Box wine was invented in Australia. Aussies call it “goon.”

Ironically, this stuff just makes me more labyrinthian.

Cats!

That’s the one where Holbrook’s character is a nationally known hydraulics expert who has no use for hydraulics personally because of his tremendous lifting strength.

You don’t hear much about Beer Can Island either now that they got that abandoned yacht out of there.

Ripken dodges another bullet.

Eva, Zsa Zsa and the lesser-known Magda Gabor had a combined 19 husbands. It would be 20 but George Sanders was a husband to Zsa Zsa and then later Magda.

Just thinking…. My guess is Carleton could buy the state of Iowa with its endowment. Maybe filter a little of that over to beefing up the NIL bullpen budget in ’27?

I’m picturing someone in authority telling them they’re not leaving the table until they smoke that pile of cigarettes down to the filters. The guy is saying enough is enough with the smokes and the gal is resigned to completing the task but isn’t looking forward to it.

22 walks, 8 HBP…. Starter pulled after a rocky 1st, then the next dude gave up six runs without recording an out. Third guy scattered seven hits and 10 runs over the remainder of the second inning to put out the fire.

Perennial contender as I remember it.

First he has to complete that North Shore shoot with the bear, a canoe and a can of Old Milwaukee.

As a kid my brother was walking on top of a fence then slipped and landed straddling the fence. My mom worried he’d ruptured himself. (He did not). First time I’d heard the word. For weeks, I reminded my brother to be careful about everything. “You don’t want to rupture yourself again.”

Decades ago I vaguely remember a Kottke show where he tells us about giving his wife the Heimlich maneuver at a restaurant (I think) and how he wondered — while applying the maneuver — how he would classify the sound she made in terms of where it landed on a musical scale. Masterfully delivered.

I see ambivalence delivered every step of the way with this dipshit.

If this turkey was just a normal human dude we’d be pissed about his/her inability to see a global goal and then focus.

My son is so based.

Video of someone attempting that kind of precision for coffee would bother me. If it was real life I’d have to go into another room and turn on the TV really loud.

Cowards putt a thousand times before their deaths. The valiant have better short games.

Beware the Guides of Starch

Whenever I hear “hammered dulcimer,” I think “drunk boring dude” and there is very little I can do about it.

Anger makes the heart grow Fonda

The dude with the dog has the EXACT same facial expression as his dog.

So go to the roof of a tall building next to what might be the Empire State Building and pretend you work at a bank being held up.

Near as I can tell, John Wayne never played a character named “Calhoun.” This news is as surprising as it is disappointing.

Eminembers

Third-person “yours truly” reference invariably shames those who say it out loud.

Obvious guess is Camels for bar fly Reptile Ron’s brand of smokes but I’m not sleeping on Parliaments. He might be a contrarian on stuff like that. When you think Reptile Ron is going to zig, he’ll often zag.

Marcus Mariota seems an obvious candidate

Plus, Martin and Nick’s first band…(rare reunion)
