I Think I Have A New Thing on My Christmas List
My dad raised me on the Hanna Barbara stuff. Way better and way funnier than most cartoons on today.
Wacky Racers was a cheesy, wildly amusing show that I watched pretty much every morning when I was about five years old. And they put it on DVD just for guys like me. Great to know there are more of us out there.

Early Voting
According to some sources, 35,000 people had voted early at Vets Memorial here in Franklin County, and that’s only through Monday.
Papa Idle Days crunched some numbers (‘cuz he’s a geek - like father, like son) and realized that’s about 1,200 people every hour. That’s mighty impressive coming from the state that cost John Kerry the election last time around.

Wasilla's All I Saw
So, the Twitter Election thinger - which is annoyingly fascinating, and will hopefully exist in some sense after next week - is all abuzz with the above phrase. Why?
It’s a Palin-drome! Get it?!
It’s been a busy day in a lazy sort of way
Me: So your Titans play the Colts. This needs to stops.
Hanna: What needs to stop?
Me: You guys winning and you making fun of the Browns losing.
Hanna: I've not made fun of you.
Me: Whaaat?
Hanna: I'm totally innocent. Innocent as a five year old with a lollipop. And pigtails. And a pretty pink dress.
Me; Yeah. If you stole the lollipop. And hadn't washed the dress in three weeks.
Divisiontitlequest, Week 8
You gotta love the NFL is 2008. The Browns manage to scrape a win out of a game despite doing everything in their power to keep the failtrain runnin’. We’re sitting at 3-4 and have a pretty realistic shot at making the playoffs. Things are all kinds of kooky this year, and unless you’re the Titans, Raiders, or Bengals, things are wide open for you.

Penn State 13 - 6 Ohio State
Well, there are different kinds of losses. To put it in blog terms, tag this one “Frustrating”. With an extra hand on the football, Terrelle Pryor would have had a first down and a nice addition to his career highlight reel. Alas.
Still, consensus says “Go Penn State”. They won this game on their merits, and honestly, wouldn’t it be cool to see JoePa head out with a...
Forgive Me
I’ve been tinkering around with various themes over the last few weeks. It’s annoying, I know. But when I get to tinkering with the colors here, I think it’s my favorite.
Stay tuned.
Did one of my Facebook friends really post a link to video Saddam Hussein’s execution? WTF
WatchItalian Batman! On a bicycle! With cheesy 70s filler music!
Did I mention it’s from a porno?
So, you have two ideas for a Halloween costume. Both of them are pretty freakin’ cool, and devastatingly hip and trendy. But you don’t want to blend into the gaggle of Jokers or the swarms of Sarah Palins. What to do, what to do!
May that haunt your dreams, kiddies.

Idle Days is on location in Bowling Green, Kentucky, visiting Miss Idle Days and others. As such, I have no direct access to the Browns this week without going to B-Dubs, and well, the lady just took the weekend off from there. Might be in poor taste.

Divisiontitlequest - Week 6 wrap-up
Alright, so it’s still the middle of the fourth quarter. But still, we just pulled a 14-point swing. The Giants were threatening inside the red zone and BOOM! Pick six. I’m giddy right now.
The defense has been pretty good this year, save the Baltimore game - and those two turnovers inside the red zone are just icing on the cake. The difference is Derek Anderson. He got out of his...

Game’s in an hour.
So Kellen Winslow Jr was hospitalized over the weekend with undisclosed issues. Through various online sources, including confidants of the elder Idle Days, ID has learned that these undisclosed problems are…”testicle issues”.
The question is not, “Is there a joke here?” The question is simply which one.
