Flotsam and Jetsam

 Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I believe in spooky action at a distance - as long as that distance is a Planck length (or less)... "Develop into a lifelong self-learner through voracious reading; cultivate curiosity and strive to become a little wiser every day." - Charlie Munger... Who knew? There's a sequel to Wonder Woman scheduled for release in less than a month and a half. Wonder Woman 1984 is scheduled for release on October 2nd. I haven't seen one ad or anything for this movie... You may have missed this but the Orchids of Asia case against Robert Kraft has been dismissed by the appeals court. I know Mr. Kraft probably just wants to let this quietly end but part of me wants him to go after the police involved with a massive lawsuit. Not only was this a violation of the Fourth Amendment but the police planted the cameras illegally (using a fake bomb scare) and they smeared his good name saying this was a human trafficking case (no human trafficking charges were ever filed). I support the police but these cops are just creeps who abused their power to get their jollies... Mounting evidence that lockdowns do not work. "The data suggests that lockdowns have not prevented any deaths from COVID-19." I do not know a single person who would be in support of another lockdown...

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

- Interesting profile of poker player Phil Ivey who is skipping the WSOP this year. (Long read)

- The list is bogus! Where's The Passion of the Christ (why yes I am going to hell why do you ask?)

- Never forget!

- Tennis Shoes?!? What the hell is wrong with you people?

- Bravo Connecticut indeed!

RIP Bud Collins. To me he was tennis. Wimbledon just wasn't Wimbledon without him. That said I think the McEnroe brothers are ready to take up his mantle as far as TV duties are concerned. However, it will never be the same as tennis will never be as popular again as it was during Collins' heyday...  Heh heh... OK - I'll say it! Both Holly Holm and Miesha Tate have very nice butts. And both could kick my ass... Jeez - maybe Keanu Reeves really is John Wick... Just because I make the observations that all incarnations of Wonder Woman have had large breasts and shaven arm pits doesn't make me a misogynist... Hmmm - the Celtics made a run at the Bulls' Jimmy Butler at the trade deadline? Just as interesting is the fact that this has been leaked. It wasn't by the Celtics so it was either the Bulls or Butler's camp. Interesting... A Pizza Night Light? Yes please!... Just as a fantasy baseball reminder - any time this spring that Peter Gammons writes "Player X is healthy and on a mission" - avoid that player like the plague... Supposedly Douglas MacArthur didn't spend a single night in Korea during the entire duration of the war. Can that really be true?...

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I think Carolina rolls today but I'm not betting on the game. The Broncos in the NFL (like Syracuse in NCAAF) always seem to find a way to screw me when I bet on or against them... This is actually an excellent idea... I saw this picture and I was curious who the woman was who was Wonder Woman's stunt double. Turns out Jeannie Epper has had quite an illustrious film and TV career (though only one episode of Wonder Woman)... "Cthulhu doesn't play dice with the universe" - Albert Einstein... If you've seen The Force Awakens this is awesome...  I always assumed Bob Feller had already been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Feller's patriotism made Ted Williams feel like a pussy for crying out loud. Sign the petition!!... Heh heh - "I got some new underwear today. Well, new to me" - Emo Phillips... Wasn't this basically the plot to Carl Hiassen's Skinny Dip? Really surprised Skinny Dip hasn't been made into a movie... Not only was Richard Nixon the only sitting President to attend the Kentucky Derby - he was also the only President to meet both Elvis and RoboCop... 11 days till pitchers and catchers report to spring training!...
