I don't usually pester you with strange replies, so perhaps I can sneaks this one in, about that
Unicorn Song..
a floating zoo, because God "seen some sinnin' and it gave Him pain",
because there's always something funny going on out there. As translated in the KJV, the unicorn is the mysterious re'em animal that like Boston, is associated with Joseph.
People assume that "the reason you never see a unicorn to this very day" is that they didn't listen, and as a result drowned while hiding, playing silly games. I've listened to those lyrics, and the song doesn't say that exactly, but rather that the waters came down and sort of floated them away...

I take inspiration from Joseph, the quintessential "when there's a will there's a way" kind of fellow. I figure that the non-visionaries never dreamt of flying unicorns (aka alicorn for the horn itself).
Many will continue to insist -- 'til Kingdom Come -- that the re'em could not possibly be a unicorn (of one horn) because the text says "horns", plural.
Yet the stuff that just sits there in plain sight, on top of a Redstone ("the lunar unicorn of alchemy").
I often use word plays to take me on little adventures to wherever they go. That.. way, I'm sure to learn something new, in a.. way that will make a memory for the fun of it all. It's a journey, not a destination, which might be why the process tends to irk people. I end up all over the map, so it's not for everyone.
Anyway, it's like the marathon logo itself. I know I've arrived at the finish line* (with its double unicorns, one on each end), because I know that the answer to the question, "Are we there yet?" is always going to be "No." It's the destination of transcendence. The "missing" capstone as it were. I've long suspected that Joseph had a great view from his office window. Inspiring.
The Boston Marathon,
"EST." 1897.
Thus, in the spirit of this time frame of the 127th running, I'll point out the obvious, that the abbreviation "EST" has commonly-used options.
There's "Established", but also Eastern Standard Time (which when not passing through a leap year is 127 days long), and also the Book of Esther, aka "the revelation of the hidden."
EST 1:1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, this is Ahasuerus who reigned, from Hodu [= 1897] to Kush, over one hundred and twenty seven provinces:
Right from the starting line, EST 1897:
ויהי בימי אחשורוש הוא אחשורוש המלך מהדו
The revelation of the hidden = prizes for playing.
Just in case anyone needs a handy mnemonic for the name of the king...

I sure hope "Comic Sans" comes through, because it's the font that everyone loves to hate, so that's even better.
Amazing how those colors all line up for the matching spelling effect. Oys-R-US, eh? 🤣
* Esther [אסתר] = 661, an address right there at the finish line. 661 is "Removery", a tattoo removal business. Translation: people need to keep coming back, returning.. for further treatment.
It never ends! Gotta laugh..
I always find the best stuff. When God said, "I will surely visit you", He wasn't kidding:
"Don't make me come down there." ~ God
