Awesome. I think this would have topped my own personal “best snowball at an NFL game” story, hands-down. herooftheproletariat: thepilgrimslanded: Eagles Fans douse Niners fans with Snowballs.  Eagles Fans are great.

Top Ten Things You Should Never Tweet
I don’t think there’s anything that should be a “tweet,” but if you must: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/twitter_stop It could also be argued that these same rules apply to FB status updates, to a lesser extent.

My favorite "clients from hell" submission to-date
clientsfromhell: Client: We need to use WeirdoFont on our website. Me: That’s not possible, the font is not a common web font. Client: Nothing is impossible! It’s just a question of time and money. Me: Well, OK, I’ll travel around the world and install the font on all internet-connected computers, if you can get the copyright clearance for the font. Client: That’s more like it! You’ll be...

Parlay's Presidential Lock - Week 15
New York Giants (-3) @ Washington I missed the boat on the Thursday, Saturday, and all the Sunday games. So, with only one game left to choose from, I’m going with the Giants. Don’t get me wrong, I love to see the Giants lose. It’s just that the Redskins are a complete enigma to me. Every time I think they’ll come out on top, they fail. Every time I write them off, they...

Master and Commander
Forgot how much I loved this damn movie. When I got my HDTV & Blu-Ray setup a few months back, this is the film I wanted to break it in with. I finally got my chance tonight. Overall: 9/10

Christmas Shopping
For last-minute shoppers like me (for the record, I still have three or four days left to go), you simply cannot beat a good snowstorm. I was able to hit Evergreen Walk and the Buckland Hills mall for multiple gift purchases, one return, dinner, and free gift-wrapping all in the span of two hours. As you already know, it’s the weekend before Christmas. Once again, being a last-minute joe...

Night Fall
Just finished this one up. I wanted some lighter fare after a string of historical novels and dark McCarthy books. I read the whole book thinking the title was “Night Fail,” until I was image-searching this morning for the book jacket and Google corrected me! Night Fall is the suspenseful tale of loose-cannon New York detective John Corey reviving the case of TWA Flight 800,...

Parlay's Presidential Lock - Week 14
This week, make it a double! I feel compelled to improve upon my 2-2 Presidential Lock standing, and am making a strong play for 4-2. Washington (-1) @ Oakland Don’t expect Bruce Gradkowski to put up big numbers again this week, facing the Redskin’s ninth-ranked passing defense. Expect lots three-and-outs, punts, and mediocrity as the Skins take it, 20-13. Philadelphia...

Blake seemed a little down this week
So I registered 18 new tumblr accounts and made sure they all followed Blake. Don’t tell. herooftheproletariat: I’m not sure what happened but I got a whole mess of new followers over the last few days. Welcome friends.

Braveheart
I know the feeling. I also got fired up by it and looked on amazon to see if it’s available on Blu-Ray. A great way to start a collection, I think. herooftheproletariat: Spurred by a post by my broman Cheese, I fired up a few minutes of Braveheart on Netflix. Jesus I forgot how AMAZING this movie is. It’s probably been 7 or 8 years since I watched it all the way through.

One of the greatest Flash animations ever
At least in my opinion, it is. You may remember seeing this in 2007. http://www.syfy.com/tinman/oz/ Keep in mind, you can watch in fullscreen mode. I recommend ignoring the blinking eye that appears with each new scene.
