Bag of Randomness

  • Yesterday was BoyGeeding’s actual birthday, and his immediate family has been holding out on his presents since his birthday on Saturday.  DaughterGeeding gave him stuffed toy versions of Tom and Jerry and WifeGeeding and I gave him a Big Wheel.  There’s only one problem with the Big Wheel, his feet can’t quite reach the peddles.  That recommended ages for the Big Wheel is three to seven, so I jumped the gun a bit.  The Big Wheel was a big player in my toddler years.
  • A mother of a three-year-old was at BoyGeeding’s party and they gifted him a Nerf Vortex, which is meant to be thrown further than a regular football and has an age recommendation of six and up.  We’re thankful for the gift and all, but it was an odd choice.  I’m guessing it was a re-gift as her child turned three the week before.
  • When I heard Conan O’Brien was in Cuba during the SNL 40 special, I couldn’t tell if it was a joke or not, but he’s actually there filming stuff for his show.  I like despite how he’s relegated to just a show on TBS, he still has a passion to do his best, compete, and be aggressive.  And in typical Conan fashion, here’s his first picture from the Cuba.
  • I caught up on ‘The Walking Dead’ last night and noticed one of the walkers was wearing a sweater that I own.
  • A History Of The Most Impractical Weapons Ever Used In War
  • Most mispronounced Texas city names
  • Today’s dose of ‘MURICA!
  • The first Monopoly board was not a square but a circle.
  • In regards to ‘Gotham’, I don’t know who’s the more attractive Jim Gordon girlfriend, Barbara Kean (the blonde) or Dr. Leslie Thompkins (the brunette).
  • While watching ‘Better Call Saul’ curiosity got the best of me and I had to look up “Chicago sunroof” on the Urban Dictionary.  The show also referenced the Donner Party and later that evening I noticed a tweet about them referring them to “emigrants” which caused me to look up the difference between “emigrant” and “immigrant”.
  • Had no idea the song  “It’s My Party” was produced by Quincy Jones.
  • Benedict Cumberbatch got married on Valentine’s Day and was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel last night.  I had to utilized the Info button on my remote to make sure Kimmel wasn’t a rerun.
