Smart idea. They pay to get you out there and the winner gets some money so it’s a sweet gig if you got a buddy who is willing to sue or be sued for stupid stuff.
The two people I know that went on Judge Judy did just that. I remember posting about it before and saying I had never seen those two together before. They made it all up.
 
I got up even earlier than usual so that I could go to work, put 6 hours in, and get out before stupidness hits.

Husband has taken on a PT job and has to open today. Had a gut feeling and checked the laundry hamper...his polo was still dirty. So here I am, the wash cycle JUST starting after the tub filled, waiting to throw the stuff in the dryer. (I ain't waiting for the dryer)

Husband gets home from work
"Wait, did you do laundry THIS morning?"
[I had woken him up really quick so that he wouldn't "panic" wake up about it]
"Yyyeeeessss..."
"Oh. Thank you. I had no clue."

I'm wondering if he thought I woke up to use the bathroom and discovered it...orrr...I'm confused.

Just febreeze it. When I worked at McDonalds we got two shirts. So I always wore a T-shirt under them and could get by if I had to.
 
The Lost World: Jurassic Park would have been way better if it had been told from the perspective of Roland Tembo (the late and great Pete Postlethwaite's character) instead of through Jeff Goldblum's Ian Malcolm.

Was he in the books? I never read them.

He just kind of disappeared from the movie but was certainly interesting.

I wish they would have either gone with similarities to 'Jaws' (eerie) or 'Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind' (more about the discovery) in the original. It's a classic but it's also basically just a monster movie and as time has gone on I dislike more characters.

Yeah, dropping your best character halfway through a movie is never a great idea.

Hammond, Grant (even if clearly written for Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones), and Malcolm are good characters with interesting things to say, perspectives, and developmental arcs throughout the film.

Three decent characters in a special effects/action movie is three more than you usually get.

But yes, the second half basically turns into a creature/haunted house film... but it is a really good one.
 
I do like that Tembo is an antagonist but not a caricature and despite originally being against and eventually cooperating with the protagonists, he doesn't change his moral compass.
 
How could he make the hall of fame if he isn't retired or were they betting on some Kansas basketball hall of shame?

The guy suing was making the point based on his current career so far that Hall of Fame isn't going to happen. It was the pro basketball HOF.
 
With cys trivia canceled, I feel it’s time to have RTT ISU trivia.

First question: who was Iowa states first 1000yard rusher?

Non sports:

Who is the longest serving President of ISU?
 
I'm going to guess George Amundson as the first 1000 yard rusher. Flat out guess.
You’re on a roll. To keep things going, how about who ever answers right, asks the next question. Thought it might be a little easy entertainment for a crappy day.
