Oh, great, now they'll read this and start setting deadlines for Thursdays...

On the other hand, the architecture along Airline Highway just north of I-12 in Baton Rouge doesn't hold a candle to that in Budapest...

Check out the (short) list of other Cabinet members from Oregon. It's not an impressive group...

Possibly, but the Hennepin County suburb she lives in likely isn't...

It took me a moment to figure out you meant Greg, not Bud, Abbott...

Yikes! The last win during my time was October 1984.

There's also a layperson from CatholicVote (the former head of which is now Trump's ambassador to the Vatican), but I didn't see any other Catholic groups at all. Lot of influencers and self-titled groups, though. (And McKinley lost 26 straight in football to finish my high school years.)

I thought it was one, but it turns out Frank Pavone of Priests for Life was laicized in 2022, so you're completely correct that it's none! Give yourself a gold star and treat yourself to the Mr. Gatti's buffet at Perkins and Essen that I used to visit after football games (nearly all losses).

From "Wild Rebels": "And we can't go straight up. Remember when we tried that?"

Here's a question for everyone: out of the hundreds of people reading sections of the Bible at this event this week, how many are Catholic priests or bishops.

Post your guesses below. I'll provide the answer late this evening.

See, this only came about because the Muppaphones unionized and left Marvin Suggs...

Baseball helmet bowl from short-lived Grand Slams cereal. Kept that Twins helmet for years until the logo wore off.

I'm kind of amazed that Shakespeare on Ice hasn't come to pass in real life. (And I live in Portland; you'd think it would have happened here by now! Maybe the Lloyd Center can do it before closing in early August...)

Directed by Roger Corman, among others...

Hey, that's my district! I met someone organizing for Carpenter at No Kings last month.

Ever seen a DEFA film?

At least you get some meaning when the Apostle Paul hands you a sentence this long...

Quoth the Rooster, "Where's the floor?!"

I still quote lines from it about Abu Dhabi being full of kittens or Kung Fu Creatures on the Rampage...dos!

Without saying your age, post your favorite film that released the year you turned 18.

(This shows in Portland at least once a year; later this month it's the Academy Theater's turn.)

Definitely first class, and more traveling. My wife doesn't like the cramped seats in economy and she'd likely be much happier in first (or perhaps those planned relax rows one airline is planning).

She got lost in the wild streets of Hilltop, didn't she?

Amistad (1997)

Yeah, definitely true for Heathers. I shouldn't identify with J.D. as much as I occasionally do...

(raises hand, ready to regale the uninterested with stories of having only three channels to watch and walking uphill both ways to school, despite living in hill-deprived south Louisiana)

Giving the 2026 Portland Fire the chance to be the WNBA's first three-umlaut roster ever!

Considering the Pope went to Villanova, I figure it'll be a pretty easy call...

(squirts with fire extinguisher)

Great minds (yours and my wife's) think alike! (I'm just along for the ride...)

There's a reason why the Pope warned us not to trust the CIA...
