But now, 10 1/2 years after his retirement from baseball, The Terminator was recently arrested for allegedly robbing a jewelry store. He made $11.5 million in his career, and robbed the store of $170. Err...WHAT?
What do I have to do to sell you this gold watch today?
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. But of course, part of this story is quite sad. His son, Shane, died of a drug overdose last year. And for that, he was on antidepressant medication, on top of the heart medicine he was already taking. His lawyer is blaming the robbery on these medicines. Because, you know, that's a big problem with antidepressants. I saw it on the label one time. "Side effects may include drowsiness, watery eyes, and robbing." And hey, after the trial, I smell big endorsement dollars for Jeff on the pharmaceutical circuit.
In any case, I hope this ends all right for The Terminator. From the news stories, he doesn't seem like a bad guy - just a little crazy. And judging by that wild animal on his head, wouldn't he have to be? Just kidding. Kind of.

Just for future reference, you can comment directly on the post you wish to comment on, if you want. But I'm sure you knew that, seeing as how you grew up with television and other technology. All I can say is, at least I know how to raise me a barn.
I agree in general that poppy Xmas songs suck, but you MUST give it up to the Mariah Carey version of "O Holy Night." Say what you want about her (and I don't particularly like her myself, at all) but she can sing like none other, and she absolutely crushes that song.
Yeah, I'm a Peanuts hater. I think I'd fit right in with, you know, the Peanuts gang. If the Peanuts gang was running up to me to kick the football, I'd definitely pull it away at the last second.
