If you put some glitter in the wood chipper with his corpse it would look like red sparkles when it comes out the other side. I don’t think the body alone would do it.

I once sent my buddy in Ontario a Christmas card stuffed to the gills with the finest glitter in Michael's. He opened it in his car. Pretty sure he will never forgive me for that one.

Next time you go down on your partner look up at them and say, "Mmmm, nature's candy". You'll thank me later.

Glitter - the herpes of the craft world. It just never really goes away.

Every Christmas decoration my wife owns is coated in glitter. Basically, it takes a full year to get all the glitter off the home surfaces, and then it's December again and the cycle of evil starts again.

Glitter really never goes away, it is a significant contributor to the global microplastic crisis

I remember removing glitter from carpet using sticky packing tape. I couldn't shake a parallel idea like I was Brazilian waxing the carpet or something.

I love a world where parmesan and pecorino cheese exists side-by-side.

I use both to make carbonara, even though most recipes call for only pecorino. It's a match made in bastardizing-recipe heaven.

Are you referring to the balls we hang on our tree?

I’ve never sucked on one; how do they taste?

Depends on how recently their last shower was. Fresher is better!

I know things loosen up as you age but I wouldn’t go hanging them on a tree. Seems pretty uncomfortable and a little showy, tbh.

Happy Earth, Wind & Fire day to those who celebrate.

Edit: am I off by a full month because I live in an authoritarian hellscape and time no longer has any meaning? You know it babe

I think a CVK license plate is cooler than a CVC license plate for a Civic.

For all you guys with younger kids now, savour it. Spend more time with them, say "yes" every time they ask to play. The cliche that "they grow so fast" is the truest cliche there is IMO.
I miss taking my kids places hand in hand, reading stories in bed, making up BS facts and winking at my wife so she doesn’t contradict me, wrestling in the family room, and endless questions about all sort of things. However, they’re now great adults and friends. The relationship changes but it’s still great. We’re as close now as ever.
