I read this as Harry Potter and the Death of Princess Di, and was thinking I do not remember that one at all.

They are all pretty bad. One thing I will say about McConnell, he might be more honest than Ryan in the fact that he is pretty open about how bad he is. Ryan in the past has tried to seem like he can be somewhat reasonable, when really all along his life time goal is to gut social security and enforce some Ayn Rand philosophy (even though he himself befitted from social security as a young man). Plus he seems to have the spine of a jelly fish and is careful to not say anything with much conviction so it cannot be used against him later. I think he might be more fake than McConnell, but really we are comparing vermin and slugs at this point. Part of the reason Trump is so out of control is that none of these people would speak up early in the game to try and keep him in check, but they were more concerned about their personal career rather than what was best for the country or even their own party. I read a statement that we had safeguards for a bad president, but nothing for when Congress is also complicit.

You should have followed safe biking and worn a helmet to protect from bicycling transmitted diseases.

I preferred when the non-game conversation was more Star Trek related, I am not sure I want to know where this is heading - although I sense an ish (or ick).

And look where that brought us and what we are doing now...

I should not have taken the extra time to figure out how to do the cross out font.

He was pretty fortunate - but he had to worry about the crystals, so he did not have it too easy. One of my favorite part of Galaxy Quest was they were always worried about "Guy" getting killed because he was basically a red shirt in their series.

I have problems with them, but I think it is from watching the original Star Trek series growing up. I wonder which player is not not going to survive the episode game.

I don't think that kind of layered and nuanced voice work cannot be taught. It is a gift.

Wasn't that pic taken when he realized someone replaced his 2% with skim? No one messes with his milk.

It really should be the tagline next to your avatar - although it is pretty obvious that it does not need to be spelled out.

My hometown only had a cafe and an A&W (which was only open in the summer). That is why we had to do our fine dining in Ely or Virginia. I think Andy Griffith also might have been our sheriff.

I am hoping the offense is not at their mid-season form.

That describes evenings out in the big town of Virginia. That also was where the nearest McDonalds was and their movie theater was open on weekdays unlike Ely's, so you had more than two days to see a movie before it was replaced by something else. Although to be fair, I think Star Wars might have played in Ely for more than one weekend.

I remember when Ely got a Pizza Hut (back when you ate at the Pizza Hut) it was a really big thing. There was already a Dairy Queen so it was living large when you had two choices of where to go after the movie (there was a theater too - although the movie often broke down, and I think there might have been rats - in the theater not Pizza Hut).

I bet Morrison is jealous.

I remember watching the repeats after school growing up. Some really clever stuff - loved Fractured Fairy Tales as well.

It was actually a ménage à trois.

I do 62 at night and have it turn up to 65 about an hour before I get up. Depending on what I am doing, will either leave it at 65 or put it up to 68. I am in an older place with radiators, so no central air, but window unit keeps it to 80ish if necessary so the fish don't die a horrific death. At this point I am not sure it is going to be above 50 again, so that might not be an issue any longer.

I have posted this before - but for a long time I read RiverBrian as RiverBrain, which I suppose is fitting in its own way.

I am sure 99.99 % of Mauer wants Morrison to do well to help the team, but I wonder if there is a very, very small part of him thinking, maybe they will ask me back to play first base next year.

Eddie McClurg was everywhere for awhile. She was really good in that type of role. Although I just realized recently she was in Carrie, playing the oldest teenager this side of late seasons Richie Cunningham.

I am pretty good at being in denial a lot of the time.

WKRP for the Thanksgiving episode alone is worthy of a mention. They just started playing it again on one of the antenna TV channels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf3mgmEdfwg

I was really thrown when occasionally he would go "Book him Kono". It was on after my bed time, but I loved the wave, so I would sneak out of my bedroom when I thought they were about to have a commercial break to watch the wave from down the hall way. I am now starting to think my childhood was perhaps a little pathetic.
