More thought on this (5 bands I can't stand)...
I don't think of New Pornographers enough to care too much. Replace them with Jane's Addiction.
Also, Muddle of Pudd isn't important enough for a spot. Put in The Ramones.

I would suddenly not be mocking LMP2 and be winning regularly in LMP2.
I have often said that you will know I have won powerball because I will be the proud owner of a Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends pinball machine and I will absolutely not shut up about it
If I was a billionaire I would not take trips to Crime Island. I would own The Simpsons arcade machine

When the new cafeteria worker who regularly messes up your order and forgot you paid for two pork chops, but the pork chops were so disappointing you didn't even bother to go back and ask for your second pork chop kind of day.

Just saw a recipe for a Hatch chile stew that called for 1/8 of an onion and what. It was a ratio for a half pound of meat plus potatoes but that's still way too low.

Technically a day off with the weather, but I needed to do some prep work for this week. Just finishing up, and L says she has a work meeting. Good timing. She pauses and says...well you know [bar across the street] is open right?

They got rid of the infield road course (I refuse to participate in the bastarfization of the term roval) at Charlotte for Cup?
I'm usually all for road courses, but I never really liked it. Good.

Looking good for BMW in GTD Pro based on energy and time left.
Also don't mind dmseeing Vasser Sullivan near the top of GTD.
Unfortunately, it looks like Penske Porsche for GTP. And I guess someone has to win LMP2.
