These things I additionally believe

  • I am not signing Rafael Furcal to a contract.
  • The state of California would be easier to govern if we didn't decide issues by signing clipboards outside of Target.
  • I know many things, but I don't know how the NBA salary cap works. But I don't really care.
  • I have ordered my heirs to publish a festschrift about me after I pass away.
  • I have included instructions to tell my heirs what a festschrift is in my will.
  • The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is the second biggest tourist trap in America. The biggest tourist trap in America is an actual trap that ensnares humans in a cage on the outskirts of Moscow, Idaho.
  • The BCS Championship Game will never be remembered because it has a name that is entirely unmemorable.
  • My idea to call the BCS championship game the Super Terrific Happy Time Bowl was rejected because the Super Terrific Happy Time Company refused to sponsor it. They said it didn't fit their image. The company makes air conditioners and meat grinders.
  • I still believe the purchase of an upright mixer by me was justified even though I have not used it for over an year. Why? Because I used it tonight!

Only you would instruct in your will that your heirs prepare a Festschrift when a Gedenkschrift would be more appropriate. So perverse!

Well, my old dad used to say you learn something new every day. Here I'd thought no blender laid down on its side to do its work.

I saw the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a few years ago while in Cleveland for a conference and I didn't think it was that bad. I really liked the free listening stations that let you listen to the complete works of all the inductees. That was pretty cool, and I enjoyed the exhibits. It's not like you HAD to buy anything to enjoy the place. What there rubbed you the wrong way?

1. Too expensive
2. Too hard to listen to anything unless you wanted to stand in one place for 45 minutes
3. Too much crap to look at that held no interest to me
4. Too loud
5. It's in Cleveland.

WSU football?
I actually have been to Moscow, Idaho before. I was visiting my sister who was at UI at the time and checking out WSU campus in Pullman since I'd applied there.
