Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Do you think you'll see any Goodell Clown Nose T-shirts on TV Sunday night? You know some Patriots fans will be wearing them in the stands. Would make a good Super Bowl prop bet. I'd put the over/under at 1.5.. The power of compounding and the destructive power of taxes all in one image... Spicy Merkin Relics would be a good name for a Violent Femmes cover band... These "kids" grew up knowing Tom Brady was the GOAT...  According to Hammurabi's Code the fetus of a "superior" woman was worth 10 shekels of silver. Don't think it mattered whether the fetus was 20 weeks old or not... Heh heh... Stephen King was innocently out walking one day when he was hit by a car on the back roads of Maine. The "accident" almost killed or crippled him for life and he spent months in the hospital to recover. In his mind I would what sort of evil deeds he's done to deserve such karma?...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

The Patriots actually got more in return for Jimmy Garappolo (a 2nd Rd pick plus Brian Hoyer) than they got for trading Jamie Collins a year earlier (3rd Rd pick)... So Rand Paul was assaulted by a neighbor while Paul was mowing his lawn. Not excusing the attack but I do have to wonder just how early was Paul mowing his lawn? And who mows their lawn in November?... Inadvertently giving birth to the show Rick and Morty... "If the able and good withdraw themselves from Society [Government], the venal and ignorant will succeed." John Tyler 1783... Heh heh... Hillary Clinton's campaign manager's name was Robby Mook. She had a mook run her campaign and people were surprised she lost?... The Violent Femmes song Gone Daddy Gone has the best rock xylophone in history... Best random Halloween costume - guy wearing Red Sox jersey holding handful of losing scratch tickets - dressed as a Masshole... Can a welcome mat be viewed as an invitation to enter an unoccupied home?... Henry Miller's 11 Commandments of Writing... Just a reminder - the Red Sox magic number is now 163...

Top 5 - Karaoke Song Choices

So the other night I was in a college bar where they had a Karaoke DJ. I didn't sing because the wait was too long (not a fan of waiting for anything) but I did have a chance to look through the song book. Here's my top 5 for songs I would have sung.

1. Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet

2. Theme Song to The Love Boat (I'm a fun guy and this is a fun campy song)

3. Tom Petty - American Girl

4. Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun (bringing back my college days)

5. Monty Python - Sit on My Face (OK - maybe I'd only threaten to sing this song - but I do know the words)

Morning Music

Here's this morning's listening (and watching I guess) music selections.

- The Call - Here's to You. Appropriate to let the day begin with the "let the day begin" song.

- AC/DC - Thunderstruck. Get the testosterone flowing. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like victory.

- Violent Femmes - Gone Daddy Gone.

- The Godfathers - She Gives Me Love.

- Rhapsody in Blue
