I can think of at least two ways to eliminate this wasted opportunity.

I saw that BJ Novak book and almost bought it.

My kid completely destroyed the hardcover sleeve looking at the original one so many times. Loved the illustrations. Told me repeatedly which ones are the "big dinosaurs".

Coming soon, to the CW!

I'm writing all this down right now. So many I've completely forgotten.

Gonna have to hunt Frog & Toad down. I know I enjoyed it when I was younger, and they are about the right pace/energy level for bedtime. We've moved past the Boynton/Carle books (for the most part) and are really enjoying the Seuss books right now. But there are also some really short Avengers books that just get him…

I guess that would be the opposite of the Johnson (which works perfectly here). Went in early, but never really achieved the objective.

I can't really remember anything in there that I find egregiously offensive. I think it's a great movie. I'm also a straight, white, dude who's a little behind the times. There are elements of that movie that could rub somebody the wrong way, deservedly or not. I'm not gonna tell them they're wrong to think so. But…

Nixon. Quit before it could be fired for lying and stealing.

"Why are his pants on his face?"

I wish. Mrs. Jive keeps telling me that Predator isn't appropriate for Jive Jr. Seems to me like it's never too early to learn the basics of defense against hostile alien invaders/hunters.

That Lagavulin stuff is tremendous. I'm no expert or anything, but wow. Apparently I prefer that smoky, peaty stuff.

Some Dude doesn't happen to play for Minus The Bear, does he?

I like the version that stayed off until you moved it forward with your foot. No button (not even like the kind on a Dunlop). Way easier, though it sure didn't sound like a CryBaby.

Land Before Time: Journey Of The Brave for what feels like the eight billionth time.

End of 1980 here. I don't like the ocean. I know that shark attacks are very rare, that they aren't malevolent beings, and that it is just a movie. But I still don't like swimming in the ocean. Hell, 8 year old me didn't really like swimming a deep pool. Imagination had a way of running away with me.

Case in point: his hat IS like a shark's fin.

Definitely. But I'm going to treat this like Looney Tunes. Racist, sexist, nationalistic, etc. But dammit, it made me laugh when I was younger. Still does.

Well that's what I heard!

I'd think twice about pantsing Lebron.
