		<title>i-a teams scheduling i-aa cupcakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first weekend of the college football season is upon us. It features marquee matchups such as Florida State-Samford, Penn State-Youngstown State, and Arkansas-Tennessee Tech. As I type this sentence at 2:03 CDT, there is not a single competitive football game happening. I realize that the big-name schools are always going to schedule cupcakes early [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;taking it to the next level&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know what phrase inexplicably pisses me off? To take something &#8220;to the next level.&#8221; What the hell does it even mean? It might refer to a relationship. Or business negotiations. Or anything, really. Can&#8217;t we find more precise and accurate ways of expressing things that are supposedly being taken to the next level? If [...]]]></description>

		<title>eating the last m&amp;m without realizing it&#8217;s the last one</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re eating a bag of M&#038;M&#8217;s. You&#8217;ve munched your way through almost the entire bag, and you figure that there are probably one or two more in the bag, tucked away in one of the bottom corners, ready to give you one last bite of chocolatey goodness. You turn the bag upside down [...]]]></description>

		<title>getting pepsi instead of coke</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You stop in for a meal at a restaurant. You&#8217;re thirsty. The waitress asks for your drink order. &#8220;I&#8217;ll have a Coke.&#8221; &#8220;Is Pepsi okay?&#8221; GAH! Well, it&#8217;s okay. I don&#8217;t really even dislike Pepsi. If I open up the fridge and see a Pepsi, I don&#8217;t mind drinking it. But wanting a Coke and [...]]]></description>

		<title>people who beg for money</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The homeless guy at I-10 and Elysian Fields. The can-shaking sports teams at Carrollton and Claiborne. The Salvation Army bell-ringers. Your alma mater calling and asking for a donation. Your 8-year-son who wants a snowball. What do they have in common? They&#8217;re all people asking for money. Maybe you give them money, maybe you don&#8217;t, [...]]]></description>

		<title>internet advertising</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not too long ago I complained about TV commercials. What form of advertising am I going to complain about today? Internet advertising. Except this time I&#8217;m not just the embittered consumer sick of ads ruining his television-viewing experience. This time I&#8217;m also the greedy capitalist looking for a few dollars. When I first moved this [...]]]></description>

		<title>the driver who splashed water all over me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Friday I was walking down the sidewalk of Freret Street in shoes that were already completely soaked thanks to walking through the puddles. That&#8217;s bad enough. Then, as I&#8217;m on the sidewalk minding my own business, some asshole driving 30 mph makes no effort to avoid the puddles on the side of the road [...]]]></description>

		<title>speed bumps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day I was driving through the parking lot of a strip mall on my way to a Best Buy to pick up a mouse to replace the piece of crap excuse for a mouse that came with my new iMac. My driving task was made considerably more difficult by the vast number of [...]]]></description>

		<title>apple&#8217;s crappy mice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a Mac fanboy ever since we had a Performa 500-something of other in one of the GT classrooms at my elementary. I just bought my third Mac (not counting the one my family had when I was younger). And sure, they&#8217;re expensive, but the money is worth the smug sense of satisfaction and [...]]]></description>

		<title>state lotteries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now, a good Catholic boy like me should have no objection to gambling. And for the most part, I don&#8217;t. (I mean, I do think casinos are pretty sleazy with the way they block any natural light and prey on old people, but it&#8217;s a free country, right?) After all, I grew up playing turkey [...]]]></description>
