Minesweeper - The Movie

With all the movies based off of games that they've released recently ("Battleship," "Ouija," etc.), I'm kind of surprised that they haven't made a full-length movie spoofing them all yet. If you're going to make a movie about a game, methinks that's really the only way you can make one actually worth watching... by not taking the subject matter too seriously.

Case and point: Minesweeper - The Movie.

Beware the Malintents!

To those reading my blog (if anybody),

I know you already know this, but just as a friendly reminder, and as my PSA for today, please be careful what you post online. Some people are so quick to post anything and everything on their social media accounts, not realizing that there are bad people out there that want to take your information and use it with malicious intentions. Let's try to avoid falling victim to any of that stuff. The reason I mention this is that I've just read yet another article about people posting way more than they ever should even be thinking on their Facebook pages and suffering the appropriate repercussions for it. I personally don't even understand why people like sharing their dirty laundry with the world, but nevertheless, this kind of stuff is only funny if you ain't the victim of it. Let's not be the victims, please. Be careful what you put out there.

Sincerely,

Al

States with the Rudest Drivers

Some people call them our nation's "rudest drivers." I just call them the "interesting ones." Frankly, if it weren't for these people, would driving on our roadways really be as fun? You know you like them, don't deny it. After all, they're the ones who turn even the most humdrum of voyages into an adventure!

I am a little disappointed, though. "Why?" you ask. Simple: My home state's not listed on here anymore.

For four straight years at one point, and seven years in a nine-year stretch, my state owned this list. We were tops on it, year in and year out. Now, we're nowhere to be found?! I mean, seriously, I still drive on our streets, and nothing's really gotten any better out there, so what's happened? Did all these other states suddenly just get a lot more "exciting" or something?! Either way, we'd better adjust and step-up our game road rage, oh blessed state of mine, or we may be deemed a "nice state" soon. We wouldn't want that now, would we?

My girlfriend's state did get a mention, though. In fact, her birth city was mentioned. She must be so darn proud!

Obviously, I'm kidding here. It sucks to be on this list, and I thank my state for finally getting us off it.

To the rest of y'all still on it, check out where exactly you fall by clicking on this here link.

Paraprosdokians: Figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected, and frequently humorous. Apparently, Winston Churchill used to love them.

09. I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
10. In filling out an application, where it says, “In case of emergency, notify:” – I always put “Doctor.”

12. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

16. You're never too old to learn something stupid.
17. I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

9/11

Alan Jackson once sang, "Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day?" Coincidentally, I was in A.P. American History class.

Class got interrupted by a kid opening our door and yelling "turn on the T.V.!" We did, and we knew right away that what was going on within the confines of that projection screen would someday be laid out within the writings of this classroom's textbooks.

But hey, we're America, one of the greatest countries out there, so we helped one another through it, and here we are now, some 13 years later, still standing strong...

Happy Patriot's Day!

Fun Fact of the Day

When I was growing up, a small grunge band named "Mookie Blaylock" was blowing up. They blew up so much that they were eventually forced to change their name because a certain NBA basketball player for the New Jersey Nets didn't feel comfortable with them using his name. He eventually grew to appreciate their music, though, and the band even named their 1991 CD, Ten, after the baller's jersey number. That's how the legacy of Pearl Jam began. I tell you this for no other reason than I found it fascinating.
