Wasn't it great to see Alex Trebek inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last night? "What is hip"?

I attended another Taco Tuesday and I love it. It's cheap and the food is good, and you never know who you'll run into while you're there.

Well, you know my feeling on corned beef for St. Patrick's Day for Catholics. First of all, as a Convenience Catholic, I'm all for the bishop letting us have meat on that day. But really, it does fly in the face of teachings that say Lent is a time of penance and maybe we should delay a corned beef sammie for a day. It wouldn't hurt matters, would it?

However, the Pittsburgh bishop has decided to play hardball. So, what do you as a Pittsburgher? Drive away for some meat or grin and bear it for a day. I figure the bishop knows he can't win, so he decided to make a stand and deliver a message.

It was really funny, as Johnny had the long hair and fingernails. I wondered, as I watched in 2006, if the viewing audience didn't get it.

The Sports Guy demonstrates how randoms win NCAA pools. BTW, Oral Roberts IS still a funny name. Remember when he was supposed to go that mountain and...
