I'm in hell.
A lot of the coaches at smaller schools tend to send their tournament invites statewide so that other small schools, even if it's a drive, can get involved. Normally, this is fine. I tell the kids about the close ones and ignore the rest.
Today, however, has been a going on 3-hour back-and-forth argument in reply-all about a joke one of the coaches made. It's like watching a couple confront each other about the dating app still on one of their phones, but they've locked all the doors so you can't escape.
I'm not even going to the tournament. I don't need to know. Aaaaaaaaaaah

"Hi, I'm Quibblemuch."
"Hi, nice to meet you."
"So... what do you do?"
"I'm the guy who invented Reply All in email."
"SUCKER PUNCH!"
"Yeah, I get that a lot."

It's well known among gremlins that Reply All was an incredibly subtle yet powerful invention by a particularly creative and forward thinking gremlin. It is sublime!

I recall reading some years ago about an observatory that began receiving irregularly timed signals that lasted from one to five minutes at a time. They were in the microwave end of the frequency, and that's what led them to find out it was the actual microwave oven in the breakroom.

I remember that episode of Out of Sight, Out of Mind! Helen Keller distracted Robespierre with her wiles, allowing Frankenstein's monster to punch his way to the guillotine and rescue Marie Antoinette. They then all traveled through time to 2010s NYC, where Marie opened a bakery with Mary, Queen of Scots. I think they were trying a back-door pilot for an odd-couple style spin-off called Mary, Marie, Quite Contrary, but the network didn't pick it up.

I told my wife about that last post and she just shook her head and said: "This is why you don't watch TV and want to cancel all the streaming services."
She's not wrong.

Every time I tell Orthos about the random kid quotes like that, they just short-circuit for a minute and shake their head.

"Remember, kids: if they ever go with a Gatsby theme for prom, you need to stand awkwardly in the rain, buy way too many flowers, and present your date with a scrapbook of at least a year's worth of their social media posts."
