Trouble


"If you're looking for trouble.  You came to the right place.  If you're looking for trouble.  Take a look right at my face." 

So sang Elvis back in 1958 with music and lyrics by Lieber and Stoller.  And, that seems to be the theme song that is breaking out all over the place.  As you can see in the picture above a former College Professor is holding a machete to the neck of a intrepid NY Post Reporter.  What had that Reporter done?  He had asked her about a now viral video where said former Professor had been caught, ranting and raving at some of her former students over the abortion thing.  Lucky for those students the former Professor didn't have her machete with her when she went on that rant.  And, we say former Professor and her former students, as the College she worked for Hunter College, fired her. 


Picking up the baton next is Tom Hanks pictured right above.  As you can see that guy with Tom Hank's finger in his face must have said or did something.  Tom in turn gave him the "if you're looking for trouble, look right at my face", question.  

And, Tom Hanks is the guy who stormed the beaches of Normandy in 'Saving Private Ryan', sunk German submarines in 'Greyhound' and took out the Mob in 'Road To Perdition'.  And Tom Hanks had to be the kind of guy that Lieber and Stoller had in mind, when they warned "don't you mess around with me".

And carrying that baton over the finish line is this guy.  

That's James Holzhauer newly crowned Jeopardy Masters Champion.  If you go up against this guy, you lose.  When he hits the Daily Double he bets all his chips.  Then he gets the question right and the game is over even if it's early in Double Jeopardy or just late in Single Jeopardy.  He just has so much money at that point that you can't catch him.  And, you're left on that stage in the Alex Trebeck studio writhing in agony for the remainder of the show, as the answers click off and even Final Jeopardy can't save you, as he just has too much dough.  Look at that face.  That's Holzhauer going all in.  And, that's the line "because I'm evil.  My middle name is misery."

Here are the lyrics and you can see how it's just breaking out all over.

If you're looking for troubleYou came to the right placeIf you're looking for troubleTake a look right at my faceI was born standing upAnd talking backMy daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack'Cause I'm evil, my middle name is miseryWell, I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me
