We understand that his Dick is much bigger now. That’s alright, buddy, come in off the balcony now.

If you like Seadoo building these boats, then you’ll like Bombardier building subway cars instead of snow mobiles. That really threw me for a loop when I heard of it the first time 

My only only question is “His name is Buck, and what the fuck?!?” Joe was just as bad on Jeopardy as he is on any given baseball broadcast.

Does anyone maintain a terrorism hotline we can use for turning this terrorist recruiter in?

We have red oaks on one boulevard and Norway maples on the other, all planted by the city of St. Paul. We lost a sugar maple two years ago in the yard because the roots got crossed, and it choked itself to death ($3000 to remove). The same year we got the Amur Maple removed because it was crap, leaving us with the…

I had first read Lord of Light in the early 1970s, and I have found myself needing to reread it every 10-12 years. When the next day to read it comes, I need to go to the Z section of the library, and pull it out.

Saltine crackers. Damn it’s good.

Hot cornbread.

I could eat a kiwi without peeling like I could eat a peach (great title for an album, by the way), but once I found that nectarine was a just nekkid peach, I never looked back, and can’t remember the last time I bought a peach.

Even just the ads for Chad look uncomfortable. No thanks.

Okay, I do like Blue Moon, but at this point, after 8 carload trips to Goodwill, how about I just go to Total Wine and buy some Blue Moon? It’s only 8 blocks from the Roseville Goodwill that we use.

All well and good, but how do I win some free chickens from the place? I hear their wings are pretty good.

Krispy Kreme closed down all their stores in Minnesota over decade ago, so I don’t even have the option of flashing my COVID card with them. Can I tell my local Dunkin’ about this deal and get a freebie out of them?

When I was going to MIT in the mid 1970s (just on Friday nights, so I could meet up at MITSFS for the weekly trip to Chinatown, for House of Roy), but NECCO was on the other side of Mass Ave, in the middle of the MIT campus and even during the middle of the day, you could never smell anything coming off. Along the…

Who gets to file the charges against this asshole that made a false 911 call? Will it be the Washington state Attorney General?

One of the greatest losses of life was in a fire house on Atlantic Avenue. Every living thing in the building was killed that day as the station was destroyed by the molasses. Every fireman, every horse in the stable, even the firehouse dog died.

I worked near Boston’s South Station around the mid ‘70s (300 Summer Street), and if you walked over to the North End during the heat of the summer, you could still smell it then. I smelt it before I ever heard the origin story. In that era, there were no other refineries, only a lot of Italian restaurants.

The nurse who administered my shot was telling us 10 weeks to build up full immunity.

Remember as well that once you get you second (or only) shot, it takes your body 10 weeks to reach fill anti-body levels. I have an alarm to go off when I get to that 10th week, but I will not be going full no-mark, for fear of looking like a Republican anti-vaxxer asshole.

A favorite early Holly Hunter movie, and I passed the original Texas Monthly article about this mom at work too.
