Another good win

The Bruins beat the Canadiens 5-1 last night, moving them into second place in the wild card, 5 points behind the first place Penguins.

Remember when I was whining about them maybe not making the playoffs? well, I'd like to say with authority that I was wrong but I'm afraid can't. At least not until tonight's game is over.

The reason I'm waiting for tonight's game is because Rask is slated to make his season debut tonight and if the Bruins win, I'll know that they are a playoff team.

Hopefully Rask has healed up from his off-season surgery and he's back in game shape. Up until his hip problems last season, he was arguably the best goalie in the NHL and having him back in the net should be a huge lift for the Bruins.

Despite my getting jabbed repeatedly, the state cannot find me in their vaccination records database.

I called the number shown on the rejection email pictured above and a very nice Jamaican woman answered. I know she was from Jamaica because I asked her which part of the Caribbean she was from and she told me. I love the Caribbean accents. When someone from the islands talks to me, it sounds like they are singing.

So anyways, she basically informed me that she probably can't be of much help because the 211 number was just an information line and she can't access any personal information about me. She suggested I reach out to the vaccine people by sending an email to myvaxrecords@mass.gov

So I did.

Now we wait for the bureaucracy to kick into gear and the wheels of progress to turn. In my mind, Powerhouse from Looney Tunes is playing in the background as all the state minions rush around collecting my vaccination info and ready it for me to peruse.

I ran across this amusing ad the other day:

Let me interpret that for you...

"Top SMS Marketing Platforms"
is just a fancy way of saying
"Some of the most prolific text message spammers on the internet"

"Optimize your SMS flows"
is also a fancy way of saying
"Send huge amounts of text message spam in the most efficient way possible"

"create personalized mobile experiences"
really means
"We use personal and private data that we've collected to fool people into thinking the text spam is a message they should look at

"that convert"
is some serious marketing bullshit that means
"before you know it, those suckers will be converting their money into your money"

When I see ads like that, I am reminded that the two things the internet does very, very well are 1) offer up a wide selection of porn and 2) make it very easy for scammers to steal your money.

As I mentioned previously, there is more hockey tonight. The Bruins are taking on the Flyers at 7:00. I made it through two and a half periods last night before going up to bed. I'm going to try and make it through at least that much tonight.

While I attempt that, you can look at these:

• Killer Zionist Dolphins would be a pretty racist name for a 1980's German techno band.



• No news on the health status of Curly or Larry.



• Inflation is at an all-time high, covid is killing millions of people and Russia is about to start world war 3 in Europe but thankfully our government is focused on the things that really matter...



• Good. The federal government should not be allowed to require that businesses police their employee's medical status.



• Here's your Naked Guy In The News story.



• This is actually a pretty serious charge. It is addressed in the same statute that covers treason, rebellion and insurrection.
