Small things 13 Nov

• "Make America rake again" ~schwag you can buy from Four Seasons Total Landscaping (site of a messed up Rudy Giuliani press conference)
  
  
  
• POTUS won't go-tus
• Can we call him POUTUS now?
• Waiting for election results in 2020 was like waiting for an mp3 to download in 1994.
• There are 3 things many workers now know thanks to Covid. You actually can work from home. Most meetings are avoidable. Pants are over-rated.
• The saying "avoid it like the plague" doesn't have much weight anymore, considering that a lot of people don't do that.
• Remember when milk crates were acceptable furniture? Good times.
• Still waiting for Serious Putty..... [Someone in the back: "It's called C4"] Uh, never mind!
• I wonder if it's time to abandon political polling. It's more often wrong and just leads to strategic voting, the dumbest democratic idea ever.
• Mansplaining could be called "correctile dysfunction".
• Yes, we admit it. White folks steal lingo from other cultures. We tried to come up with our own lingo and landed on things like 'awesomesauce'.
• Before cable tv, the only channels you had access to fell between terrestrial television operates on analog channels 2-6 (VHF-low band), 7-13 (VHF-high band), and channels 14-51 (UHF). You could only get reception of tv stations that were within a reasonable distance and you needed an antenna, either mounted on the roof (for longer reach), or rabbit ears on top of the tv. The direction the antenna pointed mattered and was often different for each channel because of where the tv tower was located. One common annoyance was that if someone asked you to adjust the position of the rabbit ears, the moment you touched them the signal improved because now you were also acting as an antenna. But the minute you let go, reception often dropped off, so others in the room watching tv would try to convince you to stand there and hold the antenna.
• For your cat's birthday, just line up a bunch of things on the edges of tables, dressers, counters, etc. so they can knock it all onto the floor.
• Stop pressing the spatula down on the burger while cooking. No! Stop.
