Thanks to some terrible late-game clock management, Maryland survived saturday's season opener against Northern Illinois, 23-20. It wasn't particularly pretty, and our rookie quarterback looks like a disaster waiting to happen... but, the team has overcome particularly ugly starts the past two years so I've got hope.

Saw "Garden State" today. More interestingly, before the movie, we were eating dinner at the California Tortilla. Behind us in line... Matthew Lesko. And yes, he was wearing one of those Question-Mark suits.

It's hard to explain who Lesko is, if you haven't seen his commercials. As he roams around screaming about how you can get free money from the government to work on your invention. With his crazy-ass, The Riddler on Drugs suits. He lives right around my neighborhood, and I've seen him in public with his wife a few times. She must be his wife - why else appear in public with him?

Anyway, today he's out there with a 1980's Tampa Bay Buccaneer color scheme - white suit with orange questionmarks all over it, and orange shirt, and orange and white running shoes. What do you say to that?

I wonder if people go up to him and ask him all sorts of crazy-ass questions. I've never seen anyone approach him - he's just too freaky. One of these times, I'm going to ask him if there's a government program I can use to finance a hooker bash, or maybe start up a crack house. I wonder if he'll punch me? And he's got a ring, so when he hits me, it'll leave a big Questionmark on my face. Or even weirder - he'll actually have an answer besides "Buy my book!!!!!!!!!!!!"

But, he's out with his wife, and he's freaky, so I don't want to bother him. From personal experience, I know it's weird to get pestered by strangers. But on the other hand, doesn't it sort of serve him right for wearing those ludicrous suits and doing those lame-ass commercials. He's crying out for attention, right? Oh, the ethical dilemma...
