Some Idle Musings

It has been a while since I have posted on here but I have been busy with my job and have really been unable to come up with one motivating topic on which to opine. So I have a couple of musings I would like to get into

1. Obviously you have noticed the lack of NFL picks this year. What with the lack of true homefield advantage and the rescheduling games due to COVID, it would be a fool's errand to get into it. I will however make two predictions. Chiefs will go to the Super Bowl and the Jets will go 0-16. 

2. 

    Dear fucking lord, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

3. Speaking of PBS, it seems the Republicans did not learn from Mitt Romney's Big Bird fiasco in 2012. Only this "Mr. Rogers" thing from the town hall seems to have cut even deeper. And the Republicans know it. That's why they sent the lady who said it, Mercedes Schlapp, onto Fox News to do damage control. And it was bad on so many levels. Not only is basically insulting a great man not a good idea, but he's a Pennsylvania icon. Pennsylvania; a swing state. There's a nice plan to win an important state. Wrong and STUPID.

4. I know young girls from the 80s might try to deny it and I know that one of the actresses might have a problem with it because of her religious feelings, but I can't deny what my eyes see and saw:

Blair Warner (Lisa Whelchel) and Jo Polniaczek (Nancy McKeon) had an intimate chemistry. I don't think it was played intentionally at all; I think it was meant to show strong friendship. But it's there. Do I believe they (the characters) would actually get together? Not really. Do I think it's possible that they got drunk together one night and decided to experiment? Absolutely. And I am clearly not the only person who thinks so. 

Also the amount of hair spray in Nancy McKeon's hair must have been ungodly.

5. We are approaching Christmas time, which it means it is the evil return (although some people would probably be more preferable this year) of the Hallmark Christmas movies. Last year, I went into a diatribe over the generic plots of the movies and the fact that they all seemingly had the word "Christmas" in them. Well in 2020, Hallmark, SOMEHOW, made 23 of these movies. TWENTY-THREE. Where did they make him, in a sealed chamber? A Truman Show like bubble? Anyway, out of the 23 new movies, how many of the movies had the word "Christmas" in the title?

19.

NINETEEN.

"Chateau Christmas", "On the 12th Date of Christmas", "Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Sweater", "Christmas with the Darlings", "Christmas in Vienna", "A Timeless Christmas".
