NCAA Tournament Live Streaming Boss Button...

You may have read about the "Boss Button" for the live streaming of the NCAA tournament.

If you work on spreadsheets all day (perhaps pertaining to Beef Jersey and Pork Rinds), then it might actually be useful.

I will give them credit. This is what happens to your window when you hit the boss button:

A few humorous links....

Because I don't really feel creative at the moment, I will highlight the creativity of others:

  1. stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com - Up to 90 things that white people like - zach would appreciate this one

  2. Dickipedia - Electronic Vagrant's new Wikipedia alternative featuring people like this

  3. On Sunday while flying to Cincinnati (I connected through O'Hare), I wore my new favorite traveling T-shirt:

I left O'Hare and had to go back through security. In neither place did I get any comments from TSA. Although, the dude in Chicago just seemed angry in general. Raise your hand if you are surprised....

Cornhole: Not Just an Anus....

The Great CornholioHave you ever heard of a game called Cornhole?

Today, when I remarked I was unfamiliar with the game, an intern looked at me like I was an idiot. That was my low moment for the day.

Then, it was explained to me that Cornhole is a game played in bars and during tailgates with two boards and bean bags. The previous link is to the "#1 Supplier of Cornhole Bags and Boards"...that just sounds funny.

I was also told it was a somewhat local/regional game mostly played in the Cincinnati and surrounding regions of Ohio and Kentucky. (This is where I have been working for the last several months.)

Apparently, people bring their own "cornhole bags" to bars to use during the game. One of my coworkers has a Bengals bag. Another has an the Ohio State bag.
I wonder if I would get roughed up if I walked into a Cincinnati bar with a Chicago Bears cornhole bag.

So, as the saying goes, you learn something new ever day.

And here I thought cornhole just referred to a person's anus...
