Just heard an English guy say "fed up to the back teeth" and my brain stun locked for a minute. It's a good sounding phrase but I'm used to being fed up to my eyes/eyebrows or the top of my head. Is it a depth measure from your front teeth over there? Does a stiff upper lip move your molars?

Had this realization again very nearly a year to the day apart. I have suffered at the hands of cracked heels...

Walt @waltimedes.bsky.social · Oct 11

Don't know who else needs to hear this but it's getting to be the time of the year where you should start moisturizing your feet/heels more. Lay the groundwork now.

There's a story that Ian MacKaye responded "what, like Emo Philips?" to being called emo at an Embrace show. I want it to be true. I can hear him saying it.

Baltimore is more of a "sit in your current mental health" town.

There are so many people whose mental health would be helped immensely by living in Philadelphia

Today's highlight: singing along to the entirety of "If I Could Turn Back Time" in the grocery store.

Sometimes I write something like 5 sentences on here explaining a neurotic tendency I have, realize I'd need at least another 8 to explain it satisfactorily, and then delete it. So just know I am being choosy, and that says a lot about the quality of my thoughts.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada. I like you and feel bad that I want your baseball team to lose today.

I've always been kind of embarrassed that I really like the look of Indian motorcycles, but they're about to get sold to private equity so that'll solve itself here shortly.

I have no problem with Canadian Thanksgiving but I couldn't do that on a Monday, man.

I make my triumphant return to The @insertcredit.com Show... as host!? Highlights include actual coin-flipping and bending the show’s format to my evil whims by making the panel design games based on the names of Motern Media films. Listen now:

I'm not sure I understand. Could you maybe get Miyamoto to explain this to me?

Decided to pull up Springsteen's version of Because The Night and man was giving that to Patti Smith the right call. I checked a live version and it was a little better since the tempo was very nearly brisk. Bruce can sure keep a tempo down.

Been in another gaming drought but my copy of Bohemians arrived Saturday, so I'm looking forward to it in a couple weeks when everyone's schedule allows.
