I STARTED A JOKE by the Bee Gees is a great song to contemplate suicide to.

Gracie Allen had many amazing talents that the general public knew nothing about. For example, she was a master magician. Watch the beginning of this clip. When she's tuning her ukelele, the strings are too long and curl up off the top. Seconds later, when she's singing, the strings are perfectly trimmed. I've watched this clip dozens of times and I can't figure out how she did it. Houdini and David Copperfield would've been jealous. The only other possible explanation would involve some cinematic trickery by the director, and I hope it wasn't that, because then they'll have to film the scene all over again! P.S. Every time I watch this scene I have the same thought... if Eleanor Powell mis-times even one step with that jump rope, she's going flying into that pool (or the ocean).

USE CORRECT GRAMMAR

Yankee fans have become very fond of his brother-in-law, Gerrit 'don't call me Natalie' Cole.

I can't stand the woman who does the Spectrum ads. Something about her is like nails on a blackboard to me. I guess I'm not the only one. https://www.reddit.com/r/CommercialsIHate/comments/kfwgtu/every_time_i_see_or_hear_her_i_want_to_throw/

THIS IS RIDICULOUS, EVEN FOR HIM… Kevin Kiermaier has eye irritation stemming from eyelash Kevin Kiermaier has another freak injury: left eye irritation stemming from an eyelash. Kiermaier left Saturday night’s game against Toronto in the fifth inning after first experiencing discomfort while shagging balls during batting practice. “A couple minutes in, I was like, dang it, I got an eyelash in my eye,” Kiermaier said. “There was an eyelash in there and then we rinsed my eye, and then it disappeared or kind of went into one of these crevices or whatever. Once that happened, everything took a turn for the worse.” “I don’t know how or if we scratched, that’s definitely what it feels like,” Kiermaier added. “I keep telling people it just feels like a piece of sand on the inside of my eyelid. Every time I blink, just pressure, irritation, a scratching feeling.” Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said Kiermaier was not scheduled to start in Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays but was available off the bench. Kiermaier felt slight improvement Sunday. “Still feel a little bit of a scratch or irritation, whatever we’ve got going on in there,” he said. Kiermaier has a history of offbeat injuries, including hurting his hand during a base-running slide and injuring a wrist while attempting a diving catch. “It’s just one of those weird things,” he said. “Seems like this stuff could only happen to me. Got to get through it and roll with the punches. I’ll be fine. I assume I’ll be 100% whenever my eye chooses to cooperate, but we’re kind of waiting for that moment.”

BIG NEWS!!! I was considered fully vaccinated on 5/14. I went to a warehouse club that day for a couple of bulk items, but tonight I returned to ShopRite for the first time since Thanksgiving. I had to wait 15 minutes for a handicapped cart to become available. I went at 8:30 PM, which is NOT a good time… people shouldn’t be allowed to shop at the same time I do. 11PM- 6 AM is my sweet spot, and I shant vary from it again. ShopRite isn’t requiring masks anymore (StopNShop still does). I’d forgotten to bring a disposable mask with me. I have a spare in my car, but I also keep a cloth mask my sister gave me at the start of the pandemic in the little bag I carry around with my wallet, phone etc. (yes, I call it my purse, though it isn’t one), so I put it on, just because most of the other shoppers were wearing one, and I didn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable. I’d forgotten how much warmer and not so easy to breathe it is compared to the disposable ones. I went from wearing it right, to pulling it down under my nose, to just letting it dangle from my left ear. But none of that is the BIG NEWS!!!. The only thing that never goes on sale for delivery orders is soda. It came out a little cheaper to order 1.25L bottles of Coke Zero via delivery, so I had not bought any 2L bottles since Thanksgiving. I got the maximum of 16. 12 fit in my shopping cart to bring upstairs, so I still have 4 in my trunk. My friend and I both agreed it wasn’t the life-changing experience we were both expecting upon our return there. I expected at least a mariachi band out front to welcome me back.

Jesse Williams will exit GREY'S ANATOMY next week. He wants to focus on other projects. He will be in a revival of Take Me Out, which was scheduled to open last year, but will instead open in 2022. http://topnudemalecelebs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Jesse-Williams_topnudemalecelebs_com-2.jpg

The Dodgers have won the bidding war for Alfred Pujols.

A father-to-be proved himself the biggest baby at his future child’s gender reveal. A viral TikTok video from this spring has captured the moment a dad learned that his unborn kid will be a girl — a fact he seems not very happy about. While the rest of the crowd present erupts in cheers as a pregnant woman pops a balloon covered in question marks — that proves to be filled with smaller pink balloons, revealing that the woman will be having a daughter — the father has quite a different reaction. “Son of a bitch,” he appears to scream, throwing down the balloon’s strings in frustration and turning away from the party guests, all smiling but him. I can't wait until the daughter sees the video. The video, which was posted on April 25, has racked up over 566,000 views on the platform.
