@JeffreyWil60280 @davidpdeavel Well, I was a child . . . As a kid, it made sense to think the Globetrotters were the best team on earth.

@hunterbaker @davidpdeavel Not buying that one Mr. Baker but I will say that there was no better entertainment than the Meadowlark Lemon, Curly Neal led Globetrotters. Was lucky enough to see them twice as a kid.

Our dads took me and my neighbor to watch the Globetrotters in about 1979 at Notre Dame. Incredible thrill to watch Curly, Sweet Lou, and the gang.

When I was seven years old, I thought Curly Neal and the Harlem Globetrotters were superheroes. I was right.

I think there's a huge lane for an airline that offers bigger seats and more legroom with no first class and no economy. Enough fewer people to ensure overhead bin space, too. I'd pay for that. I think others would, as well.

I will never understand the return of large, thick eyeglass frames as a fashion. I spent years trying to escape them. What's next: starched collars? Spats? Zoot suits? Top hats? Pocket protectors? Powdered wigs?

This is so freaking funny. Wait for the comments. This poor dude looks like Mason Reese's grandson.

Disappointed in the new chex mix. Why try to improve something that is already perfect?

@TheCinesthetic Back in the day, there was a company that sold college lecture notes. They used red paper, too.

Christopher Nolan prints his scripts on red paper so they can’t be copied.

The Last Duel (2021) was well reviewed but only made about $30 million on a $100 million budget. Ridley Scott blamed “millennials,” saying they “don’t ever want to be taught anything unless it’s on the phone.”

Canticle for Leibowitz and it isn’t close.

What’s the best sci-fi you’ve ever read not named Dune, Red Rising or Sun Eater?

I have no idea what Prince William really thinks about religion. I have a question, though, for friends who are knowledgeable about the Church of England. If the monarch is an unbeliever (or not a believing Christian or not an Anglican) can he or she nevertheless serve as Supreme Governor of the Church of England?

This is supposed to be one of the hardest problems ever to solve. Is it? Or isn’t it?

@JonahDispatch I use handling nitroglycerin as a way to talk about politics. Politics are far more unstable and dangerous than we realize and shouldn’t be treated like a fandom.
English
Totally true. I also expected to spend much more time talking about, and dealing with, quicksand.
And, frankly, when I was a kid I thought that when I grew up, I’d have to deal with the risks of transporting nitroglycerin. Hasn’t frick’n come up once.

Nobody fell off harder than the hammerhead shark. Was a top shark for me as a kid and now completely obsolete in media and conversation.
