Shawshank is on. Have I seen it 25 times? Yes. Will I watch it again? Also yes. Heartbreaking

The 16 yo. had to pay me five bucks because, at the Caps game yesterday, he bet that the autograph he had at home was from Brooks Orpik. I told him it was Jason Arnott. Different number 44. I don't know why he came at me like that, but let that be a lesson, young man. DO NOT FUCK WITH OLD PEOPLE!

I've been telling the people who ask me that I don't think Ovechkin will break Gretzky's record this season, but I will be thrilled to be proven wrong. I promise.

If I told you that my wife has ADD and my 12yo has ADHD, you might assume that the first thing I do upon entering a room is close cabinet doors and various drawers that were left open or ajar. And you'd be right!

When my I.T. guy tells me (excitedly) that he solved a problem using Claude AI, I lose a little respect for him because Back In My Day(TM), it was all docs and Google. Like, we actually had to LEARN something. Does that make me an asshole? #it #sysadmin

Of course it’s that crybaby McDavid. Fuck.

Gonna owe a lot in taxes, so I changed my withholding to take more money out of the ol' paycheck. But then realized that if we don't have a functioning IRS or government, it's far better to owe money than to wait on a check that might never arrive. So I'm going to change it back. Hope HR ain't mad!

Crescent wrapped hot dogs with cheese didn’t turn out as I expected.

Cover me! I’m going in.

Read this somewhere. The "orange doorknob" concept in design. If you're going to submit a design to super picky customer, include something so egregious that they demand it be removed. That gives them the power they crave, but preserves the rest of your design. Give them an orange doorknob.

I’m in Baltimore for a death metal show tonight. Chilling in my hotel room applying the arthritis cream to my knees and ankles, as one does before these types of affairs.

Alan May is the worst. “Time and space”, “Stick to puck”, “Head over knees”. He’s the most colorless color man in the industry. Get well soon, Locker. We need you back! #capitals #nhl

Many coworkers are preparing to do the Hot Ones challenge here at work happy hour today. I will not be participating, but I can't wait to see some of their reactions when they get to numbers 6 and above.

You guys, the moon and Venus appear really close together tonight. Go outside and look up! It’s frickin cool, yo.

The 12yo wanted to watch "Nosferatu" but it's rated R. So I found the Werner Herzog one from 1979 (PG) and he didn't even make it past the creepy violin kid. The number of rats in that movie. Holy shit.

Not even halfway through the grooming services we arranged (and two hours after dropping her off), we get a call that says they cannot even finish drying our dog. Gave her a bath, maybe didn't even rinse her well enough. Still wet. TAKE HER HOME NOW. Because she's "aggressive". Bullshit.

You spend all day making a ton of great food because the football playoffs are on television only to end up with the Chiefs and Eagles winning. Zero return on investment there. Fuck those teams.

Washington hasn’t lost like that since November 5, 2024.

Anyone else rub a little Better than Bouillon on their gums like a rogue cop at a cocaine bust? Just me?

The best hockey team in the NHL has zero representation in the 4 Nations Face-Off. Not a single #washingtoncapitals player on any of the 4 teams. Which means two things: 1. They'll get to rest and heal up while the other "honorees" don't. 2. The 4 Nations Face-Off is a fucking joke.

I got the virus that my older son had. Coughing incessantly, 101 fever, just kinda fucked up in general. I don’t usually get this sick. 🤷‍♂️ Negative Covid test, though. So I got that going for me…

My older son is pretty sick and even though he’s 16 and he thinks he’s a man, it breaks my heart because his spirit is broken.

The 16yo said he was sad that I’m allergic to cats. I’m only slightly allergic, but what really fucks me up is an animal that pisses and shits in the house and then *I* have to clean it up? Only to get brain worms. Fuck that.

The helicopters and fireworks at that golf course are annoying as fuck and driving my dog batty. Add this to the already interminable list of reasons I hate that fat orange fuck

Lol Brian Bosworth is the sheriff in those stupid Dr Pepper commercials. He looks good for his age!

Because the Anaheim Ducks are ranked 27th in the NHL while the Washington Capitals are ranked 2nd today, that can only mean that the Ducks will beat the Caps tonight by one goal. This shit again.

Jesus Christ the Monumental+ app sucks shit. I haven't had buffering issues like this since RealPlayer in the fucking 90s. This app is trash.

The boys know we're having chili dogs for dinner. But they DON'T know that I'm getting Nathan's on the way home. My wife will be mad because of "nitrates" or some bullshit. I don't care. I'm about to blow their minds! p.s. Nathan's Famous are the best hot dogs on Earth.

Because the Montreal Canadiens are ranked 21st in the NHL while the Washington Capitals are ranked 2nd today, that can only mean that the Habs will beat the Caps tonight by one goal. I don't make the rules.

Notre Dame is the school with the worst fans on Earth. When their field goal attempt appeared to flutter wide for a millisecond last night, I was about to dance a little jig in my living room. Good thing that, according to the QB kid with the lisp, Jesus Christ had a plan for their season. STFU plz🙄

Funyuns are a largely underrated snack choice. Delightful.

Jesus I’m fucking sick of the fucking Washington Capitals losing to the worst fucking teams in the whole fucking league.
