The Fishstick: Damselesque and Sween Edition
This is the full version of our contribution to TJ’s Fish Schtick project.
I still don’t understand the Fishstick, but I have been told I do it very well.
Nerds.

“Fish Schtick”
On May 21, 2008, the You Look Nice Today crew released their 8th episode, Sacks-Minnelli Disease. During the first 15 minutes or so of that episode, they discussed dance moves, including their own prototype (at that point) dance called “The Fishstick.”
On May 25, 2008, the man known only as lonelysandwich released his Fishstick video, and the world was forever changed.

Whimsy
They stood under the street lamp, breath curling in the November air. He took a deep breath and asked if she wanted to come back to his place for cofffee. She looked away. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see her gloved hand tugging at a tassel on her sleeve. Finally, she turned back to him and said, “I’m sorry, John. You’re very nice and all, but you have no…...

17 cents
The woman ahead of us in line stopped the cashier and told her she made a mistake. The chocolate bars she was buying were two for a dollar, but one of them came up as 67 cents. It was different than the others, but she said it was from the same display and it should be 50 cents. She said this over and over as the line grew behind her. The cashier tried to scan it again and it came up as 67 cents...

I opened my shed yesterday to get the lawnmower and there it was: my bicycle.
There’s so much I’d need to do to get it ready to ride. I’d have to squeeze it into the car and take it to the shop. I’d have to buy new tires. Everything would need to be oiled. Rust would need to be scraped off. New brakes. I’d definitely need a new helmet, because there is no way I...
You Should Be Getting Me a Drink Now: Itchy feet →
Over the last year or two, I have been telling Jason we should sell our house. We have a fairly big home on a really big property. Just to put it in perspective, we have eaten on our backyard deck three or four times in over six years. The deck has now begin to rot. We never garden and rarely mow the lawn. I guess we’re the “our property is the eyesore of the street” neighbors.
We have now both...

Brain Imps
What I wrote about the finals of Canada Writes:
Just before the show, my wife hugged me and said, “Don’t screw it up.”
“Ha-ha! Thanks, honey!”
“No. Really. Don’t screw it up.”
After the Schrödinger incident, I could see why she was worried. I was terrified.
Why?
Because I have brain imps.
What are brain imps?
Brain imps are the monsters that...
Thumbs on Dogs
Putting thumbs on dogs should have involved an Eastern European castle. There should have been lightning. Hunchbacks should have hovered in the background. Tesla coils should have crackled and sparked. It should have been in black and white.
Putting thumbs on dogs should have involved underground bunkers. There should have been men in horn-rimmed glasses and military police. There should have...
Happy Birthday, Mary!

No Schrödinger.
But is anything possibly… Schrödingeresque?
Well, you’ll just have to wait and see…
[Strokes beard thoughtfully.]
Wait. When did I grow a beard?
