 Pictured: a photo I like from today's ESPN.com photo gallery.And speaking of pictures, this is rather interesting. Photos from within the plane during the shoe-explosives incident. Friday, December 28, 2001
Best of the Sports Guy Ramblings from 2001.
"Is it safe to say that no player in NFL history will sell fewer replica jerseys than Browns running back Ben Gay?" Thursday, December 27, 2001
Speaking of online games, here's CNN's list of the best online games [via Fark]. I'm glad to see "Gears" in there, but I don't see why people like "Bejeweled" so much. I haven't played any of the others, except Yahoo card games... I tend to like my online games simple and puzzle-based. If I want graphics and action-heavy games I'll turn to the X-Box..
Boggler. Nice and simple; just like Boggle, plus it has other variations, and compares your scores to other people's.
That site also has a crossword clue game, and you can compare your scores with others. They also have some cool word tools like anagrams, Scrabble helper, cryptograms, etc. -Word Boy Tuesday, December 25, 2001
Merry Christmas!
 Not much to report... a typical relaxing Christmas Day at the Enlows'. Wake up, get through what's left of our presents, have a nice breakfast, lounge around. Today our grandparents came over for Christmas dinner and more lounging around, so that was nice. I had a great time listening to Grandpa tell his war stories. I hadn't heard any of them before, but lately we've been talking about Band of Brothers and all the books he has on the topic. Yesterday I gave him a Time-Life book called "World War II in Pictures" or something like that. Very neat. Just this summer I saw his Purple Heart for the first time, very cool. So today I finally asked him to tell the story about how he was wounded, so he did. Long story short, he was hit by shrapnel from some German artillery while he was dug into the side of a hill and surrounded on both sides by Germans. It sounded like a cool story, but he was more humble and eager to tell the story of his first hospitalization: when he accidentally stabbed himself cutting up a chocolate bar. But the cool part about that story is that General Patton himself came to the hospital and went around to the injured men. He asked Grandpa "What outfit?" And then "What happened?" Grandpa said "Accidentally stabbed myself SIR!" And Patton let loose a profanity-filled tirade, then walked away and muttered "Next time, stick a German!"So Grandpa lent me the VHS movie "Patton"... but it's coming up soon in our Netflix queue so I'll probably wait a little bit to watch it on DVD. Imagine, getting yelled at by Patton! Work tomorrow! Calloo-callay! (Who can tell me where that little phrase came from? And no, Mr. Burns was not the original source.) Monday, December 24, 2001
My friend Nathan contributes to a blog with some of my friends from college, and I'd like to share his holiday message with the world:
Have you people heard that "Christmas" song on the radio about a little boy going to buy new shoes for his mom who is going to die from cancer. Boy that song sure puts me into the Christmas spirit. JOY to the world my mom has a tumor and is going to die of cancer... Hey everyone gather around the piano.. let's sing that great holiday favorite Mom is going to die so I am going to buy her new shoes so she looks pretty when she meets Jesus... ready one, and a two, and a three.... Other Christmas favorites: 1. Mommy why is the puppy not barking 2. Wake up Grandpa its Christmas morn!... Grandpa... Grandpa... Oh GOD NOOOOOOOO 3. Hey Hey the house burned down no Christmas for us... to the shelter we go ho ho ho. 4. I saw mommy F-ing Santa Claus and then I saw Daddy shoot Santa in the head point blank. N.B.: The views expressed by Nathan do not reflect the views of me. But they make me laugh until eggnog comes out my nose. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas (Eve), everyone.
