Upset Specials and Random Thoughts waiting for the Great Pumpkin

Hi there. Yes even pumpkin patches have wireless Internet connection and so we kick off this edition with "Opie's Upset Specials!" Last week another 2 for 2 weekend. Wisconsin barely got by Iowa and I reluctantly took the Raiders over the Broncos. Well the da Raiders reluctantly put up 59 and lit up the Broncos. So after a slow start I been 5 for 6 the last 3 weeks. This week we're gonna get a little risky, no 3 point spreads this time. Going with the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes heading into South Bend to beat the Golden Domers and for the pro, take the Packers over the J-E-T-S Jets.
What was more shocking? The Raiders 59 points or the Browns spanking the Saints.
The Association kicked off another season...Boring!
I think Mets fans were celebrating more over the fact that the Yanks and Phils lost, than the Rangers and Giants fans were that their teams' won the pennant and are playing in the World Series.
This weeks sign of the apocalypse. The season finale of "Jersey Shore" was the most watched show in the history of MTV.
It's nice to know that Charlie Harper isn't much of a character stretch for Charlie Sheen.
Only in New York City could a tree house in a backyard be illegal. Apparently a women spent 5g's to build a tree house for her 3 daughters to play and hang out in. A neighbor complained saying the tree house was unsafe and there was no construction permit. Since the neighborhood is in a historic landmark district, a permit was needed. A permit to build and occupy a tree house! This woman had to spend another 5g's to defend the tree house. Luckily, the Landmark Preservation Commission had some common sense and granted the tree house a permit. And we want to know why our kids are becoming screwed up, robots. Too much structure and not enough letting kids daydream and just be kids. We think they have these problems like ADD, ADHD, OCD or they are Bi-Polar. We send them to therapist who give them all these drugs to calm them down and balance the chemical imbalances. Parents, kids are going get scrapes and bruises when they fall down. Kiss the boo boo and put a band aid on it to make it better They'll be picked on by other kids and will get into the occasional fight. But eventually they make up, calmer heads prevail and act like nothing happened.
I know Halloween is supposed to be a fun holiday for kids, but there is something disturbing about seeing pets in costume. Even adults getting dressed up can be a sad exercise and I shake my head sometime. If you have any leftover Snickers' on November 1st, I'll be glad to help dispose of them in a safe and proper manner...Leccese out.
