The living embodiment of Cabot Sharp Cheddar and a mid-shelf Malbec. Lacks sophistication; adequate.

Name a villain you sympathize with.

I'm already a bit of grump. If I had to share a neighborhood with Filburt and Heffer, I could see myself going full Ed Bighead.
The character Ed Bighead from Rocko's Modern Life. He is basically an anthropomorphized frog who walks on two legs, dresses like a human, and has human arms. His head is...big. He is shown wearing brown pants with suspenders, a white shirt, and a black bowtie. He is entering a house from the front door with an angry look on his face.

Quote with a 10/10 album.

Or 4.

These are all top-to-bottom listens for me.

Didn't want to over-rep Toad, but New Constellation (2013) would be on this list as well.

Last night visiting fam in MA. Looking forward to reuniting with Choop, but sad to be leaving tomorrow. 😢

1. Sis on a day trip to Newburyport
2. Exterior decor at sis' house
3 & 4. Made pizza tonight for sis/BIL/nephs. This is my love language.

An unsolicited Flick pic
The character Flick, as portrayed by Scott Schwartz in A Christmas Story. He is a pre-teen boy in a pre-war American winter attire, including a blue fleece-lined jacket, a plaid scarf, and a leather winter cap. He is shown from the side, crying with his tongue frozen stuck to a metal pole outdoors in winter weather (snow is visible on the ground).

Skanking / trombone / drums
Screenshot of an ESPN Monday Night Football interview, with Andy Reid, Travis Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes seated left to right. Reid is wearing a light gray suit, light-colored dress shirt, and red tie that makes him look like he's sitting in an unpleasant deposition. Kelce is wearing a relaxed short-sleeved button-up shirt with a whimsical pattern and a brown newsboy cap that makes him look like he's in organized crime. Mahomes is in a pink dress shirt, slightly darker pink tie, and dark-pink-and-white checkered vest that makes him look like a dandy.

Yes, I dunked. A bit of a hat on a hat, but delicious. 😋

I have, however, concluded that more research is required.
A large red mug filled to the brim with a chai latte. Milk foam is visible on top with ground cinnamon sprinkled over. The mug is on a small white plate. Also on the plate are two Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies, which are chai latte flavored.

An opportunity for a return to form for Wes Anderson, perhaps?

I still love his aesthetic, but it's been a while since he's told an interesting story.
The Is This A Pigeon meme. The character is titled "WES ANDERSON", the butterfly is titled "QUIRKY CHARACTERS TALKING FAST" and the question at the bottom is "IS THIS NARRATIVE?".

if you see this, quote post your cat art! 💙🐈‍⬛
A digital faux painting of a tortie cat, made by photographing the cat, then using the photo as both a canvas and palette, covering most fine detail with brush strokes. It is finished off with a subtle craquelure effect. The cat has typical tortie black and brown coloring and is sitting upright in front of a dark backdrop with her body facing to the viewer's right and her head turned back and looking over her right shoulder into the key light. There is a catch light in her visible eye.

Always fun when Amazon sends you a VERY clearly repackaged item (re-taped box, cables sloppily tossed in, etc...) and tries to pass it off as new.

I added a little art work to the box before sending it back--hopefully that's the last time they try to scam a customer with this particular item.
The corner of a box containing an ASUS monitor. Under the ASUS logo, the following is written in black Sharpie: Repackaged DO NOT SELL AS "NEW"!

You've inherited a movie theater, what's your first double feature?

Welcome to 1981, the age of peak practical effects! Carpenter's The Thing will be headlining week 2, BTW.
A poster for the film An American Werewolf in London. The main characters of Jack and David are rain-soaked in hiking apparel, looking back over their shoulders as they hike in the English countryside at night. A full moon hangs in the upper left corner of the frame. A movie poster for Clash of the Titans (1981). The Kraken is rising from the ocean and approaching Andromeda, who is chained to the rocks on the shore. Meanwhile, Perseus is flying towards with Kraken on Pegasus, holding the head of Medusa.

