I stopped keeping up with realignment around the time Maryland left the ACC, which for some reason was the thing that made the whole system click over to being arbitrary and wrong in my brain.

I don't really follow football but when I learned there's more than 10 teams in the Big 10, I think they lose the right to be called the Big 10. Numbers and words exist for a reason :argh:

It turns out every salad produced provides no caloric or nutritional contribution.

Rather than being sold as an ultimate dieting aid, this is seen as a major failing and the product is scrapped.

Not yet, but earlier this summer they announced their intention to join the conference in 2024. I know the Pac 12 has been poorly run, but the move is still stupid and bad, I hate it and I hope it doesn't happen.

I know you're probably right, but I'm going to go a different route and say that after a day or two they'll find bottomless salad bowls in dumpsters, and wonder why people are throwing them out, and it'll be because people were like "It only gave me salad and I got tired of it."

One of the neverending salad bowls was discarded upside down, so that the salad immediately falls out and is replaced, again and again. It has so far produced an estimated 1400 tons of chicken salad. The smell of the rotting lower strata of the ever-growing Chicken Salad Mountain is said to be indescribable.

Skippy (November 1, 1934)

Funky Winkerbean

As another reminder that keeping up with the Funkyverse continuity is a sucker's game, here's the TV Tropes layout of a sliding time line that, if anything, is accelerating the aging process.

TV Tropes posted:

Here's a rundown of how the characters' birth years have shifted over time:

In the original timeline, the characters were ca. 15 years old in 1972, which presupposes a birth year of roughly 1957. They reached their senior year in high school just before the first time skip in 1992, which would put their birth year around 1974�they were younger than the strip itself at that point.

The first time skip set their high school graduation year as 1988, implying that they were born in 1970.

The second time skip has them at roughly 46 years of age in 2010, giving them a birth date of about 1964.

In a 2020 strip, Funky ran a race in the "men's over sixty-five division", which would give him a birth year of 1955 or earlier.

Apart from that, this is the 50th anniversary year of Funky Winkerbean strip, so if recent months have seemed like an endless nostalgia wank, there's your most likely suspect.
