I realize I'm 4 years late on this, but "There Is No Game" is wonderful and you absolutely must play it.

3 eggs, deviled: a beggar's portion, a slap in the face of hospitality, a pathetic excuse for a real breakfast (18 deviled eggs.)

A fact I will never get tired of sharing: all four Die Hard movies were based on books, none of which were originally connected to each other. Different authors, different(-ly named) main characters, all of it.

I know a woman who, if we're out eating Mexican food, will sigh sadly at the table and say things like, "I wonder what AI will do to queso..." and honestly I think the breakdown of civilization might be worth it, if it's going to be this funny.

The last time we went camping (over ten years ago,) I got West Nile Virus from a mosquito bite and spent 4 days in the hospital. I'm genuinely glad it happened, because now I have a rock-solid excuse to never go camping again.

The "cost" of being a lawyer is also "close to zero." I mean, it's what, a dozen legal pads and pencils a year? We should pay them pennies, too. 😒

I got to hold a mic in front of a live audience this morning for about 3 minutes, and it was the best part of my whole month and that's how I know I'm fundamentally broken.

I can't explain it, but somehow that long bit of ear fur makes Cowboy look goth now (which is a great look on him!)

Usually that style of bumper sticker uses the various religious symbols to spell "coexist." This one spells "eat a dick."

No, I never have. There's enough of my voice recordings out there that it could be an AI recreation, though. Or just someone who sounds like me.

About every 2 months, someone starts a round of "Your Fave Game, but replace one word with _____." At which point it's my job to scroll past 1000s of posts that just say "Sid Meier's Balls" or whatever. Just once, I'd like to see someone write "Balls Meier's Civilization." Mix it up, y'know?
