Starting a rumor that the Colts are selling/trading players before the moving vans arrive

OK, I’ll bite. What countries in the Middle East are hard to pronounce? Many you already know from the Bible. Maybe if you were to breakdown the UAE or struggle with Qatar, but most are simple two syllable names

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

As usual, I had asked to be removed from consideration for the sexiest man alive award

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

This is like two steps from, “Americans are just too busy to keep up with politics. We should relieve them of this burden.”

Four sporting events on now and the World Series game is the least competitive. After the first two games, I would not have seen that coming

Are we sure they’re not playing this game in Milwaukee?

I think I liked it better when the President and Vice President weren't constantly swearing during public speeches. Save it for the Oval Office

I suppose the US would be making a fortune off of rising gas prices if we taxed the energy companies…

Do people get nostalgic for web sites they used to spend a lot of time on? Or maybe web comics they no longer read? I was just thinking of some sites I’d stopped using. They might still be running, but maybe going back now would ruin the nostalgia

Happy Medieval Monday-ween! If you haven't chosen a Halloween costume why not visit Digital Bodleian for some inspiration. These images are all taken from MS Douce 134: https://digital.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/objects/171e2f9a-37fa-4d0b-ac70-9cab486f7ace/surfaces/8fbb7f90-658f-4f91-afc0-b8b8e6393f41/.

What a strange week of football. The only thing that could make it stranger is for the Eagles and Cowboys to play an entertaining, competent game on Monday Night Football

Re: the Bill Maher post on Truth - I just can’t picture Trump using “transformative” in a sentence. Frankly, I can’t imagine most people using “transformative,” but that goes double for Trump.

Death Drive with Daddy

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

For the record, I have never seen a Cheesecake Factory and my view of it is mainly based on The Big Bang Theory and jokes about how big their menus are. On the whole, I would not see dining in a “factory” as a fancy experience

The weather app indicates that there’s a chance of rain for every day for the next ten days. Can I blame Super El Niño?

Hadn’t made the connection that we set the clocks back on Halloween night. Add in the election on Tuesday and that’s a confusing four days

Were any of the betting/future sites taking bets on the sausage race tonight?

I keep checking the forecast for Halloween night and it keeps changing. At the moment it says rain. Another Halloween blizzard?

Well that was a good start for the Series

GTA VI ad during the World Series. What a brave new world

There’s a meme about things that have improved in your lifetime and I was thinking baseball coverage. I wish they’d turn down some of the glitz and I miss the old time voices, but the camera work and the info is so much better

Got a political mailing with AI generated art of a donkey kicking an old lady (kicking her to the curb) and I have to wonder if this actually works on anyone?

They should do a regeneration scene whenever they switch to a new Bond

The last time they had a well-publicized search for a new Bond and got it down to 4 or 5 actors, they ended up with George Lazenby...

I was standing on the porch when a package arrived. The driver said they needed to take a photo for proof of delivery. So I held it up under the house number. After I went inside I got an email telling me my package was delivered with a photo of my arm holding up the package

YouTube gives me a lot of videos on cast iron skillets which is weird as I don’t own one

The weather has been good for sleeping and then today I wake up two hours early. A sign it’s going to be too warm (for October) today?

American Graffiti is thought to be a 50s movie, but it was set in 1962. It was made in 1973. If you made the equivalent of American Graffiti today, it would be set in 2015

Maybe I'll do nothing but watch bad horror movies on Tubi until election day

Saw an ad for a product where the video was obviously AI generated and now I want someone to buy it to see what it really looks like

I know everyone picks on the obvious word mistakes like using the wrong their/there/they're, but I wish people would also learn the difference between reign and rein

How long does a television show have to be off the air before it's appropriate to talk about a revival? Is there a point where a show has been off the air too long and a revival is impossible?

Let’s say it’s a blue tsunami. (Not sure it will be. It’s never as big as it seems.) Do the lame duck GOP suddenly grow spines? Does Vance see the 25th as the best path to the Oval Office? Maybe he just gets tired of being a lap dog. Does the media suddenly see a market for writing critical stories?

Jimmy Carter probably wrote more books than Trump has read…

One of my favorite Twins games was sitting behind Brewers fans who were in town because Robin Yount was getting close to 3000 hits. Fun guys and it was a crazy game that went into extra innings
