I’m glad I decided to keep my old phone. Otherwise I would’ve lost recent photo gems like this:
A convenient store display of Pringles “beer can chicken” flavor, the chip cans feature an upright, roasted chicken with a can of Miller Lite in the background.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, hope your plates are yummy and your pets are getting treats.
From top left clockwise: asparagus casserole, ham, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes and peas “nested,” chicken and dressing with giblet gravy and cranberry sauce, and rolls in the center. My sister-in-law’s dog Gus looking askance at my Mom only because she’s new to him.

I hate this Administration, I can’t even wear this cute long sleeve shirt I got two years ago because of the implications:
A navy blue T-shirt depicting Charlie Brown with the little Christmas tree from “A Charlie Brown Christmas” next to the word ICE! in a light blue ice cube shaped font and “Gaylord Palms” in smaller text underneath. The shirt was promo for an ice sculpture event at the resort hotel in Orlando, Florida.

More regional than “hometown.” Ro-Tel chicken spaghetti is tasty but come on, you have to admit:
A plate of Ro-Tel chicken spaghetti, which you have to admit would still qualify as “slop.“

I zeroed out my Starbucks reward stars today and deleted my account. Local coffee tastes better anyway.
A screenshot from Starbucks, depicting a green checkmark and the text “you’re all done! We will review your request and will let you know once it is complete.” The delete my account submission form for Starbucks. Under the question “please share why you were deleting your account” there is a drop-down choice of “I prefer to pay directly with cash, credit card, etc.” Then it says “Not one of the above? Explain below” and I typed in all-caps “LET THEM UNIONIZE!” Then there’s the “I’m not a robot” checked off.

It’s the bells!
A passage from “The Bells,” by Edgar Allen Poe: Leaping higher, higher, higher, With a desperate desire, And a resolute endeavor Now—now to sit or never, By the side of the pale-faced moon. Oh, the bells, bells, bells! What a tale their terror tells Of Despair! How they clang, and clash, and roar! What a horror they outpour

I've never felt more patriotic and ready to dump tea in a harbor than when Paul introduced the gentrified abomination he called a s'more:
Two digestives sandwiching a chocolate ganache and marshmallow filling. NOT a fucking s'more but a pretentious interpretation of one.

Eleven years ago, a poster at @redcuprebellion.bsky.social designed this for me; I printed it out and took it to College Gameday (the Katy Perry one). I want to give it to that guy, but I can't remember his name:
A woman in a blue and white striped sweater holding a large sign that says "Guardians of the Grove," featuring Rocket Raccoon and Groot from the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. In the corner is a picture of Harvey Updike, the Alabama fan who poisoned the trees at Toomers Corner at Auburn University, and an arrow pointing at him that says "WE HAVE OUR EYES ON YOU!"

Confirmation, just for you (SPOILERS for everyone else):
Text from Fannie Flagg’s ‘Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe’ p. 367: “Later that afternoon, when Grady and the two detectives from Georgia were questioning his daddy about the missing white man, Artis had nearly fainted when one of them came over and looked right in the pot. He was sure the man had seen Frank Bennett’s arm bobbing up and down among the boiling hogs. But evidently, he hadn’t, because two days later, the fat Georgia man told Big George that it was the best barbecue he had ever eaten, and asked him what his secret was. Big George smiled and said, “Thank you, suh, I’d hafto say the secrets in the sauce.“

While I believe I may have got the wrong coffee mug, I am still very happy with my graphic novel copy of @goodomenshq.bsky.social (project operated entirely by the Terry Pratchett estate).

Here’s my cat Nadja in a Taco Bell bag. I think this Halloween she’ll be a tacocat, which works backwards and forwards.
