I was at the grocery store yesterday, and the piped in music was playing “Gimme Some Lovin’”. But it wasn’t the Spencer Davis Group version, it was the one from The Blues Brothers. And without even thinking about it, I heard myself say out loud “That ain’t no Hank Williams song!” (Then I took a quick look around, and luckily there was nobody else in the aisle.) ---

Passing strangers in a store aisle, I heard them discuss the Lone Ranger’s nephew’s horse’s name. I could not, for large pots of money, have stopped myself; I tossed off a casual, “everybody knows that,” as I passed. Only to hear one say, “I didn’t,” in a slightly offended tone. Oops! In my defense, how can anyone know the scene up to “Victor,” but not know the rest? ---

In a Q&A session at a Men’s Retreat, someone asked about a Biblical event. The pastor said “Well, there are the historical documents…” I immediately whined _“Thooose pooor peeeople…”_ Widespread chuckling ensued. I was surprised that everyone got it. . > [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > At my curling club, when someone would throw a particularly fast takeout shot… Ahh, the Hack Weight Shot.

> [@digs](#): > > Ahh, the Hack Weight Shot. But then, I started curling in the days of the backswing, swinging the rock off the ice and winging it… Hack weight is a very light takeout, just fast enough to slide as far as the hack. Slightly faster is board weight, then control weight, normal, and peel. Anything above normal I sometimes refer to as castle-seige or freight-train weight. ---

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe…” And to be clear, I don’t mean I say it whimsically, knowingly, or with a wink. I mean I actually blurt it out, in the spirit of this thread. ---
