An Englishman told me that the difference between Americans and the British are that Americans think 100 years is old and British think 100 miles is far. That was 20 years ago, and I still use that line.

Same episode.
Burns: How did my stocks do?
Homer (looking at the newspaper): Uh, they all won!
Burns: And my options?
Homer: You can get up, or stay in bed.

Not just a pandemic, a pandemic that followed an unprecedented world war. But yeah. (I, on the other hand, would like to point out that I'm no more unhinged now than I was pre-pandemic. I was pretty unhinged pre-pandemic.)

This seems like a good time to remind people that Jim Traficant became a folk hero in the Mahoning Valley for refusing to serve eviction notices to steelworkers who’d lost their jobs after the mills closed. He was actually jailed for a couple days for contempt.

The people running Major League Baseball are amazingly efficient businessmen who have absolutely no idea why people like their product and will, eventually, do more harm to it than anyone possibly could if that was what they specifically set out to do.
Actor Kevin Costner, the star of "Field of Dreams" and "Dances With Wolves," will endorse South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg this weekend, the campaign announced. The two-time Academy Award winner will introduce Buttigieg in Iowa.
The following is a transcript of a call I just took:
Caller: "My husband called you last night."
Me: "I work mornings, so I didn't take the call."
Caller: "He wanted you to come over and do a story, but he was drunk, so please don't come over."

290 down the right field line. That’s why they built the wall so high. (Deep left-center, by comparison, was 460 or so. League Park had, uh, interesting dimensions.)
Contract's been signed, manuscript's been delivered, so I feel comfortable finally making this social media official: Book

My wife and I met in our late 20s, by which time we were mostly fully-formed adults. We didn’t have to show each other any of these things. (My immaturity manifested itself in other ways.)
For me, it's when the bullpen door swings open and "Wild Thing" starts playing. Mostly because it seemed like science fiction when I saw it ... and then it came true six years later.

I recall very clearly a Fire Chief who was begging for a levy saying, “We went from heroes after 9/11 to greedy public employees in a hurry.”

@HistoryBoyle
went to the big classroom in the sky. I met him when I was 18, and to borrow a line from the Star Trek movie, it was the start of a friendship that would define us both in ways we had not yet realized. I was the first in a long line of his students...

A friend of mine who's been fighting cancer for nearly a decade said there's something wonderfully clarifying about COVID: It lets him know who really gives a shit if he dies and who doesn't.

@JoshFlagner
I was JUST having this conversation with
@historyboyle
. One of the reasons 9/11 was so jarring was because it came during a time everyone considered "the end of history." The Cold War was over. Things had changed for the better. At least, we thought.

I had a Saturday night that involved Rumple Minz. I was in such a bad way the next day I went to Mass just for the wine. Then I went to Grandma’s. She fed me and let me sleep it off. Then started busting my balls about being hungover. I miss her.

My grandfather would eat heads of garlic like they were apples. One time, my father said, “Jesus, did you eat a whole head of garlic?” Charlie said, “Well, yeah, but I had a piece of gum afterward. You can still tell?”
