Snoopy, The Boss & Me
A coupla years ago CBS Sunday Morning did a segment on Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen's brilliant slab of desolation Nebraska (watch the segment here), during which re revealed that the notebook he used to write the songs in was a Snoopy notebook:
........aaaaaaaaand just a few minutes ago I was rummaging through some old college folders I'd found and well well well just LOOK at what I used in British Lit IV!!!! 🤗 😜🐶🎸🕺

George was in the right here and should have gotten his bread.
State du Moi
I’m not saying I’m the victim here but as someone who is very comfortable being considered to be the laziest member of his own generation I am saying I’ve never felt lazier in my entire life. 
Real Talk, with Xmastime
The greatest compliment we can give something we’re eating is that it tastes like butter & yet I've never seen anybody just sit down & start eating butter.

Parking Lot
I found this unsent letter in a pile of old college folders (more to come on that! lucky you!) ("old" college folders...as if I have new college folders?) and while I've redacted the names - you're welcome very much - and find it about as bemusing as you do when you find a dumb letter you wrote 31 years ago that wasn't even worthy of being sent, my big question is...was I somehow under the impression there was gonna be some sort of Clash reunion? How's that possible? Wouldn't I remember that? Was this a running joke me & [REDACTED] had going at the time? 🤔🤷♂️
Parking Lot
The fellas! Scooter & Rudy, at some hotel at William & Mary that (we thought) allowed dogs to stay in the room. 2023 or 2024. Great night, my favorite hotel room of all time!! 🤗🐶🐶❤️

Sitcom Ideas. I Have Them.
Set in 1872, the guy who runs the Post Office has a stranglehold on the town of fewer than 150 people since he has control of all the information coming in & out, hilarity ensues.

Current Events: Israel
Suddenly I'm noticing it's okay to at least question Israel's bona fides, so I will just put this here for now & see if we need to come back to it later. 🧐
As I said a few years later in 2010, this is like having a teammate who's a complete douchebag that keeps dragging you into fights on the field while you shake your head at what an asshole the guy is. But hey, we're supposed to be so worried about Iran, not Israel, right?

PBS is Just the Greatest
There’s a million reasons to be horrified of a Republican administration, but one of the more personal ones to me is the always-looming threat of them scrapping PBS; I’ll leave the obvious political discussion for another day, but right now is a great example of why PBS needs to be left alone – I just randomly popped in to see what was happening on their live WETA channel and what do you know, it’s a documentary breaking down the recording of Penny Lane. Not some “oh isn’t this song pretty???!” thing, but an actual breakdown of the tracking etc. Incredible.
THANK YOU PBS!!! PBS ❤️ FOREVER!!
Let's Hear it for the Cafeteria!
Like most people I suppose, pretty much all of my cafeteria memories are from my youth & I had no idea how small/quaint the industry itself has been, which today is on shaky ground but after watching this short video ladies and gentlemen I am here to tell you right now that the second I become a billionaire I'm opening the greatest cafeteria in the history of the goddam world.
CURRENT EVENTS: Let's Make a Deal
Someone needs to lightly tap Trump's head because he's become a record that won't stop skipping with the whole "we can't have men playing women's sports!" thing, so in the spirit of bipartisanship I will present the following:
If I promise to never tape my penis between my legs so I can play junior varsity girls volleyball can Trump promise to get rid of ICE in the streets?

Oh Thanks Wegmans...
...for offering us adorable stuffed versions of the animals we’re gonna be buying 2 aisles over next week so we can stuff our faces at Easter dinner.
XMASTIME On the Debut of the UK Saturday Night Live
I've only seen two sketches & I really liked both of them (the one below - the first one I saw - had a delightful whiff of Monty Python to it? or maybe I was just looking for it?), and having Tina Fey kick the whole thing off was brilliant, like easing somebody into a tub of warm water, and of course I personally loved Graham Norton speed-checking her on classic British sitcoms, all of which she nailed even though I was bummed they didn't do my Only Fools and Horses but hey life is life, right?, 🤷♂️ so I will be checking in on it for at least a coupla weeks (and certainly as long as Saturday Night Live insists on continuing with their beyond-dreadful cold opens.)
Lovely jubbley bruv, you know it makes sense!
Podcast Episode Rec
Even as a lifetime Knicks-hater this podcast is a warm fuzzy blanket of coziness; of course 90% of this is because I love Ed Burns but I also can easily fall for nostalgia when it comes that era of the NBA and as I've mentioned before, why isn't Bernard King narrating documentaries for Ken Burns with that voice?!?!?!???? 🤗😜🤷♂️
Enjoy! And yes, you ARE welcome!!
The Arc of Exceptionalism May Bend or Whatever but It Does End
When you look at the current president and his cabinet of 5th-year senior fuckwads you realize that America's history as a country is the personification of the way family dynasties usually go:
Old Man Joe Kennedy: hustled his ass off to build the family fortune
JFK, RFK: brilliant progressives who used the family fortune to try & enact their vision of how to best push the country forward
Their kids: dear god.
Founding Fathers: brilliant statesmen, clearly the best of the bestI believe I speak for everybody when I suggest: 😬
Every Politician Between the Founding Fathers and 2016: indisputably qualified players with varying degrees of good & bad behavior but all under a presumptive agreement of norms
Trump: dear god.
Sometimes I Scare Myself with My Own Genius
Should-be Hold Steady lyric:
"And she said man my only regret in this lifePREVIOUS HOLD STEADY GENIUS FROM XMASTIME HERE
Is never seeing Al Green preach in Memphis,
And then she puked her purple Big Gulp all over my new Keds"
