ALF CUP 2009
The ALF Cup scoring system underwent another major overhaul for this season, and so far it's working quite well. Only new (or new-to-me) episodes are scored, and each episode is scored by itself on a scale of 0 to 10 (10 being best). A minimum of 6 episodes is needed for a show's average score to count in the official standings. So this is about as close to the traditional ratings system as I can get.
The season is well underway, but I was waiting until ten shows had aired at least 6 episodes each before posting the current standings. And in scoring the first '10' of the season last night, former champ Family Guy has vaulted into the top spot. Here's the standings after the first 12 weeks:
1. Family Guy, FOX, 7.833
2. Look Around You, TOON, 7.000
2. Nitro Circus, MTV, 7.000
4. The Rick Mercer Report, CBC, 6.889
5. Important Things, COM, 6.714
6. The Whitest Kids U'Know, IFC, 6.667
7. This Hour Has 22 Minutes, CBC, 6.111
8. Wilfred, IFC, 5.286
9. American Dad, FOX, 4.889
10. Lost, ABC, 4.364
Yeah, I know. This is all really pathetic. Shoot bullets through me. But a hobby's a hobby.

IT'S OFFICIAL...I HAVE A MOONROOF
After many discussions with many acquaintances, I had to look up the difference, and since the panel in the roof of The Bus is see-through, and a sunroof is opaque, what I have is a moonroof. Although there's also an inside panel I have to open first in order to get to the moonroof, and I suppose you could consider that panel a sunroof, so maybe I have both. But if that's the case, then my sunroof 'eclipses' my moonroof, which really doesn't seem right.
In any case, I still don't see how I'm supposed to moon people through the thing, especially while I'm driving. I simply do not bend that way!

DON'T GIVE ME THAT DO GOODY GOOD BULLSHIT
If there was any doubt left in anyone's mind that Toledo radio is dead, allow me to now erase it for you...
The other day I heard WXKR edit the 'shit' out of "Money" by Pink Floyd.
NO, repeat, NO self-respecting classic rock station edits the 'shit' out of "Money" or the 'fuck' out of "Who Are You" by The Who. Regardless of the FCC's mood on any given day, those are the two songs you leave alone.
BTW, don't forget to call your representatives in Washington, DC and demand the reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine. Clear Channel and Cumulus are evil, and they must be stopped.

INTRODUCING...
My new steed, a 2003 Saturn Vue:
(That's not mine in the photo, but that's what it looks like)
To quote MST3K: "It's black and demonic and it spreads darkness and death...cool!"
It was previously owned by someone in Pittsburgh (a Steelers fan, I'm sure) so it needed a good Steeler-related nickname. At first I thot old-school, Franco, Mean Joe, etc. But then I went with a more recent reference: Ladies and germs, say hello to THE BUS! I'm thinking maybe some Steeler Gold racing stripes, but I dunno, do racing stripes work on an SUV?
Altho someone at work thot it looked like a hearse. I'm good with that too. (An SUH?) I might have to put those squiggly things on the sides. It'll be the coolest hearse since the Jaguar hearse in "Harold And Maude" (or the psychedelic hearse in "Grand Theft Parsons").
