If all the air around you smelled like pickles and there was no where to run, no where to hide, would you find that at all bothersome?

Holy crap! It’s the 100^th post of the Mustard!!!!

It’s been a week now and yet the only thing I’m able to say is this: WAS CARLOS BELTRAN THE ONLY PERSON ALIVE WHO DIDN’T SEE THE 0-2 CURVEBALL FOR A STRIKE COMING!!!! WAINWRIGHT HAD ONLY THROWN THE SAME DAMN PITCH 10 EFFING TIMES THAT INNING!!!! Seriously, I’m still THAT upset about it.

And sweet merciful Zeus, could ND have cut that game any closer? I mean come on!

The only positive thing in sports for me the whole week was the ass-kicking the Giants gave Dallas on Monday.

SCRUBS IS BACK NOVEMBER 30^TH!!!! Now the bad news: it’s opposite Greys Anatomy and CSI. Thanks NBC. I’m sure the ratings this year will be huge. Frak it, I don’t care. I’m just happy to have it back. I was watching the episode where Turk proposes to Carla the other day and it made me miss the show so much it hurts sometimes.

I’ve been hearing a lot of complaints of people thinking the Office has gotten too zany this year but damnit people, just appreciate a good comedy while it lasts. Ed Helms love of the Cardigans last week was hi-lar-ious.

Um, so they average about 100 songs a season the OC but for the next mix they’re going with all covers? And not classic song covers, but covers of Modest Mouse’s Float On, Spoon’s I Turn My Camera On and The Killers’ Smile Like You Mean It? Is it really necessary to cover songs that are only a year old? And I’m sorry but we do NOT need another rendition of Phantom Planet’s California. It’s already been on 2 Mixes and with all the good music on the show that doesn’t make the mix, why push it on again? Um, and wasn’t Imogen Heap’s cover of Hallelujah supposed to be on the mix? Yet it’s not on the current track listing?

Buffalo tied the NHL mark last night by going 10-0 to open the season and still no one cares. Maybe they should bring back that totally awesome halo thing they used to put around the puck complete with the cutting edge neon tail when the put was shot fast enough.

News and Notes:

GREATEST GIFT EVER!!! Erin got me a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird signed by Harper Lee for our anniversary! How unbelievably cool is that?

Also those of you with speakers may have noticed my newest addition to the blog: song of the week. I figured if I was running that far behind with music reviews I could at least add a little something musical in here.

Factcheck.org – Please don’t vote uninformed…or solely informed from BS political ads.

And be sure to watch Lost next week because the rumors are that someone MAJOR is permanently checking off the island.

Seriously, I’m still that depressed about the Mets.

Until next time:

“Snakes are gross. Snakes are scary and slithery and do you know where snakes do not belong?”

“On a plane?”

“They do not belong on a plane.”

“It's not an ideal situation.”

“They do not belong anywhere except in cages, stuck in safes burried deep, deep underground. I hate snakes.”

“So I'm gathering.”

“With their gross no legged bodies and their scaly, scaly skin, and their wiggling and their hissing.”

“Okay, Lore, I respect your very valid feelings about snakes. But I have to say, we were fairly warned.”

“No. No. A movie should not just be its title. Driving Miss Daisy didn't all take place in a car, Dances With Wolves wasn't one long wolf dance. But this was nothing but snakes. snakes, relentless snakes, snakes, on a plane, snakes, snakes, snakes on a plane!”
