Annie Haslam in the zone...

... she knows it, too, you can tell.

1 in 8 people have worked at McDonald's...

... according to a new ad I just saw. I'm not sure if that is a tragedy or a comedy.

I'm not one of them, though I did work for a competitor for awhile.

Favorite Video Game Soundtracks

Video games, if you don't know, frequently have amazing soundtracks. I was wondering what were some favorites of Lounge denizens? Here's mine:

It really reflects the game's plot.

The Stones still got it

I guess the guitar solo could be longer, if I were picking nits.

But that's a classic car. And Sydney Sweeney looks pretty good, too.

What kind of idiot threatens a guard with a handgun?

For some reason, my random YT picks have been inundated with videos of people harassing the Household guards at Buckingham palace, or the US Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Some of these clowns point hanguns at the guards, or clubs or other weapons, or try to grab the horses of the Horse Guards.

I know there are a lot of fools out there, but what would compel someone to do something so idiotic? They usually end up in front of a magistrate, which I guess is the high point of their vacation.

I've lived too long...

I just learned that there are organizations called "Major League Eating" and "International Federation of Competitive Eating," and now I want to curl up in a corner and cry.

Last Pirate to get 40+ HR in one season: Willie Stargell in 1973.

I saw this stat today and was frankly shocked. With the helium-inflated baseballs in use since the 90's and the emphasis on the long ball, every other team in baseball has had at least one 40+ HR hitter in the 21st century. Fifty years for the Pirates.

Man, I knew they were bad, didn't know they were that bad.

I'm tired of the threats, I'm tired of the media hanging on to everything DJT does...

... the overblown rhetoric, the fear-mongering of the media, the breathless bombshell reports that come every time Donald Trump gets a hangnail... I am sick and tired of hearing about this jerk and the jerks who love him.

He crawled to his indictment like a whipped dog, and all the Manly Men swearing Revolution Now were conspicuously absent. How long do we need this pattern repeated to understand that Donald Trump is not worth a pitcher of warm piss, as John Garner said? Will there ever be a time he is treated with the contempt he deserves, rather than validated and exalted by a bunch of spineless pundits out for a few more clicks?
