Your Bag of Nothing for Monday, November 4, 2024

  • I’m sorry for the lack of posts last week.
  • I voted on Friday. I was in and out in about ten minutes. Electronic voting is no longer an option. There wasn’t an option to do single-party voting, which I miss. I was instructed to turn off my phone and put it away. The longest part of the whole process was filling in the roughly square centimeter box next to the candidate I was voting for. It’s kinda like a Scan Tron we used in high school, but the boxes are much larger. They always give you a ballpoint pen to do this, and it takes forever. I wish a pencil could be used, but I’m sure they want the ink because it’s permanent, and there’s no question of who you voted for. But, could they at least give us a felt-tip pen to fill those things in faster?
  • Tuesday can’t get here fast enough. I can only hear Collin Allred tell me he played football at Baylor so many times.
  • Channel surfing on November 1, I noticed three separate channels aired nothing but Christmas movies.
  • I saw SMU is now ranked 13th in the AP. I never thought I’d see the day.
  • In 1889, Ingersoll Lockwood wrote short adventures about a boy who could time travel named Baron Trump. Baron Trump lived in NYC in a palace on 5th Ave. His mentor was a man referred to as “The Don.” Lockwood also wrote a dystopian novel called “The Last President.” It’s about a populist leader who is elected President and kicks off the destruction of the US.
  • In this Lin-Manuel Mirando interview, he says that if he were forced to play Hamilton again at a moment’s notice, he’d remember about 70% of the lyrics.
  • In an Instagram post Friday night, Chappell Roan shared a throwback Twitter post from 2011, when she still went by her birthname, Kayleigh Amstutz.Here she is playing The Pink Pony Club in front of a small crowd before she was famous just trying to get people interested in her music. I don’t know much about the girl, but I’m just really happy for her that she got to play that song she wrote before hitting it big on SNL.

    And, she killed it. I loved the “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!” she adlibbed at the end to make her dream of yelling that iconic phrase from that stage come true.

  • If you are an SNL fan, this Vogue article on the woman who runs the wig department will interest you.
  • I have a new favorite quarterback to watch in college football. Walter Payton had this reputation for not running out of bounds and taking a hit to pick up additional yards. The game has softened up to protect quarterbacks, who are always taught to slide and protect their bodies. This guy says screw all that and runs over an Aggie defender who now may never get drafted because of the embarrassment the quarterback just put him through.

  • It’s getting ugly out there – Teenager wearing Trump shirt charged with punching Harris supporter, 70
    • A 17-year-old boy — wearing a T-shirt featuring an image of Trump raising his middle finger in front of an American flag background — punched the Harris supporter, knocking her off her feet, according to police and the woman, Stuart resident Kathleen Tomasko.
  • This is disappointing.

  • For their age, these are some great throws and great catches.

  • Idiot coaching.
