2010 Playoff Beards
One of the best things about playoff hockey is the infamous Playoff Beard. Often duplicated by other sports, it is never truly replicated. In honor of the Stanley Cup Finals beginning on Saturday, here are our Top 5 Playoff Beards for 2010. Only the Finalists, the Philadelphia Flyers and the Chicago Blackhawks are eligible. You'll notice that it's mainly Flyers, for two reasons. One, I'm a huge Flyers fan. Two, let's face it, they have the better beards.

Westerns and Their Mustaches
A great western is hard to beat. Action, drama, fantastic actors, wonderful costumes, elegant set pieces and beautiful scenic locations... they've got it all. Oh, and they've usually got some great mustaches.
There is no better movie for mustaches than Tombstone.

The Joy of Flying
I just flew over the weekend, and it was a fine experience, as it usually is. But it's not always. Here's 5 great annoyances of flying.
1. The non-English speaking couple with at least 7 pieces of over-sized luggage and/or boxes who take 20 minutes at the self check-in kiosk and ultimately need to go in line and see an agent anyway, wasting everyone's time.
2. That whenever you really need to be on the flight you're booked on, that's when they ask anyone if they'd like to catch the next flight in exchange for a free ticket; but when you've got all kinds of time, they're never overbooked.
3. Philadelphia International and Boston Logan's baggage handling. One time I flew from Philly to Atlanta and scheduled at the same game at the same time was a flight to Richmond, VA, which of course is impossible. I made it to Atlanta just fine, predictably my bags enjoyed a nice trip to Virginia. This isn't out of the ordinary in Philly. Then there was the time in Boston where an entire wing of baggage claim was filled with luggage. There must have been a thousand pieces, it was like a Samsonite showcase. Not surprisingly, they lost my bag too. I didn't feel guilty telling them it would have to be driven to New Hampshire. By 5pm. Because I gave them my work address.
4. The guy who clearly hasn't flown since at least 2001 and so he has no idea that he needs to take his shoes and belt off, let alone take his laptop out of it's case. So now the fast moving security line you got in comes to a screeching halt because Grandpa Simpson hasn't been on an airplane since Braniff Airlines was in existence. You half expect his wife to have a dozen bottles of 32 ounces of liquid and complain that they have to be disposed of.
5. That not every landing is an awesome roller coaster like this is:
That's no accident, that's the way they had to land the planes everytime.

Annoying Songs
We've been off for a while, but we're back with a long(ish) list. It's our Top 5 Most Annoying Songs, ones that make you want to just hurt the people who wrote them, although some of these people seem to enjoy pain, or the publicity. A couple of guest stars today, Marc and Jeff.
