The Bodley Head Puns

Because it is capsized.

That left scientists scratching their heads.

To be honest, I just winged it.

It was a lovely service.

It's Ultron.

Maybe he's in cahoots with Mephisto or someone else, but I know he's involved somehow. For the following reasons ...

• His name has been mentioned more than once, a tactic writers often use to get viewers thinking, "Oh yeah, I remember that guy," when that guy is about to return.

• Banner has said that Vision is an amalgamation of various personalities: Bruce, Tony, Jarvis, and Ultron. SWORD knows this, which is one reason why they were studying his corpse in a secret lab: they were trying to extract the "sentient weapon" that is Ultron, under the mistaken belief that they could control him somehow.

• The "shell" of Wanda's hex seems comprised at least partly of pixels, which suggests that it's as much a technological construct as a magical one. And Ultron's specialty is the remote mastery of electronic machinery.

• Ultron has access to all the world's electronic recordings, allowing him to easily reconstruct a faithful simulation of all those TV shows.

• He's Wanda's archnemesis, having killed Pietro, but has been absent for so long that we don't really think of him as an active threat. Marvel loves surprises, and this would be a great one that would also make sense to the story.

• We never learned exactly what Vision did to him in the woods of Sokovia at the end of AoU. Perhaps the secret has been kept all these years so as not to spoil the surprise of his return.

I know, I'm probably wrong. But it would be pretty cool if I wasn't.

I can't seem to remember where I left my hat.

So as I sat this morning in front of my computer, sipping on my morning tea, I stumbled upon the news headlines for the day in the NFL. Of course, many new head coaching hires have taken place since the end of the regular season. I found this to be quite the intriguing part of the NFL experience. As a player who survived 3 head coaches in my time with the Jags, it was always a bit of an awkward time, mainly because with a new head coach came new expectations. Both from the front office, as well as from within. You had to mentally 'clear the slate' so to speak, as you now had to prepare for the re-validation of one's self to a new head honcho in town. From Jack Del Rio, to Mel Tucker(interim) to Mike Mularkey, and finally Gus Bradley. I found myself resetting my head to act as if I was a rookie once again, and needed to bring my A game. Show my new coach that he had a player he could depend on. A player who was not stuck in the old ways of the predecessor whom had been shown the door. While at the same time exhibiting the confidence of a seasoned vet, who wasn't about to piss down his leg just because there was a new vibe in the locker room to contend with. This was often a balancing act, and a lot of times, if boiled down to the first introduction. THAT was the time to set the tempo with the new guy. A firm handshake, a stern and respectful stare. "A pleasure to meet you Coach _________."

Of Course, you knew they saw your film. And a lot of times, that was what you let do the talking while hands were clasped in that initial handshake. "You know who I am in between the lines" was always the first thought, "Now you have met the person behind the film, lets go to work." You hope that the two introductions(game film and face to face) were enough to get things off on the right foot. We are both professionals. I understand you want to plant your flag, and I totally get it! Just know that we need you to plant it in the name of future success, not in the name of sounding the war drums. That was the mistake Mike Mularkey made with us in 2011- a mistake that owner Shad Khan recognized quickly over 17 weeks of utter misery. A mistake that saw a 4 year deal for Mularkey turn into a 1 season honeymoon gone bad; thus he was promptly shown the exit. And take your GM Gene Smith with you. Much to the relief of everyone in the building.

Mularkey, for whatever his intentions were, took the old school approach to breaking in a new team. And it DID NOT wor

I’m ok it was a soft drink

So for example, this morning i was thinking to myself, and the last word of the sentence that i was thinking in my head was “divorcée”. Then in the other room i heard my mom say “divorcée” right when i was thinking of that word! This happens very often, like i’ll be thinking of a word in my head and right as i say the word in my head, I’ll notice that its on a billboard as i drive past! It happens very often. Another thing i’ve noticed is i’ll just be focused on an object, like i’ll pretty much zone out staring at it. For example let’s say a set of car keys is what i’m focused on. Then like an hour later, my mom goes, “Has anyone seen my car keys?” And then i’ll know exactly where they are cause i remember being fixated on them an hour earlier! I hope this makes sense, it was hard putting it into words but thanks for reading!

Well now that I’m older I don’t fall for that rubbish anymore, thank God.

But he was alright because it was a soft drink
