Men and Women, Still So Different, and Hold My Sneakers

The Schloss-Blog is asking...

Should I buy a pair of SUAV sneakers or waterproof Vessi loafers? Maybe waterproof Looms? They're good for golf. We like Dbeck sneaker/loafers too.

Hmm... feel free to chime in.

There seems to a plethora of custom, vintage shoes and sneakers on the market these days though. Where the heck did all these off-brands come from?

Anyhow, saw something in Morning Brew about a chain that makes chicken sandwiches redesigning and re-equipping its kitchens to enable it to hasten service.

Except, in a true grammar gaffe, Morning Brew editors called it enabling a "faster chicken sandwich."

Don't know about you, but I can't wait to see if I can catch up to a "faster chicken sandwich." Does this mean we'll start to see customers chasing their chicken sandwiches across parking lots nationwide?

The "fastest chicken sandwich" chase. Can't wait.

Speaking of shopping, the Schloss-Blog is looking for healthcare insurance, especially seeing as Mrs. Schloss-Blog is retiring at the end of this year (congrats, Joss).

Do I go with making Medicare my prime and adding a Part C supplement for vision, dental, etc., and then a separate Part D add-on for prescriptions? Or do I go the Medicare Advantage route?

Feel free to chime in, before Republicans cut or eliminate Medicare.

Speaking of Republicans, did you watch the House committee hearing in which the GOP representatives tried to fry Merrick Garland?

Every question seemed to begin with, "What took so long to investigate and prosecute Hunter Biden?" and, "Why hasn't Joe Biden been indicted yet?"

I'd feel more comfortable if GOP representatives asked about how to help mitigate against inflation, or how to improve relations with China, or how to help Ukraine win the war? Instead, you hear GOP representatives running around the country welcoming infrastructure projects in their districts for which they voted against the funding.

Anyway, the Schloss-Blog, as it does every so often, is looking at the differences between men and women. The fairer sex is winning.

For instance...

...men like to use emojis.

Women know what they stand for.

***

Men see yellow lights and speed up.

Women see yellow lights and slow down.

On the road and in life.

***

Women stop at ... stop signs. D'oh.

Men roll through.

***

Men play pickleball.

Women win at pickleball.

***

Men see what Lauren Boebert did at a performance of "Beetlejuice The Musical,  and are disgusted.

Women see what Lauren /Boebert did at a performance of "Beetlejuice The Musical" and respond by making a contribution to her Democratic opponent, Adam Frisch.

***

And as evidence that we've been harping about this for so long, from a previous Schloss-Blog post on "Men and Women..."

...Men wear jeans.

Women wear jeans that fit.

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.

More next Sunday night on my Radio Free Phoenix rock 'n' roll show. I'm off this week. John Kirk DeRitis, thee Bohemian NightCat, sat in for me on Sunday the 24th. Thanks, John.
