What is the best way to “smash with a wooden block”?  I think I’d use a rolling pin on a wooden cutting board?

My best guess then and now is that he had no idea how to spell the dog breed, so he didn’t make the connection between the two.

In Junior High, my geography teacher pronounced the Mexican state name Chihuahua, “Chih-hoo-ah-hoo-ah.” As a person who was aware of how to say the dog breed, I thought it might be best to point it out. I got a speaking to after class.

He’s kind of an odd case. I followed him on Twitter for a while, but he’s so MAGA-heavy I couldn’t deal. Love his work, though, and he seems like a great person offline, so there you go.

I’m not quite old enough to be AOC’s dad, but looking at that picture made me say, “Alexandria! You put on a coat, RIGHT NOW! It’s cold out!”

It always seems to happen in the toilets that look like that one scene from Trainspotting, too.

I was walking down the street in Georgetown, DC as a tourist. A skinny bald guy walks past me wearing a green parka. It was weird, since I’m from the west coast it wasn’t likely I knew the guy but he looked familiar. It was Dave Chapelle, who was mobbed for autographs immediately after I saw him. I’m pretty sure he’s…

Every table is different.  No matter how much I lobby for point buy I can’t get my players to stop rolling.  They just want the thrill, apparently.

My 100% “I’ll vote for that guy any time I can” moment for Obama was when I found out that until he sold his books for millions he was still paying college loans.  At the very least, find me politicians who can remember what it’s like to be broke, even if they’re doing fine now.

See, I shouldn’t have been so definitive, because there are some seriously brilliant jokes in Wayne’s World 2, and plenty of good parts in Austin Powers 2. 

That’s legitimate, but I only thought the first Shrek was “pretty OK” and have only seen the sequels once each, back during theater release. Most of my argument is from the other two, where I find their relative sequels to have a Matrix-level drop in enjoyment every time I try to watch them. Meyers has a bad habit of…

Mike Meyers can’t do sequels. Wayne’s World, Shrek, and Austin Powers all went downhill the moment they put a ‘2' after the title.

I started playing Witcher 3 (finally) a few months ago, using this style. I wandered over to a question mark on the map for a little exploration and suddenly PLOT was happening! I had no idea what was going on, and I was oddly annoyed to be dragged into something major.

Half your age plus seven is an almost fool-proof system for “How creepy is this older-younger relationship?” You’re 16? Below 15 is creepy. You’re 40? Younger than 27 is bad.  80 -> 47.  

While we’re on the subject, sort of: Can someone explain “tRump” as an insult? I just don’t get how it’s a burn. He has a fat ass? He’s... Republican? The R personifies him somehow more than the T?  

As an Always-DM, I’m psyched to be a player in a D&D game tonight!  Other than that, I’m neck-deep in Witcher 3.  I held off playing it for this long because I knew it would consume me.  Luckily, my wife actually suggest it as something for us to do together!

I had never heard of Steak-umms before last month, so I googled them. I still don’t really understand what kind of food it is, and now I’ve got Steak-umm banner ads everywhere I go. I’m pretty sure I can’t even get them in California.  Marketing works!

Toll House recipe, with the perfect cooking time: the edges are crispy but the center is just mostly-cooked.  I’ve never gotten them just right the way my mom made them.  That’s nostalgia for you.

I once bought a beer as part of a pick-your-own-6er at a grocery store. I realized later that they probably just found all their singles from broken packaging and put them on a room-temperature shelf, but I was young. Who knows how long that beer had sat on the shelf soaking up UV and whatever other abuse, but it was S…

It’s pretty well known that Lincoln rode the train to Gettysburg, right?
