Facepalm!

 

You Can Never Go Home

 

One of the best romcoms ever, When Harry Met Sally. And they just tried a little mini-reunion. 

I want to remember them the way they were in that movie. And sure, Billy Crystal looks older, but he still looks like Billy Crystal.  

Meg Ryan doesn't even look like Meg Ryan anymore.

I don't know whose idea this was, but they should have left well enough alone. 

And I'll just remember the "I'll have what she's having" scene.

 

Separated At Birth?

 

Hmmmm.....pretty close.

But the funny part was about the person who first posted this....

As one commenter said, that's not "the statue of Mona Lisa" and that's definitely not Keith Urban. That person needs a serious lesson on popular culture or a new set of glasses.

Some People Are Crazy

I always really liked this house on Gulf Shore Boulevard in Naples. It had almost an understated elegance, with different construction materials and lots of architectural interest. 4,300 square feet.

And just a half block from the Gulf of Mexico.

I was surprised that it just sold for 13.5M$ in December. Wow.

But I was more surprised when I walked by it yesterday and - there it was, gone!

Who in their right mind would pay 13.5M$ for a house and then tear it down? 

Crazy!

And what's even more crazy?

This little cottage is listed at 17M$!

And Yet He Still Dresses Like A Flood Victim

 

Good on him.

I can identify.

With the flood part, not the $400 Billion part...  

Class Acts

The Buffalo Bills beat the Baltimore Ravens 27-25 on Sunday to advance to the AFC championship game. 

One of the reasons they won was that Ravens tight end, Mark Andrews, had a costly fumble in the 4th quarter and then couldn't hang on to a two-point conversion attempt which would have tied the game with a minute left.

Even though throughout his career, he had been Mr Reliable that didn't stop Baltimore Ravens fans from throwing up the hate at him on line, he was even receiving death threats.

In his seven-year NFL career he had just 32 dropped passes, with only three drops in 2024, on 69 attempts. And he had zero fumbles during the regular season. 

So the Bills Mafia - the nickname given to the Buffalo Bills rabid fan base - took matters into their own hands. 

They set up a GoFundMe page for Andrew's charity, that treats people with Type 1 Diabetes, and it already has raised over $70,000. (Update: now up to $110,000.)

Now that's what class loos like.

Well, maybe not always.....

Wait, There's More

 

So this poor weather guy from the local station here obviously drew the short straw and had to schlep himself the five hours all the way up to Pensacola, Florida. (Truth be known - he's actually the chief meteorologist in Fort Myers.)

Where he found was what I had been blogging about already; it's snowing there. 

And a lot. They had already received over 6" of snow yesterday. That doubles the previous record - from 1893. 

The temperature was 23°F, which I think was also a record. 

I'm not sure if this is also a record, but you don't often see snow on palm trees. 

Oh, I long for the good old days....

I Guess They Were Right

 Ottawa?

No, Houston.

Highway 11 going to North Bay?

Nope,

Nope.  highway I-10 in Florida

The US/Canada border?

What - you can't read?

It's the Florida-Georgia line.

North Bay, Ontario?

Nope.  Baton Rouge, Louisiana (some of these are too easy).

Glad that's all over!

Not Again!

 Every time you turn on the TV......

And then...

And more....

And still more...

Somebody's got to do something about it!

No, Just Embarrassing

 

Act like you've flown before.

But the article was actually about pilots reaction to people clapping, and saying they can interpret that passengers are amazed that the plane landed safely.

On the other hand, if it was a windy and turbulent descent maybe an appreciation to the pilots for them landing them safely. 

My dad, who was a pilot, when asked what is a good landing, would often say, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

Okay, so I guess it wasn't only my dad who said that....

Although for these passengers, I would think it's likely that they're just happy they've landed at their vacation destination.

But, per an earlier blog post - see So Close for a refresher - they can also be relationship killers....

 

How Else Can You Pok the Caw?

 

Like Father Like Son...

 

I Just Looked In The Mirror

 

How the Hell did that happen!?

The Sea Was Foggy That Day, My Friend

 

Never seen anything like it.

The sea fog was so thick I couldn't see my hand 6 inches in front on my face!

Oh wait, there it is.....

But it still was pretty foggy......

Back When Everybody Wasn't So Uptight

 

Well, It's That Time Of Year Again

 

....chillin' Iguanas dropping out of trees.....

Is That A Polar Vortex Or Are You Just Happy To see Me?

 

Accuweather just posted their most recent forecast about an upcoming (no pun intended) ice storm.

As one reader posted, "Looks like the whole country is getting the shaft!"  Ba da boom!

Keep small children and pets - and your girlfriends - indoors......

That'll Do, Pig
