Thanks for the translation of "Wiz wit" -- of course, being a native New Yorker and a Soccer fan, it was very helpful indeed.

Ugh. There's something about this new word "adulting" that just sets my teeth on edge.

@Shawnthedog's Mom I submitted a comment earlier (not published so far) saying that although Azi put the word in quotes, "adult" is not a verb and that I would be boycotting "Adulting 101". Which is a joke because I live in Haliburton, Ontario. Glad to see your comment. The language is getting uglier by the day.

@Shawnthedog's Mom, on the plus side, it reminds me of when Groucho on "You Bet Your Life," asked a contestant to tell us about her family (or was it the family she worked for?) and she replied they were "three children, one adult and one adulteress."

@Freddie How do you keep all these bits of knowledge in your head! I guess they fill in all the spaces between the tax codes!!

Maybe I'm still back a few years on this, but I see a world where Mark Wahlberg (Marky Mark) was convicted of attempted murder and served a few months, but took over a decade to express remorse, and gets offered over a million to do reshoots, and no one had any trouble with a convicted attempted murderer going on with his career. But is someone who gets accused of harassment in politics is somehow not supposed ANY job ANYWHERE in politics again? I sincerely don't know what's right or wrong on this. Is the difference that time is served, even if short?

"Happy birthday, Oprah"
So look under your seat. You get Alanis Morissette tickets, and you get Alanis Morissette tickets. Everybody gets Alanis Morissette tickets! (the producers add: depending on availability)
PS. There was a lady on TV commenting on the couch in the tree. A New Yorker who must have seen everything. Hope the clip comes back on so I can get the exact words but the reaction was like: "I guess it was a really windy day." I guess that's why these de Blasio scandals don't faze us; we're now used to a whole new level in DC from the GOP. (I think it started when disgraced "Love Gov" Mark Sanford was given another shot after his Appalachian Trail disappearance scandal, and then by three years later in the House, he became the gold standard for G.O.P. respectability!)

Freddie, you don't have to go that far, all the way to Mark Sanford. In New Jersey and New York, don't voters regularly re-elect shady characters who've pilfered, slugged people, and so on?
(Earlier, I wrote a comment suggesting that Mr. de Blasio, like Mr. Trump, always claims to hire "the best." Didn't pass muster?)

@B. - but the especially special thing about Mark Sanford was that
"Nothing Could Be Finah Than to Leave South Carolina" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAFeLTchV8c
was in my key, so I didn't have to beg any neighbors to sing it, and I got it out before any other parodies got out. Luckily, Randy Rainbow wasn't doing show tunes yet then. (If only Sanford had kept his cell phone on during his affair, and stayed reachable, he'd probably still be Governor, or maybe even higher.).
