Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

In the States of Illinois and New Hampshire you are required by law to wear a mask when in public. However, in both those States you are free to ride a motorcycle without a helmet. How does that make any sense?... I would pay good money to watch a re-make of the movie Barfly with Jay Cutler in the Mickey Rourke role... At least in Iowa they are consistent. You aren't required to wear either a mask or a motorcycle helmet... Lee Marvin - Hollywood was different back then. Marvin's big break may have been when John Wayne turned down the lead in The Dirty Dozen opening the door for Marvin's biggest role... Aldous Huxley, C.S. Lewis and John F. Kennedy all died on November 22, 1963. We only remember JFK... "You have to be odd to be number one." - Dr. Seuss. A quote that I have loved on many levels for many years now...

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- "Too short" Tom Cruise to be replaced in Jack Reacher reboot. Jack Reacher is 6'5" and a beast in the books but I think if Cruise agreed to do a third film Lee Child would cash that check in a heartbeat.

- Giant meteorite creator bigger than Paris found under Greenland's ice sheet. Randall Carlson proven correct!

- Kevin Durant to the Celtics? Actually I believe I had that "hot take" first.

- Cool - how to make 40 different paper airplanes

- Heh Heh

- Iowa Nation Guard soldiers told to return overpaid wages. The soldiers did nothing wrong and if I were a billionaire I would just write a check to cover all of these funds. Isn't there some billionaire from Iowa willing to step up?

- This is the best college prank of all-time
