Don’t have any root beer at the house. Wonder if cream soda is a good enough substitute.

Cooling!

Making mincemeat hand pies.

Hey Hershey’s! The fortunes in your “cookies” suck!

Based on my significant other's past purchases, I've come to the conclusion that curling irons fall into one of two categories: 1) Subject to rapid innovation, in that they must be replaced as soon as the new feature becomes available. or 2) Break the day after the warranty is up.

I am powerless to stop said cringe moment. It’s going to happen. Question is whether or not I throw myself on the sword.

Well, that’s Mom sorted for Christmas. Excellent work by @placecalledbliss.bsky.social. That’s Katrina on the left and Spicy on the right.

Logically, shouldn’t cookies be called bakies?

Save me from these paranoid dumbasses that think we have nothing better to do than spy on them through their laptop webcams.

Got mine and took it to the bar & grill last night. The bartender even came over and asked how to play.

Our internal corporate website has an article about an employee whose title is “risk influencer” and I officially hate that this is a thing.

Happy Birthday @rockilobster.bsky.social!

Man, I could absolutely kill a Banana Flip right now.

This tacky motherfucker. (I try not to swear unnecessarily unless it’s funny or genuinely warranted. This is warranted and will always be.)

The internet has ruined me. We have a new employee starting next month named Alexxis with two X’s and I’m immediately thinking she’s a porn star.

There’s a potential cringe moment coming up at Christmas. Can’t verify, but if it happens, I’ll be sure to post it. Trying real hard to make sure it doesn’t happen because…. Yeah. It’ll be self-evident why.

Woo hoo! Free lime!

My thoughts keep going back to the line “you’ll get yours” in The Man With the Bag. That phrase has always had sinister connotations to me.

Fun Fact: My first date with my wife was going to see Shearer, McKean, and Guest in concert as themselves. They did music from Spinal Tap and A Mighty Wind. McKean’s wife Annette O’Toole came out and they duetted on “A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow.”

A large CBP presence is back in Chicago this morning, with sightings and arrests reported across the southwest side and Cicero. Bovino is also here.

Avoided a $400 replacement with a little elbow grease and $.25 worth of zip ties.

Chappell Roan must be stopped.

I seriously doubt kids know or care who Mickey Rooney was.

Realized that this is basically the kite & dart Penrose tiles further subdivided.

THERE. ARE. SIX. COLORS.

CodeNames spotted at World Market.

More sneakiness. This gift charcuterie board has spaces for a cheese knife/spreader and a second jar of spread.

Not chocolate. Sneaky!

Made another run through of Half-Price Books and spotted another batch of this year’s #bggcon giveaway games.

The wife’s Christmas cactus did the thing.

These boxes are mislabeled. When I was done, there were only 37, no 34 cookies.

Sitting down for a re-watch. Don’t know if I’ve ever seen the whole thing at once.

While cleaning up the cemetery, found a used Zico lighter over in corner. Still works.

I hate rewarding/commemorating this Confederate asshole, but I don’t say his name. May it be consigned to the dustbin of history for fighting on the wrong side.
