This is the image that inspired Paul McCartney to write “Hey Bulldog” (it was originally going to be “Hey Bullfrog”).

In true Jewish fashion, I couldn’t celebrate a holiday without remembering suffering. In my Hanukkah cookie making, unfortunately a Maccabee lost his life bravely fighting against the Seleucid Empire. Thankfully he did get to enjoy Disney World during his life. #HappyHanukkah

If I ever need a third gig, I think I’ll be a cheerleader at the #WorldDartsChampionship, a sport that definitely needs cheerleaders.

As an encore to the #XPNCountdown I’d be happy to lend WXPN my copy of a record I bought awhile back that’s just a dozen or so covers of “Louie Louie.” Nothing is better than listening to different covers of a song back to back!

The bar I’m at is playing the prequels, at least they’re playing parts with Jar Jar and not space congress. #starwars #jarjarbinks

Listening to the #XPNCountdown as the top songs crept closer is the closest I’ll get to the feeling my mom had in 1978 when she listened to the top 40 countdown. Thankfully I am happy with the top choice, unlike her who reacted to “Shadow Dancing” getting the top spot-her 12 y.o. reaction? “Yuck.”

Would you rather: watch yet another remake of Animal Farm, OR, watch a hastily made 2-minute trailer made by me in high school after my group members bailed on the assignment? #animalfarm

The WXPN 885 cover countdown broadcast is the closest our nation has come to huddling around a radio since “The War of the Worlds” broadcast. #XPNCountdown

So far the worst part of turning 30 is my quarterly life insurance premium going up by 39 cents. Ageism is real!

Pretty shocking how the footage of me from 15 years ago getting drunk for the first time on Burnetts is only now going viral.

TBT to 2013 when I got my wisdom teeth removed, and upon awaking from anesthesia, asked my mom to buy me an eggnog latte which I proceed to spill half of down my shirt since my lips were still numb 😂

Scene: the bar
Normal people: watching one of the multiple professional sports games being broadcast
Me: watching the ESPN documentary about Duke basketball in the early 1990s because I can’t follow actual sports

TBT to thanksgiving circa 2011 when I tried to connect with my grandpa, who was a part time farmer, about the corn industry after watching a documentary about it in school, and he responded by complaining about Obama’s policies for farming.

Theaters showing the wicked marathon are weak. If you’re not showing the trilogy (wicked; wicked for good; wizard of oz) don’t even bother.

Thinking about how “so sick” by Ne-Yo probably confuses the youngsters given the first verse being about changing the shared answering machine message.

The bar is playing “She Wolf” by Shakira and remembering how it was inexplicably the most played song on my family’s iTunes (I’m an only child).

Ended up in University City for the first time in years and reminiscing to when I first moved there in 2017 when there were 3 Starbucks on 34th Street. Now there is only one. Textbook example of survival of the fittest: capitalism edition.
