Spiking Candy, Living Life as a Musical, No Shave November, and Tebow gets Tebowed

So today is the second day of November and I notice more and more guys each year attempt to participate in No Shave November.  I noticed on a popular social network yesterday, that some women were participating.  I must say this is not a wise choice.  I've been pricked with the stub of women's leg hairs in the past and I was disgusted by that.  I'm not shallow or anything but I think women need to keep those legs as smooth as a baby's bottom.  Please ladies, do not participate in NO SHAVE NOVEMBER.  As I write this, I have been informed by my good friend April that you can help out a good cause while growing out your facial hair.  You can help raise awareness and money for Prostate Cancer.  The ladies had their breast cancer month last month and a lot respond, but men are different.  They don't like talking about that stuff.  They need to be made aware of the problem and what better way than to grow wonderful facial hair out!  Here's the story.

I have to talk about the Bengals for a minute because people are starting to make me mad. Bare with me ladies.  The Bengals are 5-2.  They may or may not make the playoffs and their schedule is easy.  But it doesn't matter.  Need I remind you that they were predicted to win only 3 games all year?  They surpassed that already.  Half the opponents they played went into the game thinking they were going to beat the Orange and Black.  The national media isn't sold on them yet, but they are crowning the Steelers which makes no sense.  They play all of the same teams except for two.  And last year the Bengals had one of the hardest schedules.  The Bengals may not make it to the playoffs, but if they do, Bengal haters please don't blame it on the schedule... it's not fair.  You can only play who's on the schedule.  

On a side note Carson Palmer got the Raiders to sign T.J. Houshmandzadeh.  It reminds me of last year when he kind of forced the Bengals to sign T.O.  I am glad he's gone because he sucks at GM as much as he sucks at QB.


Here's a ridiculous story... a pregnant woman was with her child and husband at a Hawaii Safeway, which is like the Krogers of the West.  She ate a sandwich while shopping and forgot to pay for it. She bought the other $50 worth of groceries.  It was an honest mistake yet the store chain had she and her husband arrested and her child put in protective services.  The lesson is wait to eat.  I mean when your hungry and shop for food it's not good anyway. Read Me.

In more local news a steroid ring was busted... No word yet on whether Albert Pujols was there. The Story. Here's the dude who apparently sold steroids to a bunch of high schoolers. 

This has nothing to do about any of that stuff but I've always thought it would be cool if for one day, I'd live my life as a musical.  I'd hire like someone to play music at random moments of the day and I'd start singing out of the blue about something that's going on.  I'd have to hire dancers dressed as common city folk to and they'd just join me in a choreographed dance.  That would be cool.  I've tried a day once where I tried singing everything instead of talking but that didn't work too well.  

Top 5 Musicals that I actually watched (Movies-non cartoon)

There may only be 5 total so give me a second to think.

5. Mary Poppins.

She invented a word and was the coolest nanny ever.  I haven't seen it since I was a little whipper snapper but I remember it being good. It stars Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke.

4. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Yes, it didn't stick at all to the book, but it's not about that.  It's about the awesomeness of Gene Wilder, and Pure Imagination.  It's about the goose that lays the golden egg.  It's about the music.

3. West Side Story.

It has the Jets versus the Sharks.  And yes gangs always dance and sing while they have beef with each other, but it's also a love story.  Ladies you'll love it.  You'll feel pretty and witty and gay if you watch it.

2. The Wizard of Oz.

Great songs throughout and a great overall movie. I would put it number one but I was a huge fan of number one as a kid.  I love the whole idea of black and white and color.  And those flying monkeys creeped me out when I was younger.  They are no match for the flying pigs of Cincinnati though.

1. The Sound of Music.

Yep. Julie Andrews makes it a second time.  Every song is amazing.  It won best picture.  The Von Trapps are a weird family but no match to Julie Andrews on staying in their shell. Plus music is in the title.

Winner of the Day: Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips.  Congrats to Joey on his first gold glove and Brandon on his 3rd.  I think Jay Bruce got jipped and Votto didn't actually deserve it but he's got a big name now so I guess that's why he got it.  Phillips earned his.

Loser of the Day: Someone who actually got a needle in their Halloween candy.  Yes.  It's usually just a myth but some girl got a needle in her Baby Ruth.  Police are unsure if it happened during manufacturing or if it was spiked.  The girl is a loser of the day because she's the first girl I've actually heard of that had this happen to her.  Read it here.

Quote of the Day: The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames others. -Don Shula

Song of the Day: This Way by Dilated Peoples Featuring Kanye West

Taunt of the Day: Stephen Tulloch.  He made fun of Tebow by doing the Tebow craze pose after sacking the overrated quarterback.
