It was Bart who drew the Dud in the Mystery Date game, although Homer did make the connection between the Dud and Milhouse.

A comic panel of four frames featuring a scene from the episode "Summer of 4 Ft. 2" that aired in Season 7 of "The Simpsons." The first panel shows Homer and Marge looking at Bart with the caption reading, "Okay, Bart, your turn, your turn." The second panel shows a displeased Bart holding up a card featuring a nerd-like character. The third panel shows Homer holding up the card as he and Marge laugh as Marge states "You got the Dud!" The final frame shows Homer showing the card to Bart's friend Milhouse as Homer exclaims "Hey, he looks just like you, Poindexter."

This year marks my 17th season of greetings. Aside from a skipped year in 2017, I've been making my own Christmas cards since 2008. Every year, I try to find unique and often humorous ways to mark the holidays. This year's card has already been printed — I just to get them in the mail.

found ~$4 in change in an empty parking lot en route to supper. There was no one else around, but I thought that maybe someone really needed that money for food. With that in mind, I made a donation to the Utah Food Bank that would cover the amount of change and a little extra. www.utahfoodbank.org

My team (with 3 subs) scored 6 points for the 3rd week in a row, but we got there a different way — by stealing in 4 of the 6 ends. Facing 4 in the 6th, we were trying to figure out what to do, but then we realized we had the hammer. A draw to the button sealed the win.

Is this Utah's sore loser law? The key part, Utah 20A-9-501(2), states a candidate who has already declared this cycle can't run as an independent. HOWEVER, there's a separate write-in candidate section (20A-9-601) that is silent on this matter, AFAIK. le.utah.gov/xcode/Title2...
