I find it interesting how michael jordan is referred to as “michael” when he’s referred to by his full name, but if it’s just his first name it’s “mike” (eg: If I could be like mike).

but yet it sounds so weird if someone were to say “mike jordan.”

who’s with me on this?

so march madness is in full swing. there’s conference tournament coverage every night this week and it all leads up to Selection Sunday when we see who made the Big Dance (aka the ncaa tournament). the tournament itself begins next week.

so the first thing to get off my chest is how some of the tv announcers pronounce va tech like vah-tech and not virginia tech.

if they’re going to do that, why don’t they pronounce ga tech like gah-tech and not georgia tech?

let’s keep it consistent.

here’s a little game that’s sure to brighten everybody’s day. whenever the word conflict comes up in conversation, replace it with cornflake.

example:

sorry barry, but I am unable to make the 9:30 call tomorrow due to a scheduling cornflake.

hilarious, right?

I hear people confusing the two all the time and it drives me absolutely fucking bonkers, to the point where I make a point to correct the person. I have become That Guy.

let me make it absolutely easy for you:

> direct flight means it’s probably gonna make a stop somewhere along the way.

> non-stop flight means exactly that: it’s not going to make a stop somewhere along the way.

there.

I think I really, really like ricotta cheese.
