After 90 minutes sitting on my porch drinking the blackest possible coffee that actually pops buttons on my ratty lounge shirt because of the abundance of new chest pelt it evokes, I’m meeting someone later where I will order a deliciously sweet iced chai. That’s as fancy as I can get, and I will drink it with a little finger extended.

The image of James Dobson pounding himself to death with his own bible is, like, wickedly delicious.

Your SB order sounds amazing, but I don't know if I could ever order.. it's so Midwestern of me not to want to bother the barista with "fancy" drink orders 😂

Long time reader, first time commenter. THANK YOU FOR THE LAUGHS. I needed that. Also Oat Milk (specifically Oatly) is God’s gift to the Ashkenazi GI tract that I’ve been looking for my whole life. Welcome!

Because you linked to "Planet of the Bass" at the end of this post, I am legally obligated to brag that I know Kyle (aka DJ Crazy Times) from college, and he's a good guy, and I'm glad to see he's doing well.

Saw The Chicks Wednesday night in Columbus OH. They rocked! And we all screamed and cried. And my husband cried too. (But he’s not a screamer). But it was his third time seeing them with me. He also rocks.

I'll see you at the Chicks in my trashy and cheap get up drinking a currs light. No coastal cowgirl or big dumb hat over here! https://youtu.be/4bvwKqSNAgk

Love this! And so happy you are going to see the Chicks! I’m taking my girls at the end of the month to see them in KC.

What strikes me is that many people you label "Dingus of the Week" are actually a "Dingus of All Time".

My wife recently attended The Chicks concert in Hershey PA and noted that the women in the crowd fell into two distinct camps: people wearing shirts that said “Goodbye Earl” or some variation and people wearing cowboy boots for the first time and getting blisters. I am wondering if this applies more nationally. Please report back with this important scientific data.

Somebody somewhere must have written the "Devil went down to Georgia looking for some votes to steal" joke about Rudy and the 45 droogs but if not, well, you're welcome.
