As I have been making my way through old episodes of "Seinfeld," I learned that Kramer was originally called Kessler. The character was based on a real-life former neighbor of Larry David, named Kenny Kramer. However, when the Seinfeld show started, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David agreed that naming a character after a real-life person was not a good idea. So they called the character, “Kessler.” But after just one episode, they decided that the name Kessler didn’t sound right. So they changed his name to Kramer and made up a story about Kessler just being the name on the mailbox.

Sweet Lincoln's mullet, why do old men like to be completely naked in a locker room?
I know older dudes are way past caring what other people might or might not think about their physique. They have heard and seen it all but have some sympathy for the rest of us.
I am fully aware that gravity is going to do some stuff to my body as I age but that doesn't prepare me for turning the corner into the locker room and seeing Old Man Funkerdoodle shining his ball sack with his towel like he is getting ready for America's least favorite reality show "You're Naked and I'm Afraid."
I am not going to sleep well tonight. 


Mr. Roboto

I don't know if you heard but AI has been in the news lately because of ChatGPT. In case you haven't heard, ChatGPT is a chatbot that can quickly create detailed responses and articulate answers across many domains of knowledge. I have been experimenting with its capabilities at work and asked it to write me a blog post about dad jokes. So wonderful blogging friends, please give a warm welcome to my robot friend's attempt at a blog post:
 
Why are dad jokes so funny?
Are you a dad who loves making – and laughing at – bad jokes? If so, you're not alone – in fact, dad jokes have been a source of humor for many generations. But why are dad jokes so funny? In this article, we'll explore the science behind why these often eye-roll-inducing puns are so irresistible to fathers everywhere. So, put on your thinking caps, dads, or better yet your dad-joke-telling hats, and let's get to the bottom of this age-old question!

One theory is that dad jokes are funny because they are so corny. In other words, they are so bad that they are good. This theory is supported by the fact that many dad jokes are based on puns. Puns are a type of wordplay that occurs when two words with different meanings are used in place of each other. For example, a dad might say, "Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!" This joke relies on the two meanings of the word "trust." The first meaning is to have confidence in someone or something. The second meaning is to support or hold up something. In this joke, the first meaning of "trust" is used in place of the second meaning of "support." This wordplay can be confusing and is often hard to understand, but that's part of what makes dad jokes so funny.

Another theory is that dad jokes are funny because they are unexpected. Since dad jokes are often based on puns, they often take us by surprise. For example, consider the following dad joke: "What's the best way to describe it when it rains cats and dogs? An animal catastrophe!" This joke is unexpected because it uses the phrase "cats and dogs.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you are doing great and I will talk to you soon. 

I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.

  2. It may be unspoken but I want my "party" guests to leave by at least 10. I didn't know that about Kramer. My younger daughter's ex was named Kramer and he got a lot of teasing because of it. I like the name! I don't know what to think about that Chat thingie; my boyfriend is fascinated with it.

  3. I didn’t know about the Kessler name. I’m currently bingeing Curb Your Enthusiasm and it’s hard to tell what’s reality and what was made up for the show. Things like bitcoin and AI, I’ve decided to ignore and hope I die before I ever need to fully understand them.

  6. I'm a big Seinfeld fan and didn't know that bit of trivia. I'm pretty sure I've even watched the first episode. I know what I will be doing later today.

    I can't remember the last time I was in a locker room setting where nudity occurred. I'm pretty sure I don't want to be in a locker room setting where nudity could occur anymore. On the off chance there was nudity that was interesting for me to look at, I'm sure the young ladies would have me hauled off in handcuffs.

  7. I've been playing around with chatGPT, too. It is fascinating. Out of curiosity, I asked it the same question and got a response that was somewhat different. And you may find this difficult to believe, but there are old men who have far better physiques than many of the much younger men who shop in my store, and believe me, Home Depot is a magnet for men.

    Just read that 70% of heart attacks happening during sex, is with a stranger. Something to keep in mind.

  10. I didn't know that about Kramer, but then I'm not much of a TV watcher. But I have been in too many locker rooms and I just don't look around.

    I liked the ball polishing photo that went along with your commentary. Yeah, I don't get the exhibitionism with people either. I don't spend a lot of time in men's locker rooms, as I'm sure you can imagine. Closest thing I can think of is when I was feeding my babies. I was NOT embarrassed or ashamed, but I felt like feeding was between me and the baby, and the world didn't need to see it. I wasn't always successful with that, kids have to eat, but yeah.

    Now I'm going to go off and experiment with the AI thing. Looks interesting.

    The doggie meme is fab. As for ChatGPT, we have been talking about it too. Plagiarism is going through the roof because super lazy students just feed their query to it and cut and paste. Plagiarism is detected in the way CGPT constructs the sentences. We are more varied in the length and syntactic complexity of ours. It does not quot, either, so there’s that.
    And I love how older men simple DGAF. LOL.

    1. CGPT definitely has some shortcomings and patterns that make it detectable

  13. That locker room party had me laughing out loud! Interesting fact about Seinfeld. That is a classic and they don't make shows like that anymore!

  14. I won't have to write blog post anymore. I can let the AI make me a more interesting sounding life!

  15. My favorite meme is the guy with his pants on backwards, lol. I see naked women in the gym locker room all the time. All ages and body types. After the first few, you just go about your business. Expecially after that first mooning :-)

  16. I am very self conscious. Too self conscious, probably. In Hawaii Europeans often go to Waikiki topless. They were not at all self conscious, and I found that amazing. Some of them had reason to be.
