Last week, the University of Chief Illiniwek basketball team hosted the hated rival Indiana Hoosiers. The underlying story line was that there was a kid for Indiana, Eric Gordon, that, in the minds of Illiniwek fans, reneged on his commitment to play for...

All right, boys and girls and assorted other, today is “Super Tuesday” (what’s so “super” about it, I don’t know) in Illinois, meaning it’s the primary elections where you- that’s right, YOU- can help decide...

Did you all see that game
I was convinced it would be a massacre. Patriots 42, Giants 9. Patriots 38, Giants 0. Patriots 56, Giants 13. I was so confident these two teams were so grossly mismatched that the game would be over by about 2:15 left in th...

Today is Groundhog Day, February 2nd, or as I like to call it, Yaph (Yet Another Pointless “Holiday”) Day. Here’s the scoop, for anyone that lives under a rock, or at least hasn’t seen the Bill Murray-Andie MacDowell flick.

When I was a kid in the 70’s, there were all kinds of shows on TV that had “cool” guys on them. A lot of them were cop/detective shows- things like The Rockford Files, S.W.A.T., Starsky & Hutch, Hawaii Five-O, Kojak, The Rookies, th...

Great commercial. I’ve never heard of the beer, but I’d try it just because of the top-notch commercial.This completely immature moment brought to you by JohannDropsABlogDOTCom by way of YouTube.

There is an article in today’s SJ-R about how the number of organ donors has increased since the first-person consent donor registry went into effect in 2006. It recalls the story of how a 23-year-old died from injuries suffered in an auto acciden...

Dan over at BFS wrote this article that appeared in today’s SJ-R. I’ve had pretty much the exact same opinion about the jewelry industry for years.
Absolutely brilliant article, Dan.

Stealing from a post over at Disarranging Mine, I submit 8 things you may or may not know about me. Or really care about, for that matter.I went to France when I was 10. Actually, when I was 9. I turned 10 while I was there.
I have this “thing...

So SJ-R.com actually had an “Our Opinion” article that actually made some sense. SOME sense. I can’t give them too much credit, given their past track record with their “opinions”, and especially since their reasoning for th...

I.E., the “faceslap-dot-jaypeg” types. Ask one of those nimrods- I bet they know it. It’s probably on the MIT entrance exam.
Myself, I had to steal the information from another blog, which is where I get pretty much all “my ideas...

Bizarre news day today.
Barack Obama “won” the Iowa caucus for the Bleeding Hearts Democrats, apparently, and for what it’s worth. Not sure yet if that’s a good thing or not, but at least that psycho-bitch Hilary Clinton didn̵...

It’s a wonder men and women can hook up at all. There are so many huge differences between men and women (and so many things about men that can easily turn women off and vice versa) that it makes you wonder how one could possibly be attracted to th...

As of the first of the year, CourtTV became truTV. I never watched CourtTV, so I can’t really say I’ll miss it. Near as I can tell, Court TV basically showed Cops a lot, and then had courtroom and forensic shows that were “actual”...

Happy 2008, everyone.
I feel like total hammered shit today. I didn’t go out anywhere for NYE; I didn’t even drink any alcohol, save for two glasses of Asti at midnight. I woke up, however, feeling as though I’d just woken from a six-d...

Or at least not a fan of their representative NFL franchise. So sue me.
Okay, so the New England Patriots went 16-0 this season. Good for them, hasn’t been done since the ‘72 Dolphins, blah blah blah blah blah, whoop-dee-shit. Can we please...

Okay, I have to say something. I don’t want JDAB to become one of those blogs that wages an ongoing “war” on some other blog in some arch-enemy, good vs. evil thing, but I have to speak out on something in particular. Especially since h...
