Revisiting this restaurant in OGDEN, UTAH because I learned "Ombu" means "Free Food Poisoning" in Japanese. Probably.

I bet the buffet line is a slow-moving conveyer belt, the food starting out as sushi & cooking into #Cajun food the longer it takes, before ending up in a gumbo pot.

I am embarrassed to admit how long I stared at this flag from my walk yesterday trying to figure out what country it's from. #NFL #Patriots

Songs I sing to the dogs on our walks:

• “What are we Snifferating?”
• “5 Bags of Poop on a 2 Dog Walk (That Math Ain’t Mathing)”
• “Cooper is a Hedonist”
• “Please Don’t Drag Me Into Traffic”
• “Snow Snax!!”

How I haven’t been arrested yet for public stupidity I don’t know.

None of these halftime shows are my kind of music and as an older white man you know what?!

That’s totally fine, not everything is for me. I’m glad the fans of it are getting to enjoy what they love.

We drove down to Provo, #Utah on Saturday and it got quite atmospheric. #mountains #photography

What could possibly go wrong with a sushi and Cajun buffet in OREM, UTAH!

For our non-American friends, Orem, Utah is very, very far from oceans containing seafood, and from Cajuns.

I feel sure, though, that making it a buffet can only increase both the health and quality of the offerings.

Proposal: The name for a group of people in a virtual meeting should be a "Mute". It sounds like Moot, which is already cool, & it references the fact that telling people they're muted is the single most common phrase heard in these meetings.

I eagerly await approval from bsky.app/profile/merr....

#Merriam-Webster should make “You're sharing the wrong screen” and “You’re muted” as their Phrases of the year.

Here's your answer to "what if Elon Musk, Obadiah Stain, and Justin Hammer were the same person?"
Enjoy!

I removed “illustrator” from my profile description today. It’s time to face facts, I just don’t draw any more like I used to.

The seasons of our lives change and at some point we have to accept the pain of letting go of something you once loved.

#Utah does outdoor recreation right. Very interesting plan!
This western state just unveiled plans for a 3,100-mile bicycle interstate system
Utah plans to build a paved bike path within one mile of 95% of the state's residents.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Which instrument do you most identify with in “Take Five” by The Dave Brubeck Quartet?

Narcissists will claim the oboe but we all know the good people are the piano, unheralded but foundational. #jazz #music #fascistssuck

Having previously retrieved the Stickiest Stick That Ever Sticked, Finn manifested a Very Large Tennis Ball on our walk which also — and I cannot stress this enough — squeaks Very Much when squozed. #dogs #pets
