Original Pimp G.F. Handel

I love a good flash mob.  From the masterful manipulation of Improv Everywhere’s subway Star Wars to the Glee-themed flash mob group sings, people gathering to surprise other people in public is something that I love.  I’m not sure why, since I hate Glee and all the other singing-themed shows, but when it happens as a surprise?  It’s the best thing ever.  The Sacramento Choral Society and Orchestra had organized a great flash mob at the Roseville Galleria, where singers were to gather and sing Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus at the food court.  Unfortunately, the group chorus idea was too popular and fire officials had to evacuate the mall after an aborted flash mob attempt.

The flash mob gathering point, the food court of the Roseville Galleria, was so strained with people that fire imspector Tom Dodaro said there were reports that the foundation was moving and creaking beneath the gathering.  That’s what required the mall evacuation.  Undeterred, the Sacramento Choral Society and Orchestra flash mob headed outside and did their singing out in the parking lot.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
