Your Bag of Nothing for Tuesday, September 17, 2024

  • I was made aware of a typo or mistake in yesterday’s post, which I think is pretty funny. Yesterday, I wrote:“I don’t expect to change their minds, but I think they would be impressed by his thoughts, actually, his defense, of the Apollo 8 crew reading the first ten chapters of Genesis in December 1968 as they circled around the moon.”Of course, I meant to say the first ten lines of the first chapter of Genesis. Reading the first ten chapters would have been overkill.
  • I don’t understand why car radios don’t have a rewind or other similar DVR features. I’m not saying it should be legally mandated, but I’m surprised it’s not something standard in all vehicles like cruise control. Sometimes, I don’t catch something and want to rewind a little bit to hear it again. I’d be happy with just a 15 or 30-second rewind. I know some 2020 GMC, Chevrolet, Buick, and Cadillac vehicles offered the ability to pause for 15 minutes.
  • The popular men’s hairstyle of the 1950s was called the Ducktail.
  • Bon Jovi may have saved a life last week, but there’s never been a bigger poser than saying he was a cowboy. He grew up in Jersey.
  • People’s sneezes are either loud or frequent, but not both.
  • Watching movies just isn’t as thrilling as it used to be without the FBI warning me they would be taking me to jail.
  • Is there Narcan for the meat sweats you get gorging on great BBQ?
  • I had a friend that would whisper “bitch” every time she killed a mosquito biting her.
  • For some reason, “everytime” is not considered an acceptable compound word, yet everywhere, everyday, and everyone is. At least that’s according to my spellcheck.
  • People always take things the wrong way when it’s prefaced with, “Don’t take this the wrong way.”
  • I’ve watched this Tom and Jerry cartoon a plethora of times as kid. But now watching it a single time as a 49-year-old, I had no idea how sad and dark it is.

  • Packers QB opts not to throw on key down after center throws up on the ball
    • Maybe it’s just me, but I didn’t like the way this headline and the article were written. They seemed to imply that the quarterback wouldn’t touch the ball because it was yucky. But the quarterback still had to take the snap; there was no way for him to avoid touching it. He just ran with the ball on a pass play instead of throwing it. I’m assuming he chose not to throw because the ball was hard to grip. The article also didn’t mention if the team could have asked for an official timeout that wouldn’t have taken one away from the team. Back in the day, players could openly bleed and stay in the game, but now that’s considered a biohazard, and players must leave the field and get the wound covered to come back in. So, in this case, the ball is a biohazard. The officials would have stopped the clock to exchange the ball. At least, I think they would.
  • There’s still a lot of college football to be played, but it has to bug diehard Aggie fans that they have been in the SEC for 12 years and never been ranked number one in football, yet their biggest rival did it in their first three weeks in the conference. In other related news, a Longhorn is calling on other Longhorns to help out an Aggie family in need.

  • I would hate living a life like this. Also, it’s one thing to record yourself. It’s another thing to record yourself recording yourself.
