Chicken Wings — Why The Heck Do I Keep Eating Them?

Brett Alan — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 14:06:01 +0000

When people think Buffalo, they think wings. Other places might try, but they just cannot compete with Buffalo’s wings. They taste so good! But they always make me feel terrible. It never fails. I always feel awful after I eat them. So why do I keep it up? The good news is that I have [...]

Budweiser Buddy Cup Is A Bad Idea [VIDEO]

Brett Alan — Tue, 07 May 2013 17:20:06 +0000

There are certain things that you shouldn't do when you're drinking. Obviously driving is on that list. I think calling ex-girlfriends should be out. Texting should be out all together.

Social networking, too, can be a bad idea when you're drinking. Which is why the Budweiser Buddy Cup could be a very bad idea.

How Long Do You Keep Your Christmas Decorations Up?

Brett Alan — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 13:15:18 +0000

The holidays are over and the snow has already begun to melt (although I know there will be more to come). Yet I still have not taken down my Christmas decorations. I know it seems late but this year it's because we are waiting for some family members to see them still. But how late is too late?

It’s wintertime. People get colds. I have had one since Thursday. I thought I was doing people a favor over the weekend by refusing to shake hands for fear of getting them sick too. But you should have seen the looks I got! I’m lucky that I get to meet a lot of new people [...]

Chiefs Players Taking Aim At Chiefs Fans

Brett Alan — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 23:21:43 +0000

I'm a Bills fan. I have been for all of my life. Needless to say, I understand frustration. However, I also understand sportsmanship. In my opinion there are things that fans should and should not do when they go to a game. Cheering when a player gets injured is one of those things that a fan should never do

I go through this every year. Fall is very obviously here yet I hesitate to take the air conditioning out of the windows just in case we get another warm day. So when is the perfect time to take the air out?Do you wait until the snow is on the ground? Is there a special [...]

What is the Strangest Food Combination You've Ever Seen?

Brett Alan — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 00:11:44 +0000

A couple days ago I put together a list of my 5 favorite things to find in my lunchbox as a kid. There were also a couple things that I was always hoping were not in there when I flipped the lid open. One of those things was a sandwich that my dad used to make. We didn't think that much of it when we were growing up, but looking back at it now, it could have been one of the strangest sandwich combinations ever.

Schools That Bribe Kids For Attendance — Quit Spoiling Our Youth [OPINION]

Brett Alan — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 03:11:27 +0000

When I was a kid, we went to school for two reasons. The first reason was just that it was what you did. Kids went to school because that’s what kids did. The other reason was if Dad found out we weren’t there, we’d be in BIG trouble. But now, kids are being enticed with gifts for their attendance.

Do You Hate Going to the Dentist? [POLL]

Brett Alan — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 23:15:12 +0000

When I was a kid, I was scared to death of the dentist. If it wasn’t the dentist, it was the orthodontist. I just hated going. I’m not sure if it was the tightening of my braces, the extractions, the fillings or just the sound of the drill that I hated the most…but I hated [...]

The Awkwardness Of Hugging [POLL]

Brett Alan — Thu, 10 May 2012 01:31:47 +0000

We've all had that moment. The one where it's time to say goodbye and you have to decide what the appropriate gesture is. Do you wave, give a firm handshake, or go for the awkward hug? I prefer the wave. With this being National Hug Week , I thought I'd explore what makes hugs so awkward.

As I was driving “The Mothership” (my minivan) around at the mall today I came across something that I just had to share with you. I’ve seen some pretty jaw dropping parking before but this one was pretty amazing. How many door dings do you think came from this park job? Honestly, there’s a good [...]

Brett Alan — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 04:41:15 +0000

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. I've been called the Valentine's Day grinch more than once in my life because honestly, I don't believe in the day. It's a day set aside to tell someone that you love them. but honestly, shouldn't every day be that day? So I don't endorse people going out and spending tons of money on this holiday. However, if you do choose to go out and buy gifts, I hope that this list of do's and don'ts from my perspective helps you choose wisely.
