High School Wrestling Hazing

This is pretty disturbing story, but true. In my time in Junior High Wrestling, I put up with a ton of stuff, but we just didn't consider it anything other than bullshit you had to tolerate. Towel whippings that left you barely able to walk, Ben-Gay on your jock strap, etc.

Stop Pop Up Windows

There are a lot of pop up stoppers for your browser out there. The downside is they will usually prey on most users ignorance and install rougue software and other nasty things on your computer. Try this one from Bayden. It is clean, fast, reliable and very well designed. Install, then reboot. Feel good about giving the finger to the web developers doing this lame bidding for lame advertising that everyone ignores!

The Weight

We have been learning this song for our company party at the EMP. I am just reminded that this is one of the greatest songs ever done. The Band was pure Americana and Robbie Robertson remains one of my favorite guitar players and song writers. There has been lots of speculation over the years on the meanings in the song, that only adds. I saw Levon Helm and Bonnie Bramlett do a version of this at BB Kings place in Memphis in '01 and it brought the house down.
