Gave kid a choice between pizza or a movie and she didn't blink

Promised my kid we'd walk to the pizza place when I got home, then got a flat tire AND a busted car battery(also got shorted on my paystub). Got home super late but I kept my promise

If they succeed in turning Infowars into the new adult swim this should absolutely come back

I took my 4 y.o. and spent the whole time thinking it was too much for her only for her to look up at me during the credits to say "Wow! That was a really great movie!"

My main deal at work is building the walkable ceiling so when anyone asks me "What's up?" I dead-eyed respond "Everything I'm putting up"

Took the kid to Forgotten Island last night and it was incredible. How is there not a massive as campaign for this? It deserves to win an Oscar

I brought a crockpot full of chai sweet potatoes to work for the crew and their reaction was universally 1.) What the fuck? and 2.) Oh fuck this shit is good

I'd argue it is modest compared to proposing on the Jumbo-tron

Was working on a factory roof a couple years ago. Was able to spy on the next roof down where the 6'7" guy on our crew pulled a dude aside and said "You just called K 'She' when he's TOLD you he's 'He'. Now we're gonna be cool and say you're just slippin' but you're gonna get real right real fast"

I remember in Evolution(2001) they decided that selenium would defeat the nitrogen-based aliens because it was 2 down and one over on the periodic table like arsenic is to carbon. It bothers me that I don't know enough chemistry to tell if that's bullshit

Took my kid to the beach for the first time and it was rainy and gloomy and deserted and perfect. There were hundreds of seabirds, she filled all our pockets with shells and seaglass, the water was warm and the waves were low

Small shoretown restaurant and the cook dragged an entire play-kitchen outside to our table for my kid to play with. 10/10

The thing about art is you dont *need* to be good at it, you just need to do it and maybe hope it resonates with someone. The Ramones weren't virtuosos, Tom Waits sounds like a cement mixer rolling backwards down a hill and Bob Dylan is cursed with the voice of Bob Dylan. Art is not the SATs

That would be a good idea if I didn't currently have both a 4 year-old and have to wake up for work at 4. I'm hoping to take a month off after this OT job and just veg/parent

I always feel like I'm fucking up everything in my life but never with her. I see that little gremlin teaching herself how to skank-dance and have no doubt I'm a great dad

So anybody else's boss having a pizza party for 9/11?

Guy at work today said "I was born in 2001" and then hastily added "In December!" like he was worried I was gonna blame him for 9/11

Wife's appetite is wrecked by the toddler's schedule but the kiddo gets so enthusiastic about anything I cook or take her out for. We tried Dosa for the first time yesterday and she devoured it

I love when past-self has done meal prep but there's something freeing about dicing onions and celery and being asked "what's for dinner" and honestly responding "I don't know yet"

T-Fal apparently, the set I found was $40 at costco so I'm sure it's not the same line. Absolutely nothing will stick or burn to the skillet and knowing the woman we aren't going to rule out backwoods Appalachian magic on this cookery or it could be the pyrex/Pyrex fuckery

My biological grandmother died in May and cleaning out her house my wife, unprepared, was asked what she heirlooms she would like so she said "the skillet" Apparently this skillet is made from mithril or something because its her new favorite thing. I finally tracked down 3 pans of the same make

I went to a Bruce Campbell film festival at the drive-in. The organizers struggled to wrangle him back to the stage because he wanted to talk to everybody about EVERYTHING. ("What brand is that generator? What'd that cost you?") He was so That Dad

I think this is why all the hate Dungeon Crawler Carl has been getting is bothering me. Yah the first book at least is Ready Player One levels of cringe but we need to let another book series eclipse HP as far as sales go if we want to see it dead For the record, DCC is super fun to read

My kid's "uncle"(my best friend) surprised her on my birthday with an intricately crafted muppet puppet and it definitely - for better or worse - unlocked something in her
