Quote of the Day: Not Always Right
A homeowner was having a yard sale. They happened to have an "OPEN" and "Hours" sign from their old store, so they put it up as a joke:
[A customer in a rather nice car pulls up.]
customer: “What kind of store is this?”
homeowner: "It’s a yard sale. I just happen to have the signs and thought they would be funny.”
customer: “Oh... okay.”
[The customer proceeds to browse for a few minutes.]
Customer: “Is this used?”
homeowner: “Yes.”
customer: “How about this? Is this used?”
homeowner: “Yes...”
customer: “WHAT NERVE DO YOU HAVE SELLING USED ITEMS? THIS IS THE WORST STORE I’VE BEEN TO!”
homeowner: “This is a yard sale. That’s generally how it works. People sell their used goods.”
customer: “I’ve never heard of nonsense like that. Nobody wants someone’s used things. I’m reporting you to the Better Business Bureau!”
homeowner: “Go right ahead. Have a nice day.”

"That'll Really Blow Your Mind"
Quote of the Day: Tumblr
Seen here:
"I think my favorite thing about the writing in Sleepy Hollow is that everyone behaves like fucking rational people. If any of the main four (Abbie, Ichabod, Irving, or Jenny) receives important information, they immediately share it with the group. Ichabod told Abbie right away that Moloch was definitely coming for her instead of keeping it to himself to try and 'protect her for her own good' or some bullshit like that. Irving asked for Abbie and Ichabod’s help in saving Macy without handing over Washington’s bible instead of just stealing it the first chance he got. They asked Jenny’s permission before watching her exorcism tape. On any other show, they would have just watched it, and Jenny would find out, and betrayed trust, and blah blah blah same old shit we’ve seen a hundred times before. They don’t need to manufacture drama, drama happens and the characters react rationally and drama still happens because they are caught up in huge events, but that’s no reason to act stupidly."

Quote of the Day: Anna Wilson
Anna Wilson is a high school sophomore. She is a highly-recruited 5'7" guard, who has given her verbal commitment to Stanford. She is also Russell Wilson's little sister. Recently she began blogging for ESPNW:
"I vividly recall going to Russell’s football games at Collegiate [High School]. There were always two really big games, against St. Christopher’s, a local private school, and Godwin. Godwin was a public school that Collegiate always played, and it was one of the biggest games because it was the only one under the lights.
Courtesy of Anna Wilson
Anna Wilson recalls the crazy atmosphere when Collegiate took on rival Godwin.
Both student sections would be packed, and Godwin had a sign up that said, 'The "Russell Show" Stops Here' (unfortunately for Godwin that was not the case)."

The Human Brain Is a Funny Thing
Weird dreams last night...
#1 -- I dreamt Seattle Storm players Camille Little & Tanisha Wright were working as cheerleaders for a mens basketball team in Turkey (rather than playing for a womens team in Turkey, which is what they're actually doing).
#2 -- I had a new iPhone (or similar smartphone) and I couldn't make it work, so I kept giving it to my niece to fix for me. And this was happening while I was visiting the Pacific Science Center with my family and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. (Clearly I have sports on the brain.)
#3 (and this is my favorite) -- I got a call from a local radio station asking me to come down and talk to them about Sleepy Hollow, because their scheduled guest had fallen through. And OBVIOUSLY I would be their next choice. But I only had an hour to get there, and I was at my parents house, so I wasn't sure I was going to make it to downtown Seattle in time, and the cell reception is horrible there so I was having a hard time hearing what the radio station was saying.

"We Need To Talk About Boundaries"
Last night was the season finale of Sleepy Hollow. Clearly they took season-finale lessons from Farscape and Supernatural, because they put all of the main characters in various states of peril: Captain Irving confessed to a murder he didn't commit (to protect his daughter), Jenny is bleeding and unconscious after the Headless Horseman made her car crash, Abbie is trapped in Purgatory, and Ichabod is buried alive.
And season two won't start until the fall....
In the meantime, please enjoy this awesome scene with some cute Abbie followed by some badass Abbie:

Quote of the Day: SB Nation
From 2014 NFC Championship: The best laid plans: Coaches want football to be like chess. The NFC Championship hid half the pieces and flipped the board over:
"Hours are spent in the week before a football game analyzing tape, working against the scout team, searching for any advantage that can be exploited. It is work devoted to Plan A, and Plan A is where your superior knowledge and preparation are supposed to light the way to a win.
Plan A was meaningless on offense in the first half on Sunday. The Seattle and San Francisco defenses were not just ready for Plan A, they were eager for it. Plan A never worked to the offense's advantage; the defense had position, or numbers, or mismatches in its favor. Plan A only yielded failure -- sputtering, retreating, painful-looking failure.
Plan B? Plan B has something going for it: it's not Plan A, and destroying Plan A is all the 49er and Seahawk defenses think about. Where one half of Plan A led to no meaningful running game from Marshawn Lynch and Frank Gore and one combined catch between team-leading receivers Anquan Boldin and Golden Tate, Plan B was full of improvised chaotic possibility. That was where Colin Kaepernick dropped back in the pocket, saw no open pass and then took off running, weaving through Seattle defenders like traffic cones. Plan B was also where Russell Wilson waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and only well after any route could possibly have met its designed end threw a deep ball to Doug Baldwin, setting up the only Seahawk points of the half."
[I could keep going, so I recommend reading the whole thing over at SB Nation. :) ]

