Fact: The owner-to-be of the Minnesota Vikings said recently that he won't trade Randy Moss.
Opinion: Randy Moss and other idiot-savants like him illustrate to the sports world a fundamental challenge of real life. Sometimes compromising your beliefs pays off. In the Vikings case, they'd probably rather have a team where everyone bought into the concept of team, which Moss clearly does not do. But, the dude makes plays and helps win football games, so they look the other way on his me-first antics. We're all bent out of shape about steroids in baseball, but does the fact that they are so widespread really surprise anyone? Everyone else uses them, why shouldn't I? Its not fair to spot them an advantage, so I just have to keep up. Baseball is more fun to watch with the juicers, and football is more fun to watch with jackasses like Randy Moss in the game. You believe in teamwork and fair competition, but wouldn't you rather be entertained and disillusioned than righteous and bored?
Fact: Looking for a new band to like, I bought an OAR album recently.
Opinion: The lead singer of OAR sings every word of every song as if it were the most important and magnificent word in the history of time, which is cool at first, but gets old really fast. They join my list of otherwise cool bands that I can't get past something annoying about the lead singer. This list includes Led Zeppelin, Smashing Pumkins, Our Lady Peace, maybe a few others.
Fact: Maryland is about to lose to Clemson
Opinion: Terps suck.
Fact: As of the time of this posting, I am the only user of blogger.com with "Afrin" listed as one of my interests.
Opinion: Afrin is glorious nasal mist from God.
Fact: I used the spell check for this post after the Biz called me out on it for a sloppy post a few days ago.
Opinion: People should be allowed to keep midgets as pets.
Fact: Based on my replies to posts in this blog, someone said I "should probably be in an asylum."
Opinion: Everyone but me should probably be in an asylum, but the guy who said that is a gentleman of impeccable repute, so I shan't further slander his good name.

Granted, Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace is an acquired taste. What I like best is that his whiny, off-key waverings are best suited to disguise my lack of crooning skills. And what is that slogan? "Fear the Testudine"? Not likely.
Aww our little Sparksy is becoming a better blogger already. Spellchecking and lots of linking!
Fact: Looking for a new band to like, I bought an OAR album recently.Have you tried Mike Doughty's solo stuff? Obviously if you don't like his voice you wouldn't dig it, but some of it is very cool. Try to hunt up "Busting up a Starbucks."
Opinion: Terps suck.Fuck Duke. At least we got that. Also fuck Fern. Is he dead yet?
