Apologies to OTN contributors for the delay this week. The holiday, combined with my life & work flow, we decided to push it back a couple of days.

This week, we are looking for songs with the following in title or lyrics: catch, caught, grab, seize, clench, grip, hook, capture.

Inspiration for the topic: Last Friday, I was in St. Louis for Battlehawks game and in pregame I caught a pass from our very own former ISU QB Seneca Wallace.

"On That Note” is presented weekly by @MeanDean, @cyclones500 and myself.

This thread is a thoughtful read, but it presents a much better understanding of Memorial Day than the all-caps "Happy Memorial Day" tweet posted earlier.

I'll watch seems like I usually do.
Penske got busted with some modified safety parts that don't effect performance but got sent to the back row.

Rookie on the pole.

Kyle Larson is trying to run the Indy NASCAR double header.

I just finished watching The Six Triple Eight on Netflix. For the most part, I thought it was a rip off of Tuskegee Airmen only with women and not nearly as compelling a plot. I mean, come on. Mail sorting during World War II? And let's face it, it's not like they had any great impact on the war. I mean, after all, they didn't start sorting the mail until February of 1945. That's after the Battle of Bulge, when the war was all over except for the shouting (and some shooting), but Germany had already shot its last shot at turning the tide of war and it was all downhill from there. So they had less than a month or so (after they figured out what they were doing in the first three months) to actually deliver the mail while there were still bullets flying. Minimal impact.

But for some reason, I can't stop thinking about this very mediocre movie. I watched it last night and laid in bed thinking about it after that, and it's the first thing I thought of this morning and I've been thinking about it all day. Frankly, I'm shocked I didn't forget it as soon as I finished watching it.

Are there movies like that for anyone else? Movies that were bad, but you can't stop thinking about them and the thoughts are not necessarily how bad the movie was?

They are all wrong though because my dogs are the cutest. They are also the smartest, most loving and most awesome too!
