Never underestimate the average American's math skills...
In the 1980s, A&W sold a one-third-pound burger for about the same price as McDonald’s Quarter Pounder. A third of a pound is actually more meat than a quarter pound.
But sales were disappointing. According to Taubman, focus groups finally revealed the problem: more than half of participants questioned why they should pay the same price for 1/3 pound as 1/4 pound. They treated “3” as smaller than “4,” so 1/3 looked smaller than 1/4.
Decades later, A&W joked about the famous flop. In 2021, it brought the burger back under a new name: The 3/9-Pound Burger. Same one-third pound. Just bigger-looking numbers.
Focus groups organized by former owner A. Alfred Taubman revealed that more than half of participants thought 1/3 was smaller than 1/4 because "3 is less than 4". The Consumer backlashwas significant. Shoppers felt cheated, believing they were being overcharged for a smaller quantity of beef.

This is obviously from a guy raised by two mothers in a house with a lot of flowers and five cats all named 'Fluufy'.
BB guns and air rifles could soon be heavily restricted under a planned federal law. Representative Kevin Mullin of California (a joy-sucking Dimocrat, of course)introduced a bill to hold airgun owners to the same standard as firearms owners. Mullin put forward the bill after the death of a constituent using an airgun. Airguns can range from low-power BB and pellet guns to weapons that rival a .22 long rifle in impact.
Under Mullin’s proposal, potentially lethal airguns would be designated as firearms. Paintball and airsoft guns unlikely to cause serious injury would be excluded from the regulation. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives would be required to send airgun manufacturers notice on how to comply with the rule.
This means prospective airgun buyers would be subject to a background check to weed out those with felony convictions or mental health conditions. The rule would be called Garrett’s Law in honor of Garrett Edwards, who committed suicide using an airgun. Garrett’s mother, Ann Edwards, said in a press release that he was able to buy an airgun on Amazon 'while in psychosis'.
I guess this is here because I bought one a while back.
When I got my dentures, the Doc told me that I
should start flossing to keep them in shape. Well,
I have never flossed (knowingly) but this thing is
terrific and real easy to use. Take my word for it.
This ain't West Side Story. That's a real Shark. In the middle of the street...
A shark was seen swimming in the nor’easter-flooded streets of New Jersey this weekend - but thankfully a “harmless” one without sharp teeth. A local filmed the fish in the floodwaters in Surf City on Saturday, with video showing its dorsal fin poking through the surface near a woman’s driveway. as seen in a video posted online. “Is that a little shark?” a woman asks in the clip. “Oh my God, he’s coming this way.” Thankfully, the shark appears to be a “harmless” dogfish, a type of shark common to the area and one without sharp teeth, according to Dr. Greg Skomal, a white shark expert with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries.
The shark reportedly swam up the resident’s home on Long Beach Island as Barnegat Bay flooded over in Surf City, which was inundated with as much as four feet of water this weekend. The nor’easter caused widespread flooding along the East Coast, with winds up to 70 mph knocking out power for thousands.
I don't know much, but I do know she's got a huge ass...
I'm not a fan, in fact I've never heard a single thing she ever said, let alone sing, and the only think I really do know about her is that it appears she has a humongous butt. All that being said, I give her a ton of credit for standing up for herself and her convictions.
Nicki Minaj has spent years as one of the biggest and most controversial stars in the music business, or so I've heard, but after becoming an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump, some entertainment coverage is suddenly putting a political spin on old stories about her past - including cosmetic procedures she publicly discussed years ago.
The latest example comes from BollywoodShaadis (an an Indian digital entertainment and lifestyle publisher focused on celebrity news, pop culture, and wedding trends, as if anyone gives a fuck), which published a headline claiming Minaj “Illegally Got Butt Injections” and allegedly spent $155,000 on plastic surgery for a “MAGA look.”
Her cosmetic procedures and appearance were also covered by entertainment outlets years before her current Trump support.
What is new is Minaj’s increasingly public alignment with Trump. She appeared at a conservative Turning Point USA event in late 2025 praising Trump and Vice President JD Vance, and in January 2026 appeared with Trump while promoting his “Trump Accounts” initiative.
Her political turn has generated both praise and backlash, including jokes about her at the 2026 Grammy Awards, because Hollywood types are fuckin' sheep who will eat their young to get a laugh.
Good for you, Nicki.
PS: My cat's name is Nikki. Granted, I got her long before I ever heard of you, but there ya go. Juss' sayin'...