No cheating. Post the last pic of your pet.

This is my precious Choopie. Her echocardiogram results might indicate that the size and function of her heart are unremarkable, but I respectfully disagree. 😍❤️
A small breed rescue mutt, lying on her back and dozing. She is black with white highlights on her tummy, beak, and paws. She is wearing a pink collar and lying on a maroon blanket on a grey couch with lighter grey corduroy-looking pillows propped up to her right.

Here's the follow up. He's a textbook narcissist, so of course he had to read it as an unjustified personal attack.

LOL at "Centuries-old". Literally 2--barely technically plural. 🤦‍♂️

Someday I hope he can help me understand how M**A is simultaneously always winning and always the victims. 🤷‍♂️
A text conversation: Party One: Centuries-old holiday greetings were never intended to be controversial, especially when directed toward loved ones. Sorry for any offense. I'll be more guarded in the future. Party Two: Don't be dramatic, no one's attacking you personally. It was intended to be [a] humorous, over-the-top way of saying "read the room". Specifically, you can (and should) wish others a happy 4th without espousing American exceptionalism to those who you know don't buy into that.

Ok, maybe I went a little hard in the family chat today, but after yesterday, sorry not sorry.
A group chat with the following text: Party One: Greetings kids... I'm wishing you all a great Independence Day as we ponder this great nation, its founding, and its unique blessings! Love, Dad Party Two: I'm not sure how to respond to that. But I wish you a nice day, Dad (heart emoji) Party Three: lol!! (Three laughing emojis) I love this family. Hope everyone enjoys the day off! Party Four: Borders are made up and nationalism is a narcissistic impulse leveraged by the ruling class to manipulate feeble minds. Enjoy the fireworks!

Here's my pup tax: Choopie as a pup looking extra vicious during a yawn (that's how she got the name Chupacabra) and one of my favs taken when she fell asleep on her back in the middle of chewing on a Nylabone. 😍
A young, small-breed rescue puppy. She has a black coat with white highlights on her tummy. She is laying on her back and yawning, but it looks a bit vicious because of her large canine teeth and pronounced underbite. A small breed rescue puppy. She has a black coat with white highlights on her beak and tummy. She is lying on her back sleeping. Resting on her chest is a blue Nylabone chew toy, which came to rest there as she fell asleep playing with it.

Meta just announced Oakley smart glasses. They start at $399, and they'll be available later this summer.
The character Bubbles from the show Trailer Park Boys as portrayed by actor Mike Smith. He is staring directly at the viewer, mouth slightly opened in a quarter frown. He is visible from the shoulders up, leaning toward the viewer, and is standing in front of a blue/teal tech-styled background and wearing a plaid shirt. His wide eyes accentuated by his coke-bottle style glasses are prominent.

Me: “it was a good death”

The movie:
A still from the movie Beerfest. The character of Landfill (played by Kevin Heffernan) is at the bottom of a clear vat of beer, unable to swim to the top and attempting to avoid drowning by drinking his way out. A vortex is forming, but his efforts are ultimately futile.

As a rule I'm not a fan of doxing, but if this POS isn't the most famous person in the country by this time tomorrow, I'm just going to assume this experiment in democracy is over.
A screenshot from the news footage of an Australian reporter who was shot with a rubber bullet, completely unprovoked, by a member of the LAPD. The screenshot was taken seconds before the shooting and the officer who fired the shot is identified by a large red arrow.

As much as I love my little buddy, I have the self awareness to concede that she's probably best suited to a strange af doodle. 😜
A small breed rescue mutt. She has a black coat with white highlights on the chest and beak and long wispy hair around her ears. She is wearing a pink collar and looking at the viewer with her head slightly tilted to her left.

A rare gem from the comments section.
The title of a video from the CatholicVids YouTube account, which reads, "The Pope broke protocol by instinctively stepping forward to greet Ireland's 84-year-old President" A comment from a YouTube video which reads, "For those confused, the reason this is considered a breach of protocol is that the Pope is technically a bishop, and thus can only move diagonally."
