You may not know Lynette Hardaway by that name. But if I told you she was “Diamond” of the conservative political commentators “Diamond and Silk,” you would immediately feel the creepiness. Hardaway and her partner Rochelle Richardson (“Silk”) spent the past six years not only supporting Donald Trump, but also supporting all of his arguments…
Read MoreHow to explain Cold Chisel, the All-Blacks and a pub with no beer while eating lamb
Australia Day is Australia’s celebratory holiday. And even if we look past what Australia Day symbolizes – for those whose families lived in Australia for 40,000 years as opposed to those who barely crack two centuries – there are two main traditions to this holiday. The first is to, for some reason, enjoy barbecued lamb…
Read MoreI’ll take a 9-8. And trade Trubisky.
Well, Steelers fans, we did all we could. The Steelers slapped the Cleveland Browns 28-14, finishing the season at 9-8 and giving Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin his 16th consecutive season of a .500 record or better. No other head coach has ever achieved such a start to their career, and only three other head…
Read MoreFound another Italian Cheeseburger restaurant… yum-o
Last July, I blogged about the delicious (and seemingly Albany-centric) restaurant delicacy known as the Italian Cheeseburger. An Italian Cheeseburger consists of two beef patties on a toasted or grilled grinder roll, with the beef patties layered with cheese, mustard, ketchup and French fries inside the grinder roll. The sandwich is sliced into a “short”…

Good morning, blog readers. Nice to see you here. I’ve got a lot of things on the plate this weekend – the National Basketball League of Canada kicks off its 11th season with the Sudbury (Ont.) Five hosting the opening game tonight. And tomorrow, I need the Pittsburgh Steelers to beat the Cleveland Browns (and…

Read MoreThere’s nothing wrong with hash browns in a milk carton.
The other day, I visited the new South End Grocery (the former McDonald’s on North Pearl Street and Madison Avenue). It’s a small little shopping center, but it has lots of tasty items and staples, including fresh vegetables and meats. It also has something I’ve been meaning to try for a while. Hash Browns in…
Read MoreSo much for a “good deed has its rewards,” BJ’s Wholesale Club. Meh.
I was shopping at what was once the location of Northway Mall (now a strip mall with a Target and a Lowe’s and a BJ’s Wholesale Club, among others) when, upon leaving the Lowe’s, I noticed something on the ground. It was a membership card for BJ’s Wholesale Club. Someone must have dropped it. Well,…
Read MoreCall it a tie and make a donation, NFL. For Damar Hamlin’s sake.
As a Steelers fan, it’s not in my nature to watch a Buffalo Bills – Cincinnati Bengals Monday Night Football game. But this morning, I heard the horrifying news. Damar Hamlin, a safety for the Buffalo Bills who was getting plenty of starts and playing time in relief of the injured Micah Hyde, tackled Cincinnati’s…
Read MoreHorny walruses and raunchy senior citizen rappers … Rue Britannia, my ass!
What’s the best way to ring in the year 2023? Champagne? Confetti? Paper horns? Off-key performances of Auld Lang Syne? Oh, this has them all beat. And I do mean “beat.” So here’s the deal. Somehow a walrus wound up on the beach in Scarborough, England. Now a walrus is not something one sees in…
