Urgh, big ol' chip of my filling broke off during a random bite at dinner. It's looking like a root canal or extraction for me, 'cuz this filling was barely holding things together. Fun.

Best of luck

There's a wasp nest on my porch, but I don't want to kill them or call maintenance. I try to avoid killing The Lord's creatures so I don't think it's right to exterminate them just so I can comfortably sit on my own back porch.

Anyway they are now using the glass door to cool off from the murderous heat. It's a little weird.

Are you vegan?

[JuanHamm]

You're doing the right thing, Burt.

I mostly only eat chickens and seafood these days. But boy do I devour a lot of chickens.

[JuanHamm]

Birds and fish don't have feelings. That's a well known fact.

[E.H. Ruddock]

How can burt eat chickens if birds aren’t real?

I can’t remember, is Mickey gunning for tenure track? Or is he hoping to ascend academia?

[Mickey]

I'm going to get the last tenure track job in America and then transcend it when small press poetry in translation becomes a new growth market

Just go sell ad space for Parabola

I got recruited by McKinsey the other day so that's the current backup plan.

Your gonna get chewed up by the machinery. Break out now!

Yesterday was pretty much perfect - took the boys to the M’s game. Saw a win, great pitching from Robbie Ray, lazer home run by Julio Rodriguez right in front of us in the LF corner, damn near got killed by a foul ball, and saw a streaker (who sadly kept his pants on).

Then watched The Sandlot last night after we got home.

I support the speedo look

[BurtReynolds]

Wait, is it streaking if you keep your pants on? That's just running around where you're not supposed to.
