I don't like Christmas Music and other random thoughts

I like Christmas. I don't like Christmas music. I think it's because it's the same dozen songs redone over and over. (The 12 songs of Christmas, maybe?) The song I hate more than any other is "Santa Baby" by Eartha Kitt, which I managed to hear twice yesterday. It's the evil perfect combination of the things I hate about Christmas Music and the things I hate about sappy music. At least it isn't one of the dozen or so songs that get remade a lot. I suppose I do like Trans-Siberian Orchestra and the Bob Rivers Twisted Tunes.

If a bomb goes off in the forest, and nobody is around to be hurt by it, is it still a WMD?

Did the guy who invented the V6 have engine-uity? That's the dumbest thing I've ever written.

Were there any politicians running for office in the last election cycle named Pedro who actually used "Vote for Pedro" T-shirts?

I don't have any brand loyalty regarding deodorant. I think it's for the same reason that farmers practice crop rotation. My current bottle says it's for the kind of guy who still collects baseball cards. Really.

The new sign on Adelphia Coliseum:



This was taken on a sunny Friday. I wouldn't be within 5 miles of the stadium on game day.

I'll admit I had never heard of Louisiana Pacific when it was announced they bought the naming rights. My first thought was why would an out-of-state company buy the naming rights. Then I realized that they were a local company, despite Nashville being neither in Louisiana nor near the Pacific. I guess I haven't been looking for homebuilding products lately.
