Beastie Boys / Muppets Mashup

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Do you have any idea what the worldwide demand of a movie called The Muppets Do Dallas would be if they used the original script and plot? Bigger than Avatar... I wonder if the sales of chewing gum is up since the pandemic? My guess is that it is as people become more aware of the smell of their on breath wearing masks... Katy Perry has a cat named Kitty Purry. That's so cute... If 2005's Fantastic Four with the same cast was made by Marvel under Kevin Feige with a director like Joss Wheadon or Taika Waititi it would have been a smash hit. I'll die on this hill... Stouffer's (the people who make stuffing) have a merchandise store. Guessing the Venn diagram of people who buy Stouffer's merch and people who are clinically obese is an almost perfect circle... The anniversary of JFK's death reminds me that the day he was buried at Arlington National was also John F. Kennedy Jr's birthday. How would you like to have had that reminder every year on your birthday growing up?...

Not sure what this says about the sport but of all the Muppets I think Beaker would be the most likely to golf and follow the Masters at Augusta National... Have to admit - the idea of President Gary Johnson is growing on me... If I had an advertising agency - I would run a series of  "not people - real actors" commercials... Guy lives out of his truck by choice. He also seems to have decided to be single for the rest of his life. The two decisions seem to go hand in hand. "Hey baby do you to come back to my truck?"... One of the greatest T-shirts of all-time... Chuck Norris Action Jeans would be a good name for a band or for a fantasy baseball team... This is a fantastic story - imagine having to ask your boss if you could have time off to play the Masters...

So when the Patriots did not resign Darrelle Revis to a contract many in the Boston media were all over them for not stepping up and signing the great corner. But here's the thing - if the Patriots had signed Revis to a similar deal to what the Jets gave him then those very same media members would have instead ripped New England for overpaying for a CB and breaking their rules of financial restraint. You know it's true... RIP Gene Patton - aka Gene, Gene the Dancing Machine... Today is Michael Caine's birthday. Probably going to watch one of his older movies at some point today. Something like The Man Who Would Be King... Heh heh... So if your fantasy football league had a trade that sent LeSean McCoy and Nick Foles to another team for Sam Bradford and DeMarco Murray who would you say won that trade? Basically that's what the Eagles just did... Cool... As a reminder - if you say "My Cocaine" you are also saying "Michael Caine" in his own voice... Hmmmm - no net change in thickness of Arctic Sea ice since 1940... Today is also Albert Einstein's birthday. Just a reminder that even though E=MC2 is perhaps the most famous scientific equation in history - Einstein never received the Nobel Prize for coming up with it. The reasons for this slight were mostly because Einstein was Jewish... Muppets as comic book characters... Random Albert Einstein trivia; when Einstein lived in Princeton he had a small 17-foot sailboat he named Tinef which is Yiddish for "piece of junk"... Tom Hanks is a really nice guy...
