The only King I recognize in the US is Kong.

I wanted to do a lot of theatre this year, but it turned out that theatre didn’t want a lot of me, so I’m just going to play Blue Prince and brood all by myself.

Reply with an image from your comfort movie.

Last night, my eldest graduated. She’s been in choir all throughout school, & she was chosen to sing during the ceremony. The song is Vienna by Billy Joel. Gotta admit, had a real hard time holding it together. Lots of teary eyes during the song, so I wasn’t the only one. youtu.be/JnueyzT4RVA?...

Without downloading any new pictures, what is your mental state?

Eldest Daughter has Joe Hendry’s theme song stuck in her head thanks to TikTok and is annoyed by it. HER: I don’t believe in Joe Hendry! ME: Blasphemy! Randy Orton believes in Joe Hendry! HER: Randy Orton hears voices in his head! ME: AND THEY TELL HIM TO BELIEVE IN JOE HENDRY!!!

I would listen to a podcast where Mick Foley and Jackie Chan just sit down and compare injuries.

The fundemental flaw of Cinderella's story: if the Fairy Godmother's magic wears off at midnight, why don't the glass slippers disappear along with everything else? Plot point or no, that's pretty sloppy storytelling....

DAUGHTER: (upon seeing an advertisement for chocolate liqueur) That might be the only alcohol I ever drink. Because it’s chocolate. WIFE: I think you would like margaritas. ME: Why are you giving her suggestions? SHE’S THIRTEEN!

Dreams are pointless for everyone except Freddy Krueger and Hastur.

My dwarven paladin, Drothgar Kettlebrew, would highly approve of the resolution of Thunderbolts*. Good flick.

Andor has me paranoid. Last night, my wife’s snoring sounded like Saw Gererra’s wheezing. I got worried that I can’t seem too disloyal or useless or she might off me as an example to the rest of my family. I didn’t get much sleep.

I made a homebrew version of Blood on the Clocktower called Broadway on the Clocktower because all the people I play #BotC with are huge theatre nerds. All character powers are based on Musical characters. First test play was last Friday and went pretty well. More testing needed.

How I arrived on Bluesky

I have undergone a transformation. Nobody Wants the Thimble was a blog that isn’t really updated anymore, so that name must be put to pasture. Long live Internet Recluse, Old Man Creaux!

In honor of today, I’m going to Irish up my Shamrock Shake for lunch. (By which I mean I’m going to add potatoes and boiled cabbage.)

A couple falls in love when he accidentally butchers her beloved family cow. It’s “Meat Cute”, this fall on Fox!

@drsquatchsoapco.bsky.social has a series of Star Wars soaps, scrubs, and deodorant. The Darth Vader scrub is scented with chokeberry and it uses sand as the exfoliation agent. 10/10, no notes.

Just once, I’d like to wake up well rested, not in pain, feeling good, and not having complete disdain for myself and the world around me. One day is all I ask.

I woke up this morning with “Hot To Go” stuck in my head. What even is my life right now?

When I go off to work, all I think about is how much I’d rather be doing creative things. But whenever I have a day off, all I do is scroll social media and play video games. Why am I like that?

Looking at Easter candy with my wife. She picked up a package. HER: Why is this chocolate so expensive? ME: Because they’ve chocolate eggs.

I finally cut my tether to the old place. I hate leaving behind so many great interactions, but, well, *gestures wildly*….

How I’m entering 2025:

Tonight my 17 year old made the same Who parody “No one knows what it’s like to be the Batman.” joke that I made several years ago and I’ve never been more happy.

The person who made the Spotify ad for the new Bob Dylan movie has got to be the laziest ad person ever. VO: He defied everyone…. GUY: TURN THAT DOWN! BOB: Play it loud! VO: …to change everything. My eyes rolled so hard, they nearly popped out of my head.

Got this from a customer yesterday. HIM: “Have you ever had an Izze before?” ME: “I have not.” HIM: “It’s gonna blow your mind, man!” My dude. It’s just fruit juice.
