Headline on the ESPN website:
Sources: Suns purchase likely official by Feb. 9
I read that as the Phoenix Suns buying an NBA official, to make sure more calls go their way during the team’s stretch run to the playoffs.

I read that one as “Satans and grapefruit”.
It’s the devil’s fruit, I tell ya!

Well, I thought that at last, the Secret Service had some meat to UFO stories…

Amazingly, she managed that one all by herself, though anyone who knew her for the past several decades when we continuously had between 2 and 3 cats would have found that hard to believe. She said that with as long as the last ones lasted, if she got another, she’d still be cleaning litter-boxes at 90, and she wasn’t going to have that.
Well, OK, she does still sort of have one, but it’s an outdoor-only cat, so no litter-boxes involved.

I thought this thread title “[Could have a silver lining I guess](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/covid-has-a-silver-lining-i-guess/979099)” was a bit vague, I opened it and read the first few posts and concluded “yeah, definitely too vague, I should report it for a title change” and right then as I was looking for the report button the thread title re-resolved to the correct one right before my eyes.

Seems kinda pricey. We’ve got plenty of bars around here where you can see all the fights you want, without paying a cover charge.

Not a thread title but:
Do any of you get the channel where they frequently show an infomercial called “Grow Your Hair Back”, and do you constantly read it in the TV listings as “Grow Your Back Hair” and then throw up in your mouth a little bit?

[Disinflation, the UMC, and Me. (and you?)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/disaffiliation-the-umc-and-me-and-you/979593/3)
I had [Marketplace](https://www.marketplace.org/) on the radio and they were talking about disinflation just before I read that. I was totally expecting a discussion about economics.

Ticketmaster has gotten so big they have a monopoly on British panel shows now, too.

I thought [this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/disaffiliation-the-umc-and-me-and-you/979593/) would be about disaffiliating oneself from the Upper Middle Class.
