At this point, I genuinely have no idea what you folks are talking about, or what (if anything) it may have to do with football.

But both at the same time?

Yeah, that looks all right. Much better than a hot dog.

You'll have to tell me about the Jazz.

The Jazz played reasonably well tonight, considering they didn't have Rudy Gobert (injury) or Gordon Hayward (Celtics). They played the Thunder pretty tight in the first half, trailing only by four at halftime. But in the second half a combination of hot shooting by Oklahoma City, cold shooting by the Jazz, and absolutely no offensive rebounding whatsoever by the Jazz ultimately gave the game to the Thunder.

If it is, nobody in power is looking at it.

Baseball on television is one of the more uninteresting things about American life.

Baseball in person is actually a pretty great way to spend an afternoon or evening.

NT: Signs that your kid's school's Winter Break is entirely too long.

They don't remember anything from before the break when they come back. "I'm sorry, what was your name again?"

What does that even mean?

Whips & chains 

Good for music (Pink Floyd), not good for health care.

Loquacious much? 

Going to see the Jazz and Thunder tonight.

Q: What is something that fans of 31 NFL teams all agree upon?

A: Of course it was!

What do you mean, the Queen's English, or the American version?

Where?

Mel Blanc vs. Frank Oz 

We actually got a lecture as part of our beginning of year inservice meetings a couple of years back about using the InstaCare. They said that the widespread use of InstaCare facilities by District employees was driving up our healthcare costs, and that our insurance premiums were going to increase as a result. They specifically told us, "Don't go to the InstaCare if you don't have to."

What?
