Quiz Answers!

Here are the answers to my sports quiz, see how you did!

1. Broncos: John Elway, Steve Atwater, Champ Bailey

Dodgers: Darryl Strawberry, Raul Mondesi, Orel Hershiser

2. Sorry, although Jerry Rice was the best, I was a big fan of Andre Reed, so I chose:

3. I had an old New York Mets Jersey, I did like Strawberry when he played there.

4. Bo knows everything! I remember watching his career end vs. the Bengals. That was sad, he was so good!

5. Tommy Lasorda, Brett Butler, Mike Morgan

6. Broncos vs. Raiders, back when they played in Los Angeles. Broncos lost, I couldn't wear anything orange or that said Denver. My mom was scared i'd get beat up or something...she was probably right.

7. The final game of Magic vs. Larry. Even with Magic's comebacks he never got to go against Larry due to injuries. I saw them play in the old Forum.

8. Kent Mercker for the Braves vs. the Dodgers. April 8, 1994. It was the day they found Kurt Cobain's body, I guess the Dodgers decided they were too depressed to hit.

9. I bet my grandma that the Mets would beat the Red Sox in the 1986 World Series. We bet a Baskin Robbins ice cream cone. I won!

10. Who is this Jordan figure that you all think I had my picture taken with? You are way off, it was the USA Jersey of WNBA superstar Rebecca Lobo!

Trivia Time!

Here is a brief sporting quiz about yours truly. Most of you probably won’t get that many, well my brother might, but regardless guessing is fun too.

1. Everyone knows I am a huge Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Dodgers fan, or at least you should. Who are my top 3 favorite Broncos players and top 3 Dodgers players of all time?

2. When I played football at Margarita Elementary School, I had a gold jersey with what number on it, and why did I pick that number? (hint: my position was WR)

3. Other than the Dodgers, I was a fan of this team growing up, I even had a jersey.

4. I loathe (hmm loathe is too nice of a word actually) that team who plays football in oakland pretty much more than anything. That said who is the only player on that team I enjoyed watching?

5. When I was an Honorary Dodgers Bat Boy for one game I was able to obtain autographs from 3 Dodgers, name them.

6. What was the first football game I attended? What were the results?

7. What historic basketball game did I attend?

8. I have seen one no-hitter, who pitched it and who was it against?

10. When I went to Washington DC in the Spring of 06, I had my picture taken with whose basketball jersey?

Homer and the Pig

This was by far my favorite moment from the movie:

Welcome Back Hutchins!

So after just a mere 6 years I have decided that its time to go back to school! Yes, I have pondered this for quite sometime and I feel its the right thing to do. Now of course having not picked up a book for the purpose of studying in a while I decided that it was important that I not overextend myself, so...

1. Take one class - Management 110 - Elements of Management.

I figure this way I can slowly get back into the mind frame of the academia world. At the same time I don't want to have to change my current work schedule or haul myself to a far place, so...

2. Take Online Class!

Reading over the description of the class it says that I should be spending about 3.1 hours per week on this class. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that I will spend about an hour a week...hmm that actually sounds like a lot, make it 30 mins.

So here I am, a student again! Should I visit my new campus? The answer is simple yes, and why!

3. Get a new student I.D. for the movies!

Suck it University of San Diego!

So today U.S. News and World Report published their list of America's Top Colleges







We're #96! We're #96 We're #96!



And no, I don't take these things completely serious, but just to mention schools not on the list:

Biola University

California State University Long Beach

California State University San Diego



...so...umm..... yeah Go Highlanders

Movie Trailer

Oh man, I wish this movie were real.

Oww! That probably hurts

Top 5 Sports Injuries. Why? Cause its a slow day and I saw the video of the x-game guy falling 50 feet so I figured it was appropriate.

5. Geoff Jenkins...ankles aren't supposed to do that right?

4. Jason Kendall continues to run, despite his ankle barely being attached

3. Alabama ruins the career of Tyrone Prothro by continuing to play him in a blow out game.

2. Shaun Livingston's Knee is crooked for some reason...oh yeah dislocated

1. Napoleon McCallum gets twisted....be forewarned, its not easy to watch.

Honorable Mentions: Joe Theisman, Willis McGahee, Robin Ventura, Moises Alou.

Washington DC

As most of you know I went to Washington DC last week. Here are some pictures from the trip in no particular order:

-Lincoln Memorial taken at night

- Robert E. Lee's House at Arlington

- An Orangutan with a bag on his head, perhaps a Lions fan.

- Race of the Presidents at the Nationals game. Teddy does not win.....ever!

- Beers after the game with Jim, Malinda and Christie

- Fords Theater. Damn you John Wilkes Booth!

- Portrait Gallery of the Presidents. Here is George H. W. Bush, my favorite president with the surname Bush!

- George Washington's House, or as I call it: Cribs Revolutionary War Style!

- The administrator of Rhymes with Gin believes in blog promises!

- Lincoln's picture in the Portrait Gallery's Civil War Exhibit

- View of the Lincoln Memorial and the World War II Memorial from the top of the Washington Monument. Its a Kodak moment

- Bulls at Washington's House. Notice the small wooden fence, is this secure?

- Mei Xiang lounging on some rocks. Apparently pandas are not cuddly and will maul you, go figure?

- 2 year old Tai Shan being lazy as usual. At least I could see him this time!

- The Vietnam Memorial....there are way too many names

- Grandpa Hutchins!

- World War I Memorial. This one doesn't get the love the others do.

So there you go, a quick recap. I have more pictures, but I just chose a few so you could get a glimpse of some of the things we did. Fun trip overall. One of these days I'll actually get a White House tour, go see Monticello, and take the Green Metro Line someplace.

If I can change, we can all change!

Because the Stanley Cups are over (Go Ducks!) its time for all the hockey players to shave their playoff beards. I decided this was the appropriate time to try out some new looks myself before shaving (well that and cause its hotter now and thus way more itchier). Please tell me if there is anything that you like so that I can grow it back in the future.


First up: The Eric Gagne




Its quite simple, all you have to do is shave the hair underneath your chin, but keep the hair around it. I put on the Dodgers jersey, hat and glasses for effect.



Next up: The Hulk Hogan


This could be an interesting look for me! Although you don't see it, I totally ripped that shirt into shreds. WATCHA GONNA DO BROTHA, WHEN HUTCHAMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU!!!

Third: The Cop


Here is me practicing giving a ticket to my sister. I totally can do this law enforcement thing!

Fourth: The look of the family.



Everyone always says that my brother looks just like my dad, I think its obvious that I actually have the look down better.



So there are some options for later this winter when I'll need facial hair to stay warm, until then I guess you are stuck with this.
