As I’ve said before, Carlos and I love Jeopardy and watch it most nights, playing along. But the other night we got stumped by the final Jeopardy question:

“Missionary William Ellis  reported in 1825 that ‘his bones were preserved and considered sacred’ by the people of Hawaii.”

I said:

“Father Damian”

“Who?”

“Father Damien, Part of Hawaii was a leper colony back in the day so they’re probably honoring him.”

“Oh—”

“Or it’s King Kamehameha.”

And both were wrong; it was Captain Cook, leading Carlos to say:

“Who?”

“Captain Cook. He was an explorer in the Pacific.”

“Captain  Kirk? From Star Trek?”

“What!??!! Captain Kirk? From a TV show? They saved his bones from when he died in 1825 even though he was in a TV show in the 1960s? Oh my god, do you think Star Trek was real and Kirk and the Enterprise traveled back in time to 1825 to explore the Hawaiian Islands?”

“I’m not talking to you for the rest of the night.”

I thought that was best.

This Tuxedo Says is from May 2021 …

"Tuxedo doesn’t wanna tell y’all how to vote, but he does think you’ve been getting it wrong for years."

And while he’d never tell you how to vote, he would demand that you, ahem, CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE!!

Texas Governor Hot Wheels followed Florida Governor Gogo Boots' lead by demanding that all rainbow Pride crosswalks be painted over because he Hates The Gays.

So, in a statement of support for the LGBTQ community, Oak Lawn United Methodist Church in Dallas decided to paint their front steps leading to the church in rainbow colors. Senior Pastor Reverend Rachel Griffin-Allison called it a demonstration of faith and inclusivity, conveying that every person is created in God’s image and deserves dignity and belonging. The church sees this not as a political stance, but as a commitment to love and support marginalized communities.

It's a sign of Resistance, too.

Many in The Cult have begun ranting that Obama built a basketball for anywhere between $200M and $376M court while president and that’s no different than Cankles erecting The Jeffrey E[stein Ballroom.

But here’s the deal, you neanderthals … no offense to actual neanderthals … Obama converted an existing outdoor tennis court into a basketball court by painting new lines and installing a couple of hoops and it cost nowhere near the hundreds of millions y’all claim.

He didn’t fucking bulldoze a house.

We had a small glitch with the kitchen this week. A cabinet felt off-center and there were some panels that weren’t the right ones, so I called the company and their contractor and designer came out to talk it over. Luckily, our contractor was here—he’s doing tiles work and installing new lighting—so we all were able to talk it out and get the problems solved … but not the problem of my mouth … so when their contractor asked if  one line on the wall was straight and Craig, our contractor, said there were no straight walls in any house he’s ever worked in, and I said:

“There’s nothing straight at all about this house.”

The designer, Carlos and I chuckled; the contractors didn’t get the joke. But as they were leaving the designer joked about not having a negative review on Facebook from me, and I said:

“I would never leave a bad review on Facebook. I’d just firebomb the office and torch the business to the ground.”

She laughed; I didn’t … for a couple of moments!
