Didn’t even have to part with Luol Deng.

A tri blend pembroke welsh corgi named Gene Parmesan. The dog is named after the Martin Mull character (Gene Parmesan) on the Fox TV show Arrested Development. Also starring Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Jessica Walters, Judge Reinhold, and William Hung.

And she’s not wrong. Gene Parmesan is really fucking cute.

Our daughter gets one free cuss word on her birthday. Tonight, she called our dog, “really fucking cute”. That’s almost exactly what she said last year. A solid choice.

Last year we started a tradition of letting her watch SNL live with us on her birthday weekend. I’m going to be white knuckling through Weekend Update tonight.

11 years ago tonight, my wife and I watched Chris Hemsworth host SNL. At midnight we drove to the hospital and 9 1/2 hours later we had a daughter.

Khalid El-Amin and if he’s too well known, Sam Jacobson.

“We are better than our record indicates and NOBODY believes in you. Play smart, play fast, TEAM on 3! 1, 2, 3…”

At the end of the episode, Taffer does that thing where he starts to walk away before turning to look at his latest rescue.

It’s March and a house on our block still has their outdoor Christmas decorations up. The inflatable ornaments have deflated into shriveled balls.

The bathroom at this establishment is giving me mixed signals.

We don’t launch enough food out of a cannon, if you ask me.

I will eat just about anything, but grapes are about as strong of a NO as I have. That said, despite personal hatred, the answer isn’t grapes, it’s honeydew melon. Useless fruit.

I'm now questioning that you were the one posting about it a few weeks ago. If it wasn't you, apologies, enjoy the brief look into my weekend dinner life.

@johnmoe.bsky.social giving Beecher’s a try tonight!

He would be 99. Dammit. In fairness, Wikipedia wasn’t around in 1996. I wasn’t going to use my precious AOL hours doing the math.

So I’m 43 and when I was a kid, my mom would listen to Steve Cannon on WCCO. At some point during my childhood, my mom told me he was Dyan’s dad. I never had a reason to question her. It popped into my head a few weeks ago and I googled it. She was wrong!

Blessed like dat.

Half the state legislature would cheer our deaths at the hands of ICE goons. This is not an exaggeration.

We found out about a week or two later, it was a bad batch and they were pulled and set aside. The 10mg can I drank while everyone arrived was closer to 75mg. The consensus among my wife’s extended family and our friends was that it was the best thanksgiving ever, hands down.

My family hosts thanksgiving every year and the first thanksgiving after that was legal, a friend from a brewery brought over a bunch of dented and under filled cans…or so we thought…

Oh man, I can relate. I hate when that happens.

Jesus, man. One can only hope.

Both pale in comparison to Batboy getting caught flipping a grunt, if we are being honest.

Your entire bingo card reads like the side stage at the Vans Warped Tour and it’s delightful.

Avoid all Franz Ferdinand concerts too. You can never be too careful.

Every person who publicly claims Ron Swanson as their hero is someone Ron Swanson would’ve fucking hated.

What if she develops a keen love of peak era Slam?
