Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think it's a combination of the name and the happy coincidence that he plays for Jacksonville. It would not be nearly as funny if the Jaguar QB was Alex Smith

Totally. But I'm willing to bet that any professional sports team (or even similarly sized group of people) has one with a silly sounding name. Probably not as perfect as Blake Bortles, though.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

There's an Aussie Rules player called Steele Sidebottom.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That is an excellent name!

Oh, there are so many excellently silly names beyond Blake Bortles, though maybe none that make good exclamations. Key & Peele did those skits for a reason:

Keep in mind that all of the guys who aren't Key or Peele are real pro football players. Sadly, my personal favorite Barkevious Mingo is not included.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Bortles is a funny sound- also (i have no idea his race) it "sounds" like he could be white, so they don't sound like they are retreading the Orangello joke.

What is even happening?

Found it, -t. Thank you.

So, I'm shopping to pick up stuff at Target, including Halloween candy, and I see they have ghost peeps and I feel like I have to get them and maybe a some chili?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Ha! My therapist watches The Good Place, and I told her that today after therapy I was going to the grocery store for some milk, but maybe I should get chili and M&Ms.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Chili is good. M&Ms are good. But not together.
