I used a mug with a butt at work today.

This is my new favorite "odd mug in the coffee cabinet at work." It's a mummy...with a butt.

I finally found a shiraz I like and it's the wine I bought on a whim when I was out riding my bike in downtown Austin...because Juggalos go "whoop whoop." I am a sophisticated adult. The bumps on the Pease Park trail add terroir or provenance or whatever.

These could be more dressed.

I prefer my all dressed chips to have a bright crimson glow of deliciousness that permeates every surface of my fingers. I want to shed all-dressed dust everywhere I walk for the rest of the day like I'm Pig-Pen from Peanuts. Cover me in tangy all-dressed filth.

a) The chicken deserves better than to have this goofery named after him.
b) They named their kid...a Nissan?! Poor kid.

Send that website's owner packing, too, please.

I remain disappointed that West Lake Hills didn't go **full** HOA on Musk's antisocial compound.
