Maron going deep on US Acres

Writing an episode of BONES called "Prom Bones" where Bones has to solve a murder that was at a prom and I assume Bones didn't go to her prom and she doesn't get the concept of proms.

They don't have to shoot it or air it, but I want it to count, I want it to legally be a 247th episode of BONES.

What if Maron's last WTF guest had been Garfield creator Jim Davis?

Now, if he's on a horse - which of course, he will be - and I'm not? Advantage Headless Horseman. I'm a little nervous now, but mostly because of the horse.

If we're both on horses, though, I'm liking my odds again.

"Brom Bones", though? Hell of a nickname. Like, maybe a top 10 fictional character nickname of all time. Unless it's offensive. I guess you can't rule out that it's probably offensive somehow? I don't know, let's not explore it further.

I would have caught that Jack O'Lantern when he threw it. Caught it out of the air and immediately things turn to my favor.

Thinking about whether I would have been scared by the Headless Horseman.

No, I don't think so. I'd have been fine.

"Yeah, right, I'm not using a dummy. I'm Franz friggin' Reichelt!" - Franz Reichelt, last words

Sepia-toned image of Franz Reichelt, the "flying tailor", taken from his wikipedia page. Franz - who has the face and mustache of a cough drop entrepreneur or turn of the century baseball player - is wearing his famed "parachute suit", which looks like a bunch of drapes hooked to his back with a flimsy awning. He used a version of this to jump off the Eiffel Tower. Do you think it worked?

If I ever finish watching an NFL program and I'm not thanked for having watched it by someone on the broadcast, I will lose my goddamned mind.

"Hey, man!"

A semi-translucent Jeff Bridges in some kind of white space robe with some glowing shit on his chest facing the camera and smiling at someone who is, I guess, the back of Jared Leto's head maybe? In Tron: Ares or something, I don't know, who gives a shit.

A reminder that if a game reaches the 19th inning, we go to ‘ThirdGame’ rules, meaning one (1) previously used starting pitcher can re-enter the game and anyone already in the dugout wearing a full uniform when the 18th inning ends can come in to hit or run.

Honestly, baseball is a child’s sport, when you think about. A little game, a little game for the children. It would be embarrassing to be good at it as an adult, to win at baseball.
