Barry Sanders Friday!
Posted in College Football, tagged Holidays on August 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I was going to continue in the tradition of past posts titled “Stiff Arm” and “Kick Return Friday!” by putting up “Juke Friday!” today, but Barry Sanders came up so often that I decided to just make it Barry Sanders Friday.
Of course, NFL Films won’t let me use any of his pro stuff, [...]

This has been a big Christmas for my parents. Both of them retired from teaching this year, so my brother and I decided we should forego our usual cheap and late gifts and give them extravagant retirement/holiday gifts that they could use in their newly-found personal time.
My Dad is an avid outdoorsman, and my [...]

My two favorite things found while opening packages: I got my wife a recharging dock for her Ipod that also doubles as a set of speakers, which I thought was a nifty idea. The funny part was [...]

Thanksgiving day is thought of as a time for family togetherness, but if your family is like ours, the meal is actually the only time everyone is doing the same thing at the same time. The morning hours are dominated by parade coverage, which is traditionally enjoyed most by the female members of the family, [...]

CNN reports that some travelers may be delayed by bad weather this Thanksgiving. The Extrapolater would like to throw out some half-assed suggestions for reaching your destination despite the weather before we knock off early and go to the bar for a quick drink or three.
