Raise your hand if you think the dad is hotter than the son …

$30 in 1981 is $105.54 today, a bargain compared to today’s dizzying prices.

Another recession indicator: furniture sales I was at a poker table where one of the players owned a furniture store, a business started by his grandfather and where he had worked all his life (he was mid-50s). He claimed that furniture sales were the first sign of a recession because new furniture has the most elastic demand of just about all goods. Sure, you can put off buying a new pair of shoes for a while when times are tough, but at some point they are completely spent and you have to buy a new pair. The same is true of cars, clothes, etc., whereas even the well-to-do can put up with their old couch at least a little bit longer.

The number of deaths is now 218. With a small area still not cleared of rubble and some survivors in critical condition, the number might climb even higher. What a tragedy, it’s hard to wrap your head around it.

More than 300K reviewers on IMDb have given it an average rating of 1.6 … Wow. The 2025 Snow White’s box office is bombing. I wonder how big Disney’s loss will be.

I’d have a snowball’s chance in Hades of making it onto that jury. If the prosecution is smart, they’ll show prospective jurors a shirtless pic of Luigi then look for “that look,” you know, that starving wolf -> juicy ribeye look. They’d ding me so hard I’d sail clear over the Hudson River.

Mine is a photo of Mikel Erentxun, the lead singer of the Spanish rock band Duncan Dhu. I picked him (a pic from his youth, he’s now 60) because he was a great case of a guy who’s neither handsome (imho) nor has a great body yet is sexy AF. We’ve all met guys like that. They’re delightfully puzzling.

Yes, that’s the correct Yogi-ism. Berra was referring to a pennant race, but it can apply to any baseball game (8/5/2001 Seattle blew a 12-0 lead, Cleveland came back to win 15-14) or series (2004 ALCS, Boston came back from 0-3 games down to beat the Yankees 4-3). My favorite Yogi-ism: “Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical.”

For you to do it, no big. But for the priest to do so leaves me speechless. Did he confess what he did at some point?? The other priest hearing his confession must have dropped a 40-pound cow in his shorts.

Wow … I thought that happened only in porn!
