Going to do the loudest most obnoxious “in my day…” speech while getting my shoes from the attendant so they and the children know it used to cost $12 to bowl 3 games and get shoes instead of this “$75 for 90 minutes” bullshit which is somehow a fuckin deal.

We are taking the kid and his best friend bowling tonight at one of those new fangled bowling alleys that’s also, like, fancy or whatever and my lady friend was like “it’s somehow cheaper than real bowling” and I looked it up and did the math and what the fuck why is bowling so expensive now?

Coworker: “I can’t find you on any social media.”

Me: “uh huh.”

Coworker: “that’s weird.”

Me: “sure.”

Coworker: “it’s like you don’t exist.”

Me: “you got it.”

Coworker: “are you listening to me?”

Me: “I know right?”

Told my friend my theory that golf started as a very queer sport for common people to gather in fancy dress and play a game on military training fields as a fuck you, but was appropriated by the elites and now is what it is. He didn’t buy it. I asked what his putter is called “a cruiser” he said. Hm

Y’know I still haven’t seen it because I’ve heard such mixed reviews but I’ve always been curious

Like most successful comedians he’s got a terrible past with minors.

The first one before they decided he needed to be comic relief as well as a killer he is genuinely scary. I still flash on the scene of him in the boiler room when the kids are leering through the basement window and get chills. But yeah after that it’s like shut up dude we get it.

It’s great how slasher movies try to make you feel empathy for the killer, Jason, Leatherface, Michael Myers, you can feel bad and see how they all ended up that way.

Freddy on the other hand raped and murdered kids, was burned alive by their parents and then gets dream god powers. Fuck that guy.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I just started Peacemaker season 2, and the first episode didn’t really do anything for me, but then Tim Meadows shows up in episode 2 and my god that man is a treasure. Every decision he makes is somehow funny.

I’ve thought about this a lot, and I think my favorite joke from Veep is the following:

Selina: “and what is this? Is this butter?”

Lady with a butter sculpture: “in the shape of the great state of Iowa!”

Richard: “if it melted would it become Texas?”

Heading into work this morning and there were a TON of police blocking the entrances and exits to the mental health ward and given how close it is to Halloween I am just going to ignore this.

My nephew won defensive player of the week for our section here in NY and I’m really happy for him but I still haven’t been able to make myself go see any of the kids play football because I am a baby and watching them get hit will make me so mad.

Rochester is absolutely going to claim this as a hometown victory if the Blue Jays win thanks to Ernie Clement being from Brighton. I’m fine with this. Bring it home, Emoney.

One of our neighbors planted some new trees so my dog and his large friend broke containment to go make sure they were thoroughly sniffed and coated in the proper scent
