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...

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...

Song Analysis: Your Blood by Aurora

Do You Recognize the Melody? When I first listened to Aurora's 2023 hit single, " Your Blood ," I was immediately reminded of " Lovefool ," a 1996 classic from fellow Scandinavians, The Cardigans. I assumed they were both singing about unrequited love, but I realized they told different stories as I spent more time with Aurora's work. Background Interview with the Artist In this article, A Matter of the Heart , Aurora gives listeners a glimpse into the meaning behind her hit single, " Your Blood" .  In summary, "Your Blood" reflects on the loss of heart and empathy in a world driven by rationality and profit, exploring themes of pain, empathy, and interconnectedness.  Inspired by a letter written by  Indigenous activists from Brazil , Aurora's album,  What Happened to the Heart?,  questions humanity's reliance on mind over heart, highlighting how decisions driven by logic rather than compassion lead to suffering, both for the Eart...