Yesterday it was 86 and gorgeous - not a cloud in the sky. This morning I woke up to 52 degrees. Having slept with the window open, it was kinda challenging to get out of bed. Now, Monday is bringing the kind of weather that makes us check the sky, check the radar, and still have absolutely no idea what happens next.
South Florida starts warm and humid with scattered showers and thunderstorms, while Central Florida gets a classic mix of clouds, sunshine, and sudden downpours. North Florida may feel a little cooler early, but afternoon humidity quickly reminds everyone that fall has not exactly taken over yet. Along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, breezes keep things moving while passing showers turn sunny sidewalks into puddle zones in minutes.
By evening, the rain may disappear just as quickly as it arrived, leaving warm pavement, glowing sunsets, and palm trees shaking off the storm. In Florida, Saturday plans don’t get canceled - they simply come with a backup plan, an umbrella, and the understanding that the weather is the only entity capale of making the schedule.
Can we really do it again? Pray to god not...
Buzz over a White House run by democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is exploding, with the dim bulb from New York actually being compared to former President Barack Obama bby some coffee shop doofuses.
“If she raises her hand, the number of volunteers will be nothing like we’ve seen since 2007,” Robert Wolf, the longtime Democratic donor who hosted Obama’s first fundraiser in New York, said during a conversation on The Hill Insider’s Fight for 2028. Wolf continued, “The young people are going to come out in droves, and I think it would literally change the field overnight. And if she doesn’t run, then it’s going to be a totally different race.”
Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez last week said she’s looking at making a run for president in 2028. “There’s an argument that some make that this is a very unique political window and, oftentimes in politics, you do only get one shot,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told the New York Times. AOC continued, “And you don’t - and just in life in general - life doesn’t wait for you to be ready for things. Sometimes life just makes things ready for you.”
Ocasio-Cortez could also run for the US Senate from New York. As bad as that sounds, it is in the country's best interest that she goes for Chuckie's throat instead of the White House.

Ya see things like this and ya think 'Yeah - they should be able to do that, right?', and then ya realize all that shit is just pie-in-the-sky nonsense. If they could do it, it'd been done a long time ago.

I would never want to bite the hand that feeds me (so to speak),
but I certainly do find this interesting...
When Google - the host provider of this platform - tells me that something I've posted on the blog violates their set of community standards - that something they oppose is an item that I got from a Google search. That's a real head-scratcher, wouldn'tja say?

Within walking distance of my house, there were probably seven stores just like that one. I honestly don't remember going to any kinda 'supermarket' until I was maybe seven or thereabouts. The funny thing? All of those stores were spotless, and every one smelled exactly the same - probably because all of 'em had a bakery right next door.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has warned that the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence could create unprecedented risks if powerful AI tools fall into the hands of people with malicious intent. Speaking on Meet the Press, Gates said AI is already powerful enough to drive events that could cause a billion deaths and argued that governments need to work together to establish safeguards against potentially catastrophic misuse.
If ya ask me, this is another dodge on his part
so nobody talks about Epstein and him.

Have you ever tried one of these?
Use that water for your coffee or tea or whatever you need boiling water for.
Juss' sayin' - I like it. Click on the picture and get one for yourself.
This one is under$ 25.00, but the one Barb bought last year cost over $ 40.00,
and they both do the same exact thing.

Golf carts are a lifestyle choice...
Not 'multi-modal' roads like the one above where motor vehicles and carts 'share' the road. I say 'share' because when you get behind one of these old farts and his wife in their golf cart and they're travelling at a leisurely three miles an hour and you can't pass them for fear of them doing something stupid like pulling in to a driveway on the left side without using their turn signals, which none of them ever fuckin' do, except for the guys who used it once three days ago and it's still fuckin' on, but that's a story for another rant.
Unless your golf cart is certified street-legal, you will need to stay on golf cart trails or in a designated golf cart lane. With the addition of the bridges over highway 44 and the turnpike, all areas of The Villages are golf cart accessible. Paper maps are available at The Villages mercantile shops at each of the three squares. But they can be difficult to read. There are two apps for your smartphone that can help you navigate one is free and the other one is $7. Villages GPS has a one-time charge of $6.99 and can direct you to golf courses, rec centers, town squares and country clubs.

For the love of the fallen...
Say what you will about 'typical New Yorkers', these 40,000+ showed they still care 25 years on. The took part in the 25th annual Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk NYC on today. The sold-out event honors FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller and those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001.
The Tunnel to Towers organization is above board, and they do great work with the money they raise. They help with medical bills, pay off home mortgages for the families of those who have served and died in the line of duty, and many more great things they do, with none of the donations wasted, like some other so-called 'charities' - I dont need to name them
You can do your part and contribute to the organization by clicking on HERE. The New York Post has a gallery of three dozen other pics from the event on their website.
I guess this is here because I bought one a while back.
When I got my dentures, the Doc told me that I
should start flossing to keep them in shape. Well,
I have never flossed (knowingly) but this thing is
terrific and real easy to use. Take my word for it.
