Excellent choice; how could I forget them? Some of their sketches are just the best you will ever find in this genre. Honestly, I am much less enamored with their movies. "The Life of Brian" is their best IMHO, the others are just meh...

First round goes to Leon and the Oilers!

Does humor belong in music? Nick Mason, Pink Floyd's drummer, certainly thinks so. His 1981 album, "Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports", consists of songs written by jazz great Carla Bley and sung by ex-Soft Machine drummer Robert Wyatt, in general with a funny twist. Example: "Siam", with an Asian-sounding melody and references to tea, opium, and Siamese cats...

It is sad that Magnus Carlsen (the chess player with the highest Elo rating ever; world champion 2013-2023) decided that he is not motivated anymore to participate. I just hope that he does not follow in Bobby Fisher's footsteps who became world champion and developed later in life increasingly bizarre behavior (although he was never diagnosed officially with a mental illness).

Great pic! Especially because it shows that even bald eagles sometimes neglect grooming before leaving the roost. The flight feathers are a mess.

I completely agree with your statement, but, for Heaven's sake, it is "would have gone", not "would have went".😁

A view not from TV, but from the sidelines. My son played tuba in the Longhorn band until last fall, and he very much preferred Mitchell over Worthy. In his words " The reason many people remember Worthy more is because he is the more explosive of the two and played a lot of kick/punt returner as well. He’s a very good receiver and of course very fast, but struggled with drops at times especially on deep routes, which was very frustrating. Mitchell is solid, consistent, and still pretty fast. Best of all he is a big target for contested catches and was a touchdown machine last year." My vote goes for Mitchell at 33.

The 10th Commandment in the Bible (Exodus) forbids me to cheat - "Do not ... covet thy neighbors wife". Can you please point me to the verse(s) where the Bills and Chiefs are discussed?

According to whose rules? In the real world, it happens all the time (USA/Russia, Israel/Hamas,...).

Do you really mean that? According to your logic, because the chiefs have won championships, every one of their moves must be better than every one of ours.

TV A 1950s/1960s Western on INSP or GRIT, like Wagon Train or High Chaparral. Movie Whenever I see My Cousin Vinny on the schedule, I have to tune in, even if it is just for the last half hour or so .

Two more recent ones: 1) Wrong present perfect: "I have went to the store" is wrong; it should be "I have gone to the store" (or "I went to the store"). 2) "of" instead of "have", because of similar pronunciation: "I should of gone to the store" is wrong; it should be "I should have gone to the store".

Let's go Leon! Let's go Oilers! Well, I am German and he is the best German player at the moment.

Certainly not, but it is easier to understand the chemistry of a battery that produces a stream of electrons (DC). It is much more difficult to grasp how you can make the electrons go back and forth in a wire (AC).

I assume you wrote this only to get some response from Irv, but the underlying statistics are wrong. According to whirlpool, in 1986 25% of the US households owned a microwave; in 1997, the number had more than tripled to 90%. The divorce rate actually sank slightly from 1986 to 1997.
