Not the first time Mongolia has been successful at getting this species returned:

Yes, they do. I once found my dad’s porn stash behind the seat of his pickup. In the aftermath of the drama that followed (distributing them at my elementary school, inevitably being caught, losing a month’s worth of recess, and a holocaust of Hustlers in the family hibachi), my father told me they weren’t his but…

He’s also a coin collector. Talk about doubling down on the nerddom.

I got to meet Tutu in the briefest of encounters almost 20 years ago. He’s as delightful and squeezable as you think.

+1 vomitorium.

Leave room for the Holy Spirit!

Choices choices: do you want to hear about the time I got a month of lunch suspension for becoming the porn dealer (Hustler, not Playboy) to the 3rd through 5th grades at a hippy-dippy private school, or the time a bunch of 50something millionaires ended up filling my New York apartment with so much weed smoke that I…

Hang around 57th and 7th in NYC long enough and you can ask him yourself — he’s got to live right there, because you see him often enough at that intersection that he practically makes a pest of himself.

Canada does it right. If someone identifies a wreck, the government gets involved immediately. They get oversight of the wreck site and they also get everything that’s not made of precious metal or gemstones — all the archaeologically significant stuff, they get. The government also gets some of the precious metal…

….and then, the University of Virginia started digging all of those FCS resumes out of the trash and started all over again.

You mean he’s been Steppin’ Out?

Our high school hockey team had similar problems … you know how hard it is to win a hockey game 21-0?

I used to be an official scorer at a pretty well regarded high school program outside of Philadelphia. I literally had nightmares about stuff like this.

Yay for kitties! They actually sound a lot like my pair — one is super chill and loves everyone and mrrrrrr mrrrr mrrrrrrs constantly in a delightfully bitchy way. The other is a skittish scaredycat who WILL NOT SLEEP without some swirly cuddles first. Thanks for working with the doggies too. Our slightly scary…

The Buddhists call it a mind monkey (or the way I was taught it, “monkey mind”). It jumps around a lot. Meditation helps. Mindfulness helps. Being outside helps — there’s just more to sense out there. Do some poking around online on monkey mind and see if any of the suggestions strike a chord with you. I self…

All I had to deal with this year was my wife’s sister’s new boyfriend, who busted out a “boy looks like Buckwheat” while watching football. My guess is that after my wife quaffed about a half gallon of white wine and practically sang a hymn at the altar of Hillary Clinton, new boyfriend (a grown man named Bobby, which…

Stassa — there are several addresses (aside from Walterboro) around Charleston, SC that are associated with Robert L. Dear B/D 4-16-58, including one in Goose Creek that’s literally right next door to the Navy base there. There is also a record of Robert L. Dear born in 1958 marrying a Kimberly McDonald in Jefferson…

Pedantry alert: the US Mint makes coins, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing makes paper money.

I’m going to give your father a high five when I see him at the ANA.
