- Comment on When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child 1 week ago:
In some ways, yes. At 36, I have a wife and kids whom I love and enjoy. I’m a very lucky man in that respect. During my 20’s and my first (God awful) marriage, I resigned myself to the idea that I would never have a family.
My job is not particularly fulfilling. In fact, when asked in interviews which parts of my career I’ve enjoyed most my answer is, without hesitation, “the jobs I didn’t get paid for.” Volunteering for things that had a meaningful impact on people’s lives has always been very satisfying. Sadly, I haven’t had time to do much of that in recent years. In my experience, there is a lot of truth in the statement, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” I hope to get back to doing more volunteer work when my younger kids are a little bigger.

Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream…
Joseph: “Holy mother of God!!”
Angel: “Yeah, funny you should say that…”

First off, Hank Green, it’s The Muppet Christmas Carol. Second, it is the best film version of A Christmas Carol hands down. I will die on this hill. Finally, we pretty much kicked any scientific accuracy to the curb, starting with pretending that Gonzo is Charles Dickens.

🎶Ooooaaaaaaklhoma, where the ‘roos come hoppin’ down the plain. With poverty, as far as you can see, and casinos on each reserv - a - tion.
Well we know that you’re stuck on that land. And the land that you’re stuck on is bland. And when we saayyyyy, Yeeow! Ayipioeeay! We’re only sayin’ are you sure you’re fine, Oklahoma? You don’t look like you’re OK.🎶

My favorite Tolstoy work is Anna Godzilla. It’s about a giant pre-historic lizard who has an intense affair with an imperial Russian count before completely wiping out Saint Petersburg.

I spent a week “shoot bagging” seed corn when I was a teenager. It’s kind of like putting condoms on corn stalks. It helps prevent this sort of thing.

Nuclear Powered Steam Locomotives
Pros:

Cons:
- Have to replace the fireman with a nuclear engineer.

Pros clearly outweigh the cons. What are we waiting for?

Tarrantula Hawk Wasp: Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair dryer has just been dropped into your bubble bath.
The first time I ever saw one of these it was dragging a paralyzed tarantula back to its nest. That big fucker stopped what it was doing, turned around, and stared at me like it was sizing me up. It then turned back around and continued dragging the tarantula across the ground like, “Oh. It’s just a human. Not an actual threat. No biggie.”
No biggie is right. No way in hell I was getting anywhere close to a 3 inch long wasp.

Reminds me of my neighbors complaining some websites had “liberal views” on vaccines.
I didn’t even bother to ask what that meant because the phrase itself was so stupid. I just knew the explanation was going to be even stupider.
