Somehow I strained my quad muscle?! It hurts so much I wanna throw up, but it's still better than throwing my back out

Hmm, I should go back and note where this text quotes or alludes to the Bible
*sees that this has already been done*
Oh, good job, Past Me!

The new thing in my daughter's class is not to say "six seven" out loud anymore, but just to do the six seven gesture silently and randomly

This Old French law about when marriages can't take place includes "careme prenant des moines". "Careme" comes from "quadragesima", the 40 days of Lent, and "careme prenant" is the first Tuesday, so, Mardi Gras, simple enough. But what's this about "des moines"? Does it mean monks?

I have a Weird Mole™️, which seems like the sort of thing you should get checked out, so I went to the dermatologist. But apparently it's perfectly normal, sometimes a mole just grows its own second mole. Otherwise my skin is "perfectly healthy" 😎

The Simpsons episode that has aged the worst may be the one where Homer changes his name to Max Power and starts hanging around the rich and powerful in Springfield, who all turn out to be liberal activists

Everyone keeps talking about how this Jays team doesn't live up to the 1992 and 1993 teams, but this forgets the other tough losses along the way - 1985, 1987, 1989, 1991, when they weren't quite good enough to get to the World Series, or even the ALCS. This time they're just getting started!

My son dressed up as a jackalope for Halloween, and he kept telling people he was a cryptid. I told him there's a remote chance that people will know what a jackalope is, but it's much less likely that they'll know the word "cryptid." He was kind of disappointed, because cryptids are fun and cool

I don't think I've ever been able to physically feel my blood pressure rise like that before. It took me a couple of hours to calm down and fall asleep! Usually I'll put the sports highlights shows on as background noise in the morning but I can't do it today

Well, taking last year's winners to extra innings in game 7 is still pretty good...

I have a bad feeling that if the Jays can't win today they're not going to win tomorrow either

The Jays know how to *take* the lead, they just don’t know how to *hold* the lead. And that’s really the most important part of the lead, the holding. Anybody can just take them!

Time moves fast...my son to is already starting to apply to university.
I remember when I did this and it was all on paper! We couldn't even pick courses online back then. Now it's all on a website of course

Pretty cool that my car key is just a fob with a battery and there's no physical way to unlock or start the car when the battery dies. There is actually a physical key inside the fob but the car itself has no keyholes?! Neat

Honestly I thought just making it to the World Series was the best that could happen and the Dodgers would steamroll them in 4

Why does CityTV, which is owned by Rogers, show the Fox broadcast of the World Series (and the other playoff games), and the Canadian broadcast is on Sportsnet, which is also owned by Rogers, which also owns the team, and the stadium
