Boost this post!

Sometimes Facebook offers you an opportunity to “Boost This Post.” One such opportunity on the right side of my page is to remind people to “Please be safe tonight trick or treating.”

So, I’ll do so. Please be safe tonight trick or treating. First, because I don’t think a lot of people are going to be out tonight trick-or-treating, so drivers will not be expecting to see you. Second, because tonight is not a traditional night for trick-or-treating, people might not be expecting to see you in your costumes, and might mistake you for home invaders or bank robbers or something.

How you win the World Series

I was just enlightened by a baseball commentator. Do you know why KC won the World Series? Because they set goals. They were determined to win their division, then their league, then the World Series.
Oh, and they had a never-quit attitude. Unlike the other teams, I guess.

“Do we really want to win the division?”
“I don’t know, man. Then we have to play more games. And that Gatorade bath is COLD.”

Not all trans fats are created equal

In light of the recent news about bacon, sausage, preserved and cured meat, and red meat …

For decades, it was EGGS ARE BAD AND THEY’RE GOING TO KILL YOU EAT ONE, MAYBE TWO A WEEK MAX.

And my name isn’t even Max.

Now, it’s * oh maybe we were not exactly 100% accurate on that and you can eat eggs in moderation *

Same with butter. BUTTER IS BAD AND IT’S GOING TO KILL YOU. EAT MARGARINE. Then it was DON’T EAT MARGARINE OH GOD NO THOSE TRANSFATS OH THE HUMANITY.

FAT IS BAD. EXCEPT, THEY’RE SUBBING SUGAR AND CORN SYRUP IN. OK MAYBE SOME FATS AREN’T AS BAD AS THE SUBSTITUTES.

Transfats are still on the bad list. At the moment. Except, as it turns out, not all transfats are equally risky…

Not All Trans Fats Are Equally Risky

The hour returns…

OK, so early next Sunday morning, we are bringing BACK an hour from the great beyond. So where did that hour COME from? Was it the hour that mysteriously disappeared last spring? Does anyone know where it’s been between then and now? Do we know what – or who – it’s bringing back with it?
