Today I learned: Camel Cigarettes designed a new character who would be a love interest for Joe Camel, but she tested poorly with male focus groups.
Joe Camel's female counterpart was depicted in the mock-up ads wearing a leather jacket as she drove a motorcycle, and playing softball.
Ahem.

This guy out walking a dog, they walked past a hot dog stand, his dog flopped herself down on the sidewalk, deadweighted, and cried until the guy bought her a hot dog. I canβt believe how spoiled that dog is. I bet that guy felt pretty stupid with everyone staring at him while he bought the hot dog.

I woke up in the middle of the night because Olive was sitting on the floor, crying. It became clear that she was upset because I was sleeping on the right side of the bed. There was plenty of room on the left side. She was able to sleep on the left side. But she WANTED the right side.

I want to travel back in time, wrap my arms around 7-year-old Adam, and warn him that a day is going to come when he orders a new sponge mop and he's actually going to be excited about it because the one he bought comes with special features. Cherish your childhood, little Adam. It's fleeting.

I did, in fact, buy a new bed this past week. Not only is it bigger (upgraded from full to queen), but it sits so high that pit bulls with cat-like tendencies can crawl underneath it and use the bed as a cave.

Fun fact: Burger King is not allowed to have a restaurant within a 20-mile radius of Mattoon, Illinois, because Mattoon has a completely unrelated restaurant that was already using that name before the Burger King corporation trademarked it.

Not a lot of people are going to get this, but I'd just like to say after five years of this, the best part of game show production being predominantly work-from-home has been that there's now only one set of rules for how to fill out a timesheet.
