My old roommate sucked. His favorite band was a Canadian thrash metal band called 3 Inches of Blood. I assumed they also sucked. Many years later I actually listened to them and they’re amazing. In the meantime they had broken up.

Happy ending, though. They did a reunion show last year and I was able to go see it!

I saw them live one time and was blown away. Then I listened to their albums and was kinda underwhelmed.

I went over to my old boss’s house one time and saw a car under a cover. He explained that it was a custom ultralight racer built off the chassis to a 1967 Lotus Europa. I was blown away and said that I hadn’t realized he was a car guy.

He laughed and said “I’m not. Don’t go on ebay drunk.”

The squeaky wheel gets the grease, but the nail that sticks up gets hammered down.

Modern MLB pitchers can regularly throw a baseball 100+ mph. Currently, the flick of the wrist during a curveball throw is the fastest human motion recorded.
