Quick Hits- Friday Edition

In the style of the Sofa King's blog, here are a few tidbits worth mentioning on this lovely Friday:

1) It's holiday party time, round III. We welcome G-Unit into town this weekend for a stopover at a holiday party thrown by the crew from his alma mater on Friday, and then the Offering will host a holiday party with LongMan and the K-Rock Saturday night. Back to back debauchery. Drop me a line if you don't know the details for Saturday.

2) Formal charges were handed down to four Minnesota Vikings for their actions on the now-famous Love Boat cruise, and they are as scandalous as everyone hoped. The Smoking Gun has the formal police reports that describe the, uh, lascivious acts that led to the charges. Because the Offering is a family publication, we won't comment further on said acts.

3) I got my ticket to the Bears-Falcons game Sunday night on ESPN. It's going to be freezing out there, but it's time to Bear Down, Chicago Bears. We need this game as much as Atlanta does, and with Minnesota facing a tough Pittsburgh team, we could put some distance between ourselves and everyone chasing us in the division.

4) Maybe fighter jets have become obsolete, but the new F-22 Raptor is so cool.

5) For the last time: Shut your mouth, Terrell Owens. You feel like the Eagles "used you to win games"? Guess what? THAT'S WHAT SPORTS TEAMS DO. GET GOOD PLAYERS AND THEN USE THEM TO WIN GAMES. And when you beg the Eagles to save you from going to Baltimore and they pay you $50 million to do so, that's not being used. I honestly wonder sometimes if people can hear themselves talk.

6) I saw King Kong last night. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. The scenery is phenomenal, the action is well-done, and Manhatten in the early-to-middle of the 20th century is depressing and eerily atmospheric. A great film. It's a long one, clocking in at 187 minutes, but Peter Jackson doesn't make 'em any shorter these days.

That's it for today. Have a great weekend. One more week to get all that shopping done.
