#26 Pumpkin flavoring. What is up with all of this pumpkin flavoring? It's everywhere. Coffee, doughnuts, bagels, muffins, bread, ice cream, enough already. Pumpkins are disgusting. Nobody actually eats pumpkins. Even the pumpkin pie filling is mostly squash, not pumpkin. And what's with the "limited time" nonsense? It's not like you're using actual pumpkins. If the flavor is so popular, why not offer it year round? Is artificial pumpkin flavoring seasonal? I stopped for a muffin the other morning and the only option they had left was pumpkin. Why? Because it sucks!
#27 The St. Louis Rams. After working with police for a week to ensure that protesters in St. Louis wouldn't disrupt Sunday's Rams/Raiders game or interfere with their fans, a handful of Rams players decided to thank the police by coming out of the tunnel with their hands in the air in the "Don't shoot" position. Really classy! If ignorance is bliss, these guys must be downright euphoric. They were, of course, showing solidarity with those protesting the Ferguson Grand Jury's decision not to indict Darren Wilson on the new charge of "being a white police officer doing his job". Needless to say, the St. Louis police were not amused. They called on the NFL to discipline the players. That's not going to happen, because, unlike the NBA, the NFL claims to support freedom of speech. Yes, that was a Donald Sterling reference. Deal with it.
#28 Over-Hyping Everything. For the past week, here in Syracuse, all the buzz was about a "Major Concert Announcement" at the Carrier Dome. It was in the paper, on both radio and TV news, blanketing social media; a "Major" concert announcement. They held a press conference. Everyone was there waiting, panting, breathless. Guess what! Billy Joel is coming in March, for the 7th time! Seriously? In other news...The 80's called, they want their excitement back.
