Yesterday a Talking Heads song came on the radio and my mind flashed back to that time in Government Class in high school when a guy started singing the chorus. All these years later it still makes me smile.

You may run like Mayes but you hit like _____.

I’m fairly certain you’ll get your wish soon.

This is the most money I’ve ever paid to attend a little league game.

Thanks Hank! 😉

I need to remember to grab a picture of my boot camp company commander from our yearbook. Dude was a complete doppleganger for the Wonder Years dad. Dude put a lot of fear in me.

Please no. First game in years that my wife and I are attending.

Fun fact: if you have a lit candle near the area where you're cutting onions, you won't cry. Follow me for more tips.

This might get more traction if it were in General Discussion vs the Political Forum. I can relocate it if you'd like.

It's great for yard work because they don't fall out of your ears as you move around. As I understand it, they're also better for your ears because they don't push air. Long term loud listening can definitely cause damage but these can't go too loud otherwise they start vibrating and it's annoying. They're loud enough that I can listen at reasonable volumes and enjoy all the nuances of the music/podcast.

Off topic sort of because I am listening....with these: https://shokz.com/products/openrun?variant=41378978267336 Words cannot describe how happy I am with these earbuds. Granted they don't sound as good as an expensive in-ear set (we're talking the really high end stuff), but they're really nice for being able to be able to communicate and hear the outside world while out walking/bicycling etc. We walked around the zoo last week and I was able to have music playing AND listen to my wife go on and on and on and on about....well whatever she was going on and on and on about.

Or what if they were dealing with a kidnapping issue?

I recall a story of Ted at an all star game and all the players he spoke with mentioned that all an elderly Ted wanted to talk about was hitting.

Let it go. Let it go.

On another note, about once a year I get a class action settlement notice from somewhere and I always enter it because "why not". I've received payments from all of them; one for $5 and another was well over $100. So, again, why not? https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/15/tech/facebook-internet-tracking-settlement/index.html

What in the actual....... ETA: https://www.ghlinks.com.gh/who-is-qashontae-short-michigan-woman-who-has-history-of-filing-frivolous-lawsuits/

Ohh!!!! Nice. The Emerald City sceens have to look amazing with all that green. I need to watch this in 4k. As an aside, I always remember our friend Ed Goldsworthy despised this movie and insisted that people only liked it because of childhood memories. Good ol Ed! I miss that guy.

Which leads me to another thought: why is it called jet black hair? I have never seen a black jet.

And because I realize I open myself up to retorts about the princess, it is actually for my wife who has jet black hair and is not fond of sitting in the sun in July. But all that aside we are looking to go to the Wednesday tigers and Padres game

I was actually looking for the Tigers den because the princess need shade

Where is the best place, besides StubHub, to buy Tigers tickets? I got screwed by StubHub and have zero interest in ever using their service again.

I'm partial to Killed by Death myself.

I ain’t falling for that.
