I farted twice and blamed it on the dog both times over one dinner. The second time they took the dog outside - I felt bad. Before you get mad, I was meeting my wife's (then girlfriend) family for the first time, it was a make or break moment

Dan Szymborski

Did you compensate the dog?

When I had to lock Galileo in a room because he kept trying to hang out with the plumber installing a new hot water heater (he was very interested in what the guy was doing), I gave him some smoked turkey

Dan, the law did not allow for high school aged youts to consume alcohol anywhere near the time you were a high school aged yout. Are you admitting to committing crimes?

Sure.

Could I invoke EU citizenship? I have german citizenship through my mom

The story that used to make my grandmother furious

was when my mom's dad and my dad took two of my cousins from Germany out drinking. They were 13 and 15 at the time.

1:20

I was only 8, so too young

1:21

coming back, my dad passed out in the driveway with the car door open, my cousins in the Japanese garden at my grandparents, and my grandfather sitting backwards on one of the kitchen chairs draped over the back of the chair (he was a spry 75 or so at the time)

1:22

Apparently nobody cared about drunk driving in 1985

my grandmother didn't talk to my grandfather for a MONTH and my dad for years.

I guess second cousins since they were my grandmother's nephews

Not for nothing, but if the O's designed their team around baseball memes and jokes that come from an aging gen-xer that might be an improvement!

If you were going to murder someone, why wouldn't you just have ZiPS project where the police would be looking for you so you could stay away from there?

Dan Szymborski

1:23

ZiPS is kinda more focused on projecting baseball things
