While I hate to lose Jon Axel for even one game, today was a major milestone in the journey of Kishawn Pritchett. His effort is overshadowed by that of Caveman, but his long-armed defense, combined with his willingness to drive to the hoop, was encouraging, to say the least. That was a key block of Lewis's(?) three point shot in the corner, late in the game.

He just needs to make those easy layups after the beautiful drives. Same for Rusty. We need those points aginst A-10 opponents. Had their missed bunnies gone in, we win by 12.

I think the writing is on the wall here. And I actually think Rusty might be more effective as a super sub and get about the same minutes as he does as a starter.

I know Bob is loath to mess with his starting rotation. But it usually happens about once a season and the team seems to gel better afterwards.

When I was a kid I saw some hymn we sang was by Percy Dearmer, but I wasn't paying much attention and read it as Percy Dreamer.

It later occurred to me that could be a great name for a fictional character, but I never had occasion to use it. My not writing short stories or novels could help explain that. But if I do, I already have a character.

This was an odd sentence for me to read. So I had to reread it.

I spelled it right in the first place. Did autocorrect make your quotation make me say something I didn't Nintendo?

Until I reread what you quoted, I thought maybe the problem was the missing comma before "but."

I quoted it the way I initially read it, which is the way you initially read it, which was also the wrong way to read it.

This reminds of the famous words of Festus Haggen:

"Supposin' I was to go to work and learn how to... to read writin'. Well, how'd I know the feller that... who wrote the writin' was writin' the writin' right? See it could be that he wrote the writin' all wrong. Here I'd be just a readin' wrong writin', don't ya see? You probably been doing it your whole life, just a readin' wrong writin' And not even knowin' it."

The Festus philosophy is very similar to the Donald Trump philosophy, except that Trump harbors suspicions about facts, polls, elections, and intelligence agencies' findings being rigged. :wink:

Then there was Pierre Salinger who called a press conference to announce what really happened to Flight 200 (I think it was).

He said it was shot down by a missile. When asked how he knew, he said he read it on the internet.

Or at least that's the way I remember it, and by now I must have repeated it enough times to make it true even if it hadn't been earlier.
