I would like to see data on how many roads are “oversubscribed”, making the process of repairing/repaving them more of an ordeal and expense for all involved.

Huh. I was grazing thru the channels and wondered why the goalie’s helmet was matte black. I didn’t even notice the jersey number, 56, which is not really a goalie number (unless I’m missing a new trend).

Nice to know Bari Weiss found someplace else to be wrong about.

Seriously, I didn’t know. He always seemed like he just...materialized, in Greenwich Village in his early 20s. Thanx.

I do not get the “Black Guns Matter” poster.

The Warhol museum sounds interesting. Is there a Pittsburgh connection with him?

All the stars.

Wynonna singing MCC’s “Girls with Guitars” also hits home for me from that time. Lots of fun (incredible live), and also a song where a woman doesn’t need to be with a man to be herself.

Is this supposed to resonate with people (like me) who remember the original Gong Show and the Unknown Comic?

“The odds of surviving a surgical operation were appallingly slim.”

Last thing first: They can fix more than one rule at a time.

Ahh, I thought I remembered this happening. Good job digging it up.

It’s a good play, but I’ve been waiting for the competition committee to rewrite that rule for a few years.

Good point on the “so punting coverage guys can’t roll it forward towards the endzone”. I never thought about that, and considering the Raiders invented the Holy Roller, it’s really appropriate.

Miss Manners, in the days before the internet, once answered a reader who wrote about “someone else being oversensitive”.

I’m older than you, and there was a spate of “age body-switching” movies around at that time.

I don’t know which is crazier, the Andy Griffith, the George Washington, or the revenge fantasy version of Jefferson Smith. This is one shade removed from Dear Leader posters covering the dictator of your choice.

Same here.

they quickly became like pieces of the cross brought back from the crusades

It’s a great movie, and my key to its success are the tone of the scenes with the boy. Those are so not “Hollywood-kid-actor”.
