Bag of Randomness


I’m looking forward to the day I can start a post by saying I accepted a new job offer. But today is not that day.


Most Dallas Cowboys fans don’t appreciate how good a quarterback Dak Prescott is. He was exceptional last night.

Everyone thought the Cowboys were going to get blown out, and Micah Parsons would have at least a couple of memorable sacks. To our surprise, the Cowboys played better than expected. Not only did Dak play lights out, but Shotty called a great game. So many times, you can tell the Cowboys lost to bad coaching, but not last night.

But it ended in a tie. How do we feel about that? Well, this is what BoyGeeding said, “We lost to the Bears last week, so consider this an upgrade.”


Last time I posted, I stated that it should be obvious that Superman is uncircumcised. I still stand by that. In all likelihood, his biological parents could have had him snipped on Krypton. Buy, why would they, especially if they are an advanced civilization? The main reasons for circumcision are religious and cultural. Yes, there are medical reasons for the procedure, but it’s mainly done for religious or cultural reasons. And think what would happen if he and Lois had a son. It would take a lot of effort to get that boy circumcised, considering his super genes are passed on.


Maybe I’m wrong, but when someone gold-plates his office with the “highest quality 24 Karat Gold” and builds a ballroom larger than the historic mansion he’s living in, he has no plans moving out in three years.


Meanwhile, we’re bringing back measles and discounting the effectiveness of trusted and well-established vaccinations.

I always get a kick out of skills or random bits of knowledge we carry over from other jobs that we will never have a practical use for. For instance, a college friend worked at a postal facility, where his role involved reviewing images of envelopes with hard-to-read ZIP codes. He could easily tell you any ZIP code in Texas. So, if someone mentioned they were going home for the weekend to Lubbock, he’d rattle off all the ZIP codes in the area. More impressively, he’ll just ask for the street and would still be able to tell you not only your ZIP code, but your ZIP+4. He could do this for other parts of the country as well. He hasn’t worked there in over 25 years but a lot of that knowledge has stuck in his head and it’s a great party trick.

For me I used to work at Southwest Airlines in the Technology department, helping to test their website. For a while, I could tell you most of the airport codes.


I’ve never seen so much chicken cooked at one time.


I used to watch a lot of Hunter episodes with my father back in the day. I was shocked when Dad informed me he played in the NFL. He looks great at 79. Now that’s a series I’m surprised that hasn’t been rebooted. According to Wikipedia, a small reboot was done in 2003, but I don’t recall it.
