Stupid Signs: It’s bad enough the football sucks…

… but to fumble the headline about the football sucking? 
Next headline: “Weis losses job”

Stupid Signs: It’s high! … It’s deep! …. It’s … Embarrassing!

Humble pie

For years, my father and I tried to convince my brother, Barry, that he needs to write movie reviews and get them published.  Well, he finally caved and started a blog after I held him at verbal gunpoint in the car on the way to the Kalamazoo Nature Center last weekend. 
Now that he’s up and running, I’ll [...]

The return of Hossa

Marian Hossa makes his Chicago Blackhawks debut in San Jose tonight after a four-month recovery from shoulder surgery.  This is like smearing peanut butter on top of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.
Some facts:
1. The Blackhawks allow the fewest goals in the NHL
2. The Blackhawks have the NHL’s second-best record (behind the Sharks)
3. The Blackhawks have [...]

The first shall be last

I grew up in Lawton, a small grape-harvesting town 20 minutes west of Kalamazoo. 
We lived in a peaceful, quiet subdivision at the south end of town.  It was too peaceful, in fact, so in the span of 18 months my buddies and I: mud-bombed and egged a friend’s house; used chunks leftover by the snow plow to [...]

Women

Guys, listen up.
Literally.
If you want to impress a woman, listen up.

If you care even a little about politics in America, you must read this

And don’t let the headline deter you.
Yes, it’s about Sarah Palin.  (Yes, Matt Taibbi thinks she’s a moron.)  But the bulk of this fantastic piece addresses the state of American politics; not some twangy remark Palin fired off on Oprah. 
I beg of you: read this.

The ECHL is here

Covered the K-Wings’ 5-0 win over Trenton last night for the ol’ fishwrap. 
I still can’t believe the Devils outshot Kalamazoo 36-26.  It just didn’t feel like it.  The home team slapped the forechecking equivalent of a straightjacket on the visitors, which prevented them from moving the puck through the neutral zone with any flow or consistency, which was why the shot total seemed [...]

Stupid Signs: Leaf blowers

This sign has so much going on — hockey, beer, PLAYOF, using 3s as Es, the humor … wait a second.  This isn’t stupid.  This is awesome!

In case you were wondering (and I doubt you were), the blog has gone pure signage all week because I’ve had approximately 437 articles to write for [...]

Stupid Signs: Maybe they ran out of Is and Es?

Judging by the difference in style of some of the letters, this is likely. 
But still.
