“This is not a love letter to the Internet. The Internet is a tool.
This is a love letter to the people who have learned to use that tool.
You have made my life so wonderfully full that I’m fit to burst.”

Never knew who the people were who bought DVDs at the grocery store. Then today came, we found Ladyhawke and we became those people.

Never Forget →
September 26th will now always be the day we found out that Jon Wurster lost that awesome salmon pink shirt. We must never forget the shirt or where we were on this day.

The Last Time
The last time I spoke to my father was just over a year ago on a Sunday afternoon. When I called him after the Jets beat the Patriots (by the score he had predicted) we did not know that it would be the last time we’d speak but I couldn’t have hoped for a better last conversation. After discussing the game we ended on this note:
“It’s too bad you’re not here dad,...

The best thing about this is that it gives us the opportunity to see the only SNL appearance by The Replacements, including the drunken but wonderful rendition of Kiss Me on the Bus that has been out of circulation since it’s original broadcast.
I Can See How This Looked Worse Than It Was
For a brief time my father lived in a very small house, across the street from my elementary school. The house was barely visible through the trees from the asphalt of the playground but from the top of the slide I could see the his roof.

My father would be flattered. When this show happens I’ll be sure to include this story.

From The Onion AV Club’s review of $#*! My Dad Says:
I have always believed that “Shit My Dad Says” is more fiction than reality so I’ve never been a fan of it. That said I felt there was a chance, however slim, to make a halfway decent show out of it.

People You May Know
Last week my first girlfriend showed up in my “People You May Know” section on Facebook. She and I had all of the firsts that come along with being young and in love including first bitter breakup which happened 16 years ago.
We swore we’d still remain friends, and we did…at least in the sense that we’d periodically get back together if we suspected the other was...
