And finally, the number-one selling doll this Christmas is "Tickle Me Elmo."

And the least popular selling doll?

You guessed it: Tickle Me Frank Stallone.

Angry over the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians' use of caricatures as logos, Native Americans showed up at the World Series tonight.

They chanted for hours to protest Indian stereotypes.

Though it didn't help their cause any when it... uh... started to rain.

Today’s the day we honor all those who didn’t come home. This is not 4th of July. It’s not a celebration - but rather a day which reminds us the true cost of freedom.

The land of the free because of the brave. Wishing everyone a safe & meaningful Memorial Day.

🇺🇸 God Bless America.

Had a change of heart. After diligent practice I think I've nailed it. Once you get the rhythm down it's actually a delightful word to enunciate.

2026: The Semiquincentennial.

Ran out of fingers trying to count the syllables. We should start a petition for something we can actually pronounce and also looks good on a lunchbox.

Any nominees?

I was there. I saw a drain.

It's all pipes.

What's the difference?

[The Moops @ItWasTheMoops]

I don't need much. I'll gladly take just a penny.

Please also forward this request to the entire world.

Thank you in advance.

In 1987, Illinois teenager Mike Hayes needed nearly $28,000 to attend the University of Illinois, but his family could not afford the cost.

Instead of abandoning his dream, he came up with an unusual idea. He decided to ask 2.8 million people to each send him just one penny.

Hayes wrote to Chicago Tribune columnist Bob Greene, who shared the story in his nationally syndicated newspaper column.

What started as a small idea quickly spread across the country. Soon, thousands of letters began arriving at his home from strangers who were moved by his determination.

Many people sent pennies exactly as requested, while others mailed dollar bills, checks, coins, and personal notes encouraging him to continue his education.

The response became so overwhelming that bags of mail and donations reportedly filled the local post office.

By the time the campaign ended, Hayes had raised enough money to pay for college and still had about $1,000 left over.

He later graduated debt free in 1991

Time well spent.

Currahee.

@SleeperRays Not gonna nitpick this team right now. Just appreciating the ride for as long as it lasts.

Not too shabby for a near-consensus last place team on a shoestring budget. The Rays Way is fun ball so far this season.

@Mike_kim714 Hi Michael. First time, long time. Are pro golfers allowed to wear fanny packs during competition? If so, why aren't more choosing to sport them? Many are missing the boat in my opinion. Hit me up if interested, I'll slide you a promo code in your DM.

[The Moops @ItWasTheMoops]

Anyone else sick of every single moment being recorded?

It was a much better time when you started a story with "You'll never believe what happened..." and they never did.

But you went to your grave knowing it did. Way better times. viral, schmiral.

@Super70sSports Whenever I’m faced with an extraordinary task, I just think of this guy and do it for that sweet bastard.

[The Moops @ItWasTheMoops]

@Super70sSports Could go with football studs like Brian Dawkins, Deshaun Watson, Trevor Lawrence, C.J. Spiller, Sammy Watkins or Hunter Renfrow. Basketball greats like Horace Grant, Larry Nance, or Tree Rollins.

But I’ll go boxing: Ivan Drago, the most perfectly trained athlete ever.

@Super70sSports Rankings are one of the things I truly suck at. I'm too indecisive. That's why my current playlist is at 943 tracks and I just hit shuffle every time. But Mike Patton doesn't get the credit he deserves... I'll go with this one:
