  1. I read a sign that says "Honey Crisp Apples" as "Horny Crisp Apples". Ahh Wisconsin, I see a fruit salad in my future.
  2. Today I said the completely relevant-at-the-time phrase "would you like to walk into the non-building."
  3. The heart of Chicago is the river. No-one will tell me what the spleen of Chicago is.
  4. In Chicago. Saw this sign. Really not sure if all 3 of these items are vegetarian. twitter.com/RickPoet/statu…
  5. @perryfarrell You never disappoint Perry...I guess I'll stow my dreams of a private Lollapalooza tomorrow night...for now.
  6. Meant to msg Honey Nut Hole and Oats to see if that was the right cereal. Autocorrect made it Honey Butt Hole and Oats. No reply came.
  7. @perryfarrell Flying to Chicago tomorrow from L.A. with my lovely wife. Should we have dinner?
  8. I'm sorry it took me so long to type this. The new kitten has eaten off my right hand.
  9. @gravytrainLA @eaglerockbrew All sounds yum. Do you have a vegetarian poutine? Menu online somewhere?
  10. An ad for the San Diego Zoo entices with "Save on Pandas"...what they don't tell you is the ongoing exorbitant cost of bamboo to feed them.
  11. Is it kosher to tweet about #torah in the middle of services?
  12. I just sent an email to a Rabbi which included the phrase "We haven't done it on the floor before." It's not at all what you think.
  13. Our three year old on the birds and bees: How did you make me? Did you paint me?
  14. My son's training potty is in the shape of a frog. I'm not sure how this will shape his future perception on the purpose of amphibians.
  15. The LBJ School of Public Affairs printed their commencement program as School of PUBIC Affairs. I'm just glad they're finally being honest.
  16. I'm wondering what all the applications are for our new "thickening" shampoo.
  17. I left my three year old alone in his room with Parliament's Greatest Hits playing - Ask me about excellence in parenting.
  18. It did not take a forensics expert to notice that the omelette at the restaurant looked nothing like the omelette picture on their menu.
  19. I saw a sign which said "Bowl at your own risk." which got me wondering about bowling related fatalities.
  20. A place I know in Pasadena has the best smelling bathrooms. If you have to go and have the time, it's worth the trip.
