    Ladies & Gentlemen, Your Mensch Of The Week
    2008-04-07 07:41:00
    Every now and then, someone from Rickey’s walks of life does something so inspiring and flat out nifty that we feel downright compelled to include them in our periodically published “Mensch of the Week” column. Today is one such day and your aforementioned mensch is a coworker of Rickey’s named Fletcher. What did this fellow do to earn such a highly prestigious (read: inconsequential) honor? Well, friend, we’ll tell you: he will be singing the National Anthem at Shea Stadium with his barbershop quartet sometime this season. Let’s repeat that: a buddy of Rickey’s named Fletch (best name ever) is in a barbershop quartet (best form of music group ever) and will be singing the National Anthem at a Mets (best baseball team ever) home game in 2008. The guy auditioned at Shea last week and the officials there most likely thought something along the lines of “screw all these American Idol wannabes, we’re going with the goddamned barbershop quartet!” and wisely chose his bar...

    Ladies & Gentlemen, Your 2008 Shea Stadium Promotional Games
    2008-02-27 06:42:00
    Rickey was elated to see that his 2008 Mets Ticket Pack arrived in the mail while he was in Florida this past weekend. We use the term “his” rather loosely, because the tickets were in fact a Christmas gift for Papa Henderson (but Rickey is giving serious consideration to being a schmuck about it and just keeping ‘em for himself). And Rickey was pleased to notice that several of the games Rickey’s pop will be attending are promotional nights at Shea Stadium! So let’s take a look at some of the exciting promotional games the Mets are running this season, shall we? Because as silly (and downright fictional) as some of these promotions are, rest assured they can never be as atrocious as the train wreck that was the 1999 Mercury Mets. Ugh. Rickey remembers all too well. Rickey was there for christsakes…Interfaith Appreciation Night. Join the Mets in April as all-stars Ryan Church and Angel Pagan star in a thrilling rendition of “Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat” after ...

    Gentlemen, guys actually do Yoga.
    2008-02-10 21:12:00
    Let's face it, at its first mention; Yoga might not come off as the most masculine exercise. But that's just it-at its first mention. When you delve deeper into it, you will realize nothing could be further from the truth. More males are discovering this and consequently more American men are now flocking to the yoga mats where once, it seemed, only women dared to tread. However the irony is in India where it originated, it wasn't until recently that women were even allowed to practice yoga-that with restrictions still applied at times. Men now make up 25 percent of America's 17 million enthusiasts and this figure is increasing steadily. Perhaps it may be because several successful men in various walks of life attest to Yoga's efficiency and openly advocate its practice. Take Hip-Hop entrepreneur, Russell Simmons for example, when I read he practiced Yoga (just like Sting, Quincy Jones and Woody Harrelson), it further increased my belief that in no time perhaps NOT practicing Yoga will...

    Thanks to the likes of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, gentlemen don't prefer blondes anymore, and cattlemen like them dumb and docile
    2007-10-22 17:34:00
    "I get to go to lots of overseas places, like Canada" -- Britney SpearsBlame Britney, Paris Hilton and David Miller.Blondes are the new pariahs. The misfits of society.The big Sun Media sex survey this week has them trailing brunettes and even black-tops in sex appeal.Even more shocking, Men's Health magazine tells me 75% of men would rather wake up with a brunette than with a blond."Good grief," says the blond with whom I usually wake up. "Do something about this. Write something."So I start with ontario-blondes.com. Strawberry blond Sheila McNevan is the director.I reach her at home near Peterborough.Say, Sheila, how many blondes in Ontario?"Oh, about 10,000."That's all? Maybe the surveys are right.What's new with blondes, Sheila?"Well, we had our big Cream of the Crop sale last Saturday at Hoard's Station near Campbellford."A sale? That's weird. You people sell blondes?!"Just your better blondes. Not your lower end ones."I wish I'd known. What makes a top blond?"They're very lean. And blondes are known for their docility. Nice and quiet and easy to handle."Not in my experience. Anyway, how many blondes did they sell on Saturday?"About 100 of them. Best price was about $3,500."That's a bargain. Maybe Paris Hilton has brought the price down.So, what does one look for when buying a blond?"Well, the men usually talk about nice legs, good hips, a good back so they don't slouch."And the udder of course."The what?"The udder. She has to have a strong udder."Holy cow, Sheila. I'm finally catching on. Like a blond with half a brain. (What do you call her? Gifted.) Is it true that blondes are dumb?"No more than any other cow," she says. "We have about 400 head on our farm, all different breeds."Limousin, Jersey, Angus."The blondes are the most fun."Official name is Blonde d'Aquitaine, a beef breed brought here from France in 1971. The Ontario association's slogan is "Cattlemen Prefer Blondes."Seriously, back to our survey. I call Johnny Cupello, hairdresser to t...

    Something to take away from these talksTuesday 18 September was pretty busy. In the morning I made some changes to the 'Twelve Tips for Terrified Speakers!' leaflet that I give out free at all my speaking engagements by adding that additional tips can now be found at this website/blog and also updating the details of my speechwriting and presentation skills training services and the ever-growing list of my talks.This leaflet started out as 'Ten Tips...!' in 2002 but I expanded it when I was booked to give a presentation for the Central Management Unit of the Home Office three years later. I have given out  thousands of copies, not just at talks which are specifically about public speaking skills but everywhere I am booked, whatever my subject. Of course, it does contain the aforementioned advertising and contact details as well but the important thing is that it gives people useful free advice - any resulting bookings to write speeches, coach speakers or give further talks are...

