Dad wore this shirt around for a day before someone broke it to him that it was sheer and his man nipples were showing.
Now it’s mine.
Dave says I need a baseball hat so I can be the shiney shirt bar asshole. I say I need to be pushing 40 so I can hit on 18 year olds and be all creepy about it.

I mentioned my swollen hands at Dad’s staff/retirement party while I was eating dinner with some of his co-workers (my highschool teachers). Greg Kurolok said as soon as I described it to him “you should have told him to roll it up and smoke it, cause it looks like Marijuana except with one leaf.”
“that’s exactly the stuff, what is it?”
“it’s called Fireweed, and it’s nasty stuff.”
Around the time we were talking about it, the pain in my hands had switched gears and no longer did it feel like wasp bites but more like that blistered “burnt my fingers on a hot stove” feeling. so i completely understand the name.
There’s more of it out back, I think I’ll let it grow out, the flowers are really pretty from what I see online.
I did some reading and It looks more like Hemp nettle. I’ll take a picture in a bit and update this post.

Scott: what kinda plant is that?
Dean: I don’t know, looks kinda like stinging nettle but it’s way too tall (2 meters).
I Grab it, fearing nothing, as years of living on our farm has desensitized me to nettle. I yank it out from behind my rose bush.
Dean:Ow… it totally is. Ow… Oh my hands ooooow.
5 minutes later and it feels like wasp bites on my hands.

So I was in the city a little while ago and I was walking out of one of the obnoxious box stores of south Edmonton (Empty handed as usual cause I never give those big boxstore places my hard-earned cash, but it’s fun to look.) When I noticed on the automatic door “CAUTION! Automatic door!”
Why does it warn you that it’s an automatic door? Isn’t a door that doesn’t get out of your way when you get near it a lot more of a hazard? CAUTION MANUAL DOOR!
I postulated that perhaps it was for people who were walking the wrong way through it (ie. they’re coming in through the out door.) and those unfortunate souls might find an unhappy surprise being on the side of the door without the photo electric sensor dealie. Makes sense right? automatic door opens in your face, you’d have to be cautious of that. or Automatic door doesn’t open cause you approached it from an incompatible angle and you run into it when you expect it to magically slide away, Caution! But no. The warning was on the wrong side of the door if that was the case.
So, the best I can come up is that the warning is for people with heart conditions who may be startled by a magical door?
Anyone have a rational explanation?
Caution Logic!
Caution! Dean!
Scott: Everything I touch turns to Heavy Metal. Watch. this tree? YOU’RE METAL! This lightpole? METAL! This bench…… ooooooooh METAL!
Dean: wow
Scott: Hey lighpost, I’ve got some friends i’d like you to meet, you’ll get along great with them they’re totally metal. Lightpost, Bench. Bench, lightpost. Tree, lightpost. Lightpost, Tree. see I knew you guys would get along. Ever think about starting a band? yeah? Well you should hear Lightpost sing. Rock on.
Dean: Scott, that’s Gold. Gold!
Scott: No you’re thinking of King Midas.

It has come to my attention that Laura Bush killed her boyfriend.
