Week 1 of the NFL season is officially in the books, which means that my fantasy team (The Factory Second Rejects) is now officially 0-1!

A picture from Highlights For Children Magazine's long-running "Goofus and Gallant" feature, in which Goofus is illustrated looking upset and throwing his baseball helmet into the ground in anger. The caption reads "Goofus throws things when he's upset".

This is what it looks like so far. Yes, it is absolutely as inscrutable as it looks.

This is why Goofus always seems to have all the tea.

Two frames from the "Goofus and Gallant" feature in Highlights for Children magazine. In the left frame, Goofus is sitting in a booth at a restaurant and is turning his head to listen to the conversation in the adjacent booth. The caption reads "'Shhh, I'm trying to hear what they're saying,' says Goofus." In the right frame, Gallant is sitting on the stairs reading while others converse around him. The caption reads "Gallant minds his own business."

The English language never ceases to amaze. You're all undoubtedly familiar with the expression "to wit" or the word "unwitting", which are living remnants of an archaic preterite-present verb in English meaning "to know" or "to be aware of". Look at the conjugation of this beast!

A screenshot from Wiktionary showing the conjugation of the archaic verb "to wit", which is highly irregular and an example of a "preterite-present verb" (i.e., in Germanic languages, a verb that displays or historically displayed ablaut in the present tense, and thereby had present tense forms resembling the past or preterite tense of a strong verb): In the present, I wot; Thou wost or thou wottest; He/she wot; We/they wit. In the past tense, I wist; Thou wistest; He/she wist; They wist.

Need an idea for date night?

A tight crop of a 1940s-era ad for margarine (with the text at the top of the crop reading "Mixing bowl mess!" in which the illustration shows a woman with red fingernail polish squeezing a plastic bag filled with margarine and the text reading "2. Knead the bag". (For some background, it used to be illegal to produce margarine that was yellow to make it look like butter, so one of the strategies of the margarine vendors was to include a small pebble inside a squeezable bag of margarine that the buyer would break and then mix into the margarine to give it a yellow color. Go look it up!)

Now we're getting somewhere! I've hooked the Commodore 64 BASIC ROM to show the operations performed by the expression parser as it loads operands into the floating point accumulators and pushes/pops intermediates onto the stack before calling the operator functions. Now to do something with this!

There's a one-pound bag of potato chips beside him with several scattered on the floor, he's holding the game controller backwards and he's not even looking at the TV. Goofus is baked.
