Your Bag of Nothing for Monday, November 25, 2024

  • Curious as to why Charles Schlutz named his comic Peanuts, because I always thought it was a horrible name, this was the best I could find:
    • A different name for the comic strip became necessary after legal advice confirmed that Little Folks was a registered trademark.[12] Meanwhile, the production manager of UFS noted the popularity of the children’s program Howdy Doody. The show featured an audience of children who were seated in the “Peanut Gallery”, and were referred to as “Peanuts”. This inspired the decided title that was forced upon Schulz, to his consternation. Schulz hated the title Peanuts, which remained a source of irritation to him throughout his life. He accused the production manager at UFS of not having even seen the comic strip before giving it a title, and he said that the title would only make sense if there was a character named “Peanuts”.
  • Texas QB Quinn Ewers will have an MRI on his banged-up ankle today. There’s a chance Arch Manning may have to start against Little Brother A&M. That makes things interesting. But, from a coaching standpoint, I’m sure Sark, like any other coach, will keep it vague so that A&M has to spend time preparing for both quarterbacks. Not that they wouldn’t anyways, but not as much.


    Little Brother’s head coach with the Freudian slip was pretty funny last week. And yes, they did lose to underdog Auburn because they are A&M.

  • I try my best to ask my friends how their spouses are doing and to say hello to me. But I’m not too fond of it when they are married to someone whose name has various spellings, like Derrick and Sheryl. While I remember their spouse’s name, I can’t remember how it’s spelled for the life of me. A few times, I’ve been vehemently rebuffed.
  • I saw the LA Rams last night honored the St. Louis Rams Superbowl winning team. I’m sure that was awkward for both the fans and the team being celebrated.
  • Saquon Barkley is the best player in the NFL, even better than that QB in KC. The Giants didn’t utilize him to the best of his ability, but Kellen Moore sure does know what to do with him.
  • I’m rooting and predicting a Detroit and Buffalo Super Bowl.
  • I think I’m going to the Stars game this Sunday. The Cowboys won’t be playing and it’s in the middle of the afternoon. Best of all, my daughter wants to go.
  • I had to look up if Bill Cosby was still in jail. He’s not. But, he has certainly kept a very low profile.
  • After posting that new Star Trek video, I went into a Star Trek wormhole. I wasn’t aware there is something called the Star Trek Kelvin Timeline.
  • Dirty play.
