Two nights ago our 16 year old guy was attacked by a coyote in our backyard. Two vets and and a 12 hour emergency room stint that kept me up over the night and he’s back home. A few sutured up bite marks and one that has to drain for days—antibiotics, pain meds.
Highland Park folks be vigilant.
Dominican Republic -- dancing, hugging, whomping baseballs
Italy -- chugging espresso, kissing, whomping baseballs
United States -- gritting teeth, thinking about the troops, leaving runners in scoring position
Secret bonus round.
Bring back Apartment 3-G as a monthly book and make it absolutely fucking insane
Time for another one of my least beloved memes “Obi Wan gives music trivia and leaves Luke to die”
It went so off the rails so fast and in the best way. I immediately loved that guy for life
The upcoming one I did with Nick Marino turned into one of the most batshit and fun podcasts I’ve ever done, I’m excited for these.
He died in the crash though and he did shoot another kid in a bunny suit that he thought was a hallucination that had been plaguing him.
His teacher is the chief attending physician at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, called “the Pitt.”
His other teacher saw an alien when she was five
The guy who won over the mean gorl later fell in love with another cowboy. That cowboy had gone to a different high school and his sister looked exactly like the transformed DA who died.
This kid could see time travel paths to the future and stopped a plane crash from killing his mom and sister
But he might be most famous for professing his love for another girl by standing with a boombox over his head outside her house
was a radio dj in her own hometown and had never moved past her own boyfriend who stood her up at prom and disappeared. Turns out he joined the military and became a hired assassin just like the other guy she ended up with
The rogue agent had been a janitor as a Boston college but was secretly incredibly gifted albeit traumatized by a painful childhood and home life. He left scholarship behind to pursue a girl who
And that girl went to work for a secret subset of US intelligence mostly focused on tracking down a rogue agent that they could never catch.
She later became a DA in this crime ridden city, but then underwent a radical physical change where she was unrecognizable, before she was then killed by a guy in a warehouse explosion
THAT guy went to a different high school where he tried to win over the meanest girl in school, which he did
kill her English teacher at another school by poisoning her
The wizard with the ring thing had just given up magnetic powers trying to destroy YET ANOTHER big school for gifted kids. One of those students had just come from a high school where brain microchips had been implanted in kids’ heads.
He exposed that with another girl, although oddly she tried to
Anyway he did it. This was after he stopped an alien invasion of his own high school and killed his science teacher. But one of us fellow students also got heavily involved in that undercover street racing sting and I think married the mean athlete who was undercover.
All of it
The cousin survived but was later given an evil ring by a wizard and asked to throw it in a volcano
His coach was a reformed ex-con who’d once tried to rob a kid’s house in Chicago and then later kidnap him in New York. I don’t know how he landed a manager spot on the Cubs after that.
But the kid did end later trying to kill his cousin and his cousin’s family
Yeah she formed a band that apparently did pretty well
who later became a witch and started dating another girl who was also at that same party. But she was also in band at this other school where a guy had organized a bet with his friends during their prom to no longer be virgins.
Weirdly enough that guy pitched for the Chicago Cubs at 12 years old.
At some point she opened some kind of risqué massage parlor while also claiming she could communicate with ghosts, which is ironic, given that another girl at that same party came from a family who owned a funeral home business.
A third guy at that party (a secret werewolf) dated this other girl
The only other survivor of the attack was one girl who dated another popular football captain of a high school across town but broke up with him the night of the senior party. She later started dating some guy who’d had a crush on her since freshman year and they stayed together through college
Other people killed by that fisherman included a young woman who was a self proclaimed vampire slayer and her rich boyfriend who was also involved in a psychosexual dynamic with his step sister who looked exactly like the vampire slayer
The other guy who was a top athlete and exceedingly cruel then went on to be part of an undercover ring involving street racing.
The football captain was nearly killed later on the east coast during the 4th of July by a fisherman out for revenge.
He was really talented I think he went on to have this huge career
Our high school DJ played this at prom. It was weird because the football captain—who was also the top student—had brought some random girl who used to wear glasses. Seemingly in retaliation, his ex-girlfriend, the head cheerleader, did a full choreographed dance to this with all the other students

Today is the birthday or my best friend in the world @eccantwell.bsky.social. Many years spent putting up with me, but also raising our three wild kids. She’s the smartest most insightful person I’ve met. She loves John Carpenter’s The Thing, and she molds young minds. Wouldn’t be alive without her.
