But really, when I think about it...It'd just be a bunch of us lightin' up and nodding approval between us, I don't talk that much when I'm stoned.

It's going to be a Rainy Day here in St George area...bummer

Probably make my way to the Fitness gym and play some basketball for a change.

At 5'5, you never know when pick-up games need their Center.

I just deleted a Judd Legum piece on GOP malfeasance and the Great Replacement Theory promotion now rampant in the GOP.

I could have shared it here as I often do, but, what's the point?

We've chronicled their moral demise and law & order buffoonery for so long, the weight of evidence is NOT the problem.

We made up the one about the astronauts.

Apple Vision Pro doesn’t do VR porn—and users are already trying to hack it

Wilson’s new Airless basketball costs $2,500, but it will sell out in seconds

‘Hurkle-Durkling’ is the newest TikTok trend. Should we all be doing it?

Three Headlines and a Lie

Three of these headlines are real and one is faker than a Real Housewives “Galentine’s Day” party.

Can you spot the odd one out?

But last week, Guinness Book of World Records disqualified it because the matchsticks he used weren’t commercially available. Guinness acknowledged its decision may have been “heavy-handed” and will review the judgment.

Still, Plaud threw shade at London-based Guinness, writing, “Clearly, the English are really different.......” Which is exactly what we thought when they first created a book of people with long fingernails.

And Morning Brew's opening...

Good morning. We’ve all been there—you work tirelessly on a project only to have it spiked at the last minute by your boss.

But the plight of Richard Plaud might be on another level. The Frenchman spent eight years creating a 23.6-foot model Eiffel Tower out of 700,000+ matchsticks to set the record for tallest matchstick sculpture.

HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR DAYS?

A Frenchman spent eight long years meticulously building a 23-foot-tall Eiffel Tower using 700,000 matchsticks, only to be outright rejected by the Guinness World Records due to an unconventional reason.

PAKISTAN ELECTION

Analysts expect the military-backed Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz party will receive the most votes, paving the way for three-time former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to be elected to a fourth term. Sharif returned to Pakistan in October after spending four years abroad waiting for corruption charges against him to be dropped. No prime minister has held office for the entirety of a five-year term in the country's 76-year history.

Bun Man replied, "Dude, Stan's going to make them Cyber Crusaders..."

Mr. Purple countered "I beg to differ, dude, they're a boy band, they will always be just a boy band...

Giving them a cartoon is like giving all these freakin' little kids a sports trophy for participating..."

Mr. Purple had a point...

ON this date in 2000 - It was announced that Stan "the Man" Lee would create a comic book of the Backstreet Boys.

At the time, Bun Man and Mr. Purple were working as cartoonists in Stan's studio.

Mr. Purple, upon hearing the news, blurted out "We do Superheroes, we don't do this boy band shit..."

ON this date in 1960 - The House of Representatives Special Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight opened hearings on disc jockey "payola."

DE rep Bun Man, ably assisted by his Chief of Staff Mr. Purple grabbed the House floor and spoke for 20 hours on the inherent dangers of payola and bribery.

His closing statement won the day "If we let DJs and common Americans get into this bribery business and see what a good gig it is, Congress might lose our competitive edge in America."

ON this date in 1978 - The U.S. Senate deliberations were broadcast on radio for the first time.

The subject was the Panama Canal treaties.

US Senators Bun Man and Mr. Purple had been vehemently against this broadcasting endeavor.

They were assuaged by the TV producer when he told the Boyz, "Don't worry, this will be like watching Bob Ross paint those little trees in his mountain landscapes. The audience will be asleep before the first speech is fully formed."

And so, it came to pass...

Morning Peeps,

Okay, minor potential major issue this AM...

I took two Sinus pills this AM by mistake.

Gettin' worried

A Sinus is a terrible thing to waste.
