Monday becomes Friday...for me

Good Day and Happy Monday peeps.

I am so relieved to be off for a couple of nights. It's been a busy week for me.

On the plus side the hours go by super-fast on overnights and I pretty much just get on with it with little interference.

I do try to keep my sleep pattern in check on my days off as it is very hard to get back into. So I'll probably find something bizarre to do at 2 am to keep me awake.

Of course today was Mando Monday and we finally got to talk about Friday's episode of The Mandalorian. We are all in agreement that it sucks that there is only one episode left this season.

Jarreth asked listeners to come up with what they think will happen in the finale. Here's what they said.

Sinya Ani: "I think Bo Katan and her Mandalorians will team up with Din and Boba. They will storm the Moff's ship. He will get away with the dark saber but Grogu will be rescued."

Womgi: "My fan theory/speculation on S02E08: A very dramatic "surprise" boarding action on Moff Gideon's cruiser including lots of stormtroopers dying heroically, but also pathetically in front of the might of 2 fully functional Mandalorians. Also, the 2 ladies search for Grogu while wrecking the ship like it was a superhero movie. Gideon and our man Mando face-off dark saber, to beskar spear as they try to finalize their dramatic custody battle over Grogu. In the end, though, Grogu isn't there but has been already shipped off to Dr Pershing, who is probably already sucking the kid dry of "donated" blood. There's probably going to be a reveal for the third seasons big bad, maybe Lars Mikkelsen as GA Thrawn, or someone from the first order. Mando splits with Fett, probably saying something manly and mysterious like "It's my job" or "He's my kid" or something. The episode will end cliffhanger, though I expect that Mando will definitely get a new ship, Razorcrest II of some kind. Gideon somehow survives, again,"

Gerauk: "Mando will get Boba's ship somehow. I don't think it will be a dark end, though not without its darkness. I'm thinking he gets the kid and Gideon gets away."

Jarreth: "I think it will be a dark ending" I don't think the dark saber will be retrieved or that Grogu will be saved. I also think Boba Fett will sacrifice himself in redemption arc story and die, And I think Mando will replace Razor Crest with Slave I"

Bart seemed to have his own ideas.

Above is how he thought the call with Mando ended.

"I think Moff Gideon and Mando will sit down over a bucket of chicken and figure it out"

Also, how Grogu would fit into all of this 'Cause you know he would be right in the middle of it; Greasy little fingers and all."

That's a whole lotta chicken for a little guy lol.

All things PC, yet again. It is getting to the point where it is ridiculous.

The Cleveland Indians are reportedly going the way of the Washington Football Team and changing their team name, but like any well thought out process by these fools, they have no idea what it will be yet after they drop "Indians" from the name. I mean for goodness sake this name has been with them since 1915 and I really don't see how something that is related to history can all of a sudden not be politically correct.

The report also states that they'll probably keep their current name for 2021 season, and officially lose it for 2022, so I guess it's not THAT urgent and if not, then why bother? They'll probably end up with an award-winning name like "the Cleveland Baseball Team". Originality at its finest.

They did the same with the Land O'Lakes butter maiden which had been around since 1928. They already tweaked that one a few times and eventually only showed the top of the body so she wasn't seen in a kneeling, subservient position. I don't care what is on the packaging, people will just read into it whatever they want. It is ludicrous.

Wacky-But-True: Brawl Involving Salami and Cheese

Two shoppers in Germany were hospitalized following a brawl involving the use of salami and Parmesan cheese as weapons. The incident began as a tug-of-war over an empty cart in the parking lot of a supermarket. Punches were thrown and when one of two men went into the store, the other followed and grabbed salami. That’s when the other man used a wedge of sharp Parmesan cheese as a knife to jab at the man.

I guess you could say he was "cheesed off" 😂

How's this for a jobsworth. It actually made my blood boil when I heard this story.

A family have been kicked off a United Airlines jet and banned for life ...

all because their daughter refused to wear her mask ... AND SHE'S 2!

Ya, hear me?.....2 years old. You can barely get a 2 year old to do anything, let alone wear something that most adults are uncomfortable wearing, even though they know what it is for.

This is how it was reported in the paper

'Eliz Orban and her husband boarded the jet from Denver to Newark with their little girl.

The parents were masked up and tried hard to get their daughter to wear the mask, but she wasn't having it. Eliz's husband pretty much did everything he could ... to no avail.

That's when a flight attendant came up to them and announced they were being booted from the jet. Eliz's husband tried explaining he did his best, and he was more than willing to cover his daughter's face, but the flight attendant wouldn't budge. They had to go.

Now get this ... United wouldn't remove their luggage from the cargo hold, and that included their daughter's car seat. And, on top of that, Eliz says United has permanently banned them from flying.'

As you can see from the video below he kid was having none of it. UA's "NO tolerance policy" is bullshit and I sincerely hope the family get a formal apology and first-class tickets to their next destination.

Eddie Van Halen now has a final resting place, the beautiful Pacific Ocean off the coast

of Malibu.

The late rock star's body was cremated 22 days after he died and his ashes went to his son, Wolfgang Van Halen.

One of Eddie's final wishes was for the ashes to be strewn off the coast of his beloved

town and Wolfgang will almost certainly honour his dad's wishes.

Eddie died October 6, 2020, after a long battle with cancer, although his death cert revealed that a stroke was the immediate cause of death and that he also suffered from other ailments, including skin cancer on his head and neck.

And finally...

Charley Pride, one of country music’s first Black superstar whose rich baritone on such hits as “Kiss an Angel Good Morning” helped sell millions of records and made him the first Black member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, has died. He died on Saturday in Dallas of complications from Covid-19. He was 86.

“I’m so heartbroken that one of my dearest and oldest friends, Charley Pride, has passed away. It’s even worse to know that he passed away from COVID-19. What a horrible, horrible virus. Charley, we will always love you,” Dolly Parton tweeted.

Pride released dozens of albums and sold more than 25 million records during a career that began in the mid-1960s. Hits besides “Kiss an Angel Good Morning” in 1971 included

“Is Anybody Goin’ to San Antone,” “Burgers and Fries,” “Mountain of Love,” and

“Someone Loves You Honey.”

He had three Grammy Awards, more than 30 No. 1 hits between 1969 and 1984,

won the Country Music Association’s Top Male Vocalist and Entertainer of the Year awards in 1972 and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2000. He won the

Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award last month by the Country Music Association.

“He destroyed barriers and did things that no one had ever done,” said Darius Rucker on Twitter. “Heaven just got one of the finest people I know.”

Tanya Tucker tweeted “I’m just so thankful I got to sing a song with him.”

Billy Ray Cyrus called him a “gentleman,” “legend” and a “true trailblazer.”
