    I'm surprised that people took pictures. Instead of trying to pick that cute little spotted Kitty up and pet it.
  2. I got an email from Menards this morning. They got this gizmo on sale they call a cup crate. This itty bitty plastic milk crate looking thing clips on to the side of your soup bowl, and you can put your soda crackers in it. Or eclipseCLIPS on to the side of your milk glass so you can put your chocolate chip cookies in it. And I thought that was kind of cute, in a nerdy sort of way. And it's on sale for $2. And I thought about that and figured that was probably what it ought to go for - a dollar or two. But the more I thought about it the more I wondered if it was a real thing. And I looked it up. It's real. And MSRP is $15. https://www.orientaltrading.com/clip-on-cupcrate-cracker-carrier-a2-14492232.fltr I would have had to think about it for a while before spending $2 on it. $15?? Yowzer.
  3. Funny I don't quite remember Gleason looking like that.
  4. Is there such a place as Bahama? I've heard of a group of islands called "the Bahamas". With an S. But in the Beach Boys song KOKOMO, they go to Bahama. Is this simply a little literary messing around to make the rhythm work? Or is there actually a place called Bahama?
  5. Can you say idiots? IDIOTS I knew you could.
  6. In the Northeast United States, women apparently are under the impression that ma'am is an insult. It means old woman. They also apparently believe that in Los Angeles. At least the screenwriters in Los Angeles do. Because frequently, in TV and in movies, somebody will call a woman ma'am and she will get offended. I was watching an NCIS rerun. This was with Kate 3.0. You know first there was Kate. Then she was killed. They replaced her with the Israeli Kate - Kate 2.0. About 8 years later she quit and went back to Israel, and they replaced her with Kate 3.0. This Kate came from Oklahoma. In this particular episode that I was watching someone called her ma'am, and she got bent. "DO I LOOK LIKE A MA'AM TO YOU?????" If she was from New York, or Pennsylvania or Massachusetts, I can see that. But she's from Oklahoma. Don't they say ma'am in Oklahoma?
  7. "Four foul balls you're out" is sandlot rules. It's not even a Little League rule, let alone a softball or a hard ball rule.
  8. It's all coke, except actual Coke, which is Co-Cola. And you don't even think about it. That's what comes out of your mouth. It's like calling a woman ma'am. You don't think about it. You talk to a woman you say ma'am.
  9. Why would the announcer assume it was a strikeout? Assuming she had two strikes already, she hit it foul. Why would that be a strikeout?
  10. I should have posted this yesterday, but I forgot. Old timer's disease creeping up.
  11. "How bullet is made" They did not show how the bullet was made. They also did not prime those cartridges. They made the primer pocket. They drilled the flash hole. But they did not prime them.
  12. Man is driving down a dark lonely road when he sees a hitchhiker. He stops and picks him up. They ride in silence for a little ways, then the hitchhiker turns to the driver and says, "I certainly appreciate you picking me up. But aren't you concerned that I might be a homicidal maniac?" The driver looks over at him and says, "What are the odds of there being two of them in the same car?"
  13. She was driving me crazy couple years back. Trying to figure out who she was. I think this was in season 2. Kate was still alive. It was in 2005. And this woman was the witness to a murder. I'm thinking "who is that?? Boy she looks familiar. She's cute. Who the heck is that?" I sometimes have trouble identifying child actors when they have grown.
