I'm probably up too late, but that was extra funny given that I got up, went downstairs to grab my reading glasses, then came back up here just to read that.   
 
 

The salesman at the furniture store told me, “This sofa will seat 5 people without any problems".
 
I said, “Where the hell am I going to find 5 people without any problems?”

Bob Costas pointed out, during an MLB Network braodcast, that at one point this year, the D'Backs were 15-13.  Since then...7-44.  So 7-43 for 50 games.  Can't find if this is a record worst or not, but the complement...a 43-7 or better stretch has only happened twice.  In 1906 and 1912.  Dodgers ran off a 42-8 outburst in 2013;  other than that, 40-10 hasn't happened since 1977.
 
Stretching things out, the lowest numbers of wins in the 162-game season era are 47 (2018 Orioles, 2019 Tigers but they only played 161);  the 2003 Tigers at 43, and the poster child for utter baseball ineptitude, the 1962 Mets.  D'backs are on pace for ~ 45.
 
Looking at it:  I find it interesting that this will make a third team to lose 70+% of their games in 3 full seasons, if that pace continues.  Maybe it's coincidence, but I think it's pattern, to a degree.  Bad teams, and the D'backs, Tigers, and Orioles have all been bad for several years, have a harder time keeping anyone good, and this process might be getting worse.
 
 
Mmm...nope.  Rockies have a bad road record but they win games here and there.  Lose 6, win 1;  lose 5, win 1;  lose 1, win 1;  lose 5, win 1, since the start of May.  You might be thinking of the Orioles;  they lost 20 in a row, but won Saturday.  Rangers had a 15 game road losing streak, but I believe that one's over too.
 
EDIT:  not that you're that far off, as the Rockies have the worst road record *by a mile* even with the D'back losing streak.  They're currently 6-31 (.162);  D'backs are 10-33 (.232).
 
Further, I suspect the Rockies will likely at least approach the most extreme home/road difference.  They're 26-16 at home;  that's .619.  That's VERY good.  OK, I'm pretty sure that this has been a pattern of theirs, but I dunno if it's been THIS bad.

And they could do so again, following that kind of pattern and concept.  Batman should be a detective, not a martial artist with a plan. "World's Greatest Detective" and all that.  That animated series is the best thing that has ever been put on screen for Batman.  They got the character right, they understood the setting.

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

Final Wars just felt like Godzilla meets the Power Rangers. And the bad guy's reactions evertime Big G defeats the other monsters makes me laugh, since it is so over the top spoiled brat.

I have some of the Skor minis in my freezer right now, along with a bunch of fancier chocolate bars.
 
We started putting chocolate in the freezer when I was a kid growing up in Central Florida, and I've continued to do it now that I live in Las Vegas. My Mom started doing it to avoid having chocolate melt before it could be eaten.

Did you know, thanks to a very old law that is still in place nobody living in London is allowed to be buried there? 
 
Apparently, you need to be dead first.

Its youtubes lack of taste and decorum combined with the relentless and incessant stupidity of twitter. A potent stew of evil and depravity indeed.
