During the last two weeks of the year, it’s complete chaos. I only had Jingle Jangle for dinner. I drank four beers at lunch. Down is up.

Now that he signed with the Angels, Drew Pomeranz is one team away from being the first guy to play for all five California teams.

Rickey Henderson and Rich Hill are two that came close. Let’s hope Pomeranz pitches well, the Halos stink and the Dodgers grab him for the stretch run.

Man, the week before Christmas is slow no matter if you’re 51 or 11. I woke up this morning and was convinced it was Thursday.

It’s Tuesday.

“California Love” by Dre and Tupac is a classic. No doubt about it.

But describing Watts as “Good Old Watts” is weird and sounds like something the Little Rascals would say.

Or a backhanded compliment the rest of the Rolling Stones would give to their drummer.

Q: Why did Donald Trump bury Ivana on one of his golf courses?

A: So he could still cheat on her.

The cool thing about Thanksgiving week is that it kicks off where we get a bunch of time off from work.

Then MLK weekend hits and nothing until Memorial Day.

We should do something about that.

Robert Plant: communication breakdown! It’s always the same! Having another breakdown, drives me insane!

Verizon help desk: sir, please calm down, take it one step at a time and tell me if your modem is working.

@jessethorn.bsky.social I’m about a third of the way through this week’s DoughBoys and your stories about Bill Withers and Dustin Diamond are amazing.

You’re truly a terrific storyteller.

Any plans for a book about the 25 years of Bullseye with tales like these?

You know what, I wish the World Series was best of nine games this year.

In what might be his last start in his HoF career, Max Scherzer is taking the bump tonight against Shohei Ohtani in Game 7 of the World Series.

I don’t even know what else to say.

AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.

The fast talking star of “Wedding Crashers” is the plain-speaking, no BS, down home mobile providing pitch man?

I have to watch more television and pay better attention to stuff.

I settled in for a night of laughs and fired up what I thought was a “Derry Girls” spinoff called “Welcome to Derry”.

Gang, it’s not.

In the 1960s Marvel introduced a ton of cool villains like Dr. Doom, Magneto and the Green Goblin. They also created one called Paste Pot Pete.

I think about Stan Lee coming up with this name when I’m overwhelmed at work.

Jack Tripper
Jack T. Ripper
Jack the Ripper!

Tip: watch Three’s Company and imagine John Ritter as a time traveling Jack the Ripper murdering roommates and dates offscreen during the 70s/80s in Los Angeles.
