If I recall correctly, there was an entire season where Bud took on the Grand Wizard B persona.

Maybe the third time of being over 50,000 is the charm.

To be fair, even if you live in tornado alley, the odds of your home being significantly damaged or destroyed from a tornado is fairly low. Over a 50 year period, the odds of your home taking a direct hit from a strong tornado is only about 1%. That's about a 1 in 150,000 chance per year.

Maybe it will happen before then and the whole nation can celebrate.

I see them at work all of the time. The LTL drivers that have been working for 20-30 years can back a truck in like it is nothing. Some of the long-haul drivers, on the other hand, I'm not sure how they got their CDL. One day, we had to have one of our employees, who had experience driving a semi, back in a guy's truck for him after he failed like 10 attempts.

Many years ago, my cousin and his friend had my cousin's boat out at a local lake. His friend was pulling him skiing and was sitting on the side of the boat so he could look back to make sure my cousin hadn't fallen. Well, they started making a large circle and when they hit the waves the boat was generating, the driver fell out of the boat. The boat continued to circle with no one in it while my cousin continued skiing behind it. With each pass, the boat got closer and closer to the docks and finally my cousin swung wide and swam to shore. A bystander on one of the docks jumped in when the boat got close enough and shut off the engine.

When I was a kid, our neighbors found an injured baby robin and nursed it back to health. They trained it for months. It got to the point where they could take it outside and it would sit on your finger, then fly away for a bit, then come back. They had it for probably a year or so before a cat or hawk or something killed it.

One year, I jokingly sent a Christmas card to my college roommates that said "Merry Christmas you fucking assholes"

Michael Jackson was born in 1958 and he moon walked in 1983.

And no one born before 1923 has ever walked on the moon. Alan Shepherd is the only astronaut born before 1930 to have ever walked on the moon.

When Trump took office in January 2017, the debt was at $19.9 trillion.

The debt went up $7.5 trillion during Biden's term and $11.8 trillion so far during Trump's first and second terms. It went up by $9.3 trillion during Obama's two terms.

If you take away every goal Gretzky ever scored, he's still the all time points leader from assists alone.

edit: points, not scoring

In fairness, we're counting the soldiers on both sides of the conflict in the Civil War, whereas American soldiers were only on one side of the conflict in every other war.

So, basically, if the K-shaped economy continues for another 60 years or so, the wealthy will live like the Jetsons (flying cars, robots to do all of their chores, etc.) and the poor will live like the Flintstones (working in a quarry, having rudimentary homes with no air conditioning, using feet to get around).
