Two Night Court references I've read tonight. Gonna try to find my favorite episode.

I was just listening to a podcast and his when his name came up, one of the comedians (but clearly not joking) said, "and he was great at magic, right?"

Two mules can’t procreate with each other. Since a mule is a donkey/horse combo, they have an extra chromosome which prevents them from being able to breed with each other.

Yeah, that's why mule parties are always so wild.

This is the logo for Pace University:

The Pace "Setters!"

A nickname like that is almost worthy of our baseball league.

Time magazine listed them as one of the worst college mascot names
Santa Cruz Banana Slugs
U of HI Rainbow Warriors
NYU Violets
MIT Engineers
Pace Setters
St. Louis College of Pharmacy Eutectics
Long Beach State Dirtbags
Grays Harbor Chokers
U of Evansville Purple Aces
Evergreen Stated Geoducks

Evansville's mascot.

Time Magazine is a damn fool

I think those names are great. But, why is the Engineers bad, but Purdue Boilermakers doesn't make the list?

And, I guess they didn't include community colleges or Scottsdale CC would have surely made the list

The other night, on TCM, I watched the awesome 1950 Humphrey Bogart/Gloria Grahame movie, In a Lonely Place. The great host of TCM's Noir Alley, Eddie Muller discussed the picture afterwards, and related this story:

...In June, 1948, Grahame married her second husband, director Nicholas Ray. They divorced in 1952...
Grahame's fourth and final marriage was to actor Anthony "Tony" Ray, the son of her second husband Nicholas Ray and his first wife Jean Evans. Anthony Ray was her former stepson. Their relationship reportedly began when Tony Ray was 13 years old and Grahame was still married to his father (which effectively ended the marriage when Nicholas Ray caught the two in bed together).

I learned the television network and children's toy industries are squeamish about making concentration camp-themed toys.

That was a really good movie. Bogie really was amazing.

Feel like there is some lawsuit involving the university and "Batman: The Animated Series" for copyright violation, but not sure who is on which side of the aisle.

And, not sure why Long Beach State is listed with their baseball team's unofficial nickname instead of the actual mascot name, the 49ers.

I had no idea until today (thanks Sirius radio) that the shitty Sunday Night Football song was based off a Joan Jett song from the '80s.

I think the current one is a Miranda Lambert/Carrie Underwood knockoff. The old one was the Joan Jett Joint.

The D-III City University of New York Athletic Conference is made up of 9 schools from NYC including Medgar Evars College and the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. And then for baseball, they get one associate member - the University of Maine at Presque Isle.

And people think a European NFL team wouldn't work

They guy who invented the plastic pink flamingo's last name was Featherstone.

I didn't know until around this summer that women can't crap if there's another woman in the bathroom. I've been trying to convince The Woman to just quit putzing around and go, but she keeps saying she can't break the code.

YES! The idea of crapping and having that crap make noises while exiting is appalling to my wife. She is floored by the fact that I will sit in a public bathroom and dump with other people in the bathroom.

Whats the point of shitting if you don't force someone else to smell it?

Rest in piece, but I remember Bensell posting that he never shit in a public restroom if he could help it. I forget who, but somebody else said “me too” to that, I think.

I shit in a wal mart today. When I gotta go I am not picky.

You know they have bathrooms there, right?

No one noticed.

May have been me. I can take a dump at the gym but that's it - except in the every rare case of an emergency.

My issue lately is pissing. Doesn't matter if I take a leak before I take the dog to the park. Within 10 minutes, I have to go again. Washrooms are closed for the season, so I am becoming an expert on finding secluded trees to piss behind. (It is a large but very busy park).

Sad to think that I am well on my way to old manhood.

Me.

I learned this morning that waking up with a hangover the morning after your team wins the World Series makes said hangover much more bearable.

Uh, oh. Get that prostate tested. And get some Depends.

I wouldn't know. My last sports title was 1986. I was 10. I vaguely remember the Isles winning the 1983 Stanley cup, but I was too young to understand why they were dumping cans of Bud on each other.

I get that thing poked every year (by a doctor!)

Not at the Depends stage. It's a morning coffee issue. I swear.

I hear you Pruitt. As I age, my need for regular piss breaks continues to increase. In public places, I tend to go whenever we pass a decent restroom, even if I don't really have to go, because I know I'll need to go later and might not have as good of access at that time. I think it's a prostate thing and coffee seems to make it worse. I drink a lot of coffee.

Sad thing is that it will get even worse. My father is 82 and when he has to go, he has to go NOW. He is too damned stubborn/proud to wear Depends or something like that, so I've been with him a few times when his' pissed his pants for lack of a near enough restroom.

Albert Brooks (Simpsons, Marlin from Finding Nemo, etc) is the professoinal name for Albert Lawrence Einstein. His brother is Bob Einstein who most people know as Super Dave Osborne or Marty Funkhouser.

Albert Brooks did a hell of a lot more than that!

Albert Brooks was one of the most creative standups back in the day.

And the Einsteins' father was a famous comic who died onstage during a roast.
