Today is 4-20, not that I know what that means.
To those of you celebrating, I just thought I would say high.
All this concern about third-party access to my Facebook data, when I don't even remember the first two parties.
A religious group claims the world is going to end April 23rd. If you can find any takers, wouldn't it make sense to bet them that it won't? If it doesn't end, you win. If they're right, they'll never collect!
From online: I need more friends that understand I still want to be invited even though I'm not going.

One thing you can say about President Trump: he never cheated on Khloe Kardashian. (hey, we're looking for things here)
A new study says that drinking more than five alcoholic drinks a week will shorten your life by 30 minutes. Thank God they didn't research the five-drinks-a-day scenario.
A study says sitting at a desk all day may damage the brain. I suppose then that it's a good thing that I'm not really working and just playing computer games.
It's Tax Day. You have to get your federal income tax returns postmarked before midnight tonight. Or catch that flight to a non-extradition country.

I saw somewhere online that we spend a third of our life yelling the word, "Representative" at our phones.
There's he-said/she-said. I see this whole thing as Comey versus Comb-over.
The snow continues to hit the Midwest. I've heard some people are calling this season ‘sprinter'. Then are those who say it's not really April, it's the 105th of January!

I'm old enough to remember when the only thing that streamed were streams.

From Skip Tucker: Damn Millennials. Walking around like they rent the place.
Pink is on the cover of People Magazine's annual "Beautiful" issue. Passed over again.
They did a study on the swearing habits of Americans. The average person makes it until 10:54am before uttering their first curse word. I must live on east coast time.
The original federal income tax deadline this year was Tuesday. But the I.R.S. had a computer glitch, so they extended the day to Wednesday. It was like a really bad horror version of Groundhog's Day.

I wonder if when he was a kid, Jersey Mike's mom yelled at him, "Jersey Michael!"
Bruce Murdock was wondering if its OK for vegetarians to eat Animal Crackers? Curious minds want to know.
From Skip Tucker: If you can't think of a word, say, "I forget the English word for it." That way, people will think you're bilingual instead of just an idiot.
