“Huh, I don’t know how that got on there.” Yeah, my parents didn’t believe me when I said that in the previous century.

My in-laws call me every six weeks because one of their phones isn’t working. A restart has fixed them every time, but I use it as an opportunity to delete all the scammy game apps and “phone cleaners” they constantly download.

I could take a lot more gnashing of teeth if the consistent message was "he stole money from the US Treasury to demolish the White House"

No. People thought it was, but on closer examination it was nothing. However, the coverup for the bad tat is Norse mythology themed, so 😑

The "All Monsters Attack" (1969) Godzilla movie doesn't include Godzilla. It doesn't include ANY kaiju. The plot centers around a bullied latchkey kid who DREAMS of hanging out with Godzilla's "son" Minilla and meeting other monsters. He also fights jewel thieves. No "real" kaiju appear in the film.
Kid dreaming of meeting Minilla in the All Monsters Attack (1969) movie.

I wish I had copies of our old jazz band music. Some deeply odd stuff in there, like “Cha Cha Cha for Judy” and a jazzy riff on “La Cucaracha” whose name escapes me.

Yeah, If you have the drive to be in the top 0.00001% of people in any area, there’s a big threat that you can’t turn it off even when the risk/reward is terrible. There are people who cheat at Learned League!

There were so many ads in Wisconsin for the ones in the UP. “ONLY 184 MILES AWAY!” Ma’am, this is not a Buc-ees or the Mystery Spot.

Three news helicopters circling over your neighborhood can’t mean anything good. Neutral, maybe, but not good.

Deep Lake Michigan on a clear day
On top of Pyramid Point looking across the Manitou Passage at North Manitou Island in the distance. A lighthouse is built on a platform over a shoal. The sand on top of the 200-ish foot bluff gives way to the water below, which goes from aquamarine to a pure blue as the depth increases.

The tiebreaker procedure seems fine for picking the top team, but flawed when selecting the opponent. It’s going to tend toward rematches, since a great way to boost opponents’ win percentage is to lose to them.

Probably OSU, since Oregon already played Indiana. It also protects Oregon from dropping out of the Playoff.

I think I’m with you, mostly. For marginal seats, someone who presents as a moderate has a better chance, and it’s hard to find someone who can make that sound exciting and fresh. My disappointment is that the party seems to go out of its way to kneecap bolder candidates in safe seats.

Lots of people think that their level of knowledge (whether high or low) is typical/normal/correct.
