I was pronouncing "lickety-split" as "liquidy-spit" to be funny. Turns out no one under 70 has ever heard the term lickety-split, so everyone thought I was just being strange

How old were you when you were first told that you are not as funny as you think you are and you made it your life's goal to prove them wrong?

When I was younger I wanted to get a speeding ticket on my bicycle. I saw my chance - a cop at the bottom of a hill in a 25 mph zone. I zipped past him doing almost 40. I stopped and waited for him. He just shook his head- not dealing with your bs today, kid.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Sept. 22, 1926: Ratu Meli Salabogi, an influential chief of Fiji, ends a U.S. tour and leaves San Francisco “with enough saxophones to outfit an entire platoon of royal troops as a jazz band. He intends to introduce modern jazz to the islands.”

I hear a faint buzzing in my sock drawer. I instantly recognize the number on the forgotten Motorola pager. After 25 years, George Stephanopoulos has summoned me again. Gennifer Flowers and Bill Clinton are back together, and George needs my help distracting Hillary. I put on Brute cologne.

The nice thing about owning a house with wood siding you don't have to worry what your hobbies should be. Your hobbies are now painting and light carpentry. Today is another day removing wood rot. Enjoy your hobby!

Hanging out at the marina. Learned that sailors don't say "Ahoy!" or "Avast!" They actually say stuff like "Who are you?" and "Get off the dock or we're calling the police."

An older woman, Dorothy Eckstein, was my babysitter ca 1978. She was known as the Only Jew in Galion, Ohio. Every few days someone would knock on her door to talk about Jesus. She'd simply say "I don't believe in any of that stuff" and close the door. This was deeply shocking to me at the time.

I like Bluesky. You can find anything you want, there are 13 million regular users! No ads! No algorithm warping your elderly parents' brains! No crackpot billionaires befouling the feed! It's hard to get traction for my posts, but maybe I don't have to be the main character all the time.

Since Google is going all in on AI, I finally tried out Duck Duck Go. Breath of fresh air. You can completely hide ads from results, as well as remove ALL AI features and even hide AI from image searches. If you haven't tried it yet, it's a great time.

My dear wife took me to charity bingo tonight. I learned that she thinks you win bingo by filling in every space of the card, and she was stunned that people were winning so quickly. I'm posting this on Bluesky because no one will see it and I am about to die from holding in laughter.
