There's an old piano And they play it hot behind the green door Don't know what they're doing But they laugh a lot behind the green door Wish they'd let me in so I could find out What's behind the green door

I was looking up sports phrases on the inter web, and I found out that phrase is originally credited to Howard Cosell.

A Mashed potato started long time ago With a guy named Sloppy Joe You'll find this dance is so cool to do Come on baby, gonna teach it to you Mashed potato, feel it in your feet now Mashed potato, come on get the beat now Baby, come on honey, come on baby, ya, ya, ya, ya And then they dance it through and through They look for records they can do it to They got a dance was outta sight Doin' the lion sleeps tonight

These days people pay Starbucks with plastic. For small dollar transactions it’s often just wave/insert/slide the card. Possibly even use a phone app. No paper, no signature. Tipping becomes a hassle.

I think he is being more cautious. Head on a swivel. Thus not running full speed with reckless abandon. Yet he still got a concussion.

Didn’t one of the color announcers say something like, “the winning team will be the one with more points at the end of the game” a few years ago?

They're really rockin Boston In Pittsburgh, P. A. Deep in the heart of Texas And 'round the Frisco Bay All over St. Louis Way down in New Orleans All the Cats wanna dance with Sweet Little Sixteen

I’m flipping back and forth between pats/Giants and Syracuse/NC State on ESPN. This is not a good night for the teams I am rooting for.

Shout, Shout, knock, yourself out Come On yell, yell, loud, and swell You Gotta scream, scream, you know what I mean Put Another dime in the record machine Hey We're havin' a party now it's just begun We're All over here and havin' fun Joe's All alone and he wants to be kissed While Mary's in the corner and she's doin' the twist

“He’s a great route runner”

“It’s four down territory”

I met you on somebody's island You thought you had known me before I brought you a crate of papaya Then waited all night by your door You probably wouldn't remember I probably couldn't forget Jungle love, in the surf, in the pouring rain Everything's better when wet

I’ve been through many lay-off cycles as my company downsized and consolidated. Lay-off dates were usually announced a couple weeks in advance. Each time I would go to work after many sleepless nights and nervously await the summons to the manager’s office. I was never summoned. I survived 40 years. My daughter worked for a company that had a lay-off after she had been there for just a few months. Since she was newly hired, she was safe from the lay-off. She witnessed middle aged family breadwinners getting laid-off unexpectedly. She said to heck with this and changed her career. That was about three years ago, and she’s much happier now.

I had a childhood friend get in touch with me about 10 years ago. I hadn’t seen the guy in about 40 years. We made small talk, which was nice, but then he started to ask questions about insider investing information relating to my work. The end.

No. It’s the principle of the thing. It allows me to squirt without guilt. It also reduces the number of times that we might run out and not have a replacement. We aren’t organized enough to always have another bottle ready to go, and I am too lazy to be running out to the store in between major trips.

For dishes, etc. that are washed by hand rather than in the dishwasher, I dilute the dish soap. People seem to like to use a big squirt of dish soap, even though a few drops is all you really need. What’s the fun of a few drops when you can make a big squirt?

The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and the endless skies

For a kicker, distraction is probably a good thing. I will never understand the ice that they must have in their veins.

Clang, clang, clang went the trolley Ding, ding, ding went the bell Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings From the moment I saw him I fell

Has this been discussed? I couldn’t find it, but I didn’t look too hard. https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2019/10/zay-jones-father-believes-son-has-real-qb-now-following-trade-from-buffalo-bills.html Slamming Josh on his way out of town

Now I've been crying lately, Thinkin' about the world as it is Why must we go on hating, Why can't we live in bliss 'Cause out on the edge of darkness, There rides a Peace Train Oh Peace Train take this country, Come take me home again
