Snow Dogs Get Blowbacked

To anyone who's read the news about BP corrosion catastrophe, associated that with my line of work (I write software that focuses on pipeline corrosion), and concluded that was step 1 in my plan to destroy Alaska: you are mistaken. I would never attempt to destroy Alaska because, while I haven't been there, it seems like a fun place (this statement is completely derived from those Coke commercials with the polar bears). Also, Snow Dogs takes place in Alaska, and I happen to like that movie; I'd really undermine that movie's legitimacy if its one adult, male fan happened to destroy its setting. For the love of God, where would they film the sequel?! Cuba Gooding Jr, your legacy is safe in my hands.

If you're wondering why I've watched Snow Dogs, it's because, for a reason only known to Time Warner, my cable box receives Black Starz. Now I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to avoid that channel; no, it's just a little strange that the only premium channels I get are HBO, Wam! (which is some sort of kids movie channel), and Black Starz. The people at the cable company probably think I obsess over nudity, cartoons, and Danny Glover.

One might think with a lineup like that, I'd watch a lot more HBO. Sadly, I can only watch Blowback and the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantaloons so many times. I probably end up watching all three channels equally, and I think it was on a Black Starz night that I ended up watching Snow Dogs. And there you have it, an exhaustive explanation for one line reference of Snow Dogs.

Do I have other news? Well, the Rangers are killing me in painfully cliche fashion. If it's accepted protocol for the team to die in the second half of the summer, why not play it up a little bit? You know, something like 'First 5 fans to enter get to switch off at DH' or 'Drunkest guy in the stands gets to pinch run'.

This is why I've given serious thought to just giving up on all sports entirely. Why waste energy rooting for a bunch of millionaire wankers to triumph over another group of millionaire wankers, who just happen to be wearing a different uniform? If I want to have an effect, I need to direct this energy towards something closer to home. I'm giving serious thought to staying home from work tomorrow, setting up a lawn chair in the driveway with a cooler of beer, and booing the garbage man. You call that working the recycle bin? I've seen better moves in a U-Haul!
