Some tidbits for entertainment and some tips to help folks sharpen their troll-tracking skills...
Says the guy who spells the second-person pronoun with a "p."
3 more good wishes called out to the self-forgetting guy in the UConn Huskies sweatshirt at Best Buy and Oxmoor Mall in upscale St Matthews, KY this afternoon. Probably there'll be some more in Costco & wherever before some toddler time and yoga on the horizon. Yep, a lot of people here still 'knowingly' talk ish about an endless sea of Cletus & Brandeens in the Bluegrass.
Then again, I've just gotten a quarterly balance reload to spend on Medicare Advantage OTC products at Walmart, so yeah, they're out there, just as they are in CT & NJ.
A worthy thought, though sometimes I scroll up from the bottom of the page when reading a thread, and I got a surprise chuckle when I read the author on this one.
Absolutely.
Some posts & subsequent comments get a good, rolling, comic timing rhythm going, as can also be the case within some Subreddits.
I'd never logged into X on this phone until "Divine Providence" went up on YouTube in late January. Now, I can pick & chose when to click & how long to stay, though I mostly confine myself to CBB, as linked from here.
On the subject of BlueDemonDegen, I went back-and-forth several rounds with more than a couple Boneyarders on the 'authenticity' of "Big East Films," and the many simultaneous, "This can't be true!/How can The Big East be doing this?" upsets & moralizing, before things inevitably unraveled.
After seeing a casual alphanumeric data graphic about Georgetown's football history early on, and then noting that PC's mountainous success in 2022 culminated in their "losing by only 5 points to eventual champion Kansas," I smiled, pointed things out, and eventually resigned myself to enjoying the ride, while people complained about poor production values in the lighting & sound.
What I got wrong was surmising that it was conceived as a one-off (and from a Friar), even if it does seem to have turned out that way, for simple intellectual property reasons.
Thanks for the public service. Not bad for a traitor who abandoned UConn for PC, as has been argued elsewhere here as the post- season ramped up.
Last year I got as far as a couple, subtle, mutual appreciation nods with a PC fan who did a good job of reeling people back in whenever some folks wanted to let him go.
This year, I started saying, "It's trolling season" before the end of conference play. The lure of a troll can be very tempting. Consider...
As I was leaving Trader Joe's and getting back onto Shelbyville Road 90 minutes ago, I hadn't had anything to eat since breakfast, and right in front of me was an Arby's. Who knows what I've been missing by treating those with the meats as though it has been a particularly adept long-game troll?
I persist in clinging to the sensory memory of both taste & texture for those first 'roast beef' sandwiches 49(?) years ago. Or perhaps I can't escape it.
Oh sure, "But fish is fish" often pipes in. Or maybe a chicken sammich, just to get a stamp in some fantasized 'passport.' Or, could it truly be "real, slow-smoked brisket?" I even Googled a review for the frozen curly fries I saw as an ALDI Find late last week.
I keep telling myself to be strong. So far, it's prayers answered. Or is it?
Somebody said, "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." There must have been a reason for those words to have endured, right?
Go Huskies!
