March 20, 20241 yr Maybe these are all good album names for a single band. One of my proudest moments in life occurred when I was ~10-12 years old and on a family vacation. The hotel we were staying at had live bands in the bar area and a little chalkboard sandwich board thing in front of the entrance to advertise each night's act. "Cat Sass" was the name of the band one night, and I found their chalk and added an apostrophe so that it then appeared to proclaim that "Cat's ass" would be playing that evening.

March 21, 20241 yr Caterpillars don't actually form what we think of as "cocoons" to turn into butterflies. Those are moths. IT WAS ALL A LIE!
March 21, 20241 yr What most people think of as cocoons are chrysalides - thus, what most people think of "cocoons" are actually caterpillars turning into butterflies.

March 22, 20241 yr Was just thinking about the Venus flytrap for some reason. Everyone thinks about the flytrap part, but I thought for a second, wait, where did the Venus part come from. Then I was like oh. oh. oooohhh.
March 22, 20241 yr Speaking of presidential offspring dying in battle, I'm touring Chickamauga battlefield this morning and just learned that Captain Samuel Jackson died in the battle. Though he was only a grandson of Andrew and also happened to be fighting on the wrong side. The historical record is spotty, but it's believed his last words were "Get these motherfucking Yankees off my motherfucking land."

When I worked at Barton Springs Pool as a lifeguard back in the day, there was this poster in the first aid room of a kid diving into shallow water. There was a girl yelling at him "Dave, don't dive, that's the shallow end!" Then a picture of Dave paralyzed in a wheel chair. The caption said "Dave will never dive again." Except that it was two lines centered so the caption actually said Dave will never dive again. Some clown with great penmanship took a sharpie that exactly matched the color of the caption and wrote in the word "muff" at the beginning of the second line. Matched the font perfectly. Unless you looked really really close you couldn't tell the word had been added.

Thanks for the handy diagram, Dr. Science. It all makes so much more sense now. I contend that erasing letters and adding more letters amounts to much more obvious tinkering than merely adding an apostrophe, but I don't expect you to understand the subtleties here, as you're apparently still struggling to understand basic rules of capitalization.

March 24, 20241 yr I am a lifelong Beatles freak/fan. I have heard the song "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" approximately 17257 times. I have seen the Ed Sullivan Show performance of that song approximately 9754 times. I recently learned that the lyrics are NOT And when I touch you I feel happy inside It's such a feelin' that my love I get high I get high I get high but, rather: And when I touch you I feel happy inside It's such a feelin' that my love I can't hide I can't hide I can't hide I am dumbstruck, flummoxed, hornswoggled etc...

You were probably high. On a side note, I spent hours and hours and hours as a child sitting in front of our big stereo console that was like a piece of furniture, listening to the red and blue Beatles greatest hits albums, reading and singing along with the lyrics in the liner notes. I could never find an exact match but the stereo console looked something like these:
