Random Thursday

*I had high hopes for the Cookie Dough Oreos.  Maybe too high.  And while they were ok, they gave off a distinctive coffee taste.  I found the Marshmallow Crispy Oreos to be much better.

*Why are Samoa Girl Scout Cookies now called Caramel Delites?  What happened?

*Since Joe Mauer will be playing first base for the Twins, we won't have to hold our breath anymore to see if he's going to be in the lineup for, gasp, two days in a row.  Or a day game after a night game.  Gone are all the convenient excuses for him to not play.

*It's been weird cheering for USA hockey players I normally cheer against.  Especially David Backes and Ryan Kesler.  And Phil Kessel.  I don't remember Backes being that good at Mankato State.

*Speaking of hockey, Hockey Guy has been writing a blog for the Los Angeles Times during the Olympics.  I was shocked too.  On several levels.

*I'd really like to see the Lamoureux Twins get the Gold Medal they so richly deserve.

*The daylight hours are getting longer in Grand Forks.  That helps the Seasonal Affective Disorder.

*Reggie Tales shout out to my dad frolicking about in Mexico.

*The rest of the world figured out what we here already knew:  TJ Oshie is good.

*What is wrong with the United States Curling program?

*Kurt Cobain would have been 47 years old today.

Random Thursday

*A couple Super Bowl commercials I forgot about which I enjoyed: The Jerry Seinfeld one and the one with the guys from Full House.  I don't remember what they were selling but I laughed.

*Zesta Crackers beat all other crackers.

*When it comes to peanut butter, Jif is the one and only.

*It looks like Coach Bubba of UND Football did a much better job with recruiting than a lot of prognosticators thought.

*How did the people of Russia fool the world into being allowed to host the olympics?

 *Reggie Tales shout out to Top Dog Grooming in Grand Forks.

*I don't think I'm going to watch my Facebook movie. I read the book.

*I think Seth Meyers is much funnier than Jimmy Fallon.

Random Thursday on a Tuesday

*The Super Bowl was bad and the commercials were almost as disappointing.

*My favorites were:  Doritios Time Machine, Bud Light Horse and Dog, and Radio Shack.

*I still can't figure out what the Denver Broncos did for the two weeks before the game.

*Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of my top five favorite actors.

*Reggie Tales shout out to Cousin Matt in Michigan.

*Kudos to Summer Sidekick for pointing out to me this morning that the Reggie Tales Blog is four years old this week.  A lot of you wonder why I keep him on the payroll.  Well, there's your answer.

*SNL had its best show in a long time this past Saturday.  And Imagine Dragons were really good as the musical guest.

*Reggie Tales bonus shout out to Debbie in Lecanto.
