WELCOME to FRIDAY FEBRUARY 20th, 2026

Here’s The Story….
A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car.
His father said he’d make a deal with his son, “You bring your grades up from a C to a B average,
study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut. Then we’ll talk about the car.”
The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he’d settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.
After about six weeks his father said, “Son, you’ve brought your grades up and I’ve observed that
you have been studying your Bible, but I’m disappointed you haven’t had your hair cut.”
The boy said, “You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking about that and I’ve noticed in my studies of the
Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and
there’s even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.”
(You’re going to love the Dad’s reply!)
“Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went..?” 😮😮
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a WONDERFUL WEEKEND people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

“Airbnb is planning to launch a luxury service for mansions. They say it’s perfect for people
who want to have everything stolen from their mansion.” -Jimmy Fallon

“Spirit Airlines recently gave a family 21 years of free travel after a mother went into labor
and gave birth mid-flight. Though they probably should have given those free
flights to the guy sitting next to her.” -Seth Meyers

How did people first figure out that it was cicadas that make that noise? I could see that
taking a long time. I bet there was like a thousand years where people were like,
‘Yeah, the trees are screaming. They do that in the summer.’ 

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
While I was shopping in the mall with my three children, a display in the
window of a lingerie store caught my eye. “Do you think Daddy would like this?”
I asked the kids, as I pointed to the lacy pajamas with matching robe.
“No way,” my horrified six-year-old son replied. “Daddy would NEVER wear that!” 😮😅

Thursday’s Movie Trivia of the day!  
Marty McFly is a high schooler with an eccentric friend; Emmett “Doc” Brown. One night, Doc invites Marty to the parking lot of Twin Pines Mall, where he has a surprise to show him. When there, Doc shows him a DeLorean, which he has modified into a time machine. Throughout the film, we see Marty go back and forth between the modern 1985 mall and the past where he meets his mother and father. Of course, as time traveling can be dangerous, many events cause changes back in the future, and we see Twin Pines Mall frequently with new updates (including a gag where the destruction of an early tree in 1955 causes a rename to “Lone Pine Mall”). “Back to the Future” is often regarded as one of the greatest films of all time; with a combination of excellent story-telling, fantastic acting and impeccable twists and turns, I tend to agree with critics’ assessment.
 
Answer:  Twin Pines Mall – Michael J. Fox (1985) The correct answer was Back to the Future
  

Fridays Movie Trivia of the day!  
The events of “Alien 3” take place shortly after “Aliens”, and begins with an egg hatching on the ship, wreaking havoc on the crew in stasis. The computer ejects Ripley in an escape pod, and she becomes the only survivor when she crashes on the prison planet, Fiorina 161 (also called “Fury”).

A xenomorph has followed her to this planet, and now she must deal with yet another threatening facehugger. Curiously, in one scene, Ripley’s life is spared by the alien. We found out later alongside Ripley why she was spared; the Alien Queen embryo had been implanted inside of her. Though some begged her to let them surgically removed the embryo and destroy it, she knew there really was only one way the aliens would truly be vanquished.

She leapt into a furnace, destroying the Alien Queen alongside herself.

Thursday’s Quizzler is….​
Diana has been writing poetry for many years and is excited that her first published book of poems will be coming out next year. Her publisher has asked her to write introductions for her poems. From the information given below, can you determine the year each poem was written (1996, 1999, 2001, 2004, or 2009), the occasion or person it was written for, and the style of poetry used (haiku, ode, sonnet, elegy, or free verse)?

1. “The Tree” was either the earliest poem written or the most recent. The wedding poem was either an ode or a free verse poem. “Dancer” is a haiku but was not written for the contest that took place in the 1990s.
2. “Summer Harvest” was written for a family member. “Queen Anne” was inspired by a television show about British royalty and was not written in free verse.
3. The five poems, in no particular order, are: “Confidential”, the free verse poem written in 1996, the sonnet, the poem written for her sister, and the poem written for her mother.
4. The poem written for a friend’s wedding was written before the sonnet but three years after the haiku.
5. The poem written in 1999 was written for her mother’s funeral. The ode was not written for her sister nor was it inspired by the television show.

Friday’s Quizzler is….​😎😎
Five people were involved in an on-line auction for a photo of the original “Star Wars” crew. The bidding started at $200 and climbed. Each person was multitasking and doing something off-line while watching the bid (one of them was watching TV). From the clues below, determine the name of the person, their screen name, how much they bid, and what they were doing in the real world at the time.

1) The initial bid of $200 was made by the person who was reading at the same time, not by the bidder whose screen name was Ewok Master.
2) Neil raised it to $225, but he was not eating lunch; the bid by the person doing that was lower than Matt.
3) Blaklee didn’t take the bid to $250.
4) The person whose screen name is R2D3 clicked at $275.
5) Jessica was vacuuming while registering her bid, but it was lower than that of the person whose screen name was Jedi13.
6) The bidder going by Force Knight was washing the car at the same time as the auction.
7) George’s screen name is Lord Jabba.
