3 Screenshots from the movie "Back to the Future" (1985): First, a close-up of a young man and woman dressed in 1950s attire, gazing affectionately at each other on a dance floor, evoking a pivotal romantic moment. Second, a digital display showing "Nov 12, 1955" as the destination date, central to the film's time-travel plot. Third, an image of the town clock tower at night, with a dramatic lightning bolt striking the clock

A colleague microwaves fish every Friday lunchtime without fail. Instead of speaking to him like a functioning adult, I've started microwaving popcorn at 11.30a.m. so the office smells better before the seafood apocalypse hits. I will die before confronting him directly.

It’s 12 November, so it’s time to mark the 55th anniversary of the exploding whale of Oregon, an attempt to clear a cetacean carcass from a beach which prompted one reporter to say “The blast blasted blubber beyond all believable bounds”
Still from news coverage of the exploding whale, showing an enormous explosion on a beach

The current state of my brain, because nothing makes sense any more and I have been singing this out loud for the past half hour:
Hello, My Baby (Lyrics) - Michigan J. Frog - YouTube
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

There's no way in Hell this would happen. And if it does... well, I guess Thom might have a damn stroke.
Notification from ESPN discussing the Cincinnati Reds’ potential offseason move, suggesting they should sign Kyle Schwarber, a player from Middletown, Ohio (cue Thom Brenneman). The notification is titled "Perfect offseason move" and shows the ESPN logo along with a small Cincinnati Reds logo.

I just realized that as of today I have been at this job for eight years. I'm the longest tenured guy here. What does that get me? Heck if I know, but a good raise would be nice with the birthday in less than two weeks.

I see he must have been talking to Bob Huggins.

Huggs did the same thing at WVU, and both are former Cincinnati coaches.

Released 48 years ago today in the USA

"Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols," with the bonus track "Submission," which is also an outstanding song in my opinion.
