Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

If I ran a casino I'd have an NBA prop bet on who will have the worst season-long shooting percentage - Russell Westbrook or Ben Simmons. Two former All-Stars who seemingly have had their skills fall off a cliff... Kids today will never know the joy of Saturday morning cartoons and how much my generation looked forward to them all week... This time of year it's possible to go into almost any house party uninvited if you're wearing a mask. Happy Halloween! If anyone says anything say you're there with uncle Mike - almost everyone has an uncle Mike... The CDC (Center for Disease Control) since it is funded by federal tax dollars really should be called the American Center for Disease Control. Yes I am advocating for a name change to the ACDC... I'm disturbed by what seems to be a growing trend of people keeping raccoons as pets. What's wrong with these people?... History nugget: When Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet in Manilla in 1898 - he only lost 1 US sailor. To heat-stroke... Always remember that the word "listen" contains the same letters as the word "silent." To truly listen you should be silent... Funny because some people actually think these things are true!... Political dirty trick I'm not advocating but thinking it would work. During rush hour have five or six cars festooned with your rivals name continuously circle a busy traffic rotary preventing people who are trying to get to work from entering the rotary. Those people will remember your rivals name on election day but not in a good way. Repeat the stunt a couple of times and the election is in the bag... Las Vegas must love both the Packers and Buccaneers. Each week it seems those two teams destroy most people's NFL money line parlays and teasers - making tons of money for the house. Stay away from those two teams the rest of the season (he said to himself)... As always if this column has made you smile or think - don't be afraid to hit the like button.
