Aw, I like thinking about it that way. I think I'd like your teachers better than my nuns. Though I guess my teachers were pretty solid if I can still remember those details fifty years later.

Absolutely. If anyone complains about anything up in 2025, you can just say it's from the 2023 Christmas, and you'll be taking it down in early January, 2026.

You could have three different sets running simultaneously, I guess.

Herod found out the King of Kings was visited by the Magi, and ordered the murder of all male babies under a certain age. Joseph and Mary got tipped off and fled to Egypt for a spell to avoid the slaughter.

Just think of it as celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas from the one two years before.

Wait until you find out that lil' baby Jesus was two years and twelve days old when the Magi showed up. Kid was running around and talking like your typical toddler, most-probably. (Yes, I was raised Catholic, and the nuns taught me fairly well.)

I'd vote for a woman of color for maximum rage. Rashida Tlaib would cause his head to explode.

R.I.P irony.

As someone who grew up in Berlin, WI (quite a long distance from New Berlin, WI, weirdly enough), this is so Wisconsin-coded that I may have to go eat some cheese curds.

The lady at the end looking down in exaggerated horror with her head in her hands wins my MVP vote.

I saw a suggestion some years ago about trying setpieces instead of PKs. Free kicks from fairly close in, corners, etc. It would be closer to reality than the artificial PKs.

It never went anywhere, obviously.

Karaoke 🎤 sounds like something we Yanks would come up with. I'd watch.

Isn't it the Virtual Trophy? To save money changing the name every year?

Pigs are awesome and cuddly. My buddy runs a pig rescue in SoCal, and I've spent time there.

Anyone casting aspersions on those sweet babies can fist-fight me. (Not really, as I firmly believe in everyone can have whatever opinions they want to on pigs. 🥰)

I bet someone affiliated with one of the companies who make the super-expensive biologics wrote this. Get everyone off the generic as-needed inhalers and on the bi-weekly injectionable meds. Our after-insurance cost for one: $50/month. W/o ins: $3,000/month.

Shouldn't you have noted that this is a spoiler?

This was only published (checks notes) 422 years ago. 😁

Oh, and the reaction to a handshake on everyone else's face is just precious. I don't think I've ever seen anyone look the slightest bit jealous.

The genuine joy on each baker's face when Star Baker is announced is just something you can't script.

And everyone is sad when the baker leaving the tent gets announced. Or shocked, if they think they were the one leaving.

I love this show so darn much.

They took a perfectly fine working USB subsystem in Windows XP-SP2 (and later SP3), and rewrote it for Vista. With a team of inexperienced people who didn't know how to interface with hardware devices. Getting our Bluetooth stack to work with it was a nightmare.

If finally worked well again in 10.

Genesis - Genesis
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band - The Rising

And The Beatles, Bowie, and Fleetwood Mac, as others have already noted here.

She isn't from the Revolutionary War. Authorized by the Naval Act of 1794, launched in 1797.

Pedantic naval geek PK strikes again. 😎

One would hope that there are frequent inspections for any damage. I'm no structural engineer, but I'd think that would be required.

After the Camp Randall Crush in 1993, it would only be prudent.

When they did the 2003 renovations, structural analysis was done specifically for the stresses of Jump Around. It's been discussed during quite a few broadcasts in the years since then.

The 1902 Marshall Field collapse was at a neutral field in Chicago. Fans from both schools took trains there.

Camp Randall in Madison had a historic collapse in 1915. Minnesota was the visiting team that game.

Yeah, we were one of many voices telling them that.

Windows 7 came out pretty quickly, fixing quite a few broken aspects of Vista/Windows 6. The Vista USB subsystem was a mess compared to Win XP-SP2.

(Bluetooth connects over USB.)

There was also OS-9, a real-time operating system. They talked about that, as well.

I'm pretty sure that's accurate. We were Microsoft partners (integrated the Vista Bluetooth stack), and MS had told us they weren't going to have a 9.

But they also thought Vista was going to be their last O/S, with only patches being added. We know how that plan turned out.

Last year, it felt like Birmingham was the better side in both matches. Wrexham was outclassed in the away match, and just holding on for the draw in the home contest.

This match, Birmingham looked like they were holding on for dear life. It's 3-1 with just a couple of breaks. I'm feeling good.

Yup, that was 8. 8.1 was the quickly-rolled-out correction to 8. It would have been 9, but it had to be released very quickly after 8.

I'm a Wisconsin-born Mets and Rangers fan. I have been grudgingly on the Brew Crew bandwagon since both my squads collapsed in September. It's October baseball. I don't make the rules.
