It’s like you’re Holmes and “I’m so brilliant” and we’re all Dr. Watson retorting “No, you’re a drama queen!”. But I digress, one hand to hold the bag and the other…salt and vinegar is it?

The best part is Manufactured in Grand Rapids, MI using Virginia Peanuts and Sea Salt. So not a locally sourced product?

Is this the same 11 year old who made you flip your whig? Or is it wig? Not sure the slang means the same thing depending on the spelling. Ask one of the 11 year olds to look it up on his phone…

They didn’t use to be see-thru. So futuristic.

Love Frank Pepe’s and have eaten at the one on Wooster St (though we usually eat at the one in Bethesda).

Fine. I’ll find someone I want to see in concert and get two tickets and invite you. Anywhere between here and PA is fine right?

I’d roast them, peel them, stuff them with cheese, and dip in them in an egg batter where I’d separated the yolks and whites (frothed them both) then incorporated them without losing the airy component, then deep fry, top with some fried chorizo and salsa and eat.

Please note, in no way, shape, or form am I saying that there is anything wrong with your haircut as you yourself have stuck that in a bio, so I used it as easy fodder for something you’d hate in two days time.

So you don’t get a daily opportunity to fuck up your life? Only two whole days of chance every July? I’ll take some of that action (calling bookie)..Hey Barney..put $20 down on “Even Worse Haircut” to show.

Consider installing a wifi mesh system which would allow you to answer your Zoom calls outside and allow your middle schooler to be on his device outside thus granting both of your wishes. Or did I miss the point?

Okay, hear me out. Hitchhike to Utah (this gets the hiking out of the way and costs less) to only see said dual bill. Or try riding the rails as a hobo and picking up wifi from rail depot to rail depot to post about your journey. We’d read along and say, “That Maura? She’s got grit!”.

What if you went to Utah to hike Bryce Canyon AND serendipitously you were able to see the double bill of “enter both band names here”? That sounds worth less than six hours of travel time.

Did you or did you not fly to Oz to see a band? The flight from Hburg to Utah is 4 hours, 8 minutes, so at what point does the length of the journey to see a band become beyond the pale?

Had to read that twice before I realized you meant bios and not basic input/output system. Too much IT today.

Completely agree. Not unlike being taken aback by an extremely high pollen count.

But this Wolverine (the topical Wolverine) is a Alternate Earth Wolverine who failed his people and things go awry (inferring from the trailer). You must mean the other Wolverine? The one who didn’t don the yellow suit.

Look at the Dick Hyman & Tom Pletcher album “If Bix Played Gershwin” from 2004.

Says the girl who sneaks in well after midnight, hoping she doesn’t get caught by her other self who is sitting in the dark, clicks on the light and bellows “Where have you been? Do you know what time it is? I have been worried sick about myself! You are grounded. Forever!”.

Quietly singing, “Put me in coach, I’m ready to play, today…” slightly off key. Cursing his lot in life and John C. Fogerty at the same time.

The proximity of your crush is what makes it exciting (as there is a risk) so geographic availability is key. An attractive and witty social media persona with a nom de plume on the other hand falls into the flights of fancy category.

Much as we’d all enjoy your punditancy, I’m not sure a TBI is worth it. Also it took me a full year to find spectacles I liked, don’t kid yourself about it being easy.

Gosh the bar must have fallen pretty law. It used to be an earthquake had to kill Lois Lane before Superman would interfere with the flow of time and now it’s just forgetting a pretty face?

Let me guess, there’s this great indie rock band in Bora Bora or a bar in far Bombay?

Look I get that it’s a bit like staring at the sun but you have to power through that. After about an hour you get past that feeling of monachopsis and then it’s easy to have a conversation with her.

Create a pyre from a white leisure suit and platform shoes and set it ablaze with a copy of The Trammps “Disco Inferno”. Make it burns at least 10 minutes and 54 seconds.

You’ve only yourself to blame- that remark on Instagram to a young French girl named Amélie about how her photos cause accidents? She now sits on your roof and periodically disconnects the fiber to the ONT as revenge. Seriously though, have someone check the cable connections at the ONT.
