Flotsam and Jetsam

 Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Whatever happened with all those lawsuits against Saudi Arabia for their 9/11 culpability?... Well the Most Interesting Man in the World did tell us he didn't always drink beer... My favorite conspiracy theory is that making cookies is just a front for the Keebler Elves sports bookmaking operation... "It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living." - Terry Pratchett... Was going to do a post about whether Jon Lester is a Hall of Famer but the simple answer is "No." He's beloved in both Boston and Chicago and has 3 World Series rings but with just 192 wins and a career ERA of 3.59 that just doesn't cut it. What really props up Lester is his great personality, being a cancer survivor, and the fact he went 4-1 with a 1.77 ERA in 5 career World Series starts. The bigger the game the better Lester seemed to pitch. Would not be surprised if he retired or maybe signed a one-year deal with the Red Sox for next season... With the cancel mob gunning for JK Rowling for her new book about a cross-dressing killer - I wonder how long it will be before that mob comes after the 1980 movie Dressed to Kill? Because the plot (spoiler alert) is basically the same...
