May Useless Observations
Hey everyone,
I’ve reached a point recently where there were so many different things that I could talk about, I struggled to narrow it down and put out content. I didn’t even write about the eclipse! I want to write about the Supreme Court’s docket, but I also want to write another newsletter about the WNBA, and of course, I have to talk about the hottest summer in rap beef history. I’ll continue to jot my thoughts down and return to putting out regular content, but I will start with an installment of Useless Observations to ease back into the swing of things. The previous one can be found here.
UO #1: Why is it that if you order a pizza with everything on it, it’s called a Supreme pizza but that same logic doesn’t apply to anything other than pizza? They’re not called Supreme bagels.
UO #2: Do secret shoppers still exist now that almost everything is sold online? If so, how do I sign up?
UO #3: I’ve been watching the NBA playoffs and I assume the NBA is the only sports league on Earth where the referee jerseys have corporate sponsors. Seeing Emirates across Scott Foster’s chest feels weird.
UO #4: The terms girth and girthy are used to describe large items, and in particular the circumference around said items. I don’t use either as much as I could, and I plan to increase my girth usage.
UO #5: Every fashion trend exists in cycles, so I think it’s time we all bring back popped collars.
UO #6: I keep having this dream of being invited to a super fancy wedding but I don’t know the bride or groom. They have wine, cheese, Hors d’oeuvres, caviar, and the whole nine yards. I’m with my wife and distant friends, but it’s easily a few hundred people at this event. The wedding never starts and we’re all anxiously waiting for the bridal procession to begin. Eventually, people get irritated and begin to leave and at some point, my wife leaves. I decide to leave but I’m unable to find her. It then morphs into like an action film where I have to rescue my wife from dangerous captors. It’s like Wedding Crashers meets The Cabin in the Woods meets Taken. Maybe it’s a nightmare.
