"production issues imply that we have production value, which we do not." πŸ˜† Oh, how I appreciate people who get self-deprecating humor.

Well in my case I can’t take much credit as there is much to deprecate about πŸ˜‰

My wife and I occasionally accuse each other of yelling even though no voices were raised. Fortunately, this has yet to escalate to anyone being hit with a dictionary (or any other heavy objects).

Give it time Lee, give it time.

The irony of being knocked wordless by a dictionary. Did the injury keep Karl from having to change the duvet cover?

Hahaha.

Nothing keeps certain husbands from duvet duty. Instead of β€œtill death do us part” it should be β€œtill duvet do us part.”

I read the Onion book this spring and it made me SO hopeful for comedy, satire, printed work, zines, and just really smart, inventive people smoshing their mojos together (in a totally consensus way). I was also delighted to discover The Onion is a true Midwest joint! I always thought it was a San Francisco thing. Eat it, West Coast! πŸ₯Έ

I felt the same way! And of course the guy I know, who was super influential at the beginning, was not the one to tell me. Because he’s midwestern.

Somebody else was like, β€œhey, you know that guy started the Onion?” I was like whaaaat?

That is bonkers!! I can’t wait to hear more…

He was one of the founders and the president at one point. We’ve played golf together occasionally and one day someone told me about it while we were playing together. I was totally geeked out and he was very non plussed. Super nice guy.

Karl’s is the meat shop down the road. Daily Brat Fry’s in the summer!

Bonnie is a friend and subscriber.

They were the most Wisconsin-y names that popped into my head.
