Lydia
Harding’s Pompous Phrases
His [President Warren G. Harding's] speeches left the impression of an army of pompous phrases moving over the landscape in search of an idea; sometimes these meandering words would actually capture a straggling thought and bear it triumphantly as a prisoner in their midst, until it died of servitude and overwork.
— William McAdoo
Brian

In the animated movie Hercules, I wonder why Disney used the Greek name for the ruler of the underworld, Hades, and not his Latin name, Pluto?

Brian

Melissa: Ooo, I know what I'll do for your funeral! I'll release a balloon to represent your soul rising to Heaven, and it'll be teal because that was your favorite color--

Brian: No, don't do that.

Melissa: But as we celebrate your life--

Brian: Celebrate me now, not at my funeral! I want you to be sad when I die; I was a cool guy!

Melissa

Melissa: If I wear that, people will think I'm gay.

Brian: They won't think that with a hunk like me walking beside you!

№ 131 Cereals: Revisited

The first cereals episode is justifiably a classic, but this time we're doing it right. Lots of research went into this one, but don't worry; there are still a lot of incorrect choices.

The girls dressed in princess dresses, sweetly singing happy birthday to me while I lay in bed ❤️

Github Archive Program

On 02/02/2020 GitHub captured a snapshot of every active public repository. Those millions of repos were then archived to hardened film designed to last for 1,000 years, and stored in the GitHub Arctic Code Vault in a decommissioned coal mine deep beneath an Arctic mountain in Svalbard, Norway.

Is that how we want to raise our children? As elephant racists?

Against the Octopus

If every animal is special, and each one has its own, unique intelligence, then why should we be any more enamored of the octopus than, say, the clownfish or the clam?

Brian
№ 123 Pet Names

No, not cute names for each other: the best names to give a pet. Or a working animal. Or a plant. Or anything, really, who knows what will show up on this list.

Brian sang rock-a-bye-baby to Amber in the voice of the Swedish Chef as he swung her around, and she giggled uproariously.

Melissa

Lydia, while you were sleeping we tattooed a wolf on your butt. And if you don't believe me, you can go show your butt to your mother and ask her.

Brian

I never listen to the haters. And it's a good thing, because they're never right.

Brian

Brian brought Penny to sit on our bed, and she just started laughing with delight and shaking from side to side in her happiness at seeing us.
