Yes, my dear.

Random observation
 

Houston teams are tracking together when they play on the same day. Three Sundays ago, both the Texans and the Astros won. Last Sunday they lost within minutes of each other. This Sunday, both teams won.

Worrisome conclusion: Texans have a bye next week, while the World Series is scheduled to be on Game two Sunday October 24. One hopes that the Astros don't also have the night off.

ETA: The Rockets aren't playing that day, but the Aeros are.

2 NFL Questions
 

1. Why must we protect this house?

2. Why do we have sideline reporters?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Really, this is an off-off Broadway play. It's called "Self-Immolation in One Act."

There was an Allen Pinkett Shooting Himself in the Verbal Foot deal from last Monday night's Green Bay-Tennessee game. Pinkett, a sideline reporter (I doubt for very much longer) for Westwood One, was on the field and wanted to inject a comment about an instant-replay decision in the first quarter of the game. So Marv Albert and Boomer Esiason, upstairs, threw to him for this memorable car wreck of a sideline report.

Albert: Let's check in with Allen Pinkett. Allen?

Pinkett: Boom, going back to that instant replay, I think sometimes when they view it and break it down, it's similar to the way they broke down the Rodney King beating. You know, when you look at it in parts it doesn't look like they beat him up so bad. But when you see it real fast, he got his butt beat. So, uh, the totality, I guess, of the event, is what, uh, is what they look at.

Albert: Boomer, you want to analyze that?

Esiason: Nope. (Faintly, like he's moving away from the mike. And then laughing.) Nope. I can't say anything to that one.

Albert: Wait a moment here! A minute two to go in this first quarter. And it looks like Tennessee has called a timeout ... I think that we're going to get some emails from Howard [Deneroff, the Westwood One producer] and the rest of the staff on that one.

Esiason: (Laughing)

Albert: You OK, Boomer? A reminder that for every touchdown scored ...

Esiason: (Loud snort)

Albert: ... inside the red zone tonight and all season long on Monday night football Milwaukee Electric Tool will make a donation to Habitat for Humanity. Heavy duty helping for families in need. Second and 10 from the 20 when we resume with Tennessee in front of Green Bay by the score of 17 to 3. Boomer, you gonna be okay? You all right?

Esiason: (Feeble from laughing.) Yeah, I'll be all right.

Albert: Was that a Saturday Night Live satirical sideline moment?

Esiason: (Dreamily) Ohhhhhh.

Postscript: Pinkett was a fill-in for John Dockery last week. I hear Dockery will be back tonight for Rams-Bucs.

Ponchos are in. Ugh.
http://hp.msn.com/43/CYB,Q-1Y+U5W]CMZA_~A75.jpg

The style, now at its apogee, appears both in mainstream stores like Ann Taylor, the Gap, J.C. Penney, and Macy's (which offers 43 options in a ponchos-only department) and in high fashion magazines like Vogue, in which New York socialite Plum Sykes sports a fringed, yellow, off-the-shoulder number, and Bazaar, where a $1,500 Chloe "horse blanket poncho" is deemed one of the season's "must-haves." Recently, during a 20-minute walk in Midtown Manhattan, I counted 18 ponchos—averaging nearly one per minute. Ponchos have become this season's Ugg boots: unsightly and overexposed.

Even Jennifer Anniston has fallen prey.

I'm bored so I'll respond. What bugs me is that my childhood, which was full of normal ugly things like Ugg boots and Phentex(tm) ponchos knitted by my granny, is being recycled and offered up as high fashion. Next thing you know Roadrunner jeans or those blue pants with the stripes down the side that everyone wore in grade 9 will be chic. It's a cop-out by the fashion industry and it bugs me that people buy into it.

eta that I have never owned Ugg boots. my friends did when I was young though. I think they are beyond ugly.

I hear he wants to start a meth lab and wanted professional instruction. SportsCenter showed video of him the other day, driving around campus in an old skool Shelby Cobra.

Damn. I PM'd SS and predicted the exact post, except I said it would be my mom. Do I at least get partial credit?

I don't really care for them myself. I do, however, have some UGG slippers that are incredibly warm and comfy.
Yes, ponchos seem to cycle through every 10 years or so. Mark my words, next up is big hair and shoulder pads.

eta my god, there are purses. When did they start with the purses?
