It’s the end of the week, and despite being a shorter one due to the holiday, it felt longer for many. That’s the experience of working hard. Many of us likely feel as if Memorial Day was ages ago, not just a few days past.
Throughout this week, there was much talk about Bryce Harper’s unusual toothpaste habit. Instead of applying toothpaste to his toothbrush, he squirts it directly into his mouth. Curious about this, I decided to try it out myself. Last night, I attempted this method while brushing my teeth. It felt awkward, akin to using your non-dominant hand. If you decide to try the Harper method, don’t expect a transformative experience.
A staple in the world of comedy is the legendary Abbot and Costello “Who’s on First?” routine. It remains one of the most recognized and celebrated comedy bits. The humor revolves around misunderstandings of players’ last names. Although it might seem archaic, it holds its place in comedic history.
Switching to recent events, Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ space company, faced a significant setback. An attempt to launch satellites ended in an “anomaly,” which turned out to be a major explosion. This incident could have severe repercussions for future plans, especially concerning lunar missions.
On a different note, some people have had a rough week, such as those stuck on roller coasters. Getting trapped on a vertical lift hill isn’t an experience people relish. Recently, during a visit to Disney’s Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster, I realized my taste for such rides has waned with age. It’s less enjoyable now, particularly with the possibility of getting stuck.
In another amusement park saga, a man received a lifetime ban from Six Flags. His escapades on a roller coaster with chicken nuggets ended with him splashing sweet-and-sour sauce on other riders. This kind of behavior often leads to bans and reflects poorly on those who do anything for social media attention.
Let’s end with something light. Dogs reacting hilariously to lemons create simple, joyful content, right alongside classic depictions like dogs in paintings. Simple pleasures like these can brighten a day.
That’s it for this installment. Have a fantastic weekend!
