Happy Alaska Day.

I feel there should be a Happy 'Happy Day' Day.

That's because you're a happy hippie.

Am I going crazy, or did Moon Patrol "borrow" the bassline from Wild Cherry's Play That Funky Music?

Just had a co-worker say someone in our company "has a mind like a sieve", after complimenting them on their ability to retain knowledge :huh:

It would work if they were complementing this person on their ability to separate useful knowledge from the rest.  ;)

I was going to say that.  The trick to having a good memory is being able to forget what doesn't need to be retained.

In short:

1) A regional bodybuilding championship is held in northern Spain.
2) The anti-doping people show up, unannounced, and begin testing.
3) Nearly all of the competitors instantly drop out and the competition is cancelled  :lol:

It's actually a decent play, the Sex Olympics play a very minor part in the story, which is actually centered on a reality show where they end up killing the participants to spike up the ratings. Could perfectly be a Black Mirror episode.
