  8. A tumbler full of ice. A splash of Amaretto. A splash of 99 Butterscotch. A splash-ish of Jamesons Irish Whiskey, topped with a splash of Irish cream. Lidded, shaken like a toddler, and then served. Mmmm. Mix what you love with what you fear. The Irish Mudslide into Quicksand. LOL. #GenX #LotsOfQuicksand #SoMuchQuicksand

  10. Humans: “Dogs make great companions.”

    Dogs: “Excellent. We’ll become a weighted blanket with elbows.”

    One is stretched across the bed like he pays the mortgage. The other has claimed the remaining square inch just to make sure there’s no accidental comfort left. Then people ask why I’m awake at 2 a.m. It’s not insomnia. It’s a full-contact canine sleep arrangement.

  12. Four Words That Still Explain Life
    What’s a song lyric that has stuck with you forever? Some people have a deep, life-changing lyric that makes them reflect on the meaning of existence. Mine? “I wanna be sedated.” Forty-plus years later and the Ramones still nailed it in four words better than half the self-help industry eve

  16. #KEXP played this blast from the past today and I really don't think I’ve heard this song in over 40 years. I completely forgot about it.

    There's a good chance you don't remember it at all

    It’s a little cringe, but so were the 80s

  22. Some poor soul is parting with their 1997 Princess Diana Beanie Baby

    At one point, these were being listed for thousands of dollars. Now, they're only $20-$40

    Like the chocolate bar "Not for girls"

    I'd bet a dollar a substantial plurality, if not an actual majority, of mastodon readers have, in fact, done all 20.

  28. Were you alive when Windows 95 was new? Remember Microsoft Comic Chat? I loved it. They open sourced it on July 16th! Thanks, @shanselman & crew! I *had* to modernize the app but keep the classic feel. No IRC, but E2E encrypted chats with others (invite even more to view your live comic chat). Taking feedback, but I'll dodge Comic Sans complaints:
