A huge TGIF shout-out to all of my Worker Bee friends out there in the employment wilderness, at their desks, in their cubicles, taking lunch orders etc. etc. etc.
Guys and gals - Billi Pod knows that you are tired and looking forward to the weekend so you can, among other things: do your errands, do the laundry, go grocery shopping, mow the lawn, take the kids to soccer practice, wash the car and do the myriad of other things and chores that are part of your Worker Bee bland weekend lifestyle ... but ... remember ... none of this can start until AT LEAST 5:05pm.
Remember, too, it can even start later if your boss(es) feel it is necessary for you to put in some overtime. Remember, also, that you have no control over your employment environment since it was thus structured eons and eons ago.
Remember==>you are, and will always be, a Worker Bee, so just live with it. Actually, you have no choice but to live with it, so just move on ... OK?
Anyway ... it is bright, sunny and cold in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World==>34ยบ at 8:00am.
Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s THE ATMOSPHERE OF MEMORY==>B.
This “dark” comedy about yet another mega-dysfunctional family is saved from mediocrity by a stellar cast headed by Ellen Burstyn.
Parts of the show are very funny although mostly it is in-your-face profane.
Billi Pod found himself liking the show a lot in the beginning but he later found the intense shouting, screaming and yelling in Act II to be a major downer. It could also be cut by at least 15 minutes.
Having said this, it is still worth seeing for Ellen Burstyn alone. It closes on Sunday.
Billi Pod’s entertainment event for tonight is ...
8:00==>NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA @ Avery Fisher Hall - “Haydn: Symphony No. 96, Miracle; and, Bruckner: Symphony No. 7”
I am seeing this with a comp. ticket so I have no idea where the seat will be, but no matter because the important thing is ... I will be there for free. Yeah!!
Moving on ...
I have to admit, as pointed out by some recent emails, that I have been somewhat remiss in sharing with you loyal and faithful readers out there in vastness of cyberspace the results of Billi Pod’s continuing internet research. My bad!!
So how about this ... are you interested in knowing the loudest college football stadiums? Of course you are and they are listed at
For your instant edification the top 5 are:
1. Tiger Stadium, LSU==>“When your crowd registers on a seismograph, you come in at No. 1 on the list. LSU, the other Death Valley, is the most frightening place for a team to play, especially if your are unfortunate enough to be schedule for a night game. The stadium holds over 92,000 screaming fans and is a guaranteed sellout no matter who LSU is playing that week.”
2. Autzen Stadium, Oregon
3. Beaver Stadium, Penn State
4. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Florida==>“While some people may say that it feels like the fans are right on top of you, at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, they practically are. Only feet from the sidelines, Gator fans have helped turn "The Swamp" into one of the most intimidating places to play. Opposing teams know that when these 92,000 fans get worked up and start doing the gator chomp that they are in trouble.”
And, in the name of fair and unbiased reporting ...
15. Doak Campbell Stadium, Florida State==>What do you get when you combine great tailgating, a good party town and one of the better programs in the ACC? You get 83,000 fans packing the stands of Doak Campbell Stadium to cheer on the Seminoles.”
And finally, in closing, as you will remember ...
In my blog on Wednesday I said the following about Tim Tebow --
“Isn’t it ironic that somehow the Denver Broncos are winning with Timmy Tebow as their starting Quarterback even though his ‘stats” and ‘style’ aren’t up to ‘NFL standards?’”
“Eventually the League and the press are gonna learn that Tim Tebow is a winner, who finds a way to lead his team to victory, in any way he can.”
Well, he found a way last night, leading the Broncos to a win over the Jets with a 95 yard 4th quarter drive that ended with his game-winning 20 yard TD run, with 58 seconds remaining.
To say that the local media is stunned is an understatement. They are loathe to admit that it was Timmy who beat the Jets. Their spin is that the Jets basically beat themselves, although they admit to being “surprised” by Tebow.
Well you neigh-sayers - there are a LOT more “surprises” coming, trust me on this.
WAY TO GO TIMMY!!
