My brother found this at a vintage clothing shop in Barcelona. M I Z and so forth cc: @chasedaniel.bsky.social

Things that have made my dog bark through the years: -the doorbell on What We Do in the Shadows -the voice used by the vacuum robot -the beeps made when browsing on Apple TV -an accordion on a Rick Steves episode -a theremin version of a Debussy song He is so deeply weird sometimes.

My friend took a bunch of cicada shells and made a diorama.

FYI, everyone, May 1st is High Potassium Awareness Day. Please observe safely.

I can't wait until Hunter Dobbins makes his Cardinals debut so I can officially give him his only appropriate nickname, Bilbo Dobbins. "Who's pitching tonight?" "The Dobbit" "Hell yeah..."

Poor Tito gets none. 🥺

It’s pork steak season. On the left, rubbed with Spiceology’s Carolina vinegar-inspired rub. On the right is Pappy’s Rocket Rub. Both will get hit with the family recipe mustard sauce/mop, and are smoking over applewood.

Attention, Cardinals fans, @popflypopshop.bsky.social has a new Cardinals-themed drop. This time, it's Bruce Sutter. popflypopshop.com/products/239...

Worst weekend for J.D. Vance since his mama traded him for a bag

The Royals are trolling us, come on now…

Happy Easter from this photo I took at the Louvre a few years ago, which I call “Dreaming of SuperJesus”

This is my sweet spot- I love these kinds of cities. Off the top of my head: -STL -Baltimore -Pittsburgh -Cleveland -Memphis -Milwaukee -The Twin Cities -Philly -SF and Oakland -I've never visited Detroit but I'm sure it'd qualify. Most US cities are awesome and way more people should visit them.

This T at my local grocery store means “Time to eat cupcakes!”

I need to see Junior Caminero face off against Kevin McGonigle in a HR derby so I can rain down Simpsons references on everyone like the angry fist of God.

All hats are nacho hats if you put nachos on them.

The Cardinals bullpen is like playing Russian roulette with 5 bullets in the chamber.

Please let this be Jordan Walker arriving

Today in “How well does John know French”, idioms!

I am beginning to think that Alec Burleson is the Stag Player of the Game.

Let’s do this…

Happy Ides of March. Today I’m going to celebrate by getting a Little Caesar’s pizza and cutting it onto 23 slices.

Markwayne Mullin sounds like a Righteous Gemstones character.

Change a baseball player by adding a letter: Crusty Staub

Cheese-filled hot dogs are meat twinkies.

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college (undergrad): -Crime, Deviance, and Law -Perceptions of Death -Sociology of Religion -The Civil Rights Movement -Economy and Society There was also some spy class that seemed fun but was dreadfully boring.

Things suck but please enjoy this video of my short squatty dog running in appx. 10” of snow (blazing the trail set by my wife’s footprints) if you need a breather.

It's very cold across most of the country, so to counteract that, quote-post a favorite photo from a summertime baseball game. Ok, 4 more and I'm cheating- 2 are spring (and rainy no less but warmer than now). The Musial statue (& R2D2 building), Camden Yards, Citi Field, and a Nats Park rainbow.

Oh jeez, only one? Here are four- the London Series in 2019, San Francisco, post-game fireworks over the Mazeroski statue in Pittsburgh, and Oakland. I have a fantastic one of Nats Park with a rainbow over the stadium but it was very much a chilly day in April.

I am a fan of this 12-team college football playoff system (though, it should be 16), but its fatal flaw is the lack of pop tart deaths to end the game

-Church and Baez look like half of a boy band. -Fitts looks like some dude in a bar in a Boston-set movie talking shit to the protagonist. -Blaze Jordan seems like he should be the journalist asking questions of the players

Then introduce them in fake mustaches and Groucho glasses as new Steelers coach Ron Carbaugh, and new Ravens coach Mark Tompkins.

I need a smash cut of every NFL broadcaster using the word "chippy" when opponents have shoving matches this year. The Brady section alone would take like 2 minutes.

Time to ring in* the new year**!!!!*** *smoke **a pork steak *** in 11° wind chill

I made a "Where I'd Live" map.

A fun recipe today… I took golden oyster mushrooms, tossed them in olive oil, then tossed them in a flour/maple bourbon rub mix (an amazing Xmas gift for me from my wife). Then I baked them until crispy. Sort of a golden oyster mushroom chip with a tasty seasoning.

If Stranger Things really wanted to evoke the 80s aesthetic, the soundtrack would intermittently weave in hair band songs with super specific lyrics pertaining to the action on screen.

R.I.P., any chance I had of explaining to east coasters who pejoratively refer to “flyover country” that KC is in Missouri.

-A bed of butterhead lettuce -mixed with red wine vinegar and bacon crumbles -topped with toasted baguette, which itself was topped with morbier cheese -all topped with buttery, slightly herbed sautéed morels right from the skillet (which melted the cheese)

Four Christmas horror movies I try to watch each December (I can do 4 more if anyone wants)

How do you know you married the right person? We each bought cheese as a Christmas gift for the other. Cheesin’s Greetings!

Thank you AI, you’ve done it again.
