It's hard to root for the guys from your favorite team when they won't let 'em wear the uniforms...

 Who's the friggin' genius who came up with the idea 
of not letting the players wear their team's uniform 
in the All-Star Game?  

 
I can't get my head around the fact that somebody somewhere thought that allegiance to a league is somehow so much more important than hometown team loyalty. 
Here's an interesting stat: On July 13, 1971, one out of every four households with a television in America was watching the All-Star Game. Of all the televisions on in the country, 50 percent of them were tuned in.
Hardly nobody watches the friggin' game anymore. Juss' sayin'...

Did I not just comment on this the other day?

It's an interesting thing that you rarely - if ever - hear any stories or reports about shark attacks on humans in the Carribbean. Maybe we all just taste better up here.

So, I was making chicken cutlets the other night and all 
of a sudden I'm nostalgic for Jersey. Came out of nowhere.
That's pretty cool, isn't it? I swear to god I did not cut it into 
that shape. It's just the way it fried up after I pounded it out 
and breaded it.

How'dja like to have been one of the Girls dressed as appliances 
at the Los Angeles Electrical Exposition of 1936?

These models must have had a hard time finding work back in the '30's. Remember them  the next time you’re having a bad day at work, and tell yourself this: At least you’re not the gal dressed as a big light globe and standing on a steep ramp at the Los Angeles Electrical Exposition of 1936. 
On the plus side, nobody would be able to see your embarrassment, which is more than can be said for Miss Vacuum Cleaner right there in the front.

What kinda bad kharma do you have to have 
to have something like this happen to your business?

Police have been investigating for weeks and evidently (no pun intended) they have not been able to come up with a single idea of how the drugs got in to the packets of soy sauce. I know I'm personally allergic to MSG, but this shit is crazy.

Have a birthday or other special event
 coming up soon? Maybe you need to find
 a gift for someone special. How about this?

The Marine Corps is without a Commandant because Sen. Tommy Tuberville is pissed off that the Corps allows women soldiers time off to travel for abortions. You can't make this shit up.

They're having an 'Inflatable strap-on dick fight'.
I'm sure there were no 'substances' involved...
... 

It's good to know that CNN is finally getting it's shit together and starting to report on seriuosly important shit. Can you get a mental picture of the guy with the Darth vader voice saying that headline? It's probably scare the crap outta ya, right? 
 

Here's the article. Pity the poor reporter who got that assignment:

  1. About the 1971 All Star Game; I watched it! Amazing team, my Oakland A's had Reggie and Vida Blue representing and all of us kids from the Bay Area were very much into the little team from Oakland. Good Times. https://www.baseball-almanac.com/asgbox/yr1971as.shtml

  2. "Hardly nobody watches the friggin' game anymore."
    All pro sports these days consist of too many overpaid, woke crybabies.
    More people are becoming aware of that fact.
    Personally, I enjoy the sports I do myself.

  3. We're normally on the same page, but I strongly disagree with this one. Amazing the number of things military members had to take leave to do for decades and NOT have the travel expenses covered. I could go on and on about all the things military members have to take leave to do and then had to eat the unpaid travel; things that actually benefited the Marine Corps brand. But more amazing is that SecDef Austin has nailed the promotions of 250 potential one-star generals and admirals and above, and up to 650 by the end of the year to official, paid military reimbursement for travel onto the cross of military-financed killing of babies in the womb. Austin has literally said screw these flag officers. We're promoting abortions or promoting nothing.

    1. You may be wrong on this point. But. The point I was trying to make is that they're injecting politics into the military

    2. Read the articles on the hold. They all include a line about Tuberville doing it because of Austin providing travel reimbursement on abortion leave. Also, the politics injection happened when the biden administration, through Austin, thumbed their noses at congress by putting the abortion travel reimbursement in place after congress defunded Planned Parenthood. I've followed this for some time. It's not as simple as the Tuberville just getting his nickers in a wad.

  4. The tipping cartoon was unrealistic. The girl (Although I don't want to assume gender) had neither purple hair NOR armpit hair.

  5. I picked up 2 bags of coffee in the Starbucks at UTC, took them to the counter to pay and the squirt at the till expected a tip! As they say in Northern Ireland 'Aye, right'.
