September 17, 2010 – As a non-football fan, I love reading these bits each week. Texas Tech fans, BTW, are famous for having yanked their own goal post out of the ground to celebrate a win.

September 17, 2010 – Watched this with my mom when I was a kid. I even remember the organ/globe opening. DON’T JUDGE ME!

September 10, 2010 – I love stories like these. Random questions that often occur to me.

September 10, 2010 – I rarely go to google.com. Don’t most people use the search bar in their browsers?
