New game for you all: ask google what a made-up phrase means.
The phrase "hoop hoop hoop hoop hoop" can be interpreted in a few ways. It's most likely a playful or humorous way of saying "basketball" or referring to playing basketball, as "hoops" is slang for basketball. However, it could also be a simple repetition of the word "hoop" to emphasize the circular shape of a hoop, a ring, or the hula-hoop. The phrase "making the milk sizzle" likely refers to the act of causing something, particularly a product or idea, to be exciting, interesting, or even to be very hot. It's a metaphor for creating an emotional connection or a sense of excitement around something. The word "sizzle" itself suggests a hissing sound, often associated with food cooking in a pan, and this sound is used to describe the emotional impact of a product or idea on a customer. The phrase "stringing beans for pleasant means" suggests a pleasant social activity or event, often involving family or friends, where green beans are being prepared or eaten according to the Dictionary of American Regional English.

One of the ways I know that I am aging is the increasing frequency of my too late realization that the package I just opened with scissors was actually resealable.

Dry January but only because I forgot to fill my CPAP with distilled water.

If you want to confuse and disorient me, you need only to equip a restroom with an automatic soap dispenser and a non-automatic sink faucet.

The Natural by Bernard Malamud. Doesn't quite go the way the movie did. The line that sticks with me is "I never did learn anything out of my past life, now I have to suffer again."

My most exhilarating #StarWars moments of the Disney era:
Jedi Kanan Jarrus using the force to temporarily shield himself and his family from an explosion so they can escape to safety in one of the final episodes of Star Wars Rebels. Kylo Ren realizing he has been deceived as he stabs his lightsaber uselessly through the force projection of Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi. During the climactic space battle above Scarif in Rogue One, a Hammerhead Corvette transport ship pushes an immobilized Star Destroyer into another Star Destroyer, ultimately destroying both as well as the shield gate preventing access to the planet. IG-11 strides though a flowing river of lava to save Grogu and Din Djarin from an ambush by a group of stormtroopers in The Mandalorian.

Panic! At The Disco, but "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's Saturday night" is all sung as a yawn.

How many high schools with "West" in the name are using "Go West" by the Pet Shop Boys as a stadium or pep band song? My guess would be: not enough.

Saw three teslas lined up at a traffic light. One of them had had all the logos removed.
