The Sneakiness Awards


If you have never considered what would happen if the infamous Carmen SanDiego and the elusive [Where's] Waldo got together and had a child, now is the time . . .


In an award ceremony, Carmen and Waldo's little girl would come in first place. Cleverly disguised Carmen would closely follow her daughter in second, and the crafty but wildly unfashionable Waldo would take third.

The honorable mention, however, would definitely be awarded to the Spanish butler in Mr. Deeds, Emilio.


"I fear you are underestimating the sneakiness, sir." --Emilio




Emilio's part in the Adam Sandler film, Mr. Deeds, is one of the only redemptive parts of that movie. I am sick of Adam Sandler. Sure, his Hanaka song is hoot to hear once or twice over the Holidays, but his films are excruciatingly annoying. He plays the exact same character in all of them:

-You Don't Mess with the Zohan
-Click
-The Longest Yard
-50 First Dates
-Anger Management
-Mr. Deeds
-Little Nicky
-Big Daddy
-Waterboy
-The Wedding Singer
-Happy Gilmore
-Billy Madison

All the main characters were identical. And stupid. Spanglish and Reign Over Me arguably portray characters with some depth, but would inevitably lose in a debate.

Case in point:

    I hate Adam Sandler too. Don't think I can think of one movie with him that I like.

    Why are some people SO annoying to others. Yet Adam is probably thought to be hilarious by a large percentage of the American population.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l
