    I haven't been to a tanning booth in a while.

    Looking online I had no idea there were so many options these days.

    Can I get a red spray tan?

    What was that stuff Johnny Bench used to endorse?

    Speaking of birthdays (and pivoting in a lighter-hearted direction) ...

    Suppose you randomly selected N people. Your goal was to have a big enough group of people such that the likelihood that at least two of them had the same birthday was 50%. How many people would you need to select (on average)? What if you wanted that likelihood to be 99%?

    Holy crap.

    In looking for Johnny Bench Krylon images I found another one that's fabulous!

    Poindexter, you out there?

    He had a turntable!

    The 8-track, shag rug..cool.

    I can tell you that's a Dual turntable. The plinth and counterweight give it away. Might be a Pioneer receiver. Very bad to have the gear on the shag like that. Heat issues.

    Ian Gillan from Deep Purple, yeah, he sings on the album Bench is looking at.

    The first time I saw Bench up close I thought he had a big mellon. I do as well, so no harm meant.

    Oct. 25 is also the 27-year anniversary of Bill Buckner's error ending Game 6 in Shea Stadium.

    Here's one - my wife's brother died six hours before our daughter was born. Same day. Yeah, that date won't be weird every year or anything.
