ME: I’ve finally figured it out, buddy. Your little brother…he’s pretty much Indiana Jones. And you…you’re Daniel Jackson.
E: Daniel Jackson? Dad, what are you talking about?
ME [in a deep voice]: I will explain later, Daniel Jackson.… Read more
I was going to do lasagna for dinner, then decided to do steak and veggies instead. I think the veggies turned out better than the steak, and the steak was nothing to sneeze at.
Which brings us to…how in the world did that phrase even get started? Has anyone ever deliberately sneezed at something? Is there some supervillain named Antihistaman whose evil superpower is precisely targeted sneezing? If he detects a bogey, does he launch a booger?
C’mon, people, we’ve got to find out. This question’snot going to answer itself.
P.S.: The second steak survived to be taken to work tomorrow for lunch, as planned. The veggies? They did not survive tonight. Um…plan B?… Read more
You know, son, back in my day, anime was wide-eyed folks doing good and occasionally forming up into giant robots…
ME: So…wait a minute. It’s called Yo-Kai Watch because…he’s actually wearing…a Yo-Kai…watch?
E: Yeah, dad. What did you think it would be?
ME: I thought maybe…it’d be like…I dunno…a tornado watch?
E: A tornado watch? Dad! That wouldn’t make any sense.
ME: And that way season 2 could be Yo-Kai Warning…
E: Dad! Just stop!… Read more

I noticed, with some irony, the words “E-Z INSTALL” on a shard of the plastic diffuser lens on my ceiling-mounted fluorescent light fixture as it shattered as a result of my following the directions to flex it for removal from the fixture so I could change out the bulbs. The whole thing just went to splinters right on top of my head and into the floor (that I was going to have to step down onto from the stepladder a couple of moments later… in my bare feet).
And then I cleaned up that mess, changed the damn bulbs anyway, and discovered that it wasn’t the bulbs themselves, but the fixture, that’s shot to hell and needs to be changed out.
This is turning out to be a week of Mondays.… Read more
You know what? Literally the ONLY problem with this is that the box is smaller than average, and thus contains less product.
Hey Oreo! Hey Reese’s! I. NEED. MOAR. COOKIES!!!
Work on that while you transform this “limited edition” jazz into a full-time engagement for me, okay? Thanks.
