I hope Hegseth winds up in solitary confinement where his only companion is an endless loop of Ivy League football

can’t spell Dale Earnhardt International without DEI 🙌🏻

15 minute horse is very charming, but probably borrows money from three hour horse

A Winston Churchill quote: Meanwhile, the House should prepare itself for hard and heavy tidings. I have only to add that nothing which may happen in this battle can in any way relieve us of our duty to defend the world cause to which we have vowed ourselves; nor should it destroy our confidence in our power to make our way, as on former occasions in our history, through disaster and through grief to the ultimate defeat of our enemies.

This Churchill-in-1940 quote also comes to mind

“Sorry, loan places, I’m looking for a different kind of keys”

There was some tweet years ago about how right after the Super Bowl ends, baseball players should come out on big floats like Santa at the end of the Thanksgiving Day parade.

My wife’s first reaction was, “Oh my god, think of how much money they saved.”

That halftime show was so good, I’m extremely pumped and jacked. Time for the Pats to go three-and-out to ruin that.

Mariah Carey is there because Long Island is technically part of Italy

My dad also told us once, “My grandparents were cousins, and they had six kids, each one dumber than the one before. But lucky for you, your grandfather was the eldest.”.

I’ve mentioned this on here, but back in the 70s, the neighbor’s idealistic college kid told my dad that people are naturally meant to be rural, close to their extended family, etc., and my dad replied, “My grandparents had that in Quebec. That’s why they came to America to work in the mills.”

Are they able to trade draft picks? That would add a little spice

Olive Oyl is wearing lipstick and Popeye doesn’t recognize her

I found the complete Popeye Newspaper strip in a used bookstore, and in February 1933, the plot was Olive Oyl puts on lipstick and no one recognizes her

Bazooka Joe Comics were also fond of last panels featuring feet

Lot going on but I’m still committed to my political goals including a) total regime change and b) getting Shanice’s “It’s for you” from the Meteor Man soundtrack on streaming

I think heaven’s HOA is gonna have a few things to say about this. Why do you think there’s no mass transit in heaven?

Who intercepts me in my expedition?

Viewing it in its totality, I agree

But you can do it now since you're a beloved institution

It truly was a New Deal

The first five headings of Kofi Awoonor’s Wikipedia page: Early life, Education, Career, Poetry, & Death

Re 1) — when this team isn’t doing something gorgeous they have no other virtues

I’m stealing this for Beavis & Butthead

The Pages of "Hop On Pop," Ranked By Our Fourteen-Month-Old Son In the matter of books, Rocco is like a rude pagan king surrounded by literate priests he neither trusts nor is yet prepared to dismiss from his service.

But not "bean" for "been"? Maybe that's just in hymns, like "O'er". For some reason this also reminded me of my favorite Daniel Lavery piece: www.thechatner.com/p/the-pages-...
