WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM FEBRUARY 24 - MARCH 2, 2021 UCW 19 WEEKLY HOROSCOPE NEWS OF THE WEIRD by the Editors at Andrews McMeel Syndication In Plane Sight In January at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, two employees of United Airlines approached a man and asked for his ID. Aditya Singh, 36, of Orange, California, produced an employee badge, but it was not his: Another employee had reported it missing on Oct. 26, the Chicago Tri- bune reported. Authorities said Singh had arrived at O'Hare on Oct. 19 from Los Angeles and was too afraid to fly back home because of COVID-19, so he hid in a secured area of the airport for three months, living off food given to him by strangers. Singh is unem- ployed but has a master's degree in hospitality and doesn't have a criminal background. He was charged with felony criminal trespass. The Devil Made Them Do It Members of Poughkeepsie, New York's Church of Satan are down in the dumps after someone torched their gathering place, known as "Hal- loween House." According to the Poughkeepsie Journal, video footage shows a person carrying two gas cans, splashing liquid on the front porch, lighting it and running away. Two people who were inside at the time es- caped unharmed; the arsonist has not been caught. Church member Isis Ver- mouth: "Whoever did this is going to be hexed by all of us," she said. "I just don't understand why anyone would want to piss off Satanic witches. 'Cause now there's going to be hell to pay." Police Report In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Curtis McCoy, 46, and his husband got into a spat "that escalated since they have been drinking alcohol" police reported. McCoy "brought up how the victim has only one testicle which caused the victim to get upset," ac- cording to The Smoking Gun. When the victim pointed his finger at McCoy, he grabbed and twisted it, "causing him pain." McCoy was arrested for domestic violence; his criminal his- tory includes shoplifting, disorderly conduct, assault, larceny and other offenses. Perspective Rajan Zed, president of the Uni- versal Society of Hinduism, is asking luxury goods company Louis Vuitton to stop selling a yoga mat made par- tially of leather, calling the product "hugely insensitive" because Hindus regard cows as sacred. The mat retails for $2,390 online; Paris-based Louis Vuitton has not responded. Question: Is it just me, or does ABC's "e Chase" seem mean-spirited? Ken Jennings, James Holzhauer and Brad Rutter are know-it-all millionaires play- ing keep-away from the little contestants and they're coming across as snarky. — Diana N. Matt Roush: I get it, but "e Chase" in its first U.S. version on the Game Show Network had similar attitude, and for me the appeal of the show is on the level of a "Trivia Gladiators" where the con- testants know they're going up against the best of the best, and if they're not at the top of their game, they're going to lose. (In the first episode, with Ken Jennings in the "Chaser" seat, the con- testants won, so it is possible, but not easy.) It could be that this version is leaving such a sour aftertaste because these "Jeopardy!" champs have by and large always been seen as good sports, even as heroes in the rarefied quiz-show world. e jibes on "e Chase" are meant to be humorous, and I can see where it would come off as smug as they sit above it all and gloating as if they enjoy crushing their opponents' hopes. e players know the stakes going in, so I wouldn't take it so seriously. If it's too much of a turn-off, though, there's always "Jeopardy!," where Ken is much nicer to everyone. To submit questions to TV Critic Matt Roush, go to: tvinsider.com. By Damian Holbrook Cheers to "e Good Doctor's" great Christina Chang. e "24" and "Nashville" alum has always been a solid presence on ABC's medical drama. But now that her Dr. Audrey Lim is getting to shine in an arc about post-COVID PTSD — something that real-life docs are also facing — "Doctor" has become true ap- pointment TV. Jeers to "is is Us" for that rear-view peek into Randall's past. Seeing Ster- ling K. Brown's troubled character bare his soul as he uncovered the sad truth about his late birth mother on the NBC drama was a thing of beauty. Seeing Brown's bare butt as Randall skinny dipped in a lake to say goodbye to her memory was a thing of booty and, honestly, a little weird.
