literally the best thing you'll see all day

[J. Benny @JBY204]

@DaniWex That was a new one for me, for sure.

[Sarah Anne 💍 @sarahanne1212]

Best thing I’ve ever seen on Facebook about the Cardinals miss u forever Sonny

[J. Benny @JBY204]

@katiejwoo That’s just mean. Also, I didn’t realize it was “porns.” And here everyone else has been saying it wrong all along. Who knew?

“He’s actually taking the fly balls with them, which you just don’t see in today’s game.”

@NashSevereWx That never stopped the folks at Disney World before.

[J. Benny @JBY204]

Bought gift cards at BJ’s to pay for our #DisneyWorld trip (good hack, BTW!). @samantha_1870 noticed they all had “To:” & “From:” lines on them. She decided they will all be addressed to her, from all of the people at work that make her need a vacation. #SMDH #ShitMyWifeSays #WDW

[J. Benny @JBY204]

All it took was one road trip and an episode of @newheightshow complete with ads for my wife, @saman_1870, to turn to me and say, “Momma got a raise, so we can spring for @Wondery Plus to get rid of these ads.”

No words.

Makes sense since #Paris doesn’t have any internationally-recognizable landmarks that can serve as a majestic backdrop all on its own.

[J. Benny @JBY204]

When I think of the #SummerOlympics #OpeningCeremony, I really want it to evoke the same vibe that I get from going to my local observatory to watch a Pink Floyd “Dark Side of the Moon” laser light show.

[J. Benny @JBY204]

My lovely wife has been playing a game on her phone for the last few minutes, only to look up and see the now-metal clad mysterious torchbearer presenting the Olympic flag in the #SummerOlympics #OpeningCeremony. Her response: “What kind of Star Wars shit is this?!?!”

[J. Benny @JBY204]

I am fully and completely disappointed that the flag bearer for Tonga in the #SummerOlympic #OpeningCeremony has his shirt on. That is literally the only thing I could tell you about Tonga.

[J. Benny @JBY204]

Perhaps a random animated #Minions short in the middle of the #SummerOlympics #OpeningCeremony would make a whole lot more sense if they mentioned that the animation studio that makes them is based in France before they randomly cut to it. Just tossing it out there for later.

[J. Benny @JBY204]

I’ll admit that every #OlympicGames since #TheHungerGames have definitely had similar iconography, but it feels like Paris is really leaning into the whole “Bread and Circus” vibe of it with this #OpeningCeremony by taking the parade through the city.

[J. Benny @JBY204]

I was just saying that what the #SummerOlympics #OpeningCeremony was missing was some Death Metal Marie Antoinette. Glad to know we’re on the same page there. 😂

[J. Benny @JBY204]

I feel like the mysterious torchbearer running all over the place during the #OpeningCeremony for the #SummerOlympics would make more sense if they were running with a load of bread and some candlesticks under their arm and chased by a fanatical cop. #Inmate24601

[J. Benny @JBY204]

Any time I see a Parisian athlete wearing a hat and competing in the #SummerOlympics over the next weeks, I am automatically going to assume there is a rat underneath it controlling them. #OlympicGames #Olympics2024Paris

@JohnDenton555 I think you might have meant Armstrong, sir.

[J. Benny @JBY204]

@katiejwoo Any reason to be concerned about Gray after this, combined with him asking to be pulled in his previous start?

[J. Benny @JBY204]

Here’s an idea for the @Cardinals, since they apparently don’t have money to get good pitching. Host a fundraiser where, for just $50, fans can kick John Mozeliak in the nuts. They could buy an amazing pitcher, even if they used the funds for his medical bills as well. #STLCards
