Sunday, January 20th, 2008 at 4:18 amAmazon has been running some really nice Blu-ray sales. Disney 50% off sales, buy two get one free (forget the studio, but obviously not Universal or Paramount), and last week up to 53% off of 200+ different Blu-ray movies.
I used this as an opportunity to pick up a few different movies that I have […]
Mr. Mom (no so much)
Saturday, January 19th, 2008 at 10:26 amThe last couple of weeks have been a lot of fun for me (not really), but it is not so much about me as it is about my wife; she had a new ACL inserted in her left knee January 8. For her, all I can say is ouch. I think she is on the […]
Middle aged gamers get a new voice.
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008 at 1:50 amCheck out Kevin Mosley’s new Middle Aged Gamer site. I would do a better introduction, but it is late, I am tired, and trying to get the baby back to sleep. Besides, Kevin’s work does not really need an extra push form me.
Kevin, congratulations on the new site!

Beeman R7 .177 Review
Saturday, January 12th, 2008 at 11:29 amAfter responding to a post on the “Yellow Forum” I realized that I had not written much about my Beeman R7. Here is my attempt at a review.
The R7 is perfect for the backyard. It is quiet, it is unbelievably accurate, and extremely easy too shot. It probably does […]
Sporting odds and ends.
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008 at 9:42 pmGeorgia ends the year #2 in the AP, while Texas makes it up to #10. Great for both programs. Bring on 2008!
The SEC had 9 Bowl teams, and posted a respectable 7-2 record (.777%). The Big Ten? 8 teams, with a 3-5 record (.375%). Do we finally get to put […]
Let the 2008 Ohio St. pimping begin.
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008 at 12:58 amIt only took a little over 57 minutes for the 2008 Ohio State pimping to begin. With 1:36 left in the fourth quarter, and LSU kicking the shit out of OSU (LSU 38 - Ohio St. 17) the FOX announcers started talking about how Ohio St. was a year early. Next year is […]
2007 Bowl Predictions (BCS National Championship Game)
Monday, January 7th, 2008 at 8:52 pmSo here we go. #2 LSU (11-2, 6-2 SEC) vs. #1 Ohio St (11-1, 7-1 Big Ten). SEC vs. Big Ten. I guess this is the one we have waited, and waited, and waited to arrive. I freely admit that I am an SEC homer, but this one has LSU written […]
2007 Bowl Predictions (Day 15)
Sunday, January 6th, 2008 at 8:44 pmWhile we are waiting for the National Championship Game, this GMAC Bowl thing just sort of came out of nowhere. Bowling Green (8-4, 6-2 MAC) vs. Tulsa (9-4, 6-2 C-USA). Who cares? Let’s go with the Golden Hurricane.
2007 Bowl predictions: 22 - 8.

Gamo Sampler Pellets
Sunday, January 6th, 2008 at 5:47 amYesterday at Dick’s Sporting Goods I picked up a sampler pack of Gamo pellets for $8.99. [linked to Pyramyd Air’s site because DSG does not show this set online]
The set contains 4 tins of 250 pellets:
Magnum (8.3 grains)
Hunter (8.4 grains)
Master Point (7.8 grains)
Match (7.6 grains)
I shot a few rounds of each type of pellet […]
Warner is all Blu
Saturday, January 5th, 2008 at 9:34 pmI guess this is old news now, since it was posted yesterday, but according to Blu-ray.com Warner will be going 100% Blu-ray in a few months.
“The window of opportunity for high-definition DVD could be missed if format confusion continues to linger. We believe that exclusively distributing in Blu-ray will further the potential for mass market […]
2007 Bowl Predictions (Day 14)
Saturday, January 5th, 2008 at 1:02 pmAfter a day of rest we get … well I am not sure what we get. Something called the International Bowl, which features Rutgers (7-5, 3-4 Big East) against Ball St (7-5, 5-2 MAC). Whatever. Rutgers is the pick.
2007 Bowl predictions: 21 - 8

2007 Bowl Predictions (Day 13)
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008 at 8:15 amToday’s “let’s see how long we can stretch out the Bowl season” game is the FedEx Orange Bowl featuring #8 Kansas (11-1, 7-1 Big 12) vs. #3 Virginia Tech (11-2, 7-1 ACC). Once upon a time the Orange Bowl was a big deal; for the halftime show if nothing else. This year it is a […]
2007 Bowl Predictions (Day 12)
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008 at 9:43 pmToday we get the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, which features over rated #9 West Virginia (10-2, 5-2 Big East) vs. #4 Oklahoma (11-2, 6-2 Big 12). Not that I think the Big 12 is all that great, but Oklahoma will kick the living crap out of West Virginia.
2007 Bowl predictions: 20 - 7

2007 Bowl Predictions (Day 11)
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008 at 11:02 amYesterday was a bad Bowl day (.500 for the day). #21 South Florida showed why the Big East is worthless while Oregon showed they are bigger than Dixon, and Georgia Tech showed that they never beat Bulldogs, no matter the flavor. Today is another day, so on with the show.
First up is the Outback Bowl, […]
