Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

We could have 100% rock solid evidence that the virus was released from the Wuhan lab but if medical experts proved the Nicki Manaj's cousin's testicle story was real - the story of the swollen balls would get all the media attention... Greenpeace and Golden Rice. Greenpeace is an evil organization and if you donate money to them you are either ignorant of the facts or also a bad person. This is when I decided Greenpeace was just evil... With all the legalized gambling in this country you would think the word "Vigorish" would be making a big comeback but not so much...  For the past decade auto-tuned vocals have been big in pop songs. I'd like to see someone go old school and instead of auto-tune just sing the vocals into a fan (like we used to do as a kid)... Week 3 of college football is normally the point where sports bettors realize "I don't know what the hell I'm doing." This year that's really true... The Biden Administration has been especially hard on the folks at Bad Lip Reading because whatever they come up with for Joe Biden people will be unsure if it's a joke or maybe the President actually said that...

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

In the old days when SNL was funny it would almost be guaranteed that there would be a spoof of the Springsteen / Jeep commercial. I'd be surprised if they went there today...  Heh heh - NFL 2021 Bad Lip Reading... Not sure about you but I'm not paying any attention to the "Second Impeachment Trial." Not worthy of my time nor attention. The exception is any Republican Congressman or Senator who goes along with this sham. That I will pay attention to and remember... I've avoided reading this book for some time. Probably for the same reason I've never seen Schindler's List. I don't want to put myself through that emotional trauma. To understand where I'm coming from - I choked up in tears just walking through the Holocaust Memorial in Boston. But time to get over that. Ordering the book today... In the old days (meaning just 2 or 3 years ago) after the Super Bowl I would be counting the days until Spring Training. Not this year. Kind of could care less....

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I wonder if Bill Belichick hates Chris Mortensen more today than he hated Tom Jackson back in 2001... Incredible - these are not still photos... Hard to believe but Pete Carroll is almost a year older than Bill Belichick... Charlie Pierce has the best piece I've read yet on how ridiculous Ballghazi has become (and was to begin with)... How great would it be if someone replaced Stephen Hawking's computer voice with Emo Phillips... Heh heh - Bad Lip Reading NFL 2015...
