Should start a Cal Bears line of crayon colors, both current and vintage: "Bird" (for Alaysia "Bird" Styles), "Marshawn," "Anigwe." I'd buy 'em for the grandbears.

Wife got me an air fryer for my birthday. Wasn't really on my wish list, but that's life.

The fresh fry quotient has gone up exponentially in our house. Nobody complains. Also, I think I have perfected the Nashville hot chicken sandwich.

do you put the spices in a brine/buttermilk marinade? or just the flour?

Both. Capsaicin transfers better in oil, but I find that it also is best on the outside of food rather than diffuse through the whole thing. I think it is a better experience to have a crunchy chicken cutlet that is surprisingly spicy at first, but then doesn't punish you as you chew.

There's quietly religious and obnoxiously religious. I try so hard to stay away from the latter, but there are so many of them

Or those giveaway plastic cups for various movies. I don't have fast food as much last 20 years but I don't recall as many of those sets being given away.

Your crayon color

Expand full comment

I'm probably a medium deep golden on my arms. Maybe a little lighter on my legs. Definitely have a farmers tan so probably a light medium golden on my body. Used to have darker arms and legs when I was coaching No 3's teams with all our games in the hot midwestern summers without shade.

Definitely have a farmer's tan. Since I run outside almost every day my arms and legs have more color than my Scandinavian heritage would indicate I should have.

I have a farmer tan. My shoulder is extra light almond, my forearm medium golden.

Light Medium Golden. I would like to get more sun so that I can be Light Medium Almond/Golden instead.

Expand full comment

Very light almond is almost translucent enough

it varies. somewhere between light medium almond, medium golden, light medium golden, and deep almond.

I'm probably closest to "medium golden" :-|

It's between that one and "medium almond"

Either you've turned a surprising shade of orange since I last saw you or I need to calibrate the colors on this monitor.

Expand full comment

Hmm. On my phone, medium golden is a lot brighter, so I'm between medium deep almond and medium almond. On my computer medium golden is much more muted.

lol I opened it on my phone and I'm actually close to medium golden, although I'm a little closer to medium almond. Everything is much less orange than it is on this monitor. I gotta adjust these settings.

EXCUSE ME if i hold my phone up to my skin I am almost exactly medium golden!!!

Oh, Oh, Oh

My wife had the bestest idea: She was casually watching a replay of a World Series game with the Astros, and she said it would be better if they had new announcing where the commentators could point out points of the game where the Astros were likely cheating. Different announcers for different games, all for the other team's home broadcast crew.

I might as well pander and put it here: JT Daniels is transferring from SC to Georgia.

Honestly I can’t blame him. I have to imagine Georgia’s staff have a better plan for their QBs than “try and avoid getting sacked while the pocket collapses on yet another deep throw play.”