I've been enjoying my long weekend here at home with the fam. I just wish I could call it a "vacation" like everyone else, but unfortunately I go back to work on Wednesday. (Is the day after Christmas called Christmas Adam?). Anyway, I wish we had some snow instead of this rain, but it's nice to have bro and sis in the house and the Christmas music playing, and Mom showering us with all kinds of delicious goodies because we're not around much. I also brought the cats home, and they're loving the largeness and probably the cleanliness of the house. They also love all the attention. You know, "Who's a boo?" and Mom calling them her grandchildren. I'd remind her that I didn't actually give birth to them, but this way we get fewer "when are you going to give me grandchildren" hints. So the cats are having a great time exploring, especially Lucky, who spent last night wandering around inside the walls of the house. Mom woke up to meowing, and Matt and I had to take out some lights in the basement in order to retrieve him from the ceiling. Today I take Dad to the airport (going to visit his 'rents in Orlando for the holidays), then to Mom's 'rents for Christmas Eve dinner and some gift-exchanging. Tomorrow morning we do any remaining gifts, and watch Katie go through her stocking. Apparently we made a deal with Santa that when you're done with college you are officially at the "too old for stockings" age. Matt and I don't mind because eventually Santa just gave up on being creative and gave us toiletries, batteries and blank tapes every year. And then on Christmas Adam I go back to work! Shweeet... P.S. Saw the Fellowship of the Ring and Vanilla Sky so far this weekend, and I recommend them both. Very glad I didn't know anything about V-Sky before entering the theater. P.P.S. Time Magazine put the Strokes at #1 in their "Best of 2001" music list. They basically say they're a bunch of copycats (which some of my friends have been trying to tell me), but that they perfected the style, or something like that. One is definitely reminded of the Velvet Underground and the Ramones, but why is that a bad thing? You still have to be pretty creative to come up with so many great riffs and melodies. And it's refreshing to hear new pop music in an old style. I tire very quickly of boy band or girl diva drivel, or cheesy R&B ballads, or uncreative "DJ So-and-So featuring MC What's-his face" rappers. Don't get me wrong, there are many exceptions, but making generalizations is fun. Friday, December 21, 2001
Here's a cool stick-figure karate action game: "The Way of the Exploding Stick". TIP: You'll do a lot better if you only press "V" (throwing) instead of punching and kicking. In my case, "better" means 3000 points instead of 400.
Not a day goes by without someone visiting my site looking for pictures of a liger. I guess the competition is pretty weak.
P.S. That picture was from a post I wrote on September 6. Life before 9/11... weird to think about.
I will continue to update my site, temporarily ignoring the fact that it is down and has been down for many many hours. Take that NetIdentity.com! I am unfazed!
Kobe hurdles some fans. This can't end well for everyone involved.
More Sox busy-ness... Nomo went to the Dodgers and Johnny Damon will soon be a Red Sock, but the biggest news is that the Sox have been sold to a group of rich people headed by John Henry, owner of the Florida Marlins. $700 million. The previous record for price of a franchise was $323 million, set last year when some guy bought the Cleveland Indians. I mean Native Americans. Or is it American Indians now?
Cool, John Henry is described as a "math junkie". Why would they mention that? And isn't he primarily known as a steel-drivin' man? Thursday, December 20, 2001
A couple weeks ago I showed you a picture of Afghans playing buzkashi, a traditional game where you haul a headless goat carcass around. Here's a more recent picture of an American soldier getting in on the fun.
"To many Afghans, buzkashi is not just a game, it is a way of life. It is a game in which teamwork and communication are essential to being successful." Ohhh, we shouldn't laugh... that's ethnocentrism. See over there, they have games that require teamwork and communication for success. If only we had such games! But seriously, why does it have to be a headless goat carcass? Tradition, probably. But wouldn't something like a big sack of flour or a wet sleeping bag be of comparable heft, and a little more sanitary? Or, how about a fake headless goat carcass made of wool and sticks and filled with sand? Even an intact goat carcass would be more sanitary. I'm so closed-minded.
Lots of action on the Red Sox roster lately. The newest addition: second baseman Pokey Reese. He can steal bases and has won two Gold Gloves.
