The OKC Thunder

Now that Oklahoma has an NBA basketball team coming to play permanently in our city, with a new nickname, at least according to many media outlets including SI.com, and that new name is "Thunder". Hmmm, OKC Thunder. I actually like it. Now all they have to come up with is a mascot and music for the team introductions. I was trying to think of a good song to emphasise thunder and came up with ACDC's "Thunderstruck". Angus and Malcolm Young with that distinct hard rock classic style begin to play, as a sold out crowd readies, lights go down and smoke/fog rolls in and lightening begins to flash from overhead.... "Thunderstruck" begins to play. The announcer, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Your Oklahoma City Thunder!" Awesome...

EDIT: Today, Wednesday, 9/3/2008, the announcement was made at 5:05pm revealing the new team name, logo and colors. OKC Thunder. Interestingly enough, as they began the reveal, they began to play ACDC's Thunderstruck! Hmmm....

Three Sheets

I discovered "Three Sheets" with Zane Lamprey; a show that explores different beers from around the world. At first I thought it would be boring, however, this guy has a dry sense of humor that works. Not only does he set out to discover various beers, and gets tipsy along the way, but he does an outstanding job of providing some historical perspective of that country and alcohol as well. Click here to watch one of his many funny takes.

Evolving Candidates

How does it come down to this? The American Population has around 300 million people and this is the best we can come up with? These are my choices for President of the United States? You've got to be kidding me. Check this clip out. Talk about flip flopping.
