Supporting a fun book that reminds me someone needs to reprint How to be a Superhero from 1990. You don't need me to tell you Daniel Kibblesmith is hilarious. But thanks @chroniclebooks.bsky.social for amplifying it.

The waiter puts this glass down. My wife blinks and says, “I know those are words, but what do they mean?” I don’t know. It’s a glass of Coke Zero and the restaurant is called Manzu.

My adventures today include drinking a spicy watermelon margarita bigger than my wife’s head. Mistakes may have been made.
