Ironic what you learn on 'Jeopardy!' and Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo's hilarious exchange analyzing 'Sox Appeal'

I took a break from watching the Red Sox-Rays baseball game last night to beat Robin in Jeopardy! Well, that's not exactly true. She won this time. The categories were terrible. Anytime I see Art, Opera, Ballet, o.k., let me concede this category. Occasionally, I'll have some luck with an educated guess. The final Jeopardy question really reminded me how I reject the Clinton Administration and this one's crazy "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

Here's the question which is still embedded in my memory: In 2007, this entertainer and former sitcom star was awarded "Honorary Corporal" by the U.S. Marine Corps. (Music). Do ya' know? Jim Nabors (Gomer Pyle and an open homosexual). What's ironic about the military's disdain for homosexuality is its very foundation. Frederich von Steuben, a Prussian General, offered his services to our Colonials during The Revolutionary War. Much of West Point's military code is based on his military expertise he lended. Yet, it's fine for say, Blackwater mercenaries to molest and even rape our brave young women in Iraq. It's the ultimate hypocrisy.

Clingy, Debonair guys with catchy pickup lines says 'I'm artificial' -- A down-to-earth, honest one should be catch #1

Last night, I heard the term "metrosexuals" used by Jerry Remy. I hadn't heard it in awhile. During the game, it was the second taping of a dating reality show at Fenway Park called "Sox Appeal." Three contestants compete to win over their potential one month dating sweetheart (guesstimate on time length). Two guys were clean cut and extremely too well dressed to be at a ball game. Remy called them metrosexuals or guys who like to shop. He said shopping is the worst thing he has to do. He just wants to get in and out of the store. Amen.

A third guy wore a Boston Red Sox jersey and probably weighed about 300 lbs. with a buzz cut. He wasn't fat, just built. He had about three cups of beer in front of him. Remy said the other two guys are probably driving a Porsche and Ferrari, while this guy came in a Ford. Ladies, take the guy who enjoys doing guy things. If your guy worries more about fashion than you do, you should immediately terminate the relationship.
