My Friday Top Ten Thoughts

Wanna begin a new feature here in the Hideaway. Random ten thoughts from the past week...


1. I am so sick and tired of hearing about the frigging "OCTO-MOM". What is the county's fascination with this head case?

2. Sixers closed out the Spectrum tonight. My favorite Spectrum memory? A Billy Joel concert in 1993. The Phils were in the series and Joel came out in a Phillies hat and screamed "F*** the Jays!" Place went bananas...

3. State testing sucks. Nuff said.

4. I am trying to get swept up in the World Baseball Classic...I really am...it's just not working. I do like the Team USA hat though...maybe in the later rounds...I think I am struggling with staring at Jeter's face for so long during the games and the retching feeling that accompanies it.

5. President Obama getting failing grades on MSNBC...wow...who da thunkit? Seems the Messiah is falible after all...Check the damage. Don't blame me...I voted for McCain.

6. Rumor has it that the Cards are looking to trade Anquan Boldin...I bet the Eagles will make a heavy push for him...and then I am going to sprout wings and fly to the moon...and for the record...I am STILL pissed about the Dawkins deal...spent the week pricing #20 Denver jerseys.

7. Onion article of the week...Obamas First 100 Days...it updates every day so keep checking back.

8. Bill Buchanan went out in a blaze of glory...RIP Bill...hated to see it happen but it was a good exit for the character.

9. Joe Biden stays relevant...ahem...uhh...yeah right...moving on...

10. Pat Burrell is a classy guy. I won't miss his legs (rotting corpses decay faster than he runs) but he gave his all in his nine years as a Philly. Thanks for the note Pat, and the memories.


Got any thoughts from the week or comments on mine? Please share in the comments section.

Rest In Peace Bill Buchanan

Damn the silent clock. We lost a good man last night. Even though we suspected it was coming...it doesn't make the bitter pill any easier to swallow.

Rest in peace Bill. I know that life went down hill after Michelle stopped seeing you...but now maybe you can reconnect with her and leave Tony out of the loop once again. Even more reason for Tony to mope and talk in his raspy Evil Tony voice, god help us all.

You went out in style, taking several camo clad baddies with you into the great beyond. You saved dozens of civilian lives, not to mention the lives of President Taylor, Aaron Pierce, and of course, Mr. Bauer. You are a true hero sir, and will always be remembered as such.

I look forward to the day when Jack gets his hands on Jon Voight and exacts his pound of flesh for your noble sacrifice. I don't need to tell you that Jack will be thorough...and slow.

Thank you for your life, your service, your devotion.

So again, rest in peace. Who needs hundreds of virgins in the afterlife when you have Michelle Dressler?
