@Justin_FOX5 I love that Baba O'Riley is blaring in the background too. I haven't been to a Braves game in years, so maybe that's normal, but if not, there's no way that's not intentional, and I'm there for it.

Me: This is set in France, but they all sound British?
Her: It’s on BBC, I mean, PBS.
Me: …The American BBC.

Sophie: How does someone even do this?!
Bonnie: How does someone… WARP?

Bonnie, asking the real questions.

I think the Jurassic Park theme is the most iconic melody line for me in that whenever I hear it (regardless of the instrumentation, tempo, etc.), I not only recognize it within 5-6 notes, but it grabs my attention even if I wasn’t expecting it.

I typed “prone” on my phone just now and got autocorrected to “Prine.” I consider this a personal accomplishment.

I just realized that I went further from my house on foot than I did in my car this week. I also went further on foot in terms of total distance traveled.

If you send me a marketing email without an unsubscribe link, the answer is no. If you send me a marketing email with an unsubscribe link, the answer is still no. The answer is just no, OK?

We’re watching Thor: Ragnarok, and when the Grand Master appears, this is how it went down.

Sophie: HE WAS IN JURASSIC PARK!!!
Me: (proud father noises)

I honestly just want an election Jumbotron with no commentary or interviews on my TV right now.

[J. Tingle @BravoEncore]

Hear ye, hear ye. Here’s to the new year. May she be a damn sight better than the old one.

[J. Tingle @BravoEncore]

This week on vacation, my children experienced TV commercials. They call them “interruptions” which I find absolutely adorable.

[J. Tingle @BravoEncore]

Ladies and gentlemen, I just put on @Smartwool. It’s fall, y’all.

Bonnie’s first soccer “game” (just doing skills) is today. They are about to play a “Sharks and Minnows” variant.

Coach: I’m an alligator and you all are tiny frogs!
Girls: NOOOOO!!!
Coach: Well, what do you want to be?
Bonnie: UNICORNS!!!
Coach: (shrugs) ...OK, you’re unicorns

If you use the word (and I use that term loosely) “synergy” in your marketing email, you’re never hearing back from me.

[J. Tingle @BravoEncore]

Dear every sales/marketing person who ever sent me an email about your product. I am like a heat seeking missile for unsubscribe buttons, and I don’t even know what you were trying to sell me. Give up.

[J. Tingle @BravoEncore]

Wait, when did wrapping paper get a grid on the underside? So, so helpful.

[J. Tingle @BravoEncore]

I’m kind of surprised that software having bugs is news, mostly because I’m not surprised that no matter how big/small your company is, your software still has bugs.

[J. Tingle @BravoEncore]

Kind of surprised how many times in my life I’ve said, “Shoot! Forgot the soy sauce.”

[J. Tingle @BravoEncore]

I decided it was time to show the girls DOOM (1993).

Girls: “What’s that?”
Me: “The chainsaw”
Girls: “CHAINSAW!?!?!”

[J. Tingle @BravoEncore]

I snagged a PS4 Pro on a sweet Prime Day deal, decided I should probably get a game for the girls, so I got LEGO: Jurassic World too.

Well, at least I got my Nintendo Switch back.
