When the tryptophan hits

When you have kids one day you just start talking like a dad. My kid slept in this morning and I greeted him with, "Glad to see you among the living!" I've never used that phrase in my life. It just came out.

You don't even need a business degree for this, one of my buddies kept coming up with business ideas only to learn that they were already illegal when we were in high school.

A little weekend baking

This UW-UCLA game is worth the watch just for the hijinx.

Wow so that’s why you don’t run the fake field goal play

Almost time to blast off

Cueing up the new WORM track

Christine hasn’t been left town yet and I’m already plotting the stupid stuff

Our old man cat was getting alarmingly skinny and didn’t want to eat so we got the vet to prescribe him an appetite stimulant and now he’s like a teenager constantly begging for food.

LETS GOOOOOoOoOo

One eight minute touchdown drive for Iowa please

My jack-o-lantern looks good this year

"Hello <collaborator>. I am looking for some records for this data we're analyzing. Could you send me a list of all of the data points involved in these three sub-projects?"

The masculine urge to stare directly into an open flame

Fryin up some cheese

He’s watching Iowa dismantle the Gophers with me.

Finally, I get to root for the downfall of a Minnesota sports team

Wife is out of town on business so I taught my kids to play Magic: the Gathering

Never a doubt! Go Hawkeyes!

Kinda feel bad for the participants in A&M-Arkansas, but football in a monsoon is very entertaining so I hope it happens.

9:00, 97-yard drive? Gophers, I didn’t know you were nasty like that.

Dinner?

Once again cursed to find myself cheering for a Minnesota sports team

Me eating a giant plate of spicy Thai food last night: Hah hah haha fuck yeah! Wooo! Me this morning: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Wearing a long-sleeved shirt today because I need to be fancy. It's so goddamn hot. How do you people live like this?

Fuck a two-minute warning

Cougars AND Beavers? Sounds indecent.

Can’t believe Beach Bunny covered a Judas Priest song

I'm not gonna use them but it's good to know that ggplot2 has these color palettes available if I wanted

Finally get to live the dream* *Bringing a jar of giardiniera to work to put on my sandwich

Somehow have managed to avoid getting stung by a bee or wasp until today

Back in 2022 I got to see At the Gates perform Slaughter of the Soul and it was awesome. RIP Tomas. Fuck cancer.

Johm Mateer?

Ah of course Portnoy is supporting ISU

Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.

Amazing how as soon as August turns to September it becomes witch metal season

I think I found a slime mold in my neighborhood

rip to everyone whos become delusional after talking to chatgpt but im built different. like actually different. according to chatgpt im some kind of god. the one who decides

Just extended my knee and it sounded like bubble wrap

Oh no I figured out why no one has seen him this weekend

Fuck replay

Cowards

Goal line fade! It didn’t work.

I had forgotten that Holgerson was coordinating NU’s offense

Hopefully we can recreate the result of this game even if I can’t attend it with @jhookwastaken.bsky.social this year

Hope you've stocked up on ivermectin @nikolaidenmark.bsky.social

Can’t have “I will miss you very much” without a little “I am going to cook something very stupid”.

Found a big guy in my garden chowing down on the milkweed
