Books

A few years ago, my super-intelligent brother Joe sent me a list of books he had retitled.  Here are a few that won't get censored:

Harper Lee book about a drunken bird:

Tequila Mockingbird

Victor Hugo's book about a runaway thief who gets a pardon:

Less Miserable

Hemingway book about hockey:

Of Ice and Men

Dumas book about a member of royalty who gets rich inventing a lard substitute: 

 The Count of Monte Crisco

Tolstoy tome about a guy who fatally scratches himself:  

The Death of I've An Ill Itch.

Hemingway tale about a farmer who makes surev his boy gets up early:  

The Son Also Rises

Dickens book about a guy who can really spit:    

Great Expectorations

TV

My genius son set up a Fire TV on my bedroom wall so that when I start trying to sleep and can't, I can watch something until my mind goes numb.

I think I now have access to 2,567,908 TV channels. I can remember when we had to manipulate pieces of tin foil on rabbit ears antennas in order to see 2 channels.. or at least, their test patterns.  Have we really come a long way, baby?

WORDLE

The other day was a disaster for me.  I had five word iterations to look at and decide which one was the solution.  I picked wrong 4 times and now my score shows 3 errors in 100 tries.  Shame on me.

I still think that one should pick a beginning word at random and not think about whether it has good vowels or common consonants.  Its more fun that way. IMHO
