The amount of apathy toward Jimmy cracking corn is too damned high.

In the past two days, "amuse-bouche" has come up in three very different and completely unrelated scenarios. I don't know what the universe is trying to tell me, but I hope it's tasty.

Enjoy this beautiful July day, but be sure and bring your winter coat, balaclava, thermal gloves, wool socks, body warmer pads, and tauntaun to slice open and get inside when the sun dips below the tree line, because this is PNW after all.
There was a day, probably in the very early 2000s, when I used a 3.5” floppy disk to access a file, took the disk out, put it away, and never used a floppy disk again. An era suddenly ended and I didn’t know it. Sorry, yes, I’ll have fries with that.
“Nothing says chronic pain better than deer with shattered chocolate antlers.” - Out-of-context text to my ladyfriend
Bill Evans in the first 45 seconds of All Blues = trillin’ like a villain.
Real talk, though - if I'm out alone at night and somebody I apparently don't know at all whispers "please adore me" near enough for me to hear it, that moon ain't turning to gold.
I think it's time we all reevaluated our beliefs about further ado.
Mitch Mitchell not taking over as The Who's drummer after Keith Moon died is one of the great missed opportunities in rock.
"Move your hips as if you were the reflection of a cloud on the surface of a lake." - yoga instructor this morning
“Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” and “A Clockwork Orange” were the “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” of 1971.
Just FYI, A-ha has put out eleven full-length albums.
“A life filled with <brass section honk>, that’s what I love.” - A Tribe Called Quest
I was today years old when a yoga instructor relieved me of years of feeling inferior by saying that it’s physically impossible to actually get the hips straight during warrior one.
I have been in a serious love affair with sauerkraut lately.
Another one of those weird Seattle days where if you were outside underdressed for too long you’d get a sunburn and hypothermia.
I had a CD back in the day of a jazz singer who wasn’t well known but managed to get Ron Carter in the band. There were reviews of singer in the liner notes to which Carter contributed: “If you can find a better singer, give me a call!” I still think about that from time to time.
I confused Todd Rundgren with Peter Frampton and had to be schooled by a student of a music class I was teaching. Something something beat on, boats against the current.
Traditional masculinity points: Threatening to knock me out: +1 Doing it because your mom told you to: -1
I’m choosing to believe that having moss growing on my car counts as owning a house plant.
I like to think that Xordle clues and respective solutions, taken as a whole, tell a certain story about a particular slice of humanity.
In the fullness of time, all music that is the product of the coordinated, simultaneous efforts of multiple human beings physically interacting with physical instruments for the immediate enjoyment of other humans in their proximity might be considered "classical".
