Tiger Stadium Needs You

Click here or lose Tiger Stadium forever. Out of all the burnt-out shells of buildings that litter the city of Detroit, why the city council is going through with the demolition of Tiger Stadium is beyond me. I recently stayed in downtown Detroit and there is nothing to do except gamble, watch sports, and hump lamp posts. Tiger Stadium is a much needed tourist attraction that the city cannot bear to lose. Obviously it isn't creating a lot of revenue by just sitting there vacant but neither is an empty lot that will take its place. The good people at the Tiger Stadium Conservancy project have plans put together that will create a park that keep the historic legacy of the ballpark alive, create revenue for the city, and more importantly, create new memories for future generations.

Is it just me or has this blog gotten too preachy? Maybe I should do a salute to the David James Elliot and Catherine Bell joint, "JAG" sometime in the near future.

John McClane for President.

Another video I stole from my brother:

Schlafly is the new black.

I know you have all been waiting for my take on the whole InBev/AB thing. Well, I don't plan on dignifying it with a response. What I will do is tell you about the fantastic beer made by The Saint Louis Brewery, Schlafly. Schlafly is a locally crafted beer that goes down smooth and does not sacrifice anything on taste. With two breweries in the St. Louis area and over a dozen brands, The St. Louis Brewery is the largest American-owned brewery in the St. Louis area. My personal favorite is Schlafly Pale Ale but the wife loves her some Schlafly Hefeweizen.

In other news: Michigan has some new duds.

Cool huh? The adidas logo will take some getting used to but I like 'em. I especially like the nod to Bo with the "Those who stay will be champions" sewn into the collar and the hidden Big Ten Championships on the shoulders.

Dance...(you know, like that weird song from the late 1990s tells you to.)

My brother sent me this video today saying it was the coolest video he has ever seen and that he was extremely jealous of the dude in them. Since my brother has seen literally 6.7 trillion videos and hasn't been jealous of any man since his eyebrows came in strong back in the late 1990s, this was a video I had to watch. As it turned out my brother was correct. Here is the video:



I know this guy has been around the internets for years now but I just caught on today (just like I just caught on five seconds ago that I did not coin the term "internets.") His name is Matt Harding and quit his job as a video game programmer a few years ago and decided to travel the world. That is awesome. I have spent over twenty years of my life in school and I bet that Matt learned more in five trips than I have my entire life. I am going to be a lawyer and will be chained to a desk or courtroom 60 hours a week or more for the rest of my life and will never get to a even an twelfth of the places in that video. Don't get me wrong I am living a very happy life and what not but who wouldn't want to dance with a tribe of New Guineas and then go to the Korean DMZ dance there and have the North Koreans think the West has gone completely insane. It's just really cool is all.
