I, For One, Did Not Know This.

This is a Good Point!

Sometimes I worry that Katz’s deli doesn’t get enough credit for insisting on proper grammar for its iconic sign.

Thoughts. I Have Them.

If it’s not revealed in the end that Valerie Malone is the sinister stalker in the BH90210 reboot there will officially be nothing left to believe in.

“A Different World” Thought.

Sitcom characters say some strange things but Denise Huxtable claiming the pizza at Hillman College is “the best I’ve had in a really long time” after spending her first 18 years in Brooklyn borders on the clinically insane.

Thoughts. I Have Them.

I’m just saying, I for one don’t wanna be in the room when America finds out Dr. James Naismith was born in Canada.

The Irony is Thick with This One.

A Few Thoughts on ESPN’s Latest “30 for 30” Doc

1. Kobayashi recalling how quickly America turned on him is heartbreaking to watch

2. The contest should kiss his ass - before him, nobody cared. He made it, 100%

3. Joey Chestnut’s voice is exactly like Scott Brosius’

4. This ad for the doc is ridiculous

Questions. I Have Them.

With the exception of a few people in the annex, Dunder-Mifflin was an open office - did they really need to have meetings in the conference room for its many impromptu “meetings”? Couldn’t Michael just have stepped out of his office and start talking? 🤔🤷‍♂️

Conversations with a 7 Year-Old:

Her: (taking my hat off my head) your hat smells just like you...

Me: oh cool, thanks.

Her: ...aaaaaaaaaaand your hat smells gross.

Me: ah.
