Bag of Randomness for Thursday, January 4, 2024

  • Katt Williams was trending last night. I knew the name, but really didn’t know anything about the comedian and sometimes actor, so I pulled up his Wiki page. I read that he had eight children, and automatically slotted him as a promiscuous man with a lot of baby mamas like Nick Cannon (12 and soon to be 13 kids with six women) or Shawn Kemp (seven children with six different women.). But then I read on and saw that of those eight children, seven were adopted. I then proceeded to eat some humble pie.
  • I first heard the term “humble pie” during my junior year in high school. It was for a vocabulary test in Coach Jennings’s English class. That test also included the words “stoic” and “epitome.” Coach would always give an example of how to use the words in a sentence. For “stoic” he said, “Tom Landry was very stoic, he had an expressionless face.” I sat next to Charles Franklin. We used to make fun of Troy Aikman for not playing the complete season of his rookie year (which was four years earlier) because he broke a finger on his non-throwing hand. The Cowboys won only one game that year. It was against Washington. That’s right, Aikman didn’t win a single game in his first year. It’s funny the things you do and don’t remember.
  • Are we sure that’s not really Don Knotts?

  • Father says his daughter’s car (well, the trim) is melting in the driveway. Honda says it’s not covered by warranty
  • You know where this story is going, but I wonder why they needed so much in case – ‘It smelled so bad’: Pennsylvania couple recovers $3,550 after dog eats cash
  • Here’s a Twitter thread of college football bowl game helmets customized for the bowl the team was playing in. They claim the first time it happened was in the 1982 Cotton Bowl with the University of Texas. I would have thought it happened way before that.
  • So that’s how they did it. But then again, what was I expecting?

  • Here’s a longer version of the video with audio. You can tell that one guy in the suit hasn’t thrown many punches in his life. It looks like he didn’t know what to do and was throwing punches because he knew he would never have an opportunity like that again. One thing is for sure, he tired out quickly and then just got out of the way.https://twitter.com/bagofnothing/status/1742702926550683686
  • Elon Musk ranted about DEI on Twitter. Mark Cuban replied having a lot to say about the matter.
  • A Trump/Haley ticket just makes too much sense for it not to happen.
  • Sometimes politicians flip-flop on an issue just to garner votes or make the most of an opportunity. I don’t think that’s what Christi is doing. There’s a lot I disagree with Christi about, but overall, I like him and wouldn’t mind if he became president. That’s certainly not going to happen anytime soon.

  • Dogs for the win.
