The worst I ever saw was the Steelers’ bumblebee/old-time-convict mashup throwbacks. Those should have stayed retired.

That’s why only the Bananas should be wearing yellow unis.

One time when I took my cat to the vet (routine checkup), I arrived bleeding because she had Opinions about her carrier. They had to give me first aid before they proceeded with her exam.

Here is some actual pumpernickel.

Red panda blep! This is Gimli, who normally lives at Franklin Park Zoo in Boston but is hanging out at Stone Zoo in Stoneham while his habitat gets upgraded.

Why are all the people around him wearing the same suit and tie? Weird.

We’ve heard this line so many times, and it’s almost always followed not too long thereafter by “a mutually agreed parting of the ways”. The only question is when.

Oof. Pulled out the flannel pajamas last night. And being a soft Southerner by birth, I am not ashamed to admit that I caved and turned on the heat. #newenglandweather #crispy

Uh-huh. This is almost always the prelude to a “(mutually agreed) parting of the ways”.

The sound of my own voice on recordings will always be weird to me: “wait, that’s what people hear when I talk??”

I had one of those moments today where the word I knew I wanted was firmly stuck in my brain while my mouth was insisting on going rogue. My brain wanted "cufflinks" but my mouth wanted "handcuffs". I mean, what ...? #useyourwords #whenEnglishmajorsgobad
