what i learned in (we're going to pretend it's not punishment) traffic school

• traffic school is the punishment, so for the sake of those attending please don't teach the class like it's not
• apparently driving while impaired by alcohol is bad (driving under any impairment is bad...i'm looking at you  nintendo dsi boy)
• emergency vehicles are exempt from the law even while not on an emergency (nothing says respect the law like a double park starbucks run)
• bicycles tend to come out the worse in a crash with a car
• pedestrians are the big loser in a crash with anything
• always make sure all your shirt buttons are buttoned before giving a presentation
• if your only reason for going to traffic school is to explain your innocence, please rethink this (your guilty and the sooner you come to that realization the happier we all will be)
• man, i wish i would have just paid the $242
• hippies play ultimate frisbee (who would have guessed)
• doing wheelies is only okay in the movies (bigtime bummer)

the truth about lionel ritchie

while watching the nba finals last night i had an epiphany:  lionel ritchie and dr. j (julius erving) are indeed the same person.  i will conduct my argument in my traditional bullet style.

• no one has ever attended a sixers game and a commodores/lionel ritchie concert at the same time
• in spring 1986 dr. j refused to sing 'easy like a sunday morning' during karaoke night at the rainbow room, nearly breaking into tears when the crowd demanded it
• why he was at the rainbow room has yet to be determined
• lionel ritchie will not touch a basketball in the presence of another human being
• however secret footage, not available for this blog, does show him getting his game on at the ritchie lemur ranch
• the trademark dr. j afro, was no more than a wig.  that's right dr. ritchie is bald.  this makes it easy for him to switch between the lionel ritchie jerry curl and the dr. j afro (dude is ingenious)
• and the final proof the two glamor shots below were taken two weeks apart.  you tell me the difference
