Know Thyself.
I don't think anybody who’s known me for more than 0 minutes would accuse me of being a control freak, but while I don’t seem to dream much when I sleep I do actively daydream pretty much constantly when I’m awake, so do I feel the need to be in control when I dream? That’s what I’m a control freak over, controlling my dreams?

Oh Wow, Speaking of Atlanta's The Westminster Schools...
...I see that Gone with the Wind (aggravating) author Margaret Mitchell and the Michael Jordan of Civil Rights writers Taylor Branch both went there as well (albeit 36 years apart). Fascinating.
Questions About THE OFFICE. I Have Them.
Both Andy and Kevin got dumber as the series went on - Nard Dog would show flashes of sense while Kevin's stupidity reached once-thought unimaginable lows - and what I'm fascinated to be remembered of is the fact that Ed Helms and Brian Baumgarner went to high school together at Atlanta's The Westminster Schools, so I guess my question is dafuck is going on at Atlanta's The Westminster Schools? 🤔 🤷♂️
Here's to David Koechner, Todd Packer Forever
It is a truth universally acknowledged that whilst Todd Packer was a horrible person, he batted a goddam thousand every time he showed up; somehow it's only now occurred to me that even as incredible as we all know David Koechner's performance to be, it's actually underrated - the takes we're seeing have to be like the 15th or 20th takes since you KNOW there's no chance anyone could keep a straight face through almost every one of his goddam lines. Incredible.
David Koechner is the World B. Free of sitcoms.
Yes Dinner Party Douchebag du Jour
Yes Dinner Party Douchebag when you say Breyers vanilla is your favorite ice cream flavor we already fucking know you mean the one with vanilla bean, you don't hafta fucking say it.
Another Van Lathan Classic
It was Friday the 13th on today's The Rewatchables & while I’ve never actually sat down & watched the movie I felt like I had enough of a grasp on the plot & my optimism was rewarded with an all-time Van Lathan Hall of Fame Moment, Five Movies He's Okay with Having No Black People In Them. 🤣🤣
And yes I rather thoughtfully took the trouble of pulling out just the 3-minute clip from the entire episode myself, you're welcome very much people.
PS - after listening to this, go back and listen to this other Van Lathan all-time classic!!

Whoever the guy checking Trump’s mic just before he went on in Alaska looking like a confused groundhog on Groundhog Day will be an instant comedy meme legend. 🤣🤣
Xmastime So Sayeth, So Sayeth Xmastime
The problem with reading Dickens isn't the old adage that he got paid by the word, it's that from what I can tell he got paid by the character. 
Moi Say Moi back in 2025:
Who can keep up with all these characters when they're the size of the goddam cast of Ben Hur?

Questions. I Have Them.
Can you even call yourself a uncle or godfather if you haven't at least once screamed at some kids "yeah well guess what we're eating total crap tonight while your parents are out"? 🤔🤷♂️

Xmastime on Football, Ish
I don't really pay attention to or care much about the Dallas Cowboys unless I'm talking to Brothatime!! or Paddy Mac, and it's occurred to me my Cowboys fandom evolved over 3 phases throughout my earlier decades:
Became a fan just as their brilliant 1970s run, which gave them 2 rings & the moniker America's Team, was fading away as a distant memory, leaving us who had never really experienced it in real time to worship it the players as if they were superheroes of fantasy.
Came of age during their dreadful 1980s run, although I have nothing but warm memories due to cozy Fall afternoons with overcast skies outside and the voices of Madden & Summerall inside.
Peak age of football fandom, early 20s as a young man stats crossing into adulthood, when the Cowboys were a dynasty but of course you still had to feel like they still didn’t mean as much as those 70s team.

I don’t really know the point of all this, but hey. 🤷♂️🏈
Sunday Argh du Jour
When I saw the headline The One Question I Can’t Stand at Restaurants I cackled with glee that the Universe had finally caught up with my premise from 2023:
Argh.
The 7 worst words you can possibly hear when sitting down at a restaurant you've never been to are “so, have you dined with us before?” and then it’s 12 minutes of trying to describe a needlessly new & complicated way of ordering food and having it brought to your table....and yet of course I was once again disappointed with you people, as the stupid fucking question its so incensed about instead is:
“And what’s your phone number?”OH FFS PEOPLE this is the year 2026 Anno Dominos Pizza, THEY ALREADY HAVE YOUR FUCKING PHONE NUMBER, let it go!! Can we be at least a LITTLE more interesting, just maybe once every fucking Blue Moon already?
Argh.
