The local indie theatre did a Sinners and Blade double feature and it was the best way to spend 5 hours.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is finally sharing the experience of being 6'8 and constantly confused.

You just kind of exist for people to walk up to and go "Big guy! Ever done anything big?"and then you end up playing defense in a pickup game you've never played before.

Signed my son up for nerf night at the library next week and he's been taking it frighteningly seriously.

A flu is tearing through my house and I'm now existing on a horrifying cocktail of Benadryl and Olympic curling.

It's not like I'll ever need that 1/3 of the chest freezer I plan to gave up for cans of concentrate.

I'm seeing them later that week.

No low rise jeans but the Stealth soundtrack was stuck in my buddys stereo for most all of high school so we listened to Over My Head an unreasonable amount of times.

My sons best friend told him that because he now has a karate black belt he can beat any untrained grown man and would like to schedule mutual combat with me.

I am an actual giant and it will take all of my kindness not to throw this kid onto the roof of my garage when he visits this weekend.

Teaching a children's poetry class today and getting absolutely bodied as my son hits me with his magnum opus "I'd rather be playing Roblox than whatever this was, please don't change my password".

"Nonviolence demands more than outrage; it demands action."

They've decided it's too cold to bother chasing anyone and agreed to just sit in the sun ignoring the others existence.

Took the afternoon off to take my son and his pal to see the SpongeBob movie and they are making the case that their mothers wouldn't mind if we also saw Silent Hill and it's actually the responsible choice due to the snowstorm outside.

They're probably 1 solid argument away from pulling this off.

We have a goalie fight!

someone turned my post about Gnosticism into a meme and there are comments like “ugh this will draw more attention to Gnosticism” and like why are you gatekeeping knowledge of the malevolent demiurge? it feels like if that’s what’s going on then it’s something we should probably be telling people

It must be illegal to have a guy who can get actual God Almighty to pull strings for your team.

My family tricked me into thinking that helmets were mandatory for everyone at the taboggan hill and not just the children.

They were instantly proven right when on the first trip down the 100-foot hill I dodged every safety measure, hit the wall and stared at the sky wondering when I'd meet god.

Set a goal this year to only buy books through the local used book stores and it's mostly just meant wandering into the stores and buying escalatingly strange paperbacks about barbarians punching wizards.

Grandpa's Pawn and Gun with a sign that says Forced Out of Busines After 30 Years (Because of Colorado Politics)

excerpt from an article: A Superior man has been convicted of securities fraud after convincing the owner of Grandpa’s Pawn & Gun in Longmont to invest $250,000 in a series of books described by one juror in the case as a “Western-themed version of ’50 Shades of Grey'” for outdoorsmen. Bret Gardner, 47, was convicted of securities fraud — untrue statement or omission by a Boulder County jury following a five-day trial last week. Gardner is due to be sentenced Oct. 4. The securities fraud charge is a Class 3 felony and could carry a prison sentence of four to 12 years. According to an arrest affidavit, Rod Brandenburg, the owner of Grandpa’s Pawn & Gun, came to the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office in 2013 to report Gardner. Brandenburg said Gardner approached him at this store in March 2012 about investing in a series of books based around a character called the “Scoundrel” written by an Oregon ghostwriter named Brad Haga. A packet promoting the book said the series centered around Thomas Edward “T.E.” Scoundrel, who “mixes it up with the greatest saints and the sinners of the day,” while he also “romances some of the most beautiful women of the age, including a Charleston ingenue, a silent film actress, Chicago’s only female meat packing tycoon and a Native American princess.”

I promise you, you'll never guess which "politics" they're referring to

Took down all of the holiday decorations but now the dog can see out the front window again to address his many local enemies.

Learned today my 3 year old neice I only see during the holidays is pretty sure I'm Santa.

She called me to demand she be returned to the nice list and convince her mom that her hair actually looks better after she cut it herself.

Almost got obliterated by a child riding a bicycle as I walked home today, but joke's on him I'm basically a sturdy fridge cosplaying a middle-aged man.

Instead we just had a weird awkward staredown over which of us was supposed to fall over. (It was me, I will definitely feel this in the morning)

Have the day off and made the critical mistake of thinking Costco won't be busy on a Friday after lunch.

Turns out old ladies are absolutely ready to throw hands over people taking too long picking socks.

Yep, he's a Welsh Springer

The cold tearing through my kids school is giving all of them really distinct black rings around their eyes.

It looks like the entire 5th grade decided to have a brawl instead of their spelling test.

We attempted to take our first good winter walk photo.

The best part of joining a 30+ mens basketball league is how the weekly games slowly go from 5 on 5 to 3 on 3 as the weekly knee explosions take their toll.

Have the house to myself for the day which should mean trying to be productive. It actually means taking apart a typewriter I found to either finally fix it or just break it slightly more.
