SOS has finally retired the “Cyberdrive Illinois” moniker for their website. For the first time since probably about 2000 or earlier (since cyberdrive seems so Y2Kish).
However, they’ll have to update their latest appointment system promo ad as it still has CyberdriveIllinois on it. Which we discussed on here last Wednesday:
The weather’s been rough
I think I’ve had enough
The farm is taking its toll
Each day I feel it’s a little unreal
It feels like it’s time to roll
When I got hurt in the field
I refused to yield
Keeping the beat of my day
But what I need is fun, think I’ll go on the run
I’ll see you when I feel ok
If you see my leg, it’s my calling card
It means I was out your way
Don’t worry, it’s fine, happens all the time
I’ll see you when I’m feeling ok
Now my leg and me, you’d think we’d be wed
It seems to find its own adventure so it’s been said
When we finally unite it’s like an old friend
Then I know I’m ok
If you see my leg, it’s my calling card
It means I was out your way
Don’t worry, it’s fine, happens all the time
I’ll see you when I’m feeling ok

==There it is. I paid 30,000 units for it, now I’m heading to Knowhere to sell my orb for 4 billion units to The Broker. Hopefully it all works out.==
Excellent Guardians of the Galaxy reference to start out the morning. Kudos.
There are times when you know you probably shouldn’t laugh so hard at a “borderline” joke? 47th, good work, and thank goodness we aren’t fully gagged and bound by the fun police.

Unless I missed it in yesterday’s comments, I finish reading the Rodman movie story and it’s followed by one about some fans fighting in the stands at Sunday’s Sox blowout of the Cubs:
The first fight was iconic because a Cubs fan yelled something racist and people in the section literally bullied him until he left LOL I love it here!!
oh wow, the white guy whose shirt game off and was shirtless for the rest of the fighting yelled something racist,??? probably at the guy in the black shorts and white shirt…who is a Black man…and who climbed up the bleachers towards racist Cub guy, did not touch him, but was attacked by the racist guy. the fight went on for a long time.

Who knows, maybe at that site Lincoln had to stop the horse and do a “live in nature” stop before continuing.
