We're Counting Cards...
Movie-literate readers will recognize this article's title as a quote from the awesome 1988 film Rain Man, which starred Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise (setting Cruise's personal a-hole-ishness aside, this is one of his better acting jobs). If you've never seen this movie, I recommend a trip to the video store, post haste... and while you're at it, also grab Field of Dreams if you haven't had the pleasure.
But, I digress. (Yeah, what else is new?!) Really, though, I did have a reason for mentioning Rain Man: because a blogger who calls himself RAINMAN has become the SIXTH person to put a link to me on his/her site. (OK, so I solicited the link in a shameless, not-so-subtle hint left in a comment on his page. So sue me!)
I must warn you, he doesn't pull any punches when he expresses his opinion. If you're a freakin' idiot, he'll be sure to let you know. But his no-frills style of writing keeps me coming back. Hell, the recent post about his dog was enough for the price of admisssion in and of itself. Plus, he's a fellow Michigander, so that earns him some bonus points. (GO TIGERS!)
With this sixth site linking to me, I wanted to differentiate things in the "BLOGS I READ" section. Therefore, I created the "team" concept. It's quite simple: Sites listed in "The Gold Team" are sites that link to me. Those in "The Silver Team" do not. All of the sites in both teams are sites that I enjoy reading, and recommend to others. I just wanted to give the ones who do link to me a little extra recognition, that's all.

It all sounds confusing, but I understand it now.
I like a lot of those tv shows: Lost, 24, Prison Break, The Shield, Smallville.
