In college, we frequented China Star Super Buffet. Behind the checkout counter was a delivery map with a dot where the restaurant was located.
I asked the kid behind the counter “Why isn’t it a star for China Star?”
He responded, “Because the marker was round.”

My family is politically aligned. The only time I had to bite my lip was when everyone started fawning over Stranger Things.
This shit is not worth tearing my family apart.

Honeydew should be cantaloupe colored and cantaloupe should be honeydew colored. It’s like an Iceland/Greenland thing.

10: My bus driver has a teardrop tattoo.
Me: Cool. 🤷
10, whispers: It means she killed someone.
Me: Why don’t you ask her about it?
10: I CAN’T! She’ll think I’ll tell the cops!

Applying for a job and the possible date ranges for entering work experience are absolutely insane.

My wife had a double mastectomy on Friday for breast cancer. Pathology came back yesterday and said the cancer was localized only to the excited tissue and that she doesn’t need any further treatment.
What’s the highlight of your week so far?

Trying to explain the premise of MASH to my 10 year old. “But actually it’s funny” falls flat when you say it’s a show about people dying in the jungle during the Vietnam War.

Hey everyone:
I am still looking for a product manager/business analyst role. I’d love remote, but if I’m in the office, I live in St. Louis.
My wife is having a double mastectomy on Friday to (hopefully) remove all of her breast cancer.

My kid absolutely roasted me when I showed her this picture of vegetables from our garden that I took.
“Cool pic. You gonna post that on Getty Images?”
Absolutely brutal own.

We went to Frazer’s in Benton Park on Friday and I have been upset ever since. I’ve never been to a place that was so perfectly atop a bell curve my entire life. It can be described as mid in a way that it creates a recursive definition.

Chris Kerber is a vast improvement over John Kelly. It’s not even close.
Also, he looks like Captain Underpants. (complimentary)

Last week we had our roof replaced. Just went out to the garden to pick some peppers and saw this nail sticking out. Had to have been a 20ft fall and then his the pepper at the exact angle and speed. Wild

I received the absolutely wildest text at 4:59 this morning. “Happy 15th birthday, love mom” to a wrong number is both funny and depressing.

Just had a basic first screening with a recruiter over the phone.
I spent 15 minutes talking about how I’ve been in IT for 15 years.
The guy then asks, “What would you say is your proficiency with computers? Microsoft Office, etc?”
The dumbest people are responsible for my financial wellbeing.

I drove the carpool for my 12 yo and her classmates at 6:30 this morning. Dead silent the entire way, then shuffle on the stereo blares Conga by Gloria Estefan.
Absolutely no reaction by these children. Just stone silence to the most danceable song in existence.
Preteens are wild at sunrise.

My knowledge of specific Cardinals players pretty much ends with when I discovered beer.
My dad has a bat from one of those Benes guys because he pooped at their house when he was a home inspector.

Here’s a question: who is the artist with politics you disagree strongly with, whose politics *do* (in your view) influence their art, that you still think is talented and whose work you enjoy?
