I moved to a spot down the street from a really good farmer’s market, and on a whim 2017 was the Year of Pie in my new home. I’ve made some pies I’m proud of, but damn do I need to step up for 2018.

I found out today that you can only cash out $50k worth of bitcoin weekly. I’m curious what that would do to the inevitable crash - I can’t quite game it out in my head.

I’m still trying to figure out exactly how I feel about all this - Franken screwed up and should be shamed and punished. One thing that makes me sort of understand the story is that SNL makes a joke of a massive, over-the-top makeout with tongues and wide-open mouths once or twice a season. As someone who wrote at…

I don’t know Indiana, but the 99 counties in Iowa look like that too. I was taught that they were created that size in order to let a person get to the county seat in one day’s travel by horse.

My dad grew up on a farm. His father gave him a broken-down Plymouth when he was 10 and told him he could keep it if he got it running, which he did and proceeded to tear ass around the countryside.

My favorite is when you do stop all the way at a stop sign, put your foot on the ground, then ‘polite’ person decides to wave you through and waste everyone’s time. Then I feel the obligation to step harder to get through faster and now I’ve wasted effort as well. Minor peeves, but it’s a thing.

About 10 minutes ago, someone around the corner down the hall sneezed in my office. I barely heard it, and New Guy in the cubicle next to me shouted, “BLESS YOU!” Fucking New Guys.

I grew up Protestant and didn’t know a Jewish person until college. The only difference between Midwestern Methodists and sitting shiva is Jews have a name for it (where I’m from it’s Just A Thing You Do). I suppose also that you’ll generally see a baked ham on the menu, so there’s two differences.

I have a few Michael Phelps short pants hypotheses, because he’s always doing interviews in an outfit like that:

ROBERT SMITH of the urrr durrr is Drew, right? That’s exactly how Drew would write.

I can see an argument that UNO plays with non-standard cards and therefore is part of the genre, but that’s a big stretch. Don’t play all those fancified UNO versions that Parker Bros wants to upsell to you, just get a deck and play on the table with a bottle of whiskey like the game is intended.

Yeah it goes much faster if you actually play by the rules. I was shocked to find this out as an adult - I like reading the rules and learning the system for any new game, so I decided to take a look at Monopoly.

I live in Northern California. That is literally how it works here. It snows a couple times a decade, and otherwise you have to drive somewhere else to see frozen water.

I just saw on reddit today where someone announced they’re going to name their daughter Baesline.

Doom with headphones in the dark was not for the lighthearted. Now that I think about it, it’s one of the original jump-scare games that the kids like these days.

For me it’s all about how tired I am. I will go to the most divey hole in the wall I can find if I’ve had decent day at work. If not, proximity and familiarity are the only things that matter.

I mean, the way she got up onto the plinth was a serious OSHA violation, so that’s working against her. No fall protection whatsoever - I was saying, “oh be careful oh be careful” as I watched the video the first time.

This is exactly my reaction and the review made me want to buy it *today*.

‘Longest Vehicle Jump: 166'

I think generally they’re just regular people. OG internet types that got sort of famous for something they did for fun. Then, they made an arguably bad joke or five or twenty and got hit with the internet anger machine. To which they responded like regular people that didn’t know how to handle PR - first it was “it’s…
