Down on the River by the Sugar Plant by Mike Doughty

The best part of this is that I am told the fries are still cooked in whatever seed oil before they are shipped to the restaurants, they are just fried at point of sale in tallow before being served. So it’s the best (worst? Most?) of all possible worlds

RIP Todd Snider, my favorite musician to see live. I once asked him to play a song he wrote and he told me he didn’t remember it. He did write and remember some other ones, though. Here’s a good one: youtu.be/rNNk_3dcU3g?...

Was truly an insane statement to make live. You can’t win the Heisman with a clutch TD pass (and drive—it was all very good!) that was required because you underperformed all day and threw what would otherwise have been a back-breaking INT to lose the game

A movie you’ve seen more than seven times with a gif.

I considered The Goo Goo Dolls in that spot, too. Saw them live this summer and 20+ years ago, so good!

Mitch Hedberg: “An escalator can never break. It can only become stairs.” The leader of the free world: “The stairs should be arrested.”

The Parking Spot airport parking app sends push notifications about things like weekend specials. “I wasn’t planning on parking at the airport this weekend, in part because I wasn’t planning to go to the airport this weekend, but if I miss this deal I’m basically losing money…”

Love the diverse experience in the Philly airport. Terminal A: here are many nice lounges, oh no too nice for you. Terminal E: some of the lights are on.

Last night as we rode on the hotel shuttle from the Orlando airport to the “X hotel Orlando airport,” son was extremely annoyed that the hotel wasn’t in the airport and that the airport wasn’t in the hotel. Don’t know where he gets it…

-ly good, you mean?

Not when there’s a basketball court in it for the 2024 ASG

“You’re probably wondering how I got here…”

Probably same number, just in Indy

As a recently relieved Hoosier

Evergreen

Mariners should consider hiring a bullpen

Feels like I’d just gotten “naturally, we called our stuff gator-ade” out of my head from the Spurrier footage commercials that ran 20 years ago. Devastating reintroduction

@kentremendous.bsky.social was on this from the beginning: “We are sick and tired of this feminized society. Men have had a very rough go of it for… just recently. And it ends now.”

I wear them almost every day and hate this about myself so much. Hth

Apologizing for the convenience of escalator-temporarily-stairs and needing to figure out wtf else is in the recipe for Sprite are the two others that come to mind frequently for me.

Is this an “if you ignore Game 3s” stat?

Apricot Hernia

Ben Gibbard was born in 1976, so that’s pretty close

This is no surprise to me

Nickelback opened for Three Doors Down (and Seven Channels opened for 3DD, of course) at the Ft. Wayne Coliseum in 2001. Not counting Tom Petty 100x with my parents before that

Jackson is v blue. What point are we supposed to be making here?
