When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore. When you swim in the sea and an eel bites your knee, that’s a moray.

I actually enjoy the NFL draft. It can be excruciating though in between picks.
Speaking of excruciating, how about play reviews in the NBA?! Mingya!
Useless information supposed to fire my imagination: In the NBA, teams that win the tip-off win roughly 56% of the time.
My wife filled out a form for me that asked for simple information; height, weight, gender, date-of-birth, eye color and hair color, for example. For my hair color she put ‘gray’ and I thought “damn, she’s right!”

A guy sits next to me on the train.
MAN: Loads of psychopaths around here.
ME: Really?
MAN: Loads mate.
ME: How do you know?
MAN: There’s signs, aren’t there?
ME: I guess???
MAN: I love them.

Before you go on… you’re humming “That’s Amore”, aren’t you?
– Dean Martin (That’s Amore)
The song was written for the 1953 film, The Caddy, starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. It’s performed when the characters return to Italy and reunite with their family. Contrary to popular misconception, the song is not about Italian partisans. The lyrics describe romantic love, using Italian imagery like pizza and pasta. The song helped rehabilitate Italy’s image as a romantic country after the fascist era. (TMI???)
