The Daily Double Standard

 Every new "Twitter" dump by Musk has been rightfully demonized by them, but when it comes to the news of Donald Trump's permanent ban they saw "nothing wrong" and stated the "Twitter, got it right"

They're "never again Trump" bias and loud and clear once again. But I guess they get a pass from conservatives when it comes to this. 

It's becoming a news site like all the others. 

The BEST Hot Coco

 Hands down. 

Try it out. We have some at our local Brookshires. 

Never go with anything else. This is top shelf coco to me!

Return of the Santa Bowl?

 A few years ago I had to leave on a business trip and miss the Santa Bowl. I left someone else in charge to run it...and they didn't have it. 

It happened the next year and then after that I had the twins. I miss playing the 2nd weekend of December. The game would've been today if it were still going on.

But once you stop a tradition it's very hard to get it back on. 

I was contacted by someone today asking if we were still holding it and wanting to attend if we were. After a brief discussion I am considering bringing it back once again. It takes a lot of planning (and ALL of my flags, whistles, tees, pumps, cones, etc) that I bought for the annual game went missing a long time ago when someone asked to borrow them, then said they gave them back to me. (which they didn't) So buying all that again would cost a few hundred dollars which is an issue.

Yet still....I do miss this holiday tradition, so we shall see. 

Gone already?

 Ever since Thanksgiving I've noticed they stopped selling these. 

I had 3, one for each week they were available. 

Really? That's it?

This is hogwash. I may be done with McDonald's completely after this year. The only sandwich on the menu I ever order and they can't even keep it in stock for longer than a month. 

Screw'em.

The Mets sign Verlander!

 Hot dog!

Oh wait....it's not 2017. It's 2022. 

And he's no DeGrom.....

Typical Mets moves. 

Next season's going to suck.

We Wish you a Turtles Christmas (Review)

 Oh man...I had to watch it. 

I'd never seen it before and just found out about it last week. I loved the turtles back in the 90's. But what they did to them in this Christmas special was atrocious. 

It's a combination of poor quality music videos around Christmas with the Turtles. 

It's awful. 

But again...I just had to see it. 

Thankfully it was only 20 min long. 

Tis the season. 

Hell Freezes Over

 You've got to be kidding me. 

We get the biggest bozo in college sports today. Who is coming off a fresh new scandal from Liberty with another young woman. 

So encouraging to see the future of Auburn. 

We are losing commits left and right now. 

Meanwhile at Colorado they're getting several transfers coming to Prime Time Sanders. 

Way to go Auburn. 

I predict he doesn't last over 3 seasons. 

What a loser.

The Waltons (review)

 I started the series back in August during my vacation. 

As of last week...I've finally done. 

This show is EXCELLENT! One of the best, hands down. I mean it. 

Story lines that establish continuity between characters and arcs that last seasons. It's beautiful and way ahead of its time for TV shows in its day. 

I was VERY impressed. 

The best characters are the grandparents. But when Grandma had a stroke (in real life) they couldn't use her as much and she faded from the story. Grandpa, who is arguably a better character than John Boy, died after season 6 and that's when the show took it's first hit. 

John Boy leaving after Season 5 didn't hurt the show as much as Grandpa's death did. 

But the show had the Mom and Dad in the lead to keep you glued....until the mother bowed out midway through season 8 and the Dad was written out after the first 6 episodes of season 9....and that's when the series dips noticeably.

I even watched the TV movies for the show as well and while they weren't bad there was one glaring continuity issue. John Curtis, the son of Mary Ellen was on the show for 4 seasons and wasn't even mentioned in the movies. It's bad because Virginia, who was only featured in the last 2 seasons WAS mentioned! How could they forget about John Curtis???

Either way, believe me. The series was GREAT. Some of the best TV out there TODAY!

Watch it. 

Out with a Bang

 It's over. 

I can't find the drink anywhere and there's no discounts when buying online. Their "black Friday" sale was 20% off.....pathetic. 

So now that I'm out of drinks, I'll be in search of a new energy drink to take it's place. Don't know what so far but I'll be on lookout from here on out. 

It was a good run for Bang, sorry to see them go. But when they aren't available in my area, it's time to look for something more convenient. 

Jack Frost (Review)

 I've never seen this movie before but it always pops up on my streaming service whenever I look up Xmas movies so this year I thought I'd give it a shot. 

Michael Keaton plays Jack Frost, I musician with a kid he doesn't see that much when he's alive. But when he dies in a car accident he comes back to life as a snowman (similar to the one he and his son had built the year before together)

For that Xmas, the 2 bond like they never before did. 

It's ok. Fun for families. I have to admit, for something that came out in 1998 it feels like this should've been an 80's movie. It has all the tropes. 

Magic brings him back to life, corny "snow" jokes and a soundtrack. (which reminds you it's 1998) Again, not bad but something I probably won't watch again...at least until my kids get a little older.
