1.  A very underrated TV show: The Glades on A&E.

2. I have never wanted to swim with the dolphins.

3. Primarily because I can’t swim.

4. I’m starting to get used to this hot and humid weather.

5. I had my first taste of a veggieburger Monday night — by accident. I thought it was a pork chop. OMG it was awful. It was like biting into a piece of cardboard wrapped in grass.

1. My guilty pleasure: Archer. Even the reruns are hilarious the ninth and 10th times I have seen them.

2. The musical all mimes prefer: Les Mimerables.

3. Did any other TV show go from great to “who cares?” faster than Revenge?

4. I’m so glad Kim Kardashian had her baby.

5.  It’s probably been 10 years since I watched more than five minutes of TV golf — until Sunday. The U.S. Open was tremendous television.

1. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads reading this.

2. Does anyone really like spinach?

3. When it comes to a club sandwich, what’s your favorite primary meat — chicken or turkey? I think I lean toward turkey.

4. There’s probably not a worse sandwich than a lukewarm sloppy joe.

5. I wonder who invented the T-shirt.

1. My entire weekend was ruined when I found out World War Z does no hit the theaters until next weekend.

2. A lady who works with me at The Herald-Whig does not know the difference between a vampire and zombie. Seriously?

3. I didn’t have the heart to bring up werewolves to her.

4. I actually watched about 90 minutes of U.S. Open golf coverage on Friday, and then asked myself … Why? It doesn’t matter until about 4 p.m. on Sunday.

5. Have you ever had a bacon/cheddar hamburger from the Butcher Block in Quincy at one of its outdoor cookouts? That’s some mighty fine eatin’, pardner.

1. I had an incredible lunch Friday at Hy-Vee on Harrison. The Chinese portion of the store’s buffet was offering a new item — pineapple chicken. It was amazing. Combining poultry with passion fruit, who knew??!!

2. Don’t you just love those Fridays and Saturdays when the little old ladies are in the supermarkets with their free tastes of pizza, pork chops, chicken, etc.?

3. If the Cleveland Indians beat the Washington Nationals on Friday night, the Tribe will be back to .500. Be a believer in Indian fever.

4. I never knew so many places in your body could hurt when you get close to 60 years old.

5. See you Friday evening at the Relay for Life at Flinn Stadium in Quincy.

1. Remember when sports teams did not have the names of players on the backs of their jerseys? If you answer “yes” to that it means you are very old — like me.

2. I wonder what it feels like to pull a hamstring?

3. Or an oblique?

4. Whatever happened to Andy Etchebarren?

5. My wife made some concoction — for herself, not me — that included tuna salad, mayo and relish. OMG it looked and smelled horrible.

1. It’s hot.

2. I mean, it’s Africa hot.

3. But you know what? No complaints here. I’d rather sweat than freeze any day. (Remind about this statement in mid-August.)

4. I don’t understand how guys with beard can stand this humid weather.

5. Another first name I wouldn’t mind if I were of Hispanic heritage: Ubaldo.

3. But they also give you two one-liter bottles of cola to help wash it down.

4. The giant dog is called “The Boomstick.”

5. Team executive Nolan Ryan refers to the sandwich as a “tremendous wiener.”

1. Best-looking sports jersey: The classic St. Louis Cardinals bird-on-the-bat look.

2. One of my favorite sports names in recent years is Dan Uggla, who plays second base for the Atlanta Braves.

3. If I had lived in the 1900s, I think I would have liked my name to be “Ike.” Seems kind of pioneer-ish.

4. I still haven’t figured what all the Duck Dynasty fuss is about.

5. One of the small pleasures in this world is the chicken strip basket from Dairy Queen.

1. I had a horrible breakfast sandwich combo from Burger King Saturday morning. The sandwich was lukewarm at best and soggy and those little potato puffs were stone cold. At one time, Burger King had the finest breakfast offerings of any of of the fast-food giants.

2. I’m kind of anxious to see how good Fox Sports 1 will be when it debuts in August. Fox’s past attempts to challenge the supremacy of ESPN have failed miserably.

4. Macaroni and cheese: Underrated or overrated?

5. A mime’s favorite 1980s band: Quiet Riot.
