My bracket is so busted, dead and done, done, done. And Casper's gloating over his has become insufferable. Sheesh! What kind of brag-worth picking does it take to pick the two top teams in the country to win all their games? Granted, he's a dog, but still, I ask you, what kind of bragging rights has he earned simply by picking UConn and Purdue, the two best teams in the country, to win, win, win? I could have done that...
Well, ok, so I didn't do that. So, he has that going for him. But still, I think a little humility on his part wouldn't be amiss.
(I really hope one or both of them lose their next game just to shut him up)

Todd, scary shit to go through. Good to hear you are still you.
(I bet you had some really strange and interesting dreams. Any lights or angels?)

57.8% of surveyed brackets picked UConn to take the whole enchilada.
(I don't know who did the survey or who was surveyed, I only know CBS Sports printed it. ((but, it sounds good to me))

Ouch is right.
This might be the year of "The Really Big Man".
(How in dickens does a team go on a 30-0 run? Is that a NCCA record? It has to be)

So, Ole. Ole as walking down by da river one day, and he sees Sven over on the other side. So Ole says, he says, "Hey, Sven! How do I get to the other side?" Sven looks up and looks around, and he yells back to Ole, he says, "Ole! You are on the other side!" The version of this I heard had the Bodhisattva in it.

To be clear, I have no idea what was done or not done with Todd.
I do know that colostomies can be a fairly common procedure with certain colon surgeries, and they are often temporary procedures and, when ready, the bypass is reversed and the colon is stitched back together again.

That’s great!! Did they have to do a colostomy? Are you serious! 21 days bedridden and sedated after a colon fix redo, a colostomy would a standard procedure. If done, it will be reversed when it is ready to be. That is also a standard procedure. In many cases, a colostomy is just a temporary plumbing bypass until the repaired pipes are back in place glued up and ready to go.

The kid from North Dakota nailed his free throws.
(I believe he missed that last one on purpose. With a little over a second left in the game, don't give the bad guys a chance to heave the ball all the way to the other side of the court before the clock starts, start the clock with a rebound 90 feet away from your basket and completely screwed/)

I scored as indolent and very satisfied. Pretty much nailed me.

... I know what I had under Trump and I want it back. I admit that I made the leap to the markets, you could have been referring to something else you had under Trump that is gone and you want back. Hair, for instance. Perhaps you have less hair now under Biden than you did under Trump and you want it back. I can understand that, but is it fair or reasonable to credit Trump or blame Biden for that? I had more hair when Nixon was prez than I do with Biden, but, it isn't fair or reasonable to blame Biden or credit Nixon for it. Or, it may not be hair. I don't know what you had under Trump that is now gone, but is it fair or reasonable to blame Biden for it? It might be, but it usually isn't.

... I know what I had under Trump and I want it back. If you are referring to your retirement portfolio, I don't get it. Markets are in record territory and investment returns are strong. So if there is anything you are unhappy about in the regard, it is whoever is in charge of your portfolio you should be upset with, not Biden. [there isn't a "Trump Market" or a "Biden Market", there is just "The Market", an ocean liner to a president's canoe paddle.]

Heard you were looking for one of these. Needs work, but most the rust is mostly hidden. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Songs, and sonnets, can swing both ways. Always have, always will. So go for it, Bruce! Make the song yours!
(a couple slugs of Scotch will help with the initial awkwardness)

There is no reason to screw up any of the lyrics of the fine song, "Someday Soon". To do so is not only dumb, it is disrespectful and dishonest.
To begin, unless you are young and in the throes of new love, you are adopting a persona/perspective other than your own when you sing this song... whether as written or as abused with pronounical perfidy. Singers adopt a persona/perspective other than their own with regularity (or what in the dickens would they have to sing about?)
So what is this fuss and concern about singing "Someday Soon" as written and intended?
Oh... are the concerns about gender or voice conflicts with the lyrics? But why? There are none. None. Unless you have trouble singing the song from the perspective of a young gay man in love with a rodeo dude. If so, then the conflict is with you, not the song.
"Someday Soon" works as intended by the creator of the song for any gender and can be sung appropriately and believably by a singer of any gender... or, no gender or undefined/unknown/undecided gender (the combinations are endless).
Really people, torturing yourself and this perfectly fine as is song with awkward and distracting (and damn silly) pronoun abuse when it works beautifully as written and as is for any gender you can come up with is, again, disrespectful, dishonest, and just plain silly.
Certain minds perhaps could do with some changing, but "Someday Soon" requires none.

Off to the dentist for a cleaning. As always, I will ask for laughing gas, and, as always, they will say no. They do let me get to pick the Beatles channel, however.
Morning!
