Stay tuned.

Have I mentioned that this is the first televised Eagles game I’ve seen this season?

Well, so much for a pain free flight across the fruited plain.

The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com are currently on their latest Tour-de-Jeremy, and after an almost miserable flight from Tucson to Chicago/Midway, I learn that my connecting flight to The City of Brotherly love is delayed 190 minutes due to Nor’Easter weather in the MidAtlantic states (which includes Pennsylvania.)

Dad, and I went to see him, in concert the other night, and I wondered if I was alone in not knowing who he is/was?

The Battle of New Orleans

Filed under: FootballJeremy @ 1:43:20 PM

Now, I like the Saints… but not today.

After a cheap late field goal, the Saint win over the Eagles 27-24. (I say cheap, as Brees took 3 knees and then the field goal unit came on with 3 seconds on the board.)

Iranian Nuclear Snap Sticks

Filed under: ParodiesJeremy @ 8:45:27 AM
From the "Hawkeye-Nuclear-Missles" Department

You may recall an amusing series of comments on the subject of Iranian Nukes:

You can imagine the joy of all that were gathered, when Ahmadinejad shared that Iran no longer has to depend on foreign oil for their Energy, and now can rely on Nuclear Energy for their electric power. It will be a real relief on their economy.

… oh wait… they have all the oil. What do they need nuclear power for?

… oh wait… nevermind.

The-Evil-Doctor-Merlin-Channing-Lowe-Jr. brought up a good point, in his analysis:

You have to follow their logic through fully to understand their desperate need for nukes.

1) Iran has oil
2) Iran needs to burn the oil to get energy
3) Iran can’t see in the dark to light the oil
4) Iran will use the enriched uranium to create glow in the dark snap sticks.
5) Iran will use these glow in the dark snap sticks to illuminate their way to light the oil at night.

I mean, come on. Anyone can see the dire need of Iran to have glow in the dark snap sticks. And I bet if we ask them, they’d be happy to send us a few hundred thousand of those snap sticks for us to use. They say they have developed a special delivery device that is faster than Fed-Ex, something called a mis-sile. Personally, I expect the “missiles” to become the mail delivery service of the future.

And you’ve got to admit that glow in the dark snap sticks are pretty cool. Who wouldn’t want to enrich uranium to make some?

Well, Chan, IowaHawk beat you, and Iran, to the punch!

A Quiet Day at the Dentist Office

Filed under: Local,PontificationsJeremy @ 4:47:23 PM
From the "It's-swell-though-they-tell-me-I'm-maladjusted And-though-it-may-cause-my-patients-distress, Somewhere, somewhere-in-heaven-above-me I-know, I-know, that-my-mama's-proud-of-me Oh, mama 'Cause-I'm-a-dentist-and-a-success. Say-ah!" Department

After a 3/4 day at work, I ventured to my Dentist’s office for some minor teeth maintenance. I’m not used to going so late in the day, but the office was running behind in their appointments and I spent an extra 45 minutes in the waiting room.

What I witnessed in the waiting room was a swift kick in the face of my reality, for another patient entered, checked in with the receptionist, and sat down.

When the receptionist asked for her, I was taken aback at what I overheard.
