No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

musicals

When I was in 8th grade, the school play that year was West Side Story. It was a small school, K-12 totaled about 400 kids, so the casting was not very selective. I was a Shark.

I didn't understand some of the lyrics we were singing. Dad had to explain to me about the various racial and ethnic epithets. He also had to explain the term, "social disease" from the song "Officer Krupke."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

When you’re a Jet you’re a Jet all the way, I guess it’s different for Sharks

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, Bonnie.

Planning to spend much of the day watching the Olympics, switching to the Super Bowl at the appropriate time.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I literally LOLed.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

yeah, ha ha. Had something of a partial Norman Lear moment, (a full NLM would be if that guy in the workshop personally said "Thanks, I wasn't thinking," which I wouldn't hold my breath for, even if oxygen loss hadn't ended up on the painful side.) But the instructor thanked me for my honesty, which might help when he hates what I wrote in the last class.

Yay Seahawks! Not that I actually care about football but…

Guess they’ll probably have a parade that I will miss, being in CT. Ah well. I wouldn’t have gone anyway.

Our wings are not tired.

I enjoyed the game despite it being a bit uneven. Go Seahawks! DH didn't care for the Bad Bunny halftime, but I love dance so it worked for me.

Trying to get MIL to move more. It is challenging.

As far as commercials go I enjoyed the polar bears converting to Pepsi. The Levi's ad made me think of David Schwartz. A few cute ones.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The Levi's ad made me think of David Schwartz.

Butts? (That's what I said during that commercial -- "Levi's: just the butts!")

I enjoyed the polar bears converting to Pepsi.

I feel like Pepsi is trying to restart the cola wars.

I've always been on the Pepsi side of that war. It was super fun to see the polar bears!
