Today's Tids Issue 5.405
Snacks for sacks:
Technology is on a spree
Trying to be more to we.
But all I hope for, you see,
Is just being happy as me.
Great. Just great. Meta (Facebook) in cooperation with RayBan has just announced new glasses that allow the wearer to take pics nd record conversations anywhere surreptitiously. Just what a paranoid person like me needs. So, if you see some beady eyed person looking at you oddly through large frame glasses, run as fast as you can or you may be on your way to becoming a Tik Tok personality. Wasn’t life wonderful when we talked to neighbors while hanging clothes on clotheslines.
A reindeer maxim: “Prance like nobody is watching.”
The Question:
Apple came Alive in the minds of many with their daring “1984" ad introducing the Mac computer during the Superbowl. Who played in the Superbowl?
The Headlines:
--Markets Hedging before Opening; $5 Trillion in Options Set to Expire Today.
--US and Israel Talking About More Targeted Strikes in Gaza Going Forward,
--Prince Harry Snags 140.6K pounds in Phone Hacking Suit Against Mirror Group Newspapers
--Guiliani Defamation Suit Opens; Ex Mayor Could Get Clobbered.
Christmas makes people feel Santa-mental.
See, I told you yesterday that on the Street, out of euphoria comes the quest for despair. Now as early as this morning wonks are saying we may be getting ahead of ourselves about rosy future. In reality, it is all about: How can you buy and sell stocks for big gains if the market doesn't go down sufficiently.
Just so you’ll have something to think about over the weekend other than last-minute shopping, getting recipes ready for the following week, cleaning your house, figuring out the best route over the river and through the woods. You may wonder where The Tids will take you Monday in 1984. It certainly wasn't what Aldous Huxley said, unless you are remembering the Introduction of the McIntosh Computer commercial during the Superbowl.
Huxley was probably thinking of 2024 and these new Meta glasses.
It’s Ok for conservatives to hug a Christmas tree.
Locally, everybody is hoping that Taylor Swift will be up here Sunday for eth KC Pats game so NE Fans will have something to watch other than the Patriots. In case you didn’t know, Y Taylor a has a nice big house in the state down in Watch Hill on the ocean. Maybe she could have a pregame party. Mybe the Chiefs’ players will get lost going from Watch Hill through clogged Providence to Foxboro.
I have to say that the scammers are working overtime right now. Every day ten things I have never heard of will expire for me unless I click on that link. Be paranoid this season. The creeps are out to get you.
Who doesn’t eat on Christmas? The Turkey, because it is stuffed.
The Answer:
In Superbowl 27, the Oakland Raiders beat defending Champs the Washington Redskins 38-9. That was the last time an AFC team would win the SB until Superbowl 32. Barry Manilow sang the National Anthem. Top players on the Raiders were Howie long Marcus Allen, Cliff Branch, Ray Guy, Mike Haynes and Ted “The Stork” Hendricks. Tom Flores was the coach. For Joe Gibbs Skins it was Darrell Green, Russ Grimm, John Riggens and Art Monk who did the work. Bronco Nagurski tossed the coin and the half time show saluted the “Silver Screen”. The broadcast announcers were Pat Summerall and John Madden (TV) and Joe Buck and Hank Stram (Radio).
Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
Here’s a pretty happy 1984 hit song to get you smiling into the weekend! Have a little fun:
