Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Man Seeks Record for Arm Hair Length:
Jon Sanford takes good care of his hair, washing it regularly and conditioning it occasionally. Now he might break a record for that hair — on his arms.

One particularly long strand measured 4.1 inches. If the measurement is ruled official by Guinness World Records, Sanford will have topped the previous record of 3.96 inches.

'It's my mutant hair,' said Sanford, 37.

Adventures in Surreality

We were at Häagen-Dazs tonight getting a little dessert after a nice Mexican dinner. Häagen-Dazs offers a 20% discount upon presentation of a AAA card. Apparently other membership cards are also accepted, as this dialogue demonstrates:
Me: Here's my AAA card.
Häagen-Dazs girl: Okay, AA discount.
Me: Triple-A, not AA.
HDg: Oh, you don't look that old, how old are you? (said smiling, not rudely)
Me: ...
HDg: Don't you have to be some age to join that?
Me: Triple-A, not AARP.

File under: Bad Eats.

This POP display in the beer cooler at the local Safeway really does feature Good Eats' Alton Brown offering you a Miller Lite.

Plink! Darn this gold glove

In what has become an annual tradition, Oakland third baseman Eric Chavez has won his sixth consecutive Gold Glove, MLB announced today:
A's third baseman Eric Chavez is the first to admit he had a disappointing season at the plate, having struggled through an injury-marred season on the way to a career-worst .241 batting average.

Yet his work at the hot corner once again was unparalleled in the American League, and on Thursday it was recognized by way of his sixth consecutive Gold Glove Award.


In other A's news, they've struck a new radio deal for next season. They're dropping conservative talk-radio KNTS 1220 AM and adding KIFR 106.9 FM:
Bay Area fans frustrated by their inability to consistently receive a strong signal for A's radio broadcasts in 2006 should have no such problems in 2007.

The A's and 106.9-FREE FM (KIFR) on Monday announced that they've agreed to terms on a three-year contract for the San Francisco-based, CBS-owned station to serve as the club's FM radio flagship through the 2009 season.

I'm glad I won't have to listen to Michael Medved promos between innings any more.
