When someone says, "Oh, man am I sleepy...(yawn) I ate so much Turkey...it always makes me sleepy...", first of all, don't be rude.
Save that for later when your Uncle Ed starts in with the conspiracy theories after he's had...however many he's gonna have. No.
Just simply smile and say, "Oh yeah? Wow. You must have eaten a lot! Like, over 8 lbs, right?"
(I said don't be rude. I didn't say don't be sarcastic)
They will probably think they did eat 8 pounds of turkey - which would be most of the bird - but they didn't. Actually I don't know how much turkey the average person eats on Thanksgiving. I know how much I eat. I know it's no where near 8 pounds! A single three-ounce serving (about the size of a deck of cards) of roasted turkey without the skin contains: Calories: 145. Protein: 25 grams. Fat: 4 grams. Turkey has slightly less tryptophan than chicken, and many nuts and seeds have more.
You would need to eat about 20 servings of turkey to consume as much tryptophan as one supplement, which would be enough to feel it...A LOT!
Other factors that can make you feel sleepy after eating a large meal include:
Digestion
Your body increases blood flow to your stomach to digest the large meal, which can lead to less blood to your brain.
Portion size
The large portion of turkey you eat at Thanksgiving dinner contains more tryptophan, carbs, and calories than you normally eat.
Other foods that are high in tryptophan include:
cheese, yogurt, eggs, fish, pork chops, pork tenderloin, skirt steak, ground pork, chuck steak, and roasted ham.
And they all sound delicious!
Eat, drink, be merry!
HAPPY BIRDDAY!

Hey “Wicked” fans …. You probably won’t like this. AMC Theaters are not going to let you sing along.
They're running a 30-second warning set to clips from the movie that says, quote, "No talking. No texting. No singing. No wailing. No flirting. And absolutely no name-calling. Enjoy the magic of movies."
No doubt other theaters will enforce a similar policy. But, just like with the Taylor Swift "Eras Tour" movie, it's probably going to be hard to keep fans quiet.
Theaters around the country WILL hold special screenings where audience participation is encouraged . . . but they don't start until Christmas Day.

We all have those days when we’re feeling down: life isn’t going our way and we want to feel better about ourselves. The solution? If you use Facebook, a study (Ohio State University) suggests looking up friends who are complaining about their problems. Researchers had participants look at fake profiles on a fake social network. Those profiles had successful and unsuccessful people. People who were put in a bad mood by the experiment spent more time reading profiles of unsuccessful people. Researchers explained why: If you need a self-esteem boost, you’re going to look at people worse off than you. You’re probably not going to be looking at the people who just got a great new job or just got married. Your problems may not seem as bad when you look at other people’s struggles.
We need your help choosing which of these new tunes we add to the Magic 95 playlist immediately, Gracie Abrams "That's So True" or Tate McRae "2 Hands". Listen to both below and then fill out the form to weigh in.
Gracie Abrams "That's So True"

Imagine this: a group of guys huddled together, brainstorming the ultimate insurance scam. They finally land on a killer idea—to don a bear suit and wreck their expensive cars for cash. Sounds like a plot twist straight out of a comedy, right? But in California, this bizarre scheme went from wild to wilder when it backfired spectacularly, landing them in some serious legal trouble.
Enter Glenn Ennis, the actor behind the menacing bear that mauled Leonardo DiCaprio in “The Revenant.” He weighed in on the situation, and his take is sheer gold. With a chuckle, Ennis pointed out that if these wannabe crooks had done a bit of research on bear behavior, they might not have looked so silly—with their costume moving on knees, no less. I mean, who doesn’t know that bears walk on all fours? It’s not exactly rocket science!
What really gets me is how the authorities caught onto this fractured fairy tale so quickly. Not only were investigators sharp enough to see through the ruse, but they even enlisted biologists to dissect the evidence video. Talk about bringing in the big guns. They’ve got experts weighing in on faux bear antics while these guys are sweating bullets, trying to explain how they thought they could get away with it.
In the end, four dudes are stuck with a hefty charge of attempting to defraud an insurance company for a ridiculous $140,000. Maybe they should have stuck to more traditional schemes—or, better yet, skipped the bear suit and bared their souls instead. Just goes to show that when it comes to crime, sometimes you can take the bear out of the costume, but you can’t take the foolishness out of the scam.

