Since lying in a prone position is at the heart of Olympic bobsledding, the coaches insist that we demonstrate our skills in order to earn a spot on the team.

Here is my demonstration, and this was the view. I held this position for well over an hour, far surpassing the other candidates.

So far, tryouts for the Jamaican bobsled team have been successful. The β€œEat as Much Food as Will Fit in Your Face” contest is in the bag, and the β€œI’m Not Half as Think as You Drunk I Am” audition is about to begin.

P.S. Retirement is wonderful, thank you for asking.

Trump’s Border Czar Says He’ll β€œEducate” Pope Leo XIV on Catholic Teaching Homan argues Leo XIV is wrong on deportations β€” and says his Catholic grade school education in the 1960s qualifies him to explain the faith’s β€œalways pro–law enforcement” stance.

Well, mansplaining Catholicism to the Pope wasn’t on my bingo card, but here we are. Happy Feast of Saint Dunning-Kruger Day!

I needed to make more cowboy candy (sweet pickled jalapeΓ±os) and I made way too much brine.

And that is how I wound up with 2 qts of cowboy candy (we’re a homemade crunch wrap-intensive household), sweet hot pickled carrots, 2 jars of sweet hot pickled pearl onions (for martinis), Officer.
