What Should I Do?
I have a two hour flight to Columbus Friday and a return trip on Sunday.
I am not a good flyer. I am not afraid of crashing I just hate waiting in the terminal, and on the plane, and sitting there doing nothing.
Should I read a book? Next up on Paulo's Book Club is "The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game
" by Michael Lewis.
If I bring my portable DVD player, I can watch Seinfeld Season 4 and/or Season 5.
Read and expand my mind, or watch the same shows I've seens dozens of times and enjoy myself.

Delicious Dollar
The good folks at McDonald's have added the 6-piece chicken mcnuggets to the dollar menu for this week only. Monday night we went there for dinner and ordered 5 6-pieces.
Tuesday I entered Penn Station from the 7th Avenue side so I picked up a 6-piece for a $1.08. A delicious midday snack which I had eaten before I got to my train. Plus, the Penn Station Mickey D's is so busy, the nuggets were piping hot.
I went in from 7th Avenue again yesterday but I had just met my dad for lunch at Ben's so I didn't.
I recommend this affordable and delicious food opportunity to you before McDonald's closes the door on it on Sunday.

Mets Extend Willie
A couple days after Mike and the Mad Dog ripped the Mets for paying Willie Randolph less than Eric Wedge, the Mets tore up his deal and gave him a new one for 2007 plus two more years.
He'll get $1.4 million in 2007 (twice what he was due to get in 2007), $2 million in 2008 and $2.25 in 2009 with a $2.5 million club option for 2010.

Brandy Kills a Woman
Singer Brandy was involved in a fatal four car accident last month.
It started when she rear ended another car, the driver of that car recently died.
Brandy has not been charged or arrested but all the cars were impounded and are being investigated to see who is at fault.
No alcohol or drugs were involved, but police did say "barring any mechanical difficulties on Brandy's part ... then there's the very high probability that she is the party most at fault or the contributing party."

Homo Hater
Grey’s Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington is headed to rehab to make him like gay people. He was involved in a fight on the set with Dr. McDreamy (I think) after Washington called one of the show’s other actors, TR Knight “a faggot.”
Everything had seemingly died down until Washington was asked about it and said “I never called TR a faggot.”
Now ABC is making him go to rehab. Not alcohol rehab; or drug rehab; or even rehab for a sex addiction. He is going to rehab to figure out why he made such comments.
He hates gay people.
I wonder what the rehab is going to be. He’s going to have to watch Brokeback Mountain on loop.

Loud Soap Star
General Hospital, one soap opera not watched by Pizza Parlor Derek is going to have an explosion / hostage takeover storyline starting Friday and continuing for a couple of weeks.
And now that he has time on his hands Stephen A. Smith will make an appearance in the February 2nd episode as a reporter covering the hostage situation as it unfolds. He has been a fan of "General Hospital" since he was five. He says, "It was a wonderful experience all-around. Meeting many of the actors on the show was very exciting and a dream come true. Let this be a lesson to all the ladies out there: There are men who love the soaps."

Actually Kinda Liked It
Some girl created a response to "Dick in a Box", posted in YouTube, and I enjoyed it.
The chick is pretty good looking and some of the lines are funny especially because she does a good job replicating the faux earnestness of the original.

Mutumbo at the State of the Union
As soon as the applause died down he asked "Who Wants to Sex Dikembe?"
During the speech Bush said of Mutumbo:
"When America serves others, we show the strength and generosity of our country.
The greatest strength we have is the heroic kindness, courage and self-sacrifice of the American people. You see this spirit often if you know where to look — and tonight we need only look above to the gallery.
Dikembe Mutombo grew up in Africa, amid great poverty and disease. He came to Georgetown University on a scholarship to study medicine, but coach John Thompson took a look at Dikembe and had a different idea. Dikembe became a star in the NBA and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the land of his birth — or the duty to share his blessings with others. He built a brand-new hospital in his old hometown.
A friend has said of this good-hearted man: 'Mutombo believes that God has given him this opportunity to do great things.' And we're proud to call this son of the Congo a citizen of the United States of America."

Nice Day for a White T-shirt
For Saturday night's Ohio State - Michigan State basketball game, Ohio State is asking all fans attending the game to White Out the Value City Arena (VCA).
That means we cannot wear our Ohio State red t-shirts. Don't understand why they didn't do a red gimmick, but oh well.
Pizza Parlor Derek and I are going to be there, and I for one, will be wearing white. I bought a cheap OSU t-shirt yesterday.

