Look, I appreciate any Hudsucker reference.

I did the only thing I could do, watched the first three episodes of Mando with him. He’d been too young until now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

FedEx: That shipment we messed up and delayed by days, it's going to be delivered by 1:15 pm! Here's even a delivery map so you can watch the progress!

Also FedEx: No, no map, actually, and you're lucky if you get it by the end of the day!

Thomas Edison holds the patent for those, they're tiny phonographs that are suspended next to each ear to create a stereo affect. It fell through when everyone kept losing the incredibly tiny tubes.

"You won't believe it, this cat takes on a black bear, and then saddles it up, and rides it around like a bucking bronco. It's all real, too!"

God bless the physical media!

I found no evidence of it getting the blu-ray treatment, but did put the DVD on my to grab list (about $15 at the moment).

I got pretty good workouts walking up those Metro escalators when I was in Arlington. My home station was Roslyn, not as long, but top five. I also had a job where I was on my feet all day long, so for a short while, I melded into a walking/stepping machine.

Phew, it takes a little hunting to find this for streaming. I remember when it came out, but I don't recall if I saw it then or not.

Going for the Haiti must pay France back approach I see.

Thanks to you, I spent an afternoon at work doing work appropriate head banging along to their music. I did not expect the song with the chorus of meows.

Lawyer: Hey Leverage team, I got some news. You know that saying that art should reflect life? Well.

Big "you wore my van halen t-shirt and they broke up!" vibes there.

Person A: If I had a time machine, I'd go see the Trojan War.

Person B: If I had a time machine, I'd go eat dinner with Jesus.

Me: If I had a time machine, I'd spend it interviewing my ancestors if only to get their damn names straight.

Persons A & B: ...

Me: WHAT.

I hate it when my theory that the only real restraint on politics right now is potential economic pain to a select minority.

Her brother accidentally reached out to me on Ancestry because of the DNA connection and he saw the information I was putting up. When I told him who I was, SILENCE. Him and her feud with their two sisters, who have been nothing but cool with me.

A cousin probably ghosted me after we entered the historic farmhouse she's let go to ruin and grown over to try and collect some family photographs and documents. We saved a bunch of her daddy's stuff, even, and gave it to her. Smiles when we visited, then no replies to my outreach ever since. Eh.

My mom's side, if only because there's more of them. My dad's side is smaller, and those who haven't passed, just fell out of contact with until I started reaching out with family history questions.

Someday we're going to have Teenage Yoda, and I don't know why, but it's going sell a lot of merchandise at Hot Topic.

Welp, your updates are appreciated even more so with the unnecessary limitations.

It was more of a pitch, than a statement, tbh.

"Don't be such an OBY, dad!" -my kid when he hits the teens.

Kay, I'll accept that.

Is this an Artemis problem or a present NASA problem?

This explains all your recent posts.

And this is how community erodes away.

Passenger on bus: Whatcha got there?

Me: I'm taking a Flueringashën back.

Passenger: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?

[passenger pulls out knife]

My kid referred to Yoda as "Baby Yoda," and my heart skipped a beat.

No one wants to deal with miniature people trapped in furniture. Yeesh.

My wife bought something online from Ikea and their response was, "Just bring it to the store."

[Narrator: the store was located 2 hrs of travel away.]

First, don't buy from Ikea. They suck for returns.

Second, look for something you can afford elsewhere.

Third, go back to Ikea, because everything cost too damn much these days and you don't have a choice.

Fourth, just live in the Ikea.
