Books, bicycles, beer (the occasional tiki drink), good food, good music... that just about covers it.

And many years ago I bought it for my kids and they enjoyed it! Great story, great art!

No, dammit! Sorry, I really enjoyed the series. Great books, thank you for them.

Well, you got SC wrong. It's should be the cockroach and kudzu.

Who writes this garbage for him? I can see him rambling and someone trying to take it all down but he actually edits and posts this? He's not capable.

Happening here as well. My dog is looking at me with a tilted head like he expects me to contact the manager to quiet this nonsense post haste.

It's so difficult to write satire that is biting enough to mock the absolute insanity we are living through.

It took a while for the mineral water to get to South Carolina (maybe 2021?) but my wife loved it and then... boom... there was the alcoholic seltzer and we knew it was the end. Haven't bought it since. This is a whole different level of brand abuse.

A master class in how to take a beloved brand (of mineral water, no less) and run it into the ground.

Back yard is nearly full of native plants and flowers for bees & insects. We can't plant in the side yard (we're on a corner) because of all the buried lines (phone, cable, etc). Nor in the front yard beyond what was planted by the builders 18 years ago. We're required to maintain a lawn by the HOA.

Not sure it's the worst but has to be the only one that uses the phrase "inclement weather."

I had another sport celebrity run-in working at a golf course in Northern Virginia in the 80s. I stopped to let golfers go by and it was Joe Jacoby and Russ Grimm. The hole was very hilly and their golf cart couldn't get them both up the hill. So Grimm got out, shrugged at me, and walked it.

He later rode back by and told me he was quitting for the day. He'd birdied the next two holes and said it would only go downhill from there.

I was working on a golf course in upstate South Carolina when Hall of Famer Jim Rice stopped me on my tractor so I could witness him pulling the ball out of the hole after he sunk it on his second shot on a par 5 (an albatross).

And fantastic work at that. Very excited too hear there may be a book on the way!

True... and yet still such a daily embarrassment for our country that somehow just got even worse.

I never fault the writers for the headlines - just commenting. I realize it's tilting at windmills to rail against the NYT to match a strong, critical opinion piece with a proper headline.

How about "abused" rather than "wielded."

Cover of the book "I'm OK, You're OK" with the author's name, Thomas A. Harris, MD at the top in blue on a white background. The title is black on an orange background with three vertical circles above it, the middle circle being a peace sign. The subtitle is in black and is below the title and reads "A Practical Guide to Transaactional Analysis."

I think you forgot "I'm OK, You're OK" by Thomas A. Harris.

Dammit, I had gone months without seeing his name. Good streak spoiled.

You totally passed up the chance to quote, "hold on loosely."

Why hasn't Gaviscon secured the rights to Jimmy Webb's "Galveston" for their commercials? So close... it's right there.

I have to sing it in my head every time I say his name.

Shell! Teeth! Eyes! Flames! Claws! Breath! Scales! Fun!

Can we have a Gamera instead of a Godzilla? He is a friend to all children.

It is exactly that... fear and hatred of Black excellence and success.

Better man than me that you can actually watch. As the kids say, "too cringe."