GONE AND FORGOTTEN: Carl Everett, Scott Hatteberg, Troy O'Leary, John Valentin, Bret Saberhagen, Mike Lansing. NEW FACES: P John Burkett, P Darren Oliver, P Dustin Hermanson, 2B Pokey Reese, 1B Tony Clark, OF Michael Coleman. Next stop: outfielder Johnny Damon. Last year my Dad went to a Sox - A's game and had good seats near the visitors' dugout. During batting practice he yelled at Johnny Damon "Hey Johnny! You're embarrassing my fantasy team!" Johnny laughed and replied "I'm embarrassing myself." (Background info: Damon is good, but had a bit of a slump last year. He would be a welcome addition to the Sox.) Tuesday, December 18, 2001
Dear Diary, I finally decided to try Blogsnob per Matth's recommendation. It puts a little personal website advertisement on the left navigator there (under "Enlowspeak"), that changes with each refresh. And for each ad that is shown on my site, my ad runs on another site somewhere. Or something like that. So if you're bored by my site, click on that one, you JERK!
I know, I know, "you sellout..." or "it used to be about the music, man..." or "I don't even know who you are anymore..." What can I say, I'm a glutton for web traffic. As my friend Nathan would say, "PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!!" Say that reminds me, I've had a link that says "Clix" on the bottom of all my links for some time now. I think that tracks how much people click on that link, and how many people click on my site from their site, and ranks me accordingly. It seems a little sleazier than Blogsnob (people know what sells), but if you want to see what it's all about then give me a shout-out. Blogger of the Year, 2002, here I come...

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was good. Friday night my frisbee team had a holiday party, during which we had one of those Yankee Swap things. I made out pretty well, coming away with my gift of choice: a well-done 2002 calendar featuring action photos of the team during the past season. And I made out well on the giving end too... I spent nothing, yet my gift was a popular one. Well, not popular in the sense that people wanted it, more like popular in the sense that it was funny. It was this Huskers shirt I found on the ground of our campsite in July.
Saturday was my company's holiday party. Good times... especially the part when the boss surprised us all with Christmas bonuses. Then I went to another holiday party at some old high school friends' place. Wasn't there for too long, but at least I got to see some old friends and acquaintances.  Sunday I decided to get more controllers for the X-Box, rationalized by (1) my Christmas bonus, (2) the fact that I didn't pitch in for the X-Box. So when we weren't watching the Pats eke out another victory, we were killing each other in Halo. Fortunately Thom and poker buddy Rich were available to come over and get blown to pieces by Alan, Bill and myself. Thanks guys! And what they say about time flying in conjunction with fun is very very true.P.S. Did anyone see sports highlights Friday night? Some guy won a million dollars at a basketball game by hitting a half-court shot. He ran a circle around the court, then headed straight for the mascot and tackled it, sending both of them flying into the seats. It was hilarious. Friday, December 14, 2001
My phone broke some time last weekend. My voicemail works, but I can't make or receive calls. Since making and receiving calls were some of the features which attracted me to having a cell phone, I decided today to do something about it. The lady at the Cingular booth at the mall suggested I upgrade my phone. That made sense to me because it was a couple years old and I wanted to see what other phone options were out there. So she said I could switch to the same model of phone for $10, or go with the Nokia 5165 model for $50. She said "that one's smaller, and it comes in blue." I don't really care what color the phone is, but smaller did appeal to me. I asked if it vibrated, because that's handy (make joke now), and she said yes. So I got that one, and she set me up and I went on my way. She said she "transferred everything from the old phone to the new phone." Weird thing is, she only charged me $8, which was sales tax. Huh. Upon returning to my office I found that (1) the two phones are exactly the same size, (2) Vibrating is not an option, (3) My phone book was not copied over. So basically I have the same exact phone, only blue, and without all my phone numbers, and in working order. Now I don't usually complain about anything, even the complain-worthy, but this made me almost go back to the booth. But then I realized that I was fine with this phone. And I only spent $8. And after all, it's BLUE! I should count my blessings. Before they're hatched.
