Also, looks like I goofed it - it’s hundreds AND thousands.

That Fairy Bread looks fun - I don’t recall that being popular here in the US (although it would be).

TIL that the British and Australians call these β€œhundreds of thousands.” They are wrong. They are called β€œjimmies” because I invented that term when I was 3.*

I think the score and effects are from β€œBattle Beyond the Stars” (which I would’ve picked instead of this). Same composer (Horner), although very Star Trek 2 sounding for sure.

DHS says immigration agents appear to have lied about shooting in Minnesota Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis was shot in the leg during the incident. Another Venezuelan man was also accused of attacking an immigration officer.

Another classic Friday afternoon drop.

β€œWe’ve been caught lying about shooting people - have a great weekend everybody!”

It’s kind of a bummer that it’s young and in shape people doing curling at the Olympics now. I miss the schlubby folks.
