I had the initial procedures today for 2 dental implants. One broken tooth had to be extracted, and one that was extracted years ago had the initial part of the implant inserted. The surgeon told me NO SMOKING for 2 weeks. He told me how costly it could be if they fail. I mentioned my pot smoking and he mentioned edibles and I told him my dealer is in the hospital and he suggested something I'd never heard before... 'smoke through your nose'. I thought he was being facetious, but he said no... insert the joint into your nostril and inhale. (NOT the lit end!) Guess what? It works!

My brother in law works from home now and rarely goes anywhere far, so he let his gas tank go down to nearly E. He has a 23 gallon tank. He went to Costco (or BJs) to fill up & the pump cut off at $100 because there's a $100 limit for credit cards. And now, a public service announcement... Stephen Fry: ‘My life is changed forever’ Fry, 64, shared with his 12.4 million Twitter followers the meaning of the little triangle next to the fuel gauge icon. “Well, simmer me in prune juice and call me Daisy. Hey, whatever turns you on! I never knew till now that you can tell which side of a car the filler cap is on by a little arrow next to the petrol pump icon,” he tweeted. “64 years on the planet shrouded in ignorance. My life is changed forever,” the actor continued. Ford CEO Jim Farley responded to Fry on Twitter, sharing the backstory for the feature. “The idea for this indicator icon was recommended by a @Ford engineer named Jim Moylan in 1986,” Farley shared. “It was such a useful idea it eventually spread to other manufacturers,” he added. Farley shared the original letter pitching the idea, which included an illustration. “The indicator or symbol I have in mind would be located near the fuel gauge and simply describe to the driver on which side of the vehicle the fuel filler door is located,” Moylan wrote in April 1986. “Based on personal experience…I feel that this little indicator would remove the guesswork of which side I want to park,” the letter said. The icon was first used in the 1989 Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer and later adopted by other automakers, according to Fox. Somebody tell Rita Rudner about this... she used to have a joke in her act about having a rotating gas tank... whichever side of the pump she pulled up to, the gas cap was on the other side.

Interesting game for Greene last night vs. Arizona. The leadoff man bunted for a hit, was thrown out stealing as the 2nd batter struck out, and that was it. The game was called after 7 because of rain, so it goes down as his first CG & shutout.

Queen teases unreleased song with Freddie Mercury Jeez, she's really going all out for her silver jubilee, ain't she? I have to admit, this might even be bigger news than ABBA releasing a new album after 40 years.

Who names their kid after a gay porn video? A missing 4-year-old boy was found safe after surviving two days on his own in the Montana wilderness in cold temperatures over the weekend. Ryker Webb was found Sunday unharmed but “hungry, thirsty and cold”

Watched it in one morning. It held my interest, though I think it went off the rails towards the end. I liked that it was set in the outback, as it gave me the feeling of being transported away from civilization. There was a plot line for one character which drove me nuts... I watched something fairly recently that had the same exact plot, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was.

???? There is sound.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34043550/kevin-cash-says-pride-night-logo-opt-some-tampa-bay-rays-players-divide-team A number of Tampa Bay Rays players decided not to wear rainbow-colored logos on their uniforms as part of the team's annual "Pride Night" on Saturday that recognized the LGBTQ community. Rays manager Kevin Cash addressed it after Sunday's game, saying he doesn't think it'll negatively impact the clubhouse because discussions among the players over the past few weeks were constructive and emphasized the value of differing perspectives. "First and foremost, I think the organization has done a really good thing to have Pride Nights supporting our gay community to come out and have a nice night at the ballpark," Cash said. "Impressed that our players have had those conversions and we want to support our players that choose to wear or choose not to wear to the best of our capabilities." Among players who elected to remove the logos were pitchers Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs and Ryan Thompson, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Adam was elected to speak for the group after the game, saying it was a "faith-based decision" for many of them. "So it's a hard decision," Adam told the Tampa Bay Times. "Because ultimately we all said what we want is them to know that all are welcome and loved here. But when we put it on our bodies, I think a lot of guys decided that it's just a lifestyle that maybe -- not that they look down on anybody or think differently -- it's just that maybe we don't want to encourage it if we believe in Jesus, who's encouraged us to live a lifestyle that would abstain from that behavior. "... It's not judgmental. It's not looking down. It's just what we believe the lifestyle he's encouraged us to live, for our good, not to withhold. But again, we love these men and women, we care about them, and we want them to feel safe and welcome here." "It's one of those things, my parents taught me to love everyone as they are, go live your life, whatever your preferences are, go be you," centerfielder Kevin Kiermaier, who wore the rainbow logos, told the Times. "I can't speak for everyone who's in here, obviously, but this is a family-friendly environment here at a big league ballfield. "... We just want everyone to feel welcomed and included and cheer us on. No matter what your views on anything are." You just knew the man with the most beautiful eyes in baseball would have a sensitive take on the subject. SIGH!

Ay, pobrecito! How are you doing knowing that there won't be a new episode coming Monday?

