  • @thelumineers blasted the evening to smithereens last night in Denver. Listen, I've seen a lot of shows in my day. I imagine no concert will ever top Pearl Jam/Bad Religion/Otis Rush at Soldier Field on the Vitalogy tour, widely acclaimed as the best show they've ever played. HOWEVER, our home towners crushed my expectations (even after months and months of not being able to get their newest album out of my tiny brain). Just...blown away. This puppy slots into my top 5 concerts of all time. See them if you can. That's an order. Do it. Please and thank you. #denvermusic #denver #lumineers #stunningshow #5280 #ilikemusicalalmostasmuchasairbutairisveryimportantsoithinkimightlikeairalittlebitmorebecausebreathingfeelsgoodforhumanpeople #ToddandLibbyarefancyVIPs #iateahotdogattheconcertandiapologizetonoone
  • You know how teachers structure weeks for their students? Optimize time and what not? Well, our week was structured by Bezelbub himself, that great butthole mole that lives in the center of the earth. I think that's where Hell is. Tuesday Lynn got hit -- while parked -- by a methed out freak, slamming into the side of our Escape at full speed. The woman fled the scene on foot, a stolen BMW basically wed for eternity to our car. Lynn is just fine, thank god. But the Escape? It's going to the sweet parking lot in the sky, which I presume to be somewhere above the clouds. And today the wee pooch sliced her paw on something, transmogrifying into the space creature you see in the attached portrait. And literally -- LITERALLY -- as I told Lynn I was going to post this she was stung by a wasp, whose ass sword I removed from the softest spot on Lynnie's neck. This is either the highest comedy I can think of or we've purged every square inch of bad karma from our collective souls in 72 hours. Except for Yuki. She might still have a little evil in her... #carsinheaven #dogsinspace #buttswordsinneck
  • Looking for an intermediary to Donald Trump. Any confederates of our Dear Leader out there? I built this wall to Make Garden Great Again. It was really easy. Just, like, cement and wood and what not. If anyone can help, send me Donnie's digis because I totes think I can head up the border wall with my homegrown skills and American grit. No goddamn illegal alien spaceship time traveling America haters getting in this garden, dawg! MAKE GARDEN GREAT AGAIN!!!