 I saw the "What's Goin' On" all-star tribute video again the other day. Still fun to watch, still pleasing to the ears too. But this time I noticed the two split-seconds where they showed who was doing the drumming... and immediately recognized the giant afro. It's ?uestlove of the Roots! And yes, that's spelled with a question mark. Dat's okay cuz dat boy's good.Say that reminds me, can I change my name to Łuke? Say that reminds me, nobody mentioned the source of "Say that reminds me" from a few posts ago. Coincidentally, I saw the guy who said the quote guest-starring on Friends last night. He played Glen in Raising Arizona, and he would always say "Say that reminds me" when he wanted to tell a joke, even though it was completely non-sequitur. I'd say that guy, Sam McMurray, definitely qualifies as a "That Guy", now that I'm looking at his resume on IMDB. He even was on the Simpsons, providing the voice of "Workman #1" in the episode entitled "Homer's Odyssey", and "Gulliver Dark" in the episode "Homer's Night Out" (both from 1989, the first full season).
Three more MOVIE TITLE king-graph puzzles... probably not too tough though: Directions

"Act quickly and you'll also get the brand-new video from NBA Entertainment, 'Greatest Player Reactions During the NBA Dunk Contest' -- featuring NBA stars like Dikembe Mutombo, Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett, Jalen Rose and Shaquille O'Neal -- as they watch the Dunk Contest while alternately falling backwards, opening their mouth as wide as possible in apparent shock, slapping the floor, standing up and screaming, and falling onto the lap of the person sitting next to them.

Of all the humorous things that happened to me during college, most of them I cannot share. So I racked my brain for an amusing anecdote I could share with family, friends and strangers alike, and after many hours I came up with something.
 It was Halloween night 1997, and I was with Nathan, Becka and Lisa at the soccer game. (Division III National Champions baby!) I don't remember who we were playing but we won. (There was only one game the lads didn't win that year, and it was a tie with Hope on my 21st birthday.) At any rate, after the game we headed over to the annual talent show, where Lisa would shortly be entertaining us as co-emcee. So as we were walking down the street, ahead of us we saw a limo approaching, with someone standing up through the sunroof. Nathan yelled "Hey it's Darth Vader!!" Sure enough, Anakin Skywalker stood atop the Vader-mobile, pointing right at us. Nathan then yelled to him as he approached "THROW US SOME CANDY!!!!!!" And Lord Vader picked up a giant water balloon and hucked it at Nathan. It hit him right in the chest, thoroughly soaking him through his sweater. I immediately fell to the ground laughing. It's funny because Nathan thought he was getting some candy.Oh, I just remembered another time I fell to the ground laughing. Probably one of the only times that it wasn't Nathan-induced. I think a group of us were headed from the dining hall either back to the dorm or to the gym for a basketball game, and we were carrying on a conversation about something or other. One guy, S. Matlak.... no that's too obvious; Steve M., he was looking to the side while talking, and he walked smack into a light post. Textbook slapstick.... down I went. You just don't see that in real life enough.  The Sox got rid of Crazy Carl. Shipped him off to the Rangers for starter Darren Oliver. Not quite equal skill-wise, but word on the street is that Darren Oliver is sane. So he's got that going for him, which is nice.A few good pictures in ESPN.com's photo gallery today. I like this one because the dude's about to break his neck. I just like these two because I like a good soccer action photo. (Say that reminds me, who's psyched for the World Cup?) (Say that reminds me, who can tell me what movie inspires me to keep saying "Say that reminds me"?) Pictured: US Olympic Curling Team Trials. Today's discussion topic: What exactly is CURLING? Ice shuffleboard? Wednesday, December 12, 2001
My Dad called to submit a puzzle: his is the first one, mine is the second one. Still both MOVIE TITLES.

Well my king-graphing puzzles went quickly... but I vow to stump people for at least 12 hours. Maybe not this time, but it helps that most of the east coast will be sleeping during most of these next 12 hours. And I think this one might be tough.
Once again the category is MOVIE TITLE. Go back three posts for directions.
