Jim Gaffigan does a bit about how people question non-drinkers and how those questions would never come up in a situation where someone chooses not to eat or drink another thing.

That’s kind of diabolical. I recall similar suspicions when Boris Johnson rambled on about how his favorite hobby is building and painting model buses during an unrelated interview once. News outlets reported on that interview, and reports of other bus-related Boris news were buried in the search results.

I saw it at a park once as a kid, and they gave out little Hot Wheels versions of the Wienermobile. I still have mine.

I feel like those who use whistles often (NHL referees, for example) may have strong opinions on whistle design and would happily pay up for a quality model. Although when I worked as a lifeguard, I just took the cheap plastic whistle that the waterpark provided me and was happy with it.

I remember visiting Florida with my family as a kid in the summertime and just feeling that blast of heat and humidity as soon as we stepped out of the airport. It was oppressive (but everything else about the trip was really cool). Later in life, I visited in the wintertime, and it was lovely being able to enjoy a…

I’ve done the rubber band trick in a pinch (usually jamming a folded-up business card in between the sticks), and for a trip to Japan I bought some little plastic things that chopsticks can snap into so they can be used like tongs.

between 4% and 14% of the population experiences a soapy flavor when eating cilantro

“Dr" Elizabeth tricked me into clicking one of her lazy copy/pasted "articles" again.

Just looking at the haze in those pictures caused me to feel the humidity through my screen.  I don’t know how you Floridians tolerate those kinds of conditions.

You GMG people and your bidet advertisements. It never ends...

I’ve always seen “smart” thermostats as an easier-to-use version of a programmable thermostat — sort of the way that TiVo and DVRs didn’t do things all that new beyond what VCRs did when they were released, they were just way easier to set.

The “keyword check” feature is cool. With so many HR systems relying on an automated process for the initial screening of candidates, this can help to ensure that your resume will at least make it to a human for review at the next step.

Do you need to know who the athlete is to realize that he’s playing a different sport?

Nike’s Jordan “Jumpman” logo is one of the coolest corporate logos out there, but it looks so goofy on anything other than basketball apparel.  I watched a football game recently where it was on the players’ uniforms and the coaches’ shirts, and the dissonance involved seeing a football player with a basketball…

assuming that you and your family are turkey fiends who can take down 2 pounds of the bird each as Butterball suggests

Man, ThinkGeek was cool. I found so many unique gifts there. And I feel like the “April Fool’s Day joke to real product” progression happened on multiple occasions!

This spelling always cracks me up because it reminds me of the way that a former coworker used to pronounce the word (as if the name of a Dukes of Hazard character were squeezed into the middle). The number of times I’ve seen it used in this column leads me to believe it’s intentional and not a typo, and that makes me…

I was surprised to see some buffets bouncing back. Even before the pandemic, they were a dicey proposition. People ducking under the sneeze guard to get their food, little kids grabbing stuff with their bare hands, people reusing plates, and who knows how long everything has been sitting out. When the world was…
