There are definitely days when it's easier to Eeyore. There are days where one looks at the dark side of things and wonders if there even is such a thing as a good morning. However Cheers and Jeers is striving to find happy things to cheer about like honey or balloons or spelling "Tuesday". As old Pooh Beer once said “It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?" Already I have copied Pooh's spelling technique: "My spelling is Wobbly. It's good spelling, but it Wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places." Yes my grammar and spellings resembles a bear stuffed with cotton but that’s ok, because today I'm staying positive.

Cheers: To another bizarre loss for the Cleveland Browns. First there was LeCharles Bentley, who went down with a season ending knee injury without being touched. Now the new Brown's center, Bob Hallen, has retired due "chronic back problems". This is fairly odd because there is not one shred of evidence he ever had any sort of back problem before joining the Browns. Now why in the world is this cause for cheering? Well from a Browns perspective its not. But I think this jinx can be used for good. I firmly believe that if we select a few Middle Eastern leaders and have them join the Browns, they will immediately blow out a knee or retire without cause. Terrorism is a lot harder without an ACL.

Cheers: To this bit of news. For too long the glandularly challenged have not gotten the respect in the criminal world they deserve. Well five well endowed girls decided to take into their own, albeit flabby, hands to change this stereotype. Well done girls.

Cheers: To Team USA. Coach K has got the Americans back to solid basketball at the international level. While the US still has major hurdles to overcome if it's to win the World Basketball Championship being held in Japan. Manu Ginobelli has declared that the age of US dominance is "part of the past". Well then there can be only one goal for this US team….find Argentina and heat up some Lipton's Instant Cup of Shut the Hell Up. (For the record I think Argentina is located somewhere near a country called Randall McNally)

Cheers: To Freshmen. Those lovable innocent college first years that typically end up making mistake after mistake in classes, in hook-ups, in drinking and in eating cheese sticks at 3 am (who knew that would add weight). However watching a college football freshmen mature over the season is one the more enjoyable sights of the season. Freshmen take over at the quarterback position at Texas and Georgia. How those powerhouses progress will be in large part determined by how their freshman QB's do. Also a factor is the extent to which Matthew McConaughey and Ben Affleck are able to paddle them.

Cheers: To Muppet Porn. Or I think that’s what's going on in England. You read the Yahoo News bit. I'll I'm seeing is "Adults Only" and "half dozen hot dogs and Ricky Martin". I bet you its really funny though…
