Hey kids: This is Linus Van Pelt. Linus (like most of the free world and parts of Arkansas) pronounces his name with a long "I". Kinda rhymes with "Lion".
That was not the case this morning, as the girl doing the story pronounced Linus' name with a short "I"...not once, but all through her story.
It was clear to the Maven, and those who contacted the Maven about this "Baha Eldon moment", that this young woman had no stinking idea what she was talking about and did not seem to understand the correlation between the famous cartoon character and Project Linus, a worthy non-profit organization that has provided hand-made blankets to children in need, since 1955.
Also, readers, please take a moment and bow your heads, and hold a good thought for all these self-avowed genius Millennials who were born too late to have any appreciation for people, places, and/or things, that preceded their being born on to the planet.
We may be old, but at least, we got to see all the cool bands.
