Yeah I know, but there is so much of this going on that I can’t begrudge them this championship.

I was going to watch a show I had on DVR.
But then I remembered "Krapp's Last Tape" and decided to do something else.

The company I work for has a $2 bill with the Trump mugshot on it in the catalog.
People are buying it whether they love him or hate him.
I asked one guy if he was a collector and he said, "No. I'm just crazy".
I chalked him up as a Trump lover.

I saw the wiener mobile twice in one day in State College a few years ago. I guess it was doing a guest appearance but that’s probably what it’s always doing.

Should it be?

If you're walking along and trip on your own two feet and
fall to the floor, a friend will ask if you're ok. A good friend
will offer to help you up. A best friend will laugh at you and
ask, "Walk much, dumbass?"

Ever wonder what "Foo Fighters" are?
They're a fast moving blob.
In the 1940s, Allied pilots during the Second World War reported being hounded by fast-moving blobs, which they dubbed “foo fighters”. They were shaped like clouds, donuts, balls and spheres, and often glowing or translucent.

It really bothers me when I go to a forum here and see orange, I have to go see the new posts and turn it all blue , strange, I know but that's the way I like it

[Frayed Knot]

I'm personally shocked, SHOCKED!, to see that there was a ten year long multi-million dollar extortion, bribery, pay-to-play corruption
scheme involving 70 current and former employees at the NYC Housing Authority.
Next thing you'll be telling me is that the LIRR has a long term history of rampant and unchecked abuse of overtime at public expense.

Of course I was also the guy shocked to learn that there was gambling going on in the back room at Rick's Cafe American, so maybe it's just me.

Interesting! I always assumed it was just some reference to some
silly school cafeteria jargon and/or activity.

I scored 185 in Words with Friends with CURVIEST, hitting a double and triple word score as well as placing the V on a triple letter score.

I don't think I've ever had a Cornish game hen.

[Frayed Knot]

I had a good recipe a bunch of years ago (since lost) where you'd cook one stuffed with an Italian sausage (or some such similar item).

I knew about Charlie Pride playing baseball, but I didn’t know that on his way to a try out with the Mets in 1964, he made a detour to Nashville where he auditioned and signed a recording contract.
