Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Just saying but if you yell "Wakanda forever!" people will cheer. If you shout "America forever!" some will look at you like you're a xenophobic misanthrope. That's not right...  Posted without comment... Still say that there's a market for a fantasy football app where if one of the players on your roster kneels during the Anthem your team is penalized 10 points off the top for each player who kneels. I think if that rule was allowed in Madden then it could also end kneeling almost overnight (players actually care about their video game numbers)... Also posting without comment...  In 1920 when Warren Harding promised a "return to normalcy" - the word "normalcy" didn't even exist in the dictionary. We could use that return to normalcy right about now. Last night I went out to a bar to see a live band with dancing and NO masks. That was a step in the right direction...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

In 1920 when Warren Harding promised a "return to normalcy" - the word "normalcy" didn't even exist in the dictionary. We certainly could use a return to "normalcy" right about now. The biggest jump in retail sales could certainly help with that.. There should have been an episode of Magnum PI where Magnum saw Higgins kill his ex-wife and a waiter but kept silent about it for years... Once had a dream where I was in a group called The Slim Whitman Tribute Band but all we played were Primus covers. Yodeling Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver was actually pretty cool on many levels... "The secret of getting ahead is getting started." - Mark Twain... I like the term "active flexibility" which normally refers to exercise like yoga or kettle bell swings but could really be applied to any aspect of daily life...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Thank God the Patriots had the foresight to sign Tim Tebow as a back-up tight end... Guy writes his name as a penis on Jeopardy... Many people started off by comparing Barack Obama to Jimmy Carter. Then with all the scandals - it was vogue to compare him to Richard Nixon. I think when it is all said and done - historians will be comparing him to Warren Harding... Interesting - the abandoned island in the middle of NYC... Had a dream that I was in a group called The Slim Whitman Tribute Band but all we played were Primus covers. Yodeling Wynona's Big Brown Beaver was actually pretty cool on many levels... I understand this and am not saying it is wrong but its just that it doesn't seem right. The highest paid people on the Pentagon's budget are the three service academy football coaches... Jack Dempsey said the only man he ever ducked fighting when he was heavyweight champ was Ernest Hemingway. He didn't want to hurt him... Holy crap! John McAfee founder of McAfee software on how to uninstall his software...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

If you've paid attention to this space for any length of time - you'll know that I'm a fan of the Patriots taking a chance with Tim Tebow. I think he gives them options on offense that no other team will have... The physics of Thor. I didn't know that Captain America could wield Thor's hammer - cool... In 1920 when Warren Harding promised a "return to normalcy" - the word "normalcy" didn't even exist in the dictionary.. Heh heh - party hard... 22 pretty cool facts... I'm convinced that A-Rod sold his Miami home knowing this steroids scandal was on the horizon. If I recall correctly A-Rod bought the home for $15 million but sold it for $30 million. Would the scandal have cost him a few million if he waited another month to sell?... Heh heh - NBA players read "Mean Tweets"... Tinker, Tailor, Sailor, Spy is such an under-rated movie. What a great cast...
