Yankee demise prompts thoughts

By Josh Griffin

Is it mandated that every history class include the "sex talk," where the professor explains that prior to the 19th century there really wasn't anything more entertaining than sex? This has to be the highlight of every history course.

- I'd rather not start any class until after noon. My roommate said it best: "No matter how late I schedule my classes, I can never suit my academic needs."

- I'll admit it: I was right about the Angels, to a degree. I thought they were better than the Giants in the preseason, but I did not think they would win the World Series.

- Does any actor have more awful accents in films than Kevin Costner? I'm still trying to figure out where Jim Garrison was from in "JFK."

- Sebastian Janikowski got arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. It's time for Dubya to turn Janikowski over to the Homeland Security Department. Maybe fat, GHB-using, terrible Polish kickers can become a new racial profile.

- Every time I go to work in a real office and sit at a cube all day, all I can think about is two things: partying (lots of it) and torching myself.

- Here's hoping that atop the Yankees wish list are Grant Roberts, "The guy who let a woman take his picture while smoking out of a three-foot bong" and Mark Corey, "The guy who smoked himself silly, and then had a seizure." That should help parity in baseball.

- There's no sense denying it. I am the world's biggest Shawon Dunston fan.

- Does anyone else think that it might reflect poorly on the intellect of college America when we spend an entire weekend re-living highlights of "Jackass: The Movie?" I didn't think so.
