Would lag bolts solve the problem?

Dafuq it’s barely August.

A lil’ of column “A” and a lil’ of column “B.”

This gave me pause.

Then what the hell are they famous for?

Missed the bicycle part at first and thought, “_Watching_ sports is not the same as _doing_ sports, yanno.”

Thanks for the reminder, I have some in my freezer!

Today I realized that in a restaurant kitchen, "We may want new ink … " could mean, “Someone check the printer; I can’t read these tickets!” or it could mean, “I’m considering a(nother) new tattoo.”

**S.M.** brought in a bunch of scalloped potatoes. “My mom made these, she said they’re for anyone who would appreciate them,” and you best believe there’s a deli cup with cheesy N.O.T. on my coffee table right now.

Thanks, Boss’s Momma!

Oh, and in gossip-y news … do y’all remember **Gentleman Caller?**  
Nice guy, we had a good thing going, casual fun & nothing more expected, then he got weird and blocked me?

To absolutely nobody’s surprise, guess who unblocked me early this morning?

He groveled very well, with a lengthy and super heartfelt message expressing how sorry he was and how much I mean –

Just kidding.

He sent a “looking eyeballs” emoji.

Like, that was it.

Dude, you gotta up your game, man.

If I was feeling incredibly charitable & was a kindhearted person, I’d guess that he assumes the worst and is trying to suss out my feelings/reactions in the most non-conflict-causing way possible.

Sucks to be him, though, cuz I’m actually a royal-class bitch.
