    Have you ever noticed how many personal injury attorneys there are now? And you can't say monkey anymore. It is a children's outdoor agility apparatus. There are a lot of civil rights attorneys, too.

    Jeez. Red beat me to it!

    My observation for the day is: parents that enable their kids to be irresponsible serve their children a complete disservice. I have a contentious conference coming up tomorrow.

    if you're ever on vacation, which professors and teachers often are, you'll notice while watching daytime tv that every other commercial is a personal injury attorney.

    clearly, their target market is someone not working and not wanting to work while watching jerry springer.

    That's why God invented DVR, Sweetie. I can hardly watch a program in real time anymore--except for sporting events.

    And I hate daytime TV.

    I know. I've never seen Oprah. I mean, I know who she is and that she has a huge hit show . . . I've just never seen it. I haven't watched a game show since I was 12. Somebody loaned me a Jerry Springer tape once. I was bored in 10 minutes flat. Eject.

    That sums it up pretty well for me, Red. And I haven't watched a game show since I was 12, either. I used to watch "The Price Is Right" at my grandparents house when they would keep me during the summers.

    Well, my dad was a welder so he built a set out of scrap pipe and rebar for us from his shop. They were set up in a massive sandbox in the back yard so there weren't many possibilities for anyone else to get hurt except for us. Then, when we got hurt, we had to walk it off because we couldn't afford to go to the doctor. Buncha pansies walking around nowadays...

    I want to see Lane Kiffin and Urban Meyer fight to the death in a bear cage.
