Instant E*Thos: Shhhhh...
http://instant-ethos.blogspot.com/2007/09/shhhhh.html
A Hearty Blend of Truth and Hyperbole. Thursday, September 06, 2007. Two observations while watching tennis this week:. Why is that in tennis, spectators must remain so quiet during play? When did women's on-court attire start looking like figure-skating costumes? Is it really comfortable playing tennis in lace and toille? Posted by Instant E*Thos. You know the old George Carlin routine about football and baseball? Football is played in a STADIUM. Baseball is played in a PARK! Tennis players are SISSIES!

Instant E*Thos: Batting Crown
http://instant-ethos.blogspot.com/2007/09/batting-crown.html
A Hearty Blend of Truth and Hyperbole. Tuesday, September 11, 2007. Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Chase Utley is currently leading the National League in batting average with 18 games to play. (He'd wouldn't crack the top three in the American League.) If he wins the NL batting title, he'd be the first Phillies player to claim the title since. Richie Ashburn in 1958! Posted by Instant E*Thos. The only question is: Will he finish his career a Phillie? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Instant E*Thos: Michaels, Cosell and Weaver
http://instant-ethos.blogspot.com/2007/02/michaels-cosell-and-weaver.html
A Hearty Blend of Truth and Hyperbole. Tuesday, February 13, 2007. Michaels, Cosell and Weaver. Speaking of hiatuses, baseball is about to come out of it's annual hibernation. To get us all in the mood, all this week the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network has been replaying a game of the 1983 World Series each night. I guess it's one (dis)advantage of living in Baltimore. Hey, it could be worse. I could live in Toronto. But what's up with the facial hair? I can't believe how many of these guys had mustaches!

Instant E*Thos: Real Scary Movie
http://instant-ethos.blogspot.com/2006/10/real-scary-movie.html
A Hearty Blend of Truth and Hyperbole. Sunday, October 29, 2006. For some reason, typical horror films, with their formulaic plots and predictable shockers, just don't scare me. I'm more creeped out by psychological thrillers like "The Shining" or one of the more eerie Rod Serling "Twilight Zone" episodes. Sends chills down my spines and brings chuckles up from my belly. Enjoy and be nice to pumpkins. The Life and Death of a Pumpkin. Posted by Instant E*Thos. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Instant E*Thos: Hello, Huxtable Residence
http://instant-ethos.blogspot.com/2007/02/hello-huxtable-residence.html
A Hearty Blend of Truth and Hyperbole. Monday, February 19, 2007. Hello, Huxtable Residence. Playing in an adult softball league is one of the few youthful pursuits I have left. As I approach a milestone birthday, I feel like I'm showing my age more than I should. I'm married. I'm a father. I own a minivan. I have a mortgage. And now the wife and I are shopping for a bigger home for our growing family. Where did this cliche originate? Is it just Hollywood imitating itself? Why not a pocket door? FYI, you...

Instant E*Thos: White Ashes to Ashes
http://instant-ethos.blogspot.com/2006/10/field-of-dreams.html
A Hearty Blend of Truth and Hyperbole. Wednesday, October 18, 2006. White Ashes to Ashes. You may have seen the story about Major League Baseball licensing logos to mortuaries. If not, the picture here speaks for itself. In case it doesn't, I submit the following captions for this image, and invite you do the same in the comments area:. Here lie the hopes of a Phillies' Championship. That Phanitic suit is hot inside.really hot. In loving memory of Tommy Green's arm. Look, I finally caught a foul ball!

Instant E*Thos: Nationals Park Review
http://instant-ethos.blogspot.com/2008/05/nationals-park.html
A Hearty Blend of Truth and Hyperbole. Tuesday, May 20, 2008. Hidden in the depths of the Nationals web site is information about something called the "Nats Express." It would be helpful if the service was called something like "Free RFK Shuttle," because that's what it is. The Nationals have thoughtfully arranged for free shuttle service from the abundant parking lots at RFK Stadium, where the parking is also free. (And did I mention abundant? Seating and Sightlines: C. I wonder if that includes "conven...

A Hearty Blend of Truth and Hyperbole. Tuesday, October 09, 2007. I've Got Plans Then Too. When someone says, "I'll see you next Saturday," do they mean. This Saturday. The next one coming up in this same week. The Saturday after next. A week from this coming Saturday. Free polls from Pollhost.com. Posted by Instant E*Thos. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Instant E*Thos: Willing to Sacrifice
http://instant-ethos.blogspot.com/2007/02/on-subject-of-manners-people-arent-just.html
A Hearty Blend of Truth and Hyperbole. Thursday, February 15, 2007. On the subject of manners, people aren't just weasels online - they're jerks after a snow/ice/sleet storm, too. There are some standards of human decency in times of wintry weather that seem not to apply south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Namely:. 1) A few handfuls of rock salt sprinkled on the ground are not a substitute for actually shoveling your sidewalk. 1a) Shovel your g.d. sidewalk. 6) SHOVEL YOUR SIDEWALK! Perhaps these various wintr...
