If Trump thinks we'll stop protesting when Golden Girls hits Hulu next month, he...would see 🎵 the biggest gift 🎵 would be from me—dammit!

@thetrumankc @corywong Great show! My first in years. Your encore solo was fabulous and the highpoint for me.

Would love a rundown of your tour rig—saw your Two Rock cab with some mystery units on top. Couldn’t see your board but heard some rotary, some big crunch, reverb—not the typical Wong sounds.

@JamesBestIV Did…a robot write this?

[S. David Grover @davegroooover]

@JesseThorn Is this “Listen to rap, all you music nerds” or “Listen to rap music, all you nerds” or “Listen to what rap music nerds have to say, all you other people”?

I’ll just assume all three.

@shandyist Spicy chicken caesar, though

Encounters with animals today:

1. Saw a hawk catch a starling in my backyard and fly off with starling pals in hot pursuit.

2. Met a dog named Grover.

3. Saw a prairie kingsnake on the trail.

4. Listened to a mockingbird do impressions of cardinals, chickadees, and R2D2.

5yo: Truth or dare?

7yo: Truth!

5yo: 🤖 Truth not available 🤖

7yo: Well, dare?

5yo: Sit there for 10 hours!

Lunch at the Botanical Garden

9yo: Truth of dare?

Mom: Truth.

9yo: Is it true that you love birds more than squirrels but that you love flying squirrels more than birds?

Mom: 🤔 True

[S. David Grover @davegroooover]

7yo: Good dare or bad dare?

Mom: Good dare.

7yo: I dare you to go smell those flowers!

@LifeOnaPlate Thought: An 11-letter, closed compound word with 3 Es spelled out in feet-high small caps on a movie screen can be difficult to read, so bumping the third E to a full cap is a typographic courtesy.

Follow-up thought: Technically, “never-ending” should be a hyphenated adjective.

7yo: Batman tricked Riddler with a Riddle and Two-Face with a bunch of coins. He used their own things against them. 🧑‍🎓

Me: That’s...I...I never noticed that before!

Family Movie Night:

BATMAN FOREVER (1995)

Chosen by Charles, age 7

[S. David Grover @davegroooover]

Bruce, telling Dick he’s quitting: “From this day forward, Batman is no more.”

9yo: How is he quitting? The movie is literally called “Batman Forever”!

@inthebackeddy Chris Gaines is wearing so much makeup in that pic!

Got the J&J vaccine today, so I guess that’s it?
