Your brain fart(s) of the day

[Blzer]

Just had a worse one. Was helping out the 12U team in my softball organization involving relays. I spoke about my OF experience and how we try and throw through the cut-off, and told the girls: "Take it from me, I play out there like I don't want my balls to be cut off. In fact, I don't expect them to."

I have to catch a break one of these days. Anyone ever see jmood's signature?

No idea why my brain just shuts down to that degree sometimes. But I do know how to tell time, I swear! Also, I'm an old guy because I still wear a watch.

This reminds me of how I often wake up totally confused in the middle of the night and just stare at my clock trying to figure out what the numbers mean.

This legit cracked me up.

The parents laughed. I ended up in like a low catcher's squat, sunken into my glove.

I was playing couch co-op Rocket League with my friend in doubles matches online. Like ya do, we were verbally communicating to each other obviously as a strategy. After about two matches, he already picked up on some of the things I was saying and decided to ask, "Why are you saying the game's same exact commands?"

Turns out the only kinds of things I would say were:

Spoiler

"I got it!"
"Defending..."
"All yours."
"Take the shot!"
"Centering."
"Close one!"
"Nice one!"
"Sorry!"
"Wow!"
"Nice shot!"
"What a save!"
"Whoops..."
"No problem."

I didn't even catch it. I literally wouldn't say anything else except these things.

Here is a brain fart that occurs for me routinely, and is not just a one-day occurrence:

If I am dishing out leftovers with say a fork, I will place that fork on a paper towel on my dining room table while I'm heating up the food in a microwave. Every time that I take out that food after time is up, I naturally proceed to my silverware drawer and take out a new fork and stick it in the food, only to realize upon reaching the dining room table that I already have a used fork sitting right there.

Never fails. You think I'd learn by now.

Solution, own only 1 fork.

Knowing me, I'd probably still go to the drawer, find no forks are there, and try and use a spoon as an alternate before I return to the dining room to reveal my only fork sitting there.
