Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I wonder if any of the Las Vegas sportsbooks will have a prop bet on whether Julian Edelman throws a pass in the Super Bowl? I'd throw a few dollars on "Yes" - just a hunch...  "Sin" originally meant "to miss the mark". Ask yourself what are you aiming for with your life? What is the mark you wish to hit? Maybe the real "sin" in the modern sense is aiming too low with your life... Someone should make a video of the accomplishments of the first 2-years of the Trump Administration with photos of President Trump set to the music of Carmina Burana. You would definitely get people watching two separate movies as Scott Adams likes to say... A "quantum leap" in general vernacular is used to denote a huge jump forward but shouldn't it be used to denote a tiny change instead? The quantum world itself is beyond microscopic... I'm a little surprised that Ed O'Neill is not in the cast of the new Deadwood movie. O'Neill was the original choice to play Swearengen and David Milch loved working with him on John from Cincinnati. Maybe O'Neill was unavailable?...  Cool - the library from Castlevania does exist. I've never seen Castlevania but I do love me some libraries... My name is Chris and I drink way too much during football season. Hi Chris!...

- How can you not like Dirk Nowitzki?

- Took me a second

- Pets with diplomas. Funny and depressing (because some of these animals have better degrees than I do)

- Actual climate change pronouncements over the years
