Singer playing harmonica

Singer playing harmonica

When a singer starts to play the harmonica at a concert, why does everyone there lose their freaking minds? It’s like they’ve never heard a harmonica before. Or any other instrument. Or music. Or sound.

Yeah, it’s not that Jeff Daniels. I was confused too.

I’ve laughed out loud at this four times. I think you’re the funniest person on Bluesky.

He lost me at "a golden retriever is smarter than a chihuahua." Last night, I saw a golden retriever eat my dog's poop.

If we're ever on a road trip, and you're wondering what I want to hear, it's this. But not too early in the journey, because that's not fair to all the other songs that come after.

The Tigers wore army camo hats against the Jays in Toronto for β€œrivalry weekendβ€œ during the peak of the 51st state crap.

I sure hope A.I. comes up with the idea to put resealable bags in cereal boxes.

First time I ever went to Disney World, in about 1998, I was a grownup and my wife and I took our toddler to Muppet Vision 3D. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit how much it blew my mind, and how much I loved it. It made me a Disney fan for life.

I think a reasonable person could read that sign to mean there is only a 30 minute time limit IF you are consuming food. If you’re not consuming food, I think you can stay there as long as you want.

Could’ve said the same for the favorite, Journalism.

This is a great story and I’m really glad you shared it, but I’m having a hard time getting past β€œtape measurer.” That’s a typo, right? Or do people really say that, like some people say β€œbreakfastses?” I know I should let this go, but I can’t. Would a tape measurer only measure tape? Please help.

To clarify, by β€œsquash,” I mean the sport, not the gourd. (Looking forward to being in the People Who Compare Obscure Sports Starter Pack.)

So, in squash, players keep the ball as close to the wall as possible. One hits the ball right along the wall, then the other does the same. The first one to put the ball in the middle usually loses. And that’s exactly how NHL playoff hockey works too.

Yeah, way better. I thought it was a hockey joke. Came up with a whole backstory of you being from Edmonton

Eisenhower's letter to the president of the company is a highlight.
