Waffle House does that on their menus. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for everyone else.

Might as well discontinue the nickel and dime while they’re at it.


The nickel costs more to make than its value, so I'd be OK with that.

The dime costs less to make than its value. Whether it should or should not be continued is a subject for discussion.

What is a Jewish-Christian couple.


It could be either 1) one spouse is Christian and the other Jewish, or 2) a couple who are both ethnically Jewish, but in terms of religious beliefs are Christians (either Messianic Jews or another branch of Christianity).

Does "nuggets" refer to "moon rocks"?


Originally the ABA franchise was the Rockets (named for the owner's long-haul trucking company). When the team was going to be one of the four ABA teams absorbed by the NBA, since "Rockets" was already Houston's name, they changed it to Nuggets to remember an old NBL franchise (the NBL was one of the two leagues - the BAA being the other - which became today's NBA).

Colorado has a mining history: one of its public universities (in Golden) is Colorado School of Mines.
Louisiana and ethics should never be mentioned in the same sentence absent a negative phrase added.

Worst baggage claim - this is a surprise: Midland-Odessa.

The plane is literally on the other side of the wall from the claim area. Yet you can go into the airport, wait in line for 20 minutes to rent the car, and then you STILL wait for your luggage.

On the opposite end of the spectrum is Denver. You go a long way from the gate to baggage claim - but your bags are there waiting for you when you arrive.

Also... what's this about massages?


There are several (double digit number) reports of him going to legit massage therapists but asking them to do sexual favors instead, whereupon they complained. Enough that the Ravens decided to cut him.

(This coming from a team where you can murder someone and stay in good graces with the franchise.)

Ted Cruz is at the game. Warriors easily.

(Please keep him away from the AAC in round 2. The Pete DeBoer curse is bad enough; we don't need two curses.)
The record for most passing yards in a single game was set - before the formation of the AFL (which would ultimately merge with the NFL).
They were arguing about water quality (which is a known problem there).
I'm still a bit down from highs.
