I believe it's a problematic age gap for people who were famous when I knew who the celebrities were to date celebrities who got famous after I got old. I believe this regardless of their actual ages.

Our instrument rentals have all been through a local shop, but working with NEMC which was bought by private equity at some point (they may have sold it since then who knows)

I left my credit card at a Disneyland restaurant over the summer. I got it back really easily, but I had to say "I think I left it at Goofy's Kitchen" to a bunch of people.

You know, when I saw this I thought "I hope Mike is with us for a good while, but when the time comes, maybe he'll be looked after by a karaoke bartender who cares for him very much"

Aslan using a sword? Confusing. Reepicheep using a sword? It Just Makes Sense. I'm probably not just saying that because I love Reepicheep.

I took my husband to a Lego store where he saw how much you set I'm doing with our daughter right now cost. Big mistake.

Isn't this posting to see if you're a ghost trick just the 2026 version of when you had yourself on your own AIM friend list for the same reason?

That is in fact what a Willi Carlisle song produced by Tyler Childers sounds like.

It's just a coincidence that the songs on the radio when I was a kid are all actually genius uses of tropes and the current stuff isn't.

I grew up on country cliches, and I can still love them, but it can also be so lazy. It's kind of "genre music" like books, a good genre book can deploy cliches in interesting ways, but most of them don't.

My patrician told me Phoenicians keep eating his consuls so I asked how many consuls he has and he said he just goes to Fields of Mars and has a dictator for elections send him a suffect consul afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding consuls to Phoenicians and then Two started crying.

My kid hated it when I played "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" the other day and I didn't have the heart to tell her I could play songs of that album she'd hate so much more.

I remember loving (high school) calculus because suddenly there was a lot of algebra I didn't need to know anymore. My 49 on the test on conic sections suddenly didn't matter.

I'm still very much a Southerner in a lot of ways, but regular trips to New England is one of the perks of having married a Yankee.

My parents had a whole list of times they called poison control they liked to recite to me as a kid. I remember it included some hand lotion and a root beer that had been sitting open in the garage for months (that one feels like it was kind of their fault)

Whenever I do something that upsets her she calls me "my father! who loves me!" while doing the gesture of a Victorian lady getting the vapors.

Clueless is the standout of those. If we really need to listen to "Iris" while driving up 95, we reach for Dizzy Up the Girl which we conveniently also have.

Not a marine biologist (don't tell ten year old me), but I think it's a fin whale? Especially if it's notably big for a whale.

One of my all time favorite Amazon reviews is a guy who got really upset that that book taught kids that football was dangerous.

A friend of mine was running late and got locked out of our high school, which didn't normally lock the doors in this days. That's also why she got the news from Howard Stern.

I'm deeply confused how you get yourself to anything other than working class for a nanny? I mean I assume these are not people thinking "well after she marries Mr. Sheffield..."

Watching my dad after his mom died was interesting. Funeral arrangements was the thing that kept his mind off grieving. I didn't see him even seem that sad until the actual service. He was too focused on making sure he got the best deal on the coffin.

I'm definitely married to someone who says bubbler. For a while our kid did as well, but I'm guessing school has changed that.

I have a coworker who drinks out of water bottle that has these two stickers next to each other. I assume they're wagering that calling them out requires admitting to knowing stuff that people won't admit in the office. They're right, because I just raised my eyebrows and didn't say anything.

My parents were just in Quebec and apparently got yelled at in French about Donald Trump. This isn't wrong. They're exactly the Americans who should get yelled at about Donald Trump.

This frontispiece in my book just made me laugh a lot. Is this Buddhist reincarnation, or some other form of afterlife?