    Ladies and Gentlemen, il Cheese Rolling
    2007-09-04 09:34:00
    Il rugby? Uno sport da checche.Il pugilato? Bah, da damerini.Ma il Cheese Rolling è da veri duri.Un manipolo di scoppiati sulla vetta del dirupo di Cooper Hill (a Gloucester in Gran Bretagna, con una pendenza mostruosa) attende che la forma di cacio venga lasciata rotolare. Dopodichè tutti dietro al formaggio correndo, ribaltandosi, distruggendosi (poche ma chiare regole, insomma).L' ambito latticino è una forma da 5 chili di Double Gloucester Cheese, prodotto tipico locale realizzato con latte crudo semistagionato.Lo sport, di recente invenzione, si è diffuso in pochissimo tempo anche qua da noi, con l' annuale gara a San Valentino, nel sud del Trentino.Gustatevi un dettagliato reportage...E ora tenetevi forte che... IL VIDEO E' DA URLOTutto lo si deve al bacucco ubriaco qui in foto, il guru, detto CheeseMaster.Ah, il premio per il vincitore? Quella cacchio di fetta di cacio, ovviamente......

    Ladies and Gentlemen, August 16, 2007 marks the 30th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley. I do not mention it much in this blog, but I am a big Elvis fan. I might not be one of the people descending on Memphis for the festivities this week. I own very little Elvis memorabilia. I am very difficult to engage in a debate on Fat Elvis vs. Skinny Elvis. But nonetheless, I am an Elvis fan.I love his music, especially songs that never topped the charts but still showcased his incredible talent. My favorite song of his is his version of Gentle On My Mind. I think the Memphis sessions from 1969 are one of the most underrated in Rock and Roll History. The same session produced In the Ghetto, Suspicious Minds, Don't Cry Daddy and a number of songs that you might have to get up at 8 on Sunday morning to hear on Oldies 103's Elvis Only hour like Long Black Limousine, True Love Travels on a Gravel Road, Only the Strong Survive, Gentle on my Mind, Inherit the Wind and more.When people tell me...

    Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight as I watched portions of the Red Sox game against the Blue Jays, I couldn't help but hear Jerry Remy talking about his status as lame-duck president of Red Sox Nation. Apparently, there is an election which will be held to fill that void. And what would an election be without a dissenting voice?I say some concerned citizen of Red Sox Nation should nominate me. I can't nominate myself because that's just pathetic. But I could elevate the discourse in this election. I could be like Lyndon LaRouche, but sane. Or Ross Perot, but taller, bigger and with proportionately sized ears. I could bring a lot to the table, trust me. Hell, I've only horrifically insulted one of the New England states, Cambridge and Brookline in the last week. The only drawback I see is that I'm not currently a citizen of Red Sox Nation, but I have some clever people working with me who can figure out a way for me to be a citizen of RSN without divulging my secret identity. I do thin...

    2007-07-09 04:50:00
    Ladies and Gentlemen, this was a very good weekend. With a family wedding, bachelor party and a golf match I haven't spent much time sober over the last several day, hence the lack of posts. God knows, the times I have posted while intoxicated haven't worked out for me. I'm rambling, incoherent and hostile and it kills my traffic. But I predicted that the Red Sox would have a lot of trouble handling the Detroit Tigers should they meet in the postseason. I believe that the Tigers have better pitching and a deeper offense. And there's always Gary Sheffield who seems to take a personal interest in seeing the Red Sox suffer. It was nice to see them sweep the BoSox this weekend, or at least to know that they swept the Sox since I missed the games Saturday and Sunday.I think this picture of our dear friend Jonathan Papelbon proving himself a better match for an inanimate object like the water cooler than he was for the Tigers lineup sums up the weekend. It will probably sum up the season...

    2007-06-08 01:35:00
    Ladies and Gentlemen, I am not here tonight to say too much about my disappointment that Humpty Dumpty needed very little help from all the king's horses and all the king's men to prevail over the As today. I am still happy enough that the Sox lost four straight. I must ask, with apologies to Bob Lobel, why can't the Red Sox get players like Lenny DiNardo? And thanks to Gordon Edes for breaking the story that Daisuke Matsuzaka probably won't be an all star this season. What tipped you off to this Gordo? The ERA over 4.5? Losing a game to a guy the Sox cut to bring in JD Drew? What next? Will he break the story that water is wet or that what goes up must come down?Tonight's post is about a heartless Fortune 500 corporation ruthlessly victimizing its patrons. The corporation is Best Buy and the victim in this sordid little mess is yours truly. It was a simple little matter, the attempt to purchase a DVD from a Big Box electronics retailer. All I had to do was pick it up from the she...

    Ecco a voi la "targhetta" delle meraviglie: Non sanno quando sono nati, (il 9 e non l'8). E poi: 100 anni nerazzuro?? Magari 100 anni nerazzurri, o magari centenario nerazzurro! In attesa che anche in via Durini si impari l'italiano, verranno messe sul mercato le maglie "corrette". Vabè che siete una costola, ma almeno la data in cui vi abbiamo generato.....