How about this for a run of dominant starting pitching: Taillon 7 IP, 1R Severino 7 IP, 0R Cole 8 IP 0BB 11K, but 5 runs because of one bad inning Montgomery 6 IP + one batter, 2R JP Sears 1st ML start 5 IP, 0R Nestor the Protester 8 IP + one batter, 1R Taillon 8 IP, 0R, 2 hits Cole 6 IP 1R, 2 hits Severino 6 1/3 IP 4 R, 2 hits Montgomery 7 IP, 1R Nestor the Protester 7 IP, 0R Taillon 8 IP, 1R, 2 hits, perfect through 7 Cole 7 IP, 0R, 2 hits, perfect through 6 2/3 The starter has allowed 2 hits in 5 of the last 7 games, and has gone 6 or more innings in 8 straight, and 12 of 13, with the only one <6 being 5 shutout innings in a rookie's 1st start. Totals: 90 1/3 IP (2 outs short of 7 IP per game), 16 runs in 13 games (9 runs in 2 games, 7 runs in the other 11). They're only 8-5 in those games because of some bullpen & hitting problems. NEXT DAY... This is getting ridiculous. Severino was only perfect through one today, then Miguel Cabrera hit a line drive right to short that went off Kiner-Falefa's glove. It was immediately called a hit. And that was the Tigers' offense (+ one walk). Severino 7 IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 10K, 92 pitches. The last 3 games, the starters: 22 IP, 5H, 1R The last 5: 36 IP, 14H, 2R Judge batted lead-off and homered on the 1st pitch, his 20th in 38 games. Other Yankees to do that: Ruth (5 times), Maris & Mantle (both in 1961).

Oral sex sends Florida man crashing into FedEx truck It was a head-on collision — literally. A distracted Florida man receiving oral sex smashed directly into a FedEx truck in Ft.

Matt 'If I Were A' Carpenter has done it again! My nicknames for him have obviously been a good luck charm and I am responsible for this surge. I wish I could give myself an applause emoji. He had become the third man to have his first 3 Yankee hits be homers (Soriano, Higashioka), but he singled tonight before homering. He's 5-19, 4 HR, 3 BB for a .263/.364/.895 batting line. Damn, I'm good. I'm going to run out of nicknames soon at this rate. Oh, and SF Giants SS Brandon Crawford's brother in-law was perfect through 6 2/3. I had nothing to do with that. Last tonight Taillon was perfect through 7. They held on for a 13-0 win. The Yankee starting pitching has been pretty decent recently. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, they became the first team in the expansion era (since 1961) with two starting pitchers working at least six perfect innings in back-to-back games.

OWN A PIECE OF AMERICAN HISTORY FOR JUST $10!!! America’s final Howard Johnson’s restaurant — a 7,500-square-foot single-story diner, which had sat off Lake George, NY’s Route 9 for almost 70 years — has closed its doors, ending an era for what was once the nation’s largest restaurant chain. It’s also now for sale — and for a price that won’t break the bank. The property is listed for just $10 by a local real estate firm, which boasts the address comes with 70 parking spots and electrical road front signage. A representative for the firm, Exit Realty Empire Associates, told CNN affiliate News10 that the site has seen interest since first going up for lease last December, and initial attempts to sell it started back in 2017.

The cute romantic comedy “Fire Island” takes the story of “Pride and Prejudice” and really amps up the “Pride.” Written by and starring Joel Kim Booster, the film modernizes Jane Austen’s 1813 oft-adapted novel, relocates it to the thumping New York beach vacation spot and makes nearly every character a 30-something gay guy. Elizabeth, Mr. Darcy, Mary, Wickham: They’re all here with new names, colorful tank tops and Grindr. https://nypost.com/2022/06/02/fire-island-review-friends-pine-in-the-pines-in-sweet-rom-com/ I know @E.T.Bass is a fan of Mr. Booster, as are @LoveNDino & @MassageDrew.

A person who helped authorities find runaway jail boss Vicky White and her lover inmate Casey White collected a $5,000 reward from the state of Alabama Wednesday. The state’s finance department issued the reward to a person who “provided valuable assistance to law enforcement in securing the apprehension and arrest of Casey White,” Gov. Kay Ivey’s office said. The recipient has chosen to remain anonymous and officials did not detail how that tipster helped authorities track down Vicky White, 56, and Casey White, 38, during the 11-day manhunt.

This was a public service announcement for @Unicorn There was another shirtless scene with J Lee, like this one from the past.

Matt 'More Masculine Than Karen's Brother Richard' Carpenter led off the bottom of the first today by homering off Ohtani. The game wasn't a fair fight as Shohei (3 IP, 4 R, 3.99 ERA) was facing The Nasty One (7 IP, 0 R, 1.50 ERA). After hitting .078 (4-51) in April, he now has hit in 19 games in a row.

The alligator was caught and euthanized. No word on whether it had the frisbee when it was caught.