 I remembered something funny I learned on Thanksgiving day with the family. This will only mean something to those of you from New England... actually, it's probably just the greater Boston area, come to think of it. But anyway, here's my big news: I KNOW THE GUY WHO WROTE AND PERFORMED THE BERNIE AND PHYL'S JINGLE! You know what I'm talking about: "Bernie and Phyl's... quality, comfort and price! That's nice." For the unfortunate souls who don't know what I'm talking about, Bernie and Phyl's is a local furniture chain that consistently turns out super-cheesy homemade commercials... great jingle though. The guy who did it plays guitar and sings in my uncle Tom's band. His name's Arthur. (That's not him in the picture with B and P.) At any rate, I know what song to request next time they got a gig.In a related story, there was a time that my company's graphics department consisted only of two guys, named Bernie and Phil. Coincidence? I think so.
Wow, I'm listening to NME radio, and some DJ made a song of C-Ag's "Genie in a Bottle" vocals over the music for the Strokes' "Hard to Explain". Make it stop.
Brain teasers are fun. I like to put good ones on my site. Does anybody have any? Feel free to e-mail me or comment.
Since I'm fresh out of clever brain teasers, I decided to make my own. Whether it is at all clever or does any teasing remains to be determined, but at least this is something that I can do often if it works out OK. Several months ago I introduced a diversion called "king-graphing". This is something that would keep me awake in many a computer science class back in the day. I challenged my vast audience to create their own king-graphs based on zodiac signs and presidents, U.S. states and Great Lakes, and months of the year. The response was less than overwhelming. So now I thought I'd make my own graphs, and let y'all figure out what is hidden therein. Directions: Start a letter and move through the grid one letter at a time horizontally, vertically or diagonally (like a chess king would, hence the name "king-graph"). Spell out something in the given category. Since each letter is only represented once in the grid, you can repeat letters or use a letter twice in a row. Use every letter. Today's puzzles I guess people can blurt out answers in the "comments" section. This will give me an idea of how easy these are. So don't go there until you've tried each of the puzzles, or you just don't care..Category: MOVIES

Imagine my surprise this weekend when flipping through the channels brought me to an MTV which actually played videos! Most of Saturday and Sunday were videos, and it was rather refreshing. Most of the stuff was new to me, because I rarely listen to the radio. And I wasn't too surprised to find that most of it was poo poo. I did come across a video/song that I enjoyed... it was an all-star remake of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On". It sounded like the kind of thing that would be on lots of radio stations; is that the case? It featured J-Lo, Christina Aguilera (C-Ag?), Nelly, Nas, F-Durst, Bono, Nelly Furtada (sp.?), Wyclef, Ja Rule, some 'N' Stinkers, and a few other people I forgot or didn't recognize. It seemed like a pretty generic get-together, for anti-racism and anti-violence and anti-AIDS and so forth. Not much sign of anti-terrorism though. So I got the MP3 and it still seems pretty good. They wove together the rapping and the singing rather well, and still prevented M-Gaye from rolling over in his grave. Good work by Nelly and Nas especially.
In a related story, Eric Cartman got Sheena Easton's "My Baby Takes the Morning Train" stuck in my head, and I couldn't help myself from downloading it. Ya heard me! Sunday, December 09, 2001
To whomever it was out there who found my site searching for "ellen poop", I hope you found what you were looking for.
Ah... nothing like waking up to a winter wonderland. And not going outside for another twenty-four hours.

This picture is in ESPN.com's photo gallery today. Here's the caption: "Afghan men play a traditional game called Buzkashi near Mazar-e-Sharif, in which a headless goat is placed in the center of a circle and the two side struggle to move the carcass to their scoring area."
I don't know what to say. Friday, December 07, 2001
Matth recommended a great word game yesterday: "TossWords"... only just now have I had time to let myself become addicted. But I'm not as good as I (or Matt) thought I would be. I can't believe some of the scores people are turning in! My best score on today's game (12/7) is 1825.
