Toy Story Meets The Wire

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I didn't vote for him and have to shake my head at some of his antics but I'll convinced that if President Trump was a Democrat the media would be shouting, "It's the economy stupid!"... Bruins sign a back-up goalie. Sorry being told actually the back-up goalie they signed was Jaroslav Halak... This does put a different spin on the movie Toy Story [EDIT - link went to a Tweet that said "My daugjter just ruined Toy Story for ever. She said if one of the toys died Andy wouldnt know and he'd carry on playing with its corpse]... Just saying but doesn't Venezuela have a single-payer health system?... Seeing how Rajon Rondo has signed with the Lakers here's another reminder... And one final periodic reminder that "Joe Biden" is an anagram for "I need a job"... This basketball brawl was crazy...

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

- Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - is it wrong if I'd prefer if JK Rowling just wrote a book instead?

- I'll take "Things on the Internet that make you say WTF?" for $200 Alex

- The Sumo Sprint

- Definitely going to hell for laughing at this

- Am I the only who sees this and thinks "Woody on the Cross"?

- Heh heh

- Excellent news for baseball good guy Hal McCoy

- This Ghostbusters cartoon is touching

- Interesting theory about who Andy's mom really was in the Toy Story movies

- Nice story about Nick Francona going from Marine scout-sniper unit leader in Afghanistan to the Angels front office

- The kind of economic stats the MSM doesn't seem to want to acknowledge

I normally like crunchy food but not when that food is Sausage Egg McMuffins... Another reason to like Kevin Durant - him playfully swatting the ball out of Kate Upton's hands... Combined the total area of the 27 countries that make up the European Union would still only cover half of the USA.... Cool - Pop Icons in a Different Light... With summer upon us here's a handy tip. In the wilderness dusk with crickets chirping in harmony - if you count the number of chirps in 15 seconds and then add 40 you'll get the air temperature in degrees Fahrenheit... Heh heh - its funny because it is soooo true...  One of my favorite little factoids - "Britney Spears" is an anagram for "Presbyterians"... Classic - Toy Story meets The Wire... Acifex is a product pronounced "ass-effects" whose possible side-effects could include gas, infection and constipation. That always cracks me up... This is also funny (to guys at least) because its true... I'm not really upset that HBO and Game of Thrones had a bust of President George Bush on a spike. I am upset that they switched actors playing Mountain Clegane between seasons 1 and 2... Interesting - How do they decaffeinate coffee?

The things you learn on the Internet - Joss Whedon wrote the screenplay for the first Toy Story. Well that's partially correct - four people got credit for the story and four people (including Whedon) got credit for the screenplay... I'm linking to this because it contains the words "enormous vagina dug out of sand on Coney Island"... Make no mistake - Florida choked yesterday. They had much more raw talent than Butler but they choked... Chipper Jones needs just 1 run scored for 1506 in his career which would tie Mike Schmidt for 68th place all-time. There's no doubt in my mind that Chipper Jones is a Hall of Fame player.. According to Baseball-Reference.com - the most similar batter by age to Jose Bautista is Mack Jones who last played in 1971 and who never made an all-star team. If Bautista does hit more than 35 HR this season - boy will those 54 HR from last season stick out like a sore thumb... The things you learn on the Internet (Part II) - "A May 1967 Gallup Poll found almost twice as many Americans supported nuking North Vietnam as supported withdrawal"... Jeff Ross certainly looked like an autotonsorialist in that Trump Roast... I've said it before but CBS is missing a huge opportunity if they don't replace Katie Couric with Strong Bad... I don't think Raylan Givens has shot and killed a single person in this season of Justified - you know that will change soon... The things you learn on the Internet (Part III) - "Last year, the US Mint reported a loss of $42.6 million on the production of pennies and nickels"... Speaking of Justified - I believe you have my stapler
