Monday Mop-up

Quite a weekend, wasn't it folks?  A lot of footballery and whatnot (particularly whatnot) occurred.  There was something rather large that happened, though.  Let's see, um...what was it...it's on the tip of my tongue...

Wrap your arms around him like a tortilla made of joy!!!

That's right, following a mention right here on this very blog last Friday, Chipotle enthusiast and previously catch-less Adam Shaheen of your Chicago Bears did what non-burrito-believers thought would never be possible.  He caught a pass.

Not just any pass.

A TOUCHDOWN pass!!!

Time to celebrate everyone!  Show us how excited you are!

With friends!

With food!

With, um, love?

Or, by yourself

That's good, thanks all.  Needless to say, it was a sparkling prediction, and totally happened because the coach of the Bears is a fan of mine.  Way to read Coach (hangongooglingwillbejustasec) Fox!  Glad you enjoy my casual cleverness and keen eye for talent so much.

Thanks to me (and to a lesser extent, Adam), the Bears won on Sunday,  I hope that the coaches of Houston and San Diego have learned their lesson.

Regarding the OTHER thing associated with football that happened over the weekend, allow me just a moment to say this.

This whole stupid blog thing is supposed to be a fun respite from work and other obligations for me.  Just a few minutes here and there to try to fire up my writing juices and post some dorky things that make me laugh.  I mean, I can't explain why I find the concept of crank-start cars so funny, but I do and feel compelled to share photos of it.

That's it Carl, just keep cranking until the car lurches into gear and kills you!

But, a side product of living in the real world is that it can make it difficult to thrash about in silly fake ones.  Our goblin-in-chief's sheer ignorance and intolerance has and will have monumentally negative impacts on everything under, and including, the sun.  And the near-daily reminders of his utterly putrid mentality and politics can make it hard to muster enthusiasm for 500 words about tacos.

Clearly, my opinion on the situation currently roiling is pretty clear.  I'm not much into hashtag joining, nor have I ever felt comfortable with online soapboxing.  It's just not my thing.  But, I did want to mention this today.  This blog is a very tiny and insignificant slice of freedom.  If others wish to speak their mind louder and about exponentially more crucial topics, they should absolutely be allowed.  Not only that, they shouldn't be called or considered un-american.  I can't think of anything more patriotic than speaking up about equal rights and fairness.

Although, in all honesty, making fun of these folks is nearly, almost, pretty much practically as patriotic.

"No, these shoes don't have any traction, why do you ask?"

Heh, stupid car.  USA!  USA!
