Been telling my wife that Baby GTO's hair is out of control and he needs a haircut now for a couple of weeks. She didn't think so, but I told her he looks like a baby Mark Twain. I sent her the picture below and she's now on her way to the haircut place.

I don't remember if we discussed it before but I noticed last night that there was a sequel to Showgirls made in 2011. Could it be worse than the original?

I noticed it when I was looking through Multi Plex on Roku looking for something to watch. I did see they have Street Trash. I saw that once before it was banned. I need to see it again.
 
Ran across some pilot humor and thought WX (and perhaps others) might appreciate it:

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are
renowned as a short-tempered lot. They not only
expect one to know one's gate parking location, but
how to get there without any assistance from them. So
it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747)
listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt
ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign
Speedbird 206.

Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active
runway."

Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha OneSeven."
The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to
a stop.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are
going?"
Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our
gate location now."

Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird
206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?"

Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was
dark, -- And I didn't land."
 
try to make this a short dodgeball update:

So, we are suuuuuuuuuuper missing our good thrower/catcher guy from last year. We are ok at throwing, but not great at catching. Or the teams we've played are really good at catching. We lost, bigly. This team had a chant before each game. I may have to modify my post from last week saying that the sign of a douche team was a boombox. I'm adding team chant to that list.

So this season may be kinda sucky. Twoballs didn't show up, sorry to disappoint with no stories there. Actually, a lot of people didn't show. The guys had to play the whole game and we had four girls so we swapped each game. Oh I did probably get hit in the foot once but I heard no whistle and couldn't be sure it didn't bounce off the floor so I kept playing. It was the 2nd to last game and were were down like 6-1 at that point. I'm a cheating badass.

Before we played, their team was talking in the hallway about baseball and the one girl was like "oh I hate the Cubs. Just hate them." She went on for a bit about that. IDK that seemed bizarre. I could understand not caring for them or whatever, but hate? Don't you usually hate a team for being a threat or IDK, good? Maybe this girl was a reborn Edwardian woman and she remembers the good old days of the 1900's.
White Sox fans tend to hate the Cubs. So do Cardinals fans. Is she from Missouri or the South Side of Chicago?

That one never get's old. Here is another one along with a website full of them.

Allegedly, a Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following:
Lufthansa (in German): “Ground, what is our start clearance time?”
Ground (in English): “If you want an answer you must speak in English.”
Lufthansa (in English): “I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?”
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): “Because you lost the bloody war.”
