Learn Something New Everyday Thread

I just realized that the song Big Bird and the Beast sing in the Birdie and the Beast episode is a parody of the Something There song from the Disney movie, Beauty and the Beast. I guess it's not one of those songs from the movie that sticks with me, even though the song from Sesame is catchy.

So apparently, WGBH in Boston, Massachusetts is still airing Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.

Go figure though because my PBS affiliate which is NHPBS dropped the show altogether a few years ago.

Apparently COPS was still a show, because it's just been canceled amid all of these protests. I honestly can't even remember the last time I even watched that show.

Pfft... I haven't watched that show since 2016.

My mom was still surprised to find out that it was a show when I told her the news yesterday.

Apparently Trump likes to eat a lot of fast food, because he thinks it makes him seem more like any other ordinary American.

Trump always ate a lot of fast foods. Never thought that was the reason to make him more American.

Fast food is good in the moment...but a prolonged diet of it has taxing effects. I know this because my grandfather and dad do not have good eating habits. They've had health setbacks as a result: mental decline, sluggishness, etc. Grandpa had a stroke thirteen years ago and is now confined to a wheelchair. Then Dad had one three years ago, and his memory has suffered.

If Trump continues down that road, he might have a similar fate. Maybe he should watch Super Size Me!

I think he's a little too far gone already, IMO.

Why It Pays to Be Grumpy and Bad-Tempered

Being bad-tempered and pessimistic helps you to earn more, live longer and enjoy a healthier marriage. It’s almost enough to put a smile on the dourest of faces.

So, all of you who have complained over the years about me being a negative pessimist, I'll still be alive and kicking while you're six feet under.