Oh scratch that, I thought you could only go in a straight line! Heh heh... okay, high scores here I come. Now this game just makes my brain hurt. Knowing how many huge words are sitting there ripe for the picking, and not wanting to settle for an eight-letter word. Maybe Boggle just can't be improved upon.  Website to recommend: UK-based NME (New Musical Epress). Their musical tastes are very similar to mine. For example, The Strokes (pictured) sit atop their "top 50 CD's of 2001" list. I think when you visit the site a popup window automatically starts playing the NME radio station... at first I thought "that's annoying", but an hour later I find myself enjoying every one of the songs they're playing. (If it doesn't pop up, there's a link to NME Radio on the right.) Everything from Outkast's "So Fresh So Clean" to Coldplay's "Trouble". Hopefully this will lead me to some new discoveries.
Interesting... on the back of the new one thousand dollar bill are the World Trade Center's twin towers. On the front is Grover Cleveland. (link via Off On a Tangent)
Something to think about... why do we consider the president's picture the "front" of the bill? Or is it just me. Thursday, December 06, 2001
Whoa, the Lakers are 16-1. That's pretty good. I wonder if this guy has anything to do with it. (Ask Shawn Bradley, he's the other guy in the picture. The one in the blue shirt.)

Ha! Bin Laden feared to have Segway Scooter.

Thanks to Parallax View for giving me another "shout-out", as we say on this side of the Atlantic. He's a Brit who is also a sports enthusiast, and since we sporty bloggers are so few and far between, we tend to help a brother out.
I hope he wasn't too offended by my "top ten phrases I plan to use in England" list... them're just jokes! Turns out, when I was over there, I was too embarrassed to fake my accent (which I don't think is too bad, though somewhat exaggerated at times)... so I restricted myself to YankSpeak during my visit. What I did notice that I had not known, was that literally EVERY question asked in England ends with a downward intonation or inflection, which according to my Linguistics textbook is supposed to signify a statement rather than an interrogation. The way Austin Powers asks "Am I making you horny, baby? Randy, even?" Oh well... it is called "English" after all.  So speaking of sports and England, yeah... the Leeds match was excellent. Probably the highlight of my vacation. (Whitby would be the sight-seeing, countryside highlight... I mean did you see those pictures?) I only made one purchase to take home with me, and it was a Leeds United jersey. What I didn't realize at the time was that I was shopping in the "kids" section. I tried on the Large and it was a little snug, so I grabbed the XL, just assuming that those wacky Brits had wacky sizes for their wacky jerseys. Instead wacky Luke is just wacky. I wore the jersey the night I got back, when we went to a bar to celebrate birthdays with friends. I tried to convince my footbally-retarded friends that "LUFC", spelled in small cursive capital letters, actually read "LUKE". I didn't realize the place was such a soccer-heavy place. I was approached by an Irishman and an Englishman about my shirt, and fortunately we had civilized discussions about football rather than uncivilized melees involving bottles breaking over my head. Thankfully nobody made fun of its being not so big. Maybe I pull it off well. (Exhibit A.) The English bartender asked me three times "how'd they do today" before I understood what he was saying (it was loud, OK?), and I just said something like "I dunno, I'm just a stupid Yank." I think I'll go to that establishment more often... and wear something else. Pictured: Alan Smith of Leeds Utd. fights off Aston Villa's Alpay. Smith was sent off during the match for elbowing someone rather blatantly in the stomach. This was the game I was at, and that's the jersey I bought. In a different size.

I hadn't heard about "Segway", this new revolutionary scooter thing until it was unveiled today... what do people think? Personally, I'd like to see it in action. But it sounds pretty cool. Gyroscopes are cool.
Here's an article from time.com that makes it sound pretty spiffy. Ah, here's a video. Why would I think to check segway.com?
Either this guy is very imaginative at creating his own fun, or he really wants to champion cell phone safety. What a way to spend a Saturday.
