Paul

Oh, and given this aged post, I guess I need to stop delightfully referring to myself as Paulyboy. Rats.

And is that a Kate Winslet’s Oscar appreciation shirt?

Someone once told me that a fun indicator of just how old you are is when you see a doctor who is younger than you and well, well, well, Paulyboy…

Oh that’s a lot

And not that there’s anything wrong with that! Like, I hope my mom intentionally named me after Paul Newman or something!!

Whenever I have a student named Emma, I try to do some quick math and decide whether or not they were named after Ross and Rachel’s baby.

And I know I, like, just finished the first episode of Black Rabbits, but it’s just a comforting structure to some of us.

Dear streamers, please do a previously on….

I’ll be your best friend?

Phil Dunphy successfully walked on a tightrope. I have to kinda uncontrollably silent snort cry.

Well, let’s not go overboard!

Mrs White: That was uncalled for

I think you meant this

I just coached my final cross country meet of the season and god bless Thursday’s forecast of torrential rains and also yes please clap

Who died and made me an indecent proposal?

I just erased a board. Don't even look at me.

I like to think her mate Paul is actually me.

Deeeeelicious

If they started a cult, I guess I’d be in a cult.

I usually think of Mary Steenburgen’s husband in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape who drowned in the kiddie pool.

But also remember! You can drown in an inch of water!!

And calm down, Paul, it was a sandbar 50 yards from the shore.

It’s fine if you want to criticize me for my abandonment issues, but kindly remember when I was 5 years old and my father left me in the ocean.

My dept loves a pun

Me: there is a time and a place

But a costume this is not.

Did you notice that my drumroll left you on the edge of your seat?

Does my power and influence leave you shook?

People too into fall!

The English dept. in which I work wanted to be for Halloween Literary Stem+ puns, which I've been arguing is not an identifiable thing, and therefore, not a costume. So I talked enough people into wanting to fulfill what has been a costume dream of mine for a group of people.... drumroll....