Multi-blog Experience
This weekend marks a major event in the short history of blogs. Pizza Parlor Derek and I are taking a trip to Columbus to visit Pizza Parlor Daren and Pizza Parlor Greg Oden.
The most exciting part of this is that you the reader will be able to see the events through both of our eyes. We will each blog about the weekend without discussing our thoughts, opinions, reactions with each other beforehand.
This experiment is going to end up something like this old beer commercial:
Male voice: Last night was great.
Female voice: Worst date of my life.
Male: I think she really liked me.
Female: I couldn’t stand him.
Male: I really listened to what she had to say.
Female: He would not shut up.
Female: It doesn’t matter, I looked horrible anyway.
Male: What a knockout.
The same thing happened more than 10 years ago when Damino and Kari Meyer went out on a date.
This is what you are likely to read:
The Poop: I tried really hard to be nice to Daren’s girlfriend, I think she liked me.
The Parlor: Future Lynch hated Paul.
The Poop: We are going to try to go back in the fall for a football game.
The Parlor: Daren says I’m welcome to come back anytime as long as I don’t bring Paul.
The Poop: I made a really funny crack about Derek’s weight. But I think he took it well.
The Parlor: Paul made a dick comment about me being fat and really hurt my feelings.
The Poop: My wingman skills helped Derek hook up with a decent looking college girl.
The Parlor: If not for Paul I could have banged a hot college girl, and her bi-curious roommate.

Better Pick Than Assante Samuel's
As an unashamed nose-picker I can only fault Patriots' owner Bob Kraft for his timing. Maybe there was a lot of dry air in the luxury box and he felt the need to clean house.
So Happy Together
Melo and AI won their first game together 115-98 over Memphis. Melo had 28 points and AI had 23. Melo had 6 assists and AI had 7 and Steve Blake had 12. AI and Melo hooked up on a couple nice alley oops.
Ciara and LaLa were on hand, enjoying the game.
As Seen on CNN
A judge has denied unemployment benefits to a woman who was fired from her job for keeping a journal detailing her efforts to avoid work.
Emmalee (pronounced Emily) Bauer was employed by the Sheraton hotel company as a sales coordinator. While on the job, she kept a handwritten journal. A supervisor told her to stop writing on company time, but instead, Bauer wrote her journal, all 300 single-spaced pages, on her work computer.
In the journal, portions of which were introduced during a recent hearing regarding Bauer's request for unemployment, Bauer describes her efforts to avoid work.
"This typing thing seems to be doing the trick," she wrote. "It just looks like I am hard at work on something very important."
Bauer also wrote: "I am only here for the money and, lately, for the printer access. I haven't really accomplished anything in a long while ... and I am still getting paid more than I ever have at a job before, with less to do than I have ever had before. It's actually quite nice when I think of it that way. I can shop online, play games and read message boards and still get paid for it."
In her journal she speculated it could someday be published.

2000th Post
You are reading the 2000th post in the history of Paul's Poop.
When I started this 14 months ago I had no idea how much time and effort it would require. But for the most part I don't find it tedious and it doesn't intrude in my life.
In fact it's enhanced my life by allowing me to keep in touch with people I might not have otherwise. And to talk about issues that I definitely wouldn't have otherwise.
It's also brought some new people and some old people back into the fold.
But of all the reasons I like it the most compelling is that it serves as a diary for my life and all the things I've done.

Gotta Support the Team
Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl painted his chest to support the Lady Vols against #1 Duke.
He sat in the student section and with several of his players painted their bodies orange with the letters to spell Go Vols on their chests. Pearl was the "V".
Coach Pat Summitt appeared to acknowledge him and gestured enthusiastically at Pearl.
Duke won the game 74-70.
This is just the latest in a long line of funny Bruce Pearl posts.
There was the time he wore an orange sportscoat.
And the time he ripped off the orange sportscoat, the shirt and posed like a wrestler.
And of course the time he sweated through his jacket (not orange).

What Happened to Caldwell?
I'm still puzzled by play of Reche Caldwell who dropped two wide open passes, one in the endzone and one when he was completely uncovered.
What was wrong with him?
a) fixed the game
b) coked up (but apparently his eyes are always like that)
c) just got nervous
