage. New England and Philly is the other unknown game. I honestly flipped a coin. The kid is going for his team the Eagles to win. We’ll see how we do with that.

So here’s our picks for Week 12!

Week 12
Thu, Nov 24	Spring’s Picks	Prince’s Picks
GB @ DET	Green Bay	Green Bay
MIA @ DAL	Dallas	Miami
SF @ BAL	Baltimore	Baltimore
Sun, Nov 27
MIN @ ATL	Atlanta	Atlanta
HOU @ JAC	Houston	Jacksonville
TB @ TEN	Tampa Bay	Tennessee
ARI @ STL	Arizona	Arizona
CLE @ CIN	Cinncinati	Cinncinati

CAR @ IND	Carolina	Carolina
WAS @ SEA	Washington	Seattle
CHI @ OAK	Oakland	Chicago
NE @ PHI	New England	Philadelphia
DEN @ SD	Denver	Denver
PIT @ KC	Pittsburgh	Kansas City
Mon, Nov 28
NYG @ NO	New Orleans	NY Giants
Byes: None

2011 NFL Week 11 – Results

Nov22

We appear to have recovered from our terrible picks. And the little Prince actually won the family pool with only 2 losses. Imagine that. Picking the “animal” team actually worked out for him this week.

As for Mom..how in the world did Miami beat Buffalo? I really expected Dallas to win against my Redskins, but you have to go with loyalty. Same reason I picked the Titans to win. I think for week 12 however, that might need to change. There’s something about an 8 year old making better picks that simply brings out the competitiveness of his Mom and Dad. Anyway, here are our weekly results:

Week 11
Thu, Nov 17	Spring’s Picks	Results	Prince’s Picks	Results	Game Results
NYJ @ DEN	Denver	W	Denver	W	13 – 17
Sun, Nov 20
CAR @ DET	Detroit	W	Carolina	L	35 – 49

NFL Week 11

Nov20

Anybody know what happened to the Panthers? The Queen has a theory on bye weeks being bad for the team, says they come back rusty cause they haven’t played a real game in two weeks. She may be on to something.

If I was coach I’d fix this, “bye week” would be words of dread among my team, they would all whisper things like, “I hate bye week, I wish we were going to be playin’.”

Here’s my take this week:

Away	Home	Away	Home	Favorite	Line	O/U
NY Jets	Denver	24	21	NY Jets	3	45
Carolina	Detroit	20	24	Detroit	3	44
Tampa Bay	Green Bay	17	25	Green Bay	8	42
Dallas	Washington	20	19	Dallas	1	39
Buffalo	Miami	21	23	Miami	2	45
Jacksonville	Cleveland	18	20	Cleveland	2	38
Tennessee	Atlanta	19	23	Atlanta	4	43
Oakland	Minnesota	19	24	Minnesota	5	43
Cincinnati	Baltimore	17	24	Baltimore	7	41
Seattle	St. Louis	19	22	St. Louis	3	42
Arizona	San Francisco	17	23	San Francisco	6	40
San Diego	Chicago	23	24	Chicago	1	47
Philadelphia	NY Giants	25	23	Philadelphia	1	48
Kansas City	New England	19	27	New England	8	45

And Vegas;

Favorite	Line	O/U	Bet	O/U

Ok what did poor old Kansas City do to deserve a Monday night whoopin’ like this? I bet they wish it was just going to be the Spanish Inquisition.
