Yes, the stuff on OJ is quite something.

I glanced very quickly at a return address as I opened an email, and couldn't understand why I'd been offered a summer job at a place I last applied to a year ago, for a permanent job.
When I had time to look more closely, it was the final bit of paperwork for the job I've already accepted, but both places use the same HR software, so their auto-emails look similar.

re OJ: The Simpsons picked up on the car chase with Bart "running" away from something on a riding lawn mower. It was hilarious!

Waiting at a red light on my bike, I was very confused when the BMW next to me suddenly jumped into action and shot through the junction--had I missed something?
Nope, he just didn't want to be behind a cyclist. So when I got to the next junction, which was a red light, I smiled and waved.
He did not jump that red.

My brother-in-law complaining about how windy and hilly our roads are. They live on the west coast, and don’t have a dividing range like we do.

We're watching Slow Horses, which I highly recommend. There's a gun fight on, and even I can tell that they've fired a LOT of bullets without reloading.
But also, I'm watching with someone who knows about the weapons being used, and their commentary on what each thing can or cannot actually do is all the good snark.

The TV series (on Apple) is very well-written, funny, cutting. But hyper violent at times. The producers must have shares in the fake blood business.

Reading an article in the LA Times about the train I'm going to take this summer, which says about how it's always late: "Now is an important time to emphasize that the key to enjoying any Amtrak trip is cultivating a strong mental detachment from timeliness"

I had to listen very hard a while back, to work out the proper lyric to 'Chinese lovers'. Jealous. Jealous lovers.

along w the crossing guard 2 women were wearing matching skirts w the face of a guy that slightly looked like paul mccartney, liam gallagher or generic eyelinered gothboy. the face fell on their ass & the front face was infront of the crotch region.
let the spring fashion promenade commence

We just finished Season 3 of Slow Horses, with Gary Oldman. Today, the Jackson Lamb character walked into the bookstore!!
Ok, not him. One of our semi-regulars, who rarely bathes or launders, smells bad, and has a bad habit of tucking books into his oversized pockets. But it was still funny.

Devil: This is the lake of lava you will be spending eternity in.
Me: Actually, since we're underground, it would be magma, and to be grammatically correct, this is the lake of lava in which I will be spending eternity.
Devil: You do understand this is why you're here, right?

Not a laugh, but the feeling of satisfaction when, over 25 years ago, my Qantas flight crew walked past at Shanghai - a female Captain and First Officer, a male Second Officer - not all that many years after Deborah Lawrie had to fight in court for her left hand seat with Ansett.
