Your Bag of Nothing for Thursday, October 3, 2024

  • The Astros won as many playoff games this season as the Rangers. Speaking of baseball, one of the all-time greats, the person with the most hits in their history, didn’t get a moment of silence or any recognition like you usually see when other greats, like Willie Mayes or Hank Aaron died. Come on, the guy gambled; he didn’t kill anyone. But hey, at least MLB and the Hall of Fame tweeted about it.
  • I was driving BoyGeeding to a friend’s house Sunday evening, and we passed the College Gameday trailer on I35 in Lewisville. I knew they were just in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and from what I found online, they were heading to Berkeley, California. I thought it would be odd for them to travel on I35, which goes south to north. But I plugged the two cities into Google Maps, and traveling through Lewisville, TX, on I35 is one of the preferred routes. Speaking of I35, this is what it’s like when you cross the border into Oklahoma from Kansas. One of those states doesn’t invest in taking care of their road.
  • Rudy Giuliani’s Daughter: Trump Took My Dad From Me. Please Don’t Let Him Take Our Country Too – “Nothing I have experienced prepared me for the very public and relentless implosion of my father’s life,” writes Caroline Giuliani, announcing her support for Kamala Harris.
  • I thought I knew the late John Amos well, but until yesterday, I wasn’t unaware he recorded a country album. Yup, you read that right. In 2009, he released We Were Hippies, an album of original country songs by Gene (cousin of Johnny) and Eric Cash. Here’s one of the music videos. His repeating “hip” at the start of 3:08 was stuck in my head all day.
  • The man was interviewed, and he said he still enjoys performing.

  • This guy does a really great Deion Sanders “Coach Prime” impression. Speaking of impressions: Haley Joel Osment should win an Emmy for his portrayal of JD Vance trying to buy a donut.
  • Interesting that these two significant athletes are gone.
  • That is a painful strikeout, physically and on the ego. Not only did he swing and strike out, but he got hit by the pitch he struck out on. Has that happened before? I guess that’s the only time a batter can get hit by a pitch but not take a base.

  • Here are some videos for you camera lovers.