Oh, the times they are a-changin'! No one really says that anymore. But Bob Dylan was right. The only constant is change. People change. Music changes. Literature, science, philosophy - ALL CHANGE.
Language is not immune. Just like human beings, language is a dynamic thing. It changes and evolves over time according to our needs and desires. Of course, while this helps our words to stay up to date with our trends, it means we leave behind some great words and phrases because we find replacements for them that are more accurate... or just cooler.
That doesn't mean the replacements are as much fun. And what are we doing here if we're not trying to have fun? Am I right?
No one says "call me back" anymore because apparently, calling someone is rude now. We say "hit me up" instead, which is fine. I get it. It doesn't mean that we have to physically strike our friends (although we really want to sometimes) it's just how people say "call me back" nowadays. And you might have noticed that people say "like" a lot. Like they say it A LOT. It's like, the word of the day. Which has given us the following possibility in a phrase:
"Like, I don't like the way people like to say like, like all the time."
Does it make you want to smack someone or "hit them up"?
Alas, (another word that's fading and it's a shame) even "like" is being overtaken by a new phrase that seems to cover just about anything you want to say or express. I mean, it's being used by almost everybody now. I mean, you hear it everywhere. It's infected Movies, TV, Music, and everyday conversations with people. I mean, like, a lot of people. Have you guessed what that phrase is by now? I mean, it's right there. I just used it three times in the last paragraph.
I mean.
Now, people are explaining what they mean before they say it. I'm just as guilty (Do you have any idea how hard it was not to type: "I MEAN I'm just as guilty"? It's a bit maddening if you ask me. But I'm used to it now. It's kind of like a companion or cousin of "know what I mean?" See what I'm saying?
If you want people to hear what you have to say, you have to speak their language. And, as we've established, language evolves to suit those who use it.
Some of following phrases are being heard less and less nowadays. Either because we've found more concise phrases to replace them, or they're just more obscure. They still mean what they mean or what they used to mean. You may be using some of them yourself or know someone who uses them. But these old phrases are still good. I mean, some of them are.
Some of them can "go the way of the dodo" (look it up)
"You bet your sweet bippy" - WTF is a bippy?
"Diddly squat" - it's like a pronoun of a cussword.
"A nod is as good as a wink" - Really? WTF?!
"Keen as mustard" - It actually refers to KEEN'S brand mustard and it's spicyness. Try to ketchup...
"A stitch in time saves nine" - No. Just NO.
"All that and a bag of chips" - I actually still hear this from time to time...and I love chips.
"Tickle your fancy" - Yep. It means what it sounds like. Kinda suggestive? Dirty? Yep.
"Bob's your uncle" - very British way of saying "there you have it".
"The greatest thing since sliced bread" - You gotta understand, slicing bread was apparently revolutionary...in a good way.
"Don't have a cow!" - This one should come back! Bart Simpson tried and he has kept it on life support. It's so useful! It means Calm down! Shut up! Keep your shirt on! Don't freak! Easy, killer!
You get it

An "otherwordly" crash site of another spacecraft was photographed by a NASA helicopter.
Back in 2020, the Perseverance Rover was sent up to the Red Planet with the Mars Helicopter called Ingenuity strapped to the bottom of it.
The initial plan was for Ingenuity - otherwise known as Ginny - to make no more than five test flights within 30 days but in the end, the aircraft surpassed expectations when it completed 72 flights between April 2021 and January 2024.
It's more impressive when you consider the fact that the helicopter was just half a meter (1.6 feet) tall and weighed less than two kilograms (four pounds).
As the first aircraft to successfully complete a powered, controlled flight on another planet, the purpose of the flights was to explore parts of Mars that couldn't be reached by the Perseverance rover.
One of the notable aerial images was captured in 2022 when the helicopter took photos of debris on the dusty, cold, desert. "There's definitely a sci-fi element to it. It exudes otherworldly, doesn't it?" Ian Clark, a Perseverance parachute system engineer, told The New York Times.
But before you go and make assumptions that Martians or alien life were responsible for the wreckage, this wasn't the case but rather was the result of us humans.
So what was the debris?
Basically, it was landing equipment used to help Ingenuity and the Peersererance Rover land on the surface of Mars in 2021.
In the photos, you can see the upright backshell and the debris which is thought to have impacted the surface at about 78 mph (126 kph).
“The backshell’s protective coating appears to have remained intact during Mars atmospheric entry. Many of the 80 high-strength suspension lines connecting the backshell to the parachute are visible and also appear intact," the space agency said.
“Spread out and covered in dust, only about a third of the orange-and-white parachute - at 70.5 feet (21.5 meters) wide, it was the biggest ever deployed on Mars - can be seen, but the canopy shows no signs of damage from the supersonic airflow during inflation.”
So scienc-ey.

The parent company of Six Flags Frontier City could consider closing some of its 42 theme parks across the US, according to recent news reports.
The news comes months after a major merger worth $8 billion joined Six Flags and Cedar Fair Entertainment Co. under the new label, Six Flags Entertainment Corporation. The merger initially did not affect Oklahoma City's parks, Frontier City and Hurricane Harbor.
On Wednesday, Six Flags Entertainment Corporation released its quarterly earnings report that roughly detailed a long-range plan called "Project Accelerate." The plan promised a “comprehensive review of the portfolio to evaluate the potential divestiture of non-core assets to help reduce leverage.”
Would that review affect Hurricane Harbor or Frontier City? Here’s what we know:
Six Flags corporate director of communication Gary Rhodes told USAToday that "we have no plans to close parks." Earlier on Thursday, Theme Park Insider reported that the closure or sale of Six Flags amusement parks could be "on the table" based on language in the company's recent earnings report.
This article originally appeared on Oklahoman:
Danielle Bonadona and Jacob Bartlebaugh have taken an unconventional approach to decide their married last name by allowing their wedding guests to vote. Both individuals are very attached to their surnames and have been unable to choose, leading to the consideration of a hyphenated option: “Bonadona-Bartlebaugh.” Although the complex name has raised concerns about its pronunciation, Danielle noted that it could feel like a significant change to abandon her last name but she is open to including her fiancé’s name.
The couple’s idea has struck a chord online, inspiring strangers to create a viral song and a dance dedicated to their unique combined name. Social media users have flooded Danielle’s TikTok with positive comments, while one animal shelter in Georgia even named a cat after them. With the wedding scheduled for February, the couple is eagerly awaiting their guests’ votes, and as they say, here’s to the “Bonadona-Bartlebaughs” as they navigate their path into married life!
