Stephen Colbert on Women & Sporting Events: “Women don’t belong at sporting events. When a man’s team wins a game, he gets a rush of testosterone, and when it loses he feels like the world has ended. That’s why we have to get drunk, run out onto the field and get dragged away by security. Ladies, you’ll never understand.”
Well, the University of Oklahoma was beaten by Texas. The Red River Shootout is always a big deal here in Oklahoma. (I’ve never seen more OU clothes worn by people in a single day at the store.) It’s always a shame when the Sooners lose to the Longhorns because that is the week where everyone is an OU fan.
I think it is strange that Bedlam (OU vs. OSU) divides the state. Then OU plays Texas and everyone becomes OU fans. Then the conference championships happen and you say, “At least it was someone from the Big 12.” And then the Olympics happen and you root for the guy from USA even though you jeered him when he performed well wearing that hideous orange-brown Texas color. Strange how clothes can change your opinion of someone...
If people really wanted to obtain racial harmony, what we need to do is have an interstellar Olympics where our athletes compete against the athletes of Omicron Persei 8. Then everyone would be cheering, “Go Earth!” and rooting for the same team.
That’s it, people! I’ve discovered the path to racial harmony. Now all the governments have to do is build the lightspeed spacecraft, discover alien life forms, and work out the contest rules and hire the caterers for the Interstellar Olympics and we will discover world peace!! And I’m not even going to charge you for this idea. Free ride. Get to work, Government.
Well, it’s October. That means the Foley household is all decorated up in glowing foam Jack O’ Lanterns, spooky skeletons, and those flickering nightlights that are supposed to look like candles. I love Halloween and all the decorations. Behind Christmas, it is my favorite. I love to see the carved faces of the Jack O’ Lanterns in the windows in the evening. I wish they made solid versions of those foam pumpkins so you could carve out your own designs.
And Amy and I always hit the Wal-Mart on November 1st when everything is marked down. We load up on the cheap, store the decorations away, and break them out for next year. (We do the same thing with Christmas stuff too.)
But now that it is October, the days are getting shorter. The Air Conditioning is turned off. Football is on Sundays. It’s cold in the morning but comfortable in the afternoon. Man, it’s getting into my favorite time of the year.

I'm now going to enjoy two days off in a row. Maybe that means I'll post some more blogs. Have a great day, everyone.
