Aha

My admin put up a screenshot from The Sixth Sense that says, "I see dead people... and I enter them in CODIS" because I perpetually forget to do so.

The real problems start if you eat meat. Like what am I going to feed the cattle? At least the pigs can eat whatever leftovers have gone off.

I feel this so deeply.

I have to be careful when I use his Home Depot Pro account because it means I'm going to get quizzed on what I used those purchases to fix

we were at the dump this morning, getting rid of brush and stumps. when we were ready to get the largest, heaviest stump out of the bed of the truck, he counted to three, we heaved it out, and he said, "Aw, you didn't say the Danny Glover line! From Lethal Weapon!"

text from rah's father that reads: "if I am starting to recover here already... What color block wall would you want over there to the right of the walkway?"

two more texts from him that read:
"Gray or a tan. de de perfect. I look into close out stuff.. then you can measure the area."
"how far from the splash block for the rainspout to where the brick changes heights."

It is! Taylor and Case’s are the 2 big statewide brands (I prefer Taylor, but I wouldn’t say no to Case’s). Legally, it has to be called “pork roll” because of the way the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 defined “ham,” but it remains Taylor ham in the hearts of those of us who are correct about it.

ETHAN

ETHAN I WALKED OVER TO THE GROCERY STORE AND THE BACK OF THE BOX!!?!

The front of the tailor hand box with a very old-fashioned style packaging it reads the original Taylor, since 1856, pork roll

The back of the box, which reads John Taylor's original Taylor pork roll. Like, what??

Yep! I can get it here in Baltimore at Eddie's, even

amen. green recently-living things shouldn't be anywhere in the vicinity of a proper breakfast sandwich. it's morning, I'm on my way to work, and therefore I want to die from excessive salt and processed meats.

If you're from north New Jersey, it's supposed to be Taylor ham. That's the original brand name for the product

If you're from central/south Jersey, you call it pork roll. (You'd be wrong, but not as wrong as smushing the names together)

If you're not from Jersey, you probably don't really care

The demarcation line is amazingly sharp: www.nj.com/news/2016/06...

The results of our great pork roll vs. Taylor ham battle divide N.J.

We tallied more than 70,000 votes in our quest to definitively examine the breadth and depth of loyalty to the two prevailing terms for our most prized salted pig product.

Would.

Would also regret it and need to have a bottle of Tums at hand, but.

thank you; I sincerely appreciate that. I'm known for my science-to-layperson analogies at work, and I'm admittedly proud of it.

It's okay! He 100% absolutely knows what he's doing with the electrical panel (or remodeling a kitchen, or tiling a bathroom, or woodworking on a lathe). I've got to be better at him at some things so I can return the favor of all the work he's done on our home
