That's a pretty bold forecast. (not to imply they are off the mark)

Yeah, I had to chat with customer service as that was the only way I could find to report it. If I hunted around there are probably ones available for all teams, or at least the ones still playoff eligible. I'm sure they design one for every team just in case. Just funny to find one searching for blankets.

OK, lets let that be the extent of politician joking in here. Most times its all good, during election year, I'm afraid of where it would go. Jokes about one sides candidates meant to be funny are taken as attacks by the other side, yada yada yada.
 
Haha!! Reminds me of me last night! I bought a new pair of cheater readers from the drug store but bought the wrong magnifier? Strength [emoji57] usually just get the lowest but these were sooo strong I swear I was seeing like when you put on those 3D glasses at movies! Things were popping out at me
I said to hubby OMG I it's like I can see in 3D!!!

Sorry for the long read in advance, but it's too good not to share it here.

A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in Alberta when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.
The driver, a young man in a Brioni® suit, Gucci® shoes, RayBan® sunglasses and YSL® tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"
Bud looks at the man, who obviously is a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?"
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell® notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3® cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop® and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany...
Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot® that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL® database through an ODBC connected Excel® spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry® and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet® printer, turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Bud.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
Then Bud says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"
"You're a Member of the Government", says Bud.
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"
"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked.
You used millions of dollars' worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep.

Now give me back my dog.

Great!

It reminds me of of this joke...

How many Government Employees does it take to change a light bulb?

Five...one to hold the bulb, two to hold each of the man's legs and spin him around, and a Project Manager and a Senior Project Manager to supervise the whole project.

Thanks. Now I know what's wrong with the Vulcan. He was a Senior Project Manager.

Try convincing those who see rats and faces on Mars of that. Lots of Luck
Most are just optical illusions.
Some are plain strange mistakes. The original reference to "canals" on Mars was two things.

The Italian observer Schiaparelli said "canali" That's Italian for Channel and he was right. Americans saw Canals not realizing the real meaning of canali, even thought they are the same root.

Percival Lowell had a scope built to study Mars. It's a beautiful refractor, 24". He used such high magnification that the canals he saw were actually shadows of blood vessels in his eyes.

Between the two errors, people are expecting "little green men" monsters like War of the Worlds, critters like Barsoom's.

The newest theory which might be proven if we ever get to Mars is Panspermia. Let the applecart upset begin.

I think that's listed as a horror/comedy? How gruesome is it? I like suspense & can stand some gross/scary stuff, but I won't see that if it's got too much horror in it.
