My Chrome browser always wants to populate name fields as John S. Moe. I'm thinking of just adding that initial to my professional identity to make my life easier when I sign up for stuff. My middle initial is E.

Assistance with your welcome mats? A plea for the Replacements to rescue you? A car driven by the Thelp matriarch? The bangin’ new album by Mathe?

Somebody inflated Glen Campbell.

A conversation I remember: ME: If I could sing like you, I would just sing all day long. Just walking around the house, singing constantly. FATHER JOHN MISTY: How do you know I don’t?

Hey man, I’m not looking for trouble.

If you want some more chocolate, John, I can get you some more chocolate.

Please don’t amplify unsubstantiated rumor and conjecture. Don’t spread wild uninformed accusations. Don’t talk about things when you’re in places. Climb inside a wooden box in the basement and stay there. Bring only a small square of chocolate. Don’t eat the chocolate.

You can try all you want but you cannot stop my family from referring to haunted houses as “haunty houses”.

I think a lot of us have favorite Onion stories from way back in the 90s. What’s yours? Mine: www.theonion.com/everythings-...

'Everything's $10,000' Chain Goes Out Of Businesswww.theonion.com WHEELING, WV—Citing "phenomenally poor sales," the retail chain Everything's $10,000 filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Monday. "When we started, we were all really excited about the concept," the chain'...

Seen it. The Billions version is yet more bonkers.

See also “Rounders”. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounder...

Rounders (film) - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org

Season 3, episode 9 of Billions aired on May 20, 2018, which means that there were 6 years, 1 month, and 16 days between then and today when I could have heard John Malkovich’s version of a Russian accent but didn’t. And I can never forgive myself.

Watched a tv show where someone was being evaluated for a Mars mission and they said Wilco was no good after Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. They didn’t get the job. It was for other factors but was satisfying nonetheless because fuck that.

My older brother used to destroy me in Rock Paper Scissors when we were kids. Just win after win. He won like 90-95% of the time. Furious, I accused him of cheating. "How could I cheat?" he asked. "Then how are you winning all the time?" "Because I know you." I miss him.

My work requires me to sometimes watch certain tv shows as preparation for an interview with someone from that show. Gotta watch something tonight. And to think that for years before getting into this line of work, I would just watch tv on my own time. For free. Like a sucker.

What’s your Grumpy Old Person Pointless Habit? Mine: stubbornly refusing to use store terminology when ordering Starbucks. I’ll say “12-ounce” or “16-ounce” instead of Tall or Grande. I am defiant! This habit helps nobody and slows things down for everyone.

Well, this took a turn.

Saw my first cybertruck in the wild. Felt like I was instantly and just for a moment transported to a video game from 1991. I involuntarily laughed.

The main reason to mow your lawn is that you then get to look at your neighbor’s unmowed lawn and shake your head.

kind of a weird ad but it does resonate

“I doesn’t get any better than this.” - massively depressed person

The writer, hard at work, is once again haunted by the What Are You Even Talking About ghost.

The ladies call me "Forbes dot com" because I'm overly complicated, always trying to sell them something, a nightmare to deal with, and generally my content is not worth the effort.

Holy shit Fantasmas on HBO. Julio Torres is such a delightful and important artist.

I bet one of the upsides of dying is you get to read all those nice things people write about you in the second person on social media. You're just kickin' back in the coffin, scrollin', big smile on your dead face.

I found this valuable even though I neither play nor watch nor even keep up on tennis: kottke.org/24/06/a-few-...

Please tell me the most mildly, minimally interesting fact about you. Like just barely interesting. I'll start: The western hemisphere's last remaining manufacturer of barber poles is located less than a mile from my house.

Yesterday I interviewed a guy from Helena and today I interviewed a guy from Missoula. How am I feeling now? Kind of MT.

Happy Father’s Day to the best dad ever in the whole world, whoever that might be.

Called my dad for Father’s Day and he asked for one thing: “Could you please reassemble me from all the ashes you scattered in the ocean decades ago?” No can do, Dad! Classic Dad.

My wife’s out of town for the night and you know what that means! That’s right: tomorrow morning I’ll make enough coffee for two people because I don’t know how to make it for just one person anymore.

If I don't feel sorry for myself, who the hell else is going to do it? Christ it's like I have to do everything around here.
