I used to be over 350 lbs. with long, thin, greasy hair and a very pale complexion. My nose isn't long, but it's a bit pointy. Probably had dark eye sockets if I'm being honest about my health at the time. Anyway, my friend's brother stood in front of me when we were sitting around drunk, and said "No offense, but you look like the Penguin (from Batman) right now." Then went on to try to make that sound less offensive by suggesting it was just the lighting or the angle or something. But I knew what he was talking about. He was absolutely right. I never felt worse about myself.

Thankfully I lost all that weight over a decade ago. Shaved my head, got healthier, grew a beard, and had what my wife calls a tremendous glow-up. But I used to be the Penguin... So you should watch out.

My daughter's pre-school just sent out a message this week that the kids are preparing for a Christmas concert. It asked parents to help them practice the lyrics in the meantime and then provided a copy of that atrocity. There's like five other popular Christmas songs I can think of off the top of my head that are religiously neutral, but we couldn't do Up On the Housetop, could we?

There really is no escaping her.

Good & Plenty and Mike and Ikes.

This is me any time my wife comes home and asks if I want to just order pizza.

I moved to Alberta like eight years ago and I'm still appalled at what passes for good pizza in this province. Someone told me it's Greek influence, which explains why so many donair places are hailed for having the "best pizza in town". To the average Albertan, it's not good pizza unless the crust is five inches thick and incredibly dried-up.

Every stupid phrase that redditors compulsively say on every thread.

I hear the charity tax myth all the time and I don't understand why everyone just believes it.

The entire app is a slow and clunky mess on our Roku TV. I've never seen a more poorly optimized and irritating service. Every time we're subjected to it I'm dumbfounded that Disney would even greenlight such a thing.

I don't know that I've ever tried any truly tasty mac & cheese that wasn't KD. Various restaurants and everyone's aunt makes this shitty "gourmet" stuff that tastes like cold, soggy noodles and congealed white gravy. People talk about their aunt's congealed gravy as though it's a succulent delicacy, but it's always as terrible as the last batch and is easily upstaged by KD.

Wow! That's like a sixth of two billion!

Fuck. I was hoping for Delicate Steve.

I only enjoy multi-player with my wife. Our Valheim settlement and world progression is something beautiful to behold. Even vanilla WoW for me is solo or bust. I just don't like people or Discord culture.
