“But Pagliacci,” he says to himself, “I AM doctor!”

Costco has the Halloween costumes out. Overheard this winner:

Oldest kid, indicating middle kid, accusingly: HE wants to be a POLICE.
Dad: no. Police is…not happening.

Oh I feel bad for Ehrman on that third flukey goal for White.

Lovely Day to Leave Your Lover should definitely be a thing.

I’m watching an amateur sports feed and the intermission music is a short loop that is reminiscent of Dirty Paws by Of Monsters & Men. The same four bars of it, anyway. I wanna hear the rest of the song.

It's-a me, son of Mario!

Ah, the Bluesky Style Guide, first edition, aka BS.

I think you could take the isolated vocals from the verse section of 50 Ways and drop them onto the repeated Lovely Day chorus and it might work, despite the slight tempo discrepancy and the major/minor keys. Is that what you were thinking, or more of an alternating between songs sort of thing?

lol the next time I get one of those I'm going to ask "her" how many b's are in the word blueberry

What style guide are we using? (It's after 5 pm on Friday, the correct answer should be "none".)

factory farms are women

I have an Instagram account to follow my daughter's hockey league plus a few other sports accounts so the algorithm has decided to serve me ads for women's undergarments. Whatever, right? Except lately it seems convinced I specifically need bras "for small boobs" and I'm like okay now you're WAY off

I think there's a character in Steve Martin's novella Shopgirl who travels every few weeks between homes (with separate wardrobes) on both coasts, so when he dons an outfit he feels like he hasn't worn in a while, his friends recognize it as the same thing he was wearing when they saw him last.

Congrats, that's a big step up from 300 baud!

I'm looking for the Obvious Plant logo on the package but I'm not seeing it

(And in looking up that bit of info I learned that Luciano gassed himself in his garage and now I'm sad.)

I heard about the female umpire making it to MLB and was thinking about how long it's been coming. I remember Ron Luciano on a late night show talking about a woman in the minor leagues who he didn't feel was cut out to be an ump in the majors, and he died in 1995.

Joe Siddall was still talking about Schneider's 9th-inning HR when Clement followed with his own, and Joe barely paused to say "There's another one" like, yawn. It was getting silly at that point. No home run jacket that inning.

Tim Apple can get in the bin with the rest of them.

Probably an adequate substitute for the Heimlich manoeuvre as well.

A paper sign, taped onto frosted glass, which says “Gelato Room” with an upward pointing arrow.

Just found a photo that I snapped on Friday night in the medical imaging department at Sunnybrook Hospital. I had no luck finding a water bottle filling station but I would have settled for this place if it wasn’t behind a locked glass door. Who gets sent here?

I got an email from a bookstore with the subject "Missed Jellycat Amuseables Maple Leaf?" and just kind of stared at it for a while. Sounds like a randomly-generated passphrase, honestly.

"Frost little Bottom with Angelmaker covered with Heaps of love."
I don't think there's any grey area here, this is objectively perverse.

"Mom & Pop store" with a dose of dysfunctional family

There's a website that helps you identify whether a text character is a capital i or a lower-case L but I feel like I know which is which here already.

Bring it!

It goes so hard you had to mute it.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I love it when someone digs up one of my old posts from over an hour ago
