Playoffs, sausage and blogging priests

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

It’s been a while since I’ve gotten all random, mostly because my randomness was feeling a little scripted and not terribly interesting. However, now that the football season is waning, my mind was free to go on a bit of a walkabout.

Having absolutely zero interest in the AFC Championship Game, I spent my Sunday afternoon cooking instead. I made my wife her lunch for the week and turned 45 pounds of pork shoulder into 32 pounds of mild Italian sausage because my local mega mart had a killer sale.

While surfing the inter-webs I read that the Pope wants clergy to become more web savvy, including using blogs to spread their message. I’ve decided I need to get in on this, so I’m going to register the domains innomedelpadre.com and tuspiritusancti.com and auction them off on eBay.

So, Brett Favre threw an interception in his last pass of the season. Hmm, where have we seen that one before? Oh yeah, the 2007 NFC Championship Game. I wonder what the Wrangler man has planned for his future? Favretirement Watch 2010 anyone? Maybe I should register that domain too.

The stroller conundrum that has vexed us for the past few weeks finally appears to be at a resolution. After a great deal of thought, and some helpful input, we’ve decided not to bother with a tandem stroller. With two kids we’re never leaving the house anyway.

Our son has invented a new sport called Greco Roman teeth brushing that has made bed time much more interesting than it needs to be. We’ve been tempted to not fight him so much, but since whipped cream has become a condiment in our household, it is regrettably necessary.

If any more of the NFL’s star players back out of the Pro Bowl this weekend they’re going to need to rename it. It’s safe to say the NFL’s decision to move the game out of Hawaii and to the Sunday before the Super Bowl is a complete failure before the game is even played.

Finally, here’s proof that Neil Young (or at least someone pretending to be Neil Young) can make anything sound better:

I don't think the Pro Bowl was worth much in the past anyway. When you take the bone-crushing out of football, it take the fun out at the same time. (Hence my number one love is hockey, followed closely by NFL football.)

That Neil Young video is insanity!

We just bought toothpaste for our little one – figure it's about time to get her started on that routine. We've brushed with water for a while, making it a game. She's not consistent with it, though. (Which I realized translates to “I'm not consistent with it…” Thanks for pointing THAT out.)

The Pro Bowl was already a disaster. They may as well just do away with it and hand out all sta trophies instead. I love football but the Pro Bowl is just terrible.

The pro bowl has never had any alure. Hawaii was it's allure. Now that is gone too.

Great randomness.

If she's anything like my son she'll figure out a way to eat the toothpaste off the toothbrush before you can get any teeth actually brushed. My son is notorious for that.

True, the Pro Bowl has been a joke for years, but they've only made it even more worthless.

At this point the AP All Pro Team is a better guage, even though there are less players recognized. Like the last two or three years I won't be watching. I mean, who wants to watch David Garrard? Even the folks in Jacksonville don't watch him in the regular season.

Absolutely, you take the vacation away from it and it just becomes another exhibition game when the players are already beat from the rigors of the season. It's kind of ridiculous that they are making the Colts and Saints players that were named show up for the game and keeping them there through half time.

All of Neil Young's songs sound the same. They're good for a while I guess though. Pants on the Ground is a musical travesty I'd pick up that Favreretirementwatch.com pretty quick if it's not already taken! Oh, and good call on the tandem stroller. They aren't really necessary unless you plan on being a running type father or outside all day. Definitely an investment.

I know of a few priests with blogs and podcasts to boot.
Good luck with the teeth.

Ha! Yeah, that song is a travesty, but Jimmy Fallon channeling Neil Young was so much better. It is available and I'm seriously thinking of getting it and pointing it here

I mentioned it tongue in cheek, but I've mentioned it to our pastor and to my friend's wife who is a minister that they should repost their sermons as posts on a blog integrated into their church's website. Neither have done anything with it, but it is a good idea.
