Sinister: bring my car, I feel to smash it

[Kevin Hyde]

This is turning into an every Sunday sort of thing-

Hello everyone,


For Americans, today is the like the Christmas of Television. Super Bowl.
Mmm-mm. I'm kind of rooting for the Oakland Raiders to slowly and painfully
dismantle the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, since the Bucs unmercifully thought fit
to cause much wailing and gnashing in my hometown of Philadelphia by beating
the living hell out of the Eagles. And really, Raiders vs. Bucs- it's a game
between two pirates, and which name sounds tougher? Yup, that's right, the
Raiders. Buccaneers is name more appropriate for, say, one of the tertiary
characters in Pirates of Penzance, viz. "Hey, it's Lou the Buccaneer!", who
bears an uncanny resemblance, maybe, to a bearded Danny Aiello (am I the
only one who worries about this man's career?). But enough about football.
Although I always thought it would be fun to have a Sinister List Sports
Betting Pool.

Living in the South, and yet being born in the North has many distinct
disadvantages. The one that gets to me the most is that, whenever people
know I spent most of my life in the North, they always assume that cold
weather doesn't bother me. As in, it's 30 degrees F outside, and I say "Oh
god it's cold." and they say to me in a rolling Southern drawl "well you
should be used to it." I can only imagine what Southerners are taught in
school about the North- I know the Civil War is sometimes referred to as
"The War of Northern Aggression", but I mean, c'mon. It's like people think
that being Northern-born means you spent the majority of your free-time
adolescence outside in snowshoes, romping through the pure white powder, and
pillaging neighboring iglooes. As if I had antifreeze in my blood.


Is anyone else addicted to:
a) America's Prince, the John F. Kennedy Jr. Story [in which we find wooden
acting, very horribly conceptualized documentary style, and Portia de Rossi!
not to mention a Moby song]
or
b)Giuliana from E! news. [this channel has become the most life-negating
thing in my, well, life. This woman's mouth is fascinating beyond reason.
It's...sharp somehow.]
I feel weird admitting these things, and yet relieved at the same time. E!
seriously has taken over a good 60% of my non-motor function brain space.


well, I hope you're all doing well and amusing yourselves and others,


Kevin
