The Likeliest State for this to Happen

Congrats to West Virginia University on winning the NIT.

Too bad the t-shirt company can’t spell VIRGINIA.

Ha ha ha, VIRGINA

Also, Fox Sports has noted this:

I Landed on Community Chest

YOU WIN BEAUTY CONTEST, COLLECT $20

Or not.

So I get an email, “Electronic Bill Notification,” regarding one of my monthly bills. This happens every month, of course. “Your xxxxx bill is available at xxxxx.com. To review your bill click here.” This is AWESOME NEWS because I HATE MONEY SO MUCH. So I click there. I have an expectation that the current damage is about $90.

Oh! Just kidding! Turns out it’s $160 less than that. Turns out my monthly car insurance premium has plummeted in the middle of my policy period, and they are sending me a check for the calculated difference.

I guess bills are not always bad?

Of course, now I will get into a car accident.

Poppa Didn’t See his Shadow

After wintering in locations unknown, Poppa has sprung into view again on Hillsborough Street. He looks spry, walks without assistance, and generally in a straight line. He seems to have lost a bit of weight, too. He was walking away from me when I saw him, but there was no mistaking that gait.

This is way more exciting than some damn groundhog being yanked out of the ground by a fat guy in a top hat.

That’s Not Gonna Control My Faucet!

Uh, I guess the AI at amazon.com is maybe not so great?

I was looking at bathroom hardware on there the other day. A showerhead and control knob. So I go to amazon today and here’s what it’s suggesting at me on the front page (click to view):

WTF Amazon

Hey, you want a faucet, right? Well, sounds to me like you’re the type of man who needs a shave! And judging by your interest in showers, I think you’d love a damn Escante Women’s Satin and Clipped Lace Vest with Tie Front and Matching Boxer!

NO THANK YOU JEFF BEZOS. That is a TERRIBLE “ALTERNATIVE.”

I am not among the 10% of your customers who start every home improvement project with big dreams and yet two hours after the package arrives from amazon.com, their showerhead still leaks, and they’re in the living room lounging on the sofa, wearing women’s underwear and a 5 o’clock shadow.
