The Grandfather of Generation Jersey Shore


John DeVore's blog post on trutv.com's "Dumb As A Blog" rails over media clown Donald McDonald and what he calls Trump's fake Presidential Run.

Best quote: "All billionaires are not created equal. Super-wealthy New York Mayor Scrooge McDuck (Michael Bloomberg) is a man whose business was business. Donald Trump’s business is clanging cymbals together like a grotesque circus monkey. I won’t make fun of his hair, either, because it’s the only genuinely entertaining thing about him."

You just can't make this stuff up...

God Bless.

The Big T personality





My boss is a thrill seeker. I knew him before he was my boss and I have always respected his business acumen, his integrity, and his strong sense of character. If he wasn't my boss, he'd still be someone cool to hang out with. It tends to amaze me why such a successful guy does crazy sh*t like climbing mountains and skiing out of helicopters.

Christopher Munsey's American Psychological Association Monitor on Psychology article, Jul/Aug 2006 called "Frisky, but more risky" started off describing University of Delaware psychology professor Marvin Zuckerman's findings in the 1960s of behaviors of high sensation-seekers that pertained more to me..."more likely to smoke, abuse alcohol and use drugs". My boss does none of that.

Then, Munsey goes on to report about Temple University psychologist Frank Farley, PhD who has developed a personality model that describes the Big T (thrill-seeking) personality. In Farley's model, the Big T "positive" personality can account for involvement in entrepreneurship, extreme sports such as parachuting and hang-gliding, or creative science and art. My boss is good at all that. Farley's study of thrill-seeking has taken him to Nepal, where he interviewed Mt Everest climbers and doesn't that just beat all...

My boss and his sig other are in Nepal climbing Mt Everest as we speak.

God Bless...

Idaho rivalries


In Boise ID home of one of the greatest college sports rivalries: Boise State Broncos and the Idaho Vandals. Boise State is moving on to a stronger conference and there has been chatter about not having to face the Vandals any more on the "One Bronco Nation Under God" blog.

The funniest quote (ever):
"At halftime (of the 2005 football version of the rivalry) those bw vandals w bronco student tix were hootin like they’d won the Superbowl. Nothing more satisfying than watching them file out early in the 4th; forced to walk by a guy holding a sign of the “new vandal streak” – a toilet seat w a smeared turd on it. Good times…"

I'm still LMAO...

God Bless.