Quote of the Day: Richard Sherman & Kam Chancellor
Quoted in the Grantland article Stop Bitching and Adapt: A Celebration of the Seahawks Defense:
“I wasn’t really a big hitter,” [Richard] Sherman adds. “But when you’re in a room with these guys who lay their helmet every time, you can’t be the odd man who don’t hit.”
In the next breath, [Kam] Chancellor: “My game from college, I’ve always been a guy that just wanna hit you. Hit, hit, hit and that’s it. Now, just watching these guys, the way they go after the ball, the way they play the ball, it makes me wanna go after the ball and get interceptions.”
Especially in the secondary, the best parts of every individual’s game become contagious, and the finished product is a group without any clear weaknesses.

Quote of the Day: The Mary Sue
From their review of this week's Sleepy Hollow episode, "The Vessel":
"Sleepyheads, I have a confession to make. In the weeks since Sleepy Hollow last brightened my life I’d begun to doubt. Was it really as delightfully cheesy as I remembered it? With a diverse cast of characters who work through issues and communicate with each other instead of being all angsty and secretive for the sake of artificially manufactured drama? And a solid balance of humor, action, character development, and a headless, automatic weapon-wielding harbinger of death? Was it all just a dream?
If it’s a dream I haven’t woken up yet, because last night’s episode was everything I’ve come to expect from my new favorite show, plus Ichabod Crane in skinny jeans."
Bonus quote!
"In the video Demon-Jenny tells Corbin that he’ll be killed by the Horseman of Death, and the demon itself will kill Abbie. It then jumps at Corbin but is stopped by a ring of salt. The good guys don’t make the 'salt stops demons!' connection until a few scenes later, because apparently there’s no Supernatural in this universe."

I don't have anyone with me, my husband's not here, so how do I say hello or not...' So I put my head down, and then, right before I got to them, I noticed that they all got in line and saluted. Because I did play the President of the Universe. So they saluted me, and then I -- without even thinking about it -- I just went [nods in acknowledgment], 'Gentlemen'."

How 'bout your quarterback? "I love him."
And the receivers? "I love them."
[and]
What do you remember from your famous 67-yard touchdown run against New Orleans three years ago? "It was loud."
Anything else? "It was really loud."

How do you not get sent to the line for more than four shots in a game where you jack up 70 tries? Hint: The other team knows you can't shoot so they don't have to foul you."

Quote of the Day: ESPN
From their Seahawks blog:
"By the way, talk about escaping the North Pole. Had the Seahawks lost to St. Louis last weekend, they would have gotten a trip to balmy Green Bay this weekend. The expected high temperature on Sunday is 0 and the predicted low is minus-18.
And I thought archaic Candlestick Park was cold last month. Have fun with that, 49ers."

Quote of the Day: Eminem
From his new song "The Monster":
I ain't here to save the f***ing children
But if one kid out of a hundred million
Who are going through a struggle feels it and relates that's great
It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back
In the draft, turn nothing into something still, can make that
Straw in the gold chump I will spend
Rumpelstiltskin in a hay stack
I ain't here to save the f***ing children
But if one kid out of a hundred million
Who are going through a struggle feels it and relates that's great
It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back
In the draft, turn nothing into something still, can make that
Straw in the gold chump I will spend
Rumpelstiltskin in a hay stack

Quote of the Day: Not Always Right
Observed at a pharmacy:
Customer: “...and then can you pick up [Name] from school? Or do you want me -- Hang on, I’m at the front of the line.” *to pharmacist* “Here’s my prescription, ID, insurance data. Need anything else?”
Pharmacist: “Just give me a minute to read through this.”
Customer: *on phone* “So, anyway, about the groceries. Why is taking --”
Pharmacist: “Excuse me?”
Customer: “Oh, hang on.” *to pharmacist* “Sorry, I know it’s rude to talk on the phone, but --”
Pharmacist: “No, no. Your prescription. It says ‘cheese, yogurt, chunky peanut butter.’”
(There is a pause.)
Customer: *on phone* “I think I know why it’s taking you so long at the grocery store.”

Quote of the Day: The Philadelphia Story
I watched The Philadelphia Story yesterday. It was quite good!
Margaret: We both might face the fact that neither of us have proved to be a very great success as a wife.
Tracy: We just picked the wrong first husbands, that's all.
