I most certainly did.

None of those are comedies, and I would put at least one comedy into the trio.

My vote would be Blazing Saddles.

I’ve told you once.

I completely understand, but I’m more tolerant of the close-able popup with a clear X than I am the others though.

There was an “X” in the upper right hand corner. I clicked it and the popup went away, and I could read the article.

I think Derrick Henry is part of the reason Jackson didn’t win. Allen didn’t have an elite back that ran for nearly 2,000 yards behind him like Lamar Jackson did, Allen had to do more himself, and that may have tipped the scales.

I’m dead serious about my pens. Some want expensive tennis shoes, some will get by with cheap ones. Some want the nicest, fanciest, sportiest cars, some just want basic transportation. Some want a mansion, others just need a roof over their heads. It’s all in what you put emphasis on. For me it’s pens, something I use all day every day during work. My wife will use whatever plastic pen with a broken clip that she finds on the floor, but I want something a little nicer that feels good in the hand.

And while you think $100 is a lot, it’s really not in the machined pen community. Fellhoelter pens can go for hundreds or even a thousand. The best thing that happened to me was for my wife to go with me to a pen show (yes, they have pen shows). Fountain pen prices can be insane, and she saw some for $20,000 and $25,000. It made my $100-$200 machined pens not look so bad! She’s still not happy about me spending money on pens, but after the pen show she knows that it could be SO much worse!

There’s a good sized market for metal machined pens that take standard refills like Parker-style or Pilot G2. If you use one once, you’ll either get it or think it’s stupid. If you get it, the rabbit hole can be deeeeeeeep.

When I pay $100 for a pen, I don’t lose it!

Seriously, I’ve never lost one in the years that I’ve carried them. And the writing experience is drastically different than writing with a cheap plastic one.

I’m a big fan of the Tactile Turn machined pens. They are made in titanium, copper, and bronze, and they have microgrooves for grip. They make bolt and click pens in standard and slim width. They take either Pilot G2 refills, Parker-style refills, or (in the case of the mini) Pilot G2 mini refills.

I'm rooting for the ground to open and swallow both teams whole.

Another classic battle, but I'm disappointed that it's the Chiefs again.
