I am right there with you on the poop thing. Never thought I’d be able to handle it and then it was fine. Super shocking to me too! Couple things though. 1) Get back to us when Jr gets solid food added to his diet. The shit will change. Literally. And 2) it goes away after your kid grows out of that age. I could do it all back in the day but one day when my oldest was about 10 they projectile vomited in my car and when I tried to clean it up I was shocked to learn my iron constitution was no more and it was all I could do not to add to the mess with my own puke. Enjoy that superpower while you got it I guess. It is pretty magical.

Oh, one thing: You describe yourself as a "reactionary" comic.

I think you might have meant "reactive".

This is part of the definition of "reactionary" that does not, in my humble if unsolicited opinion, describe you.

In ideology, reactionism is a tradition in right-wing politics;[1] the reactionary stance opposes policies for the social transformation of society, whereas conservatives seek to preserve the socio-economic structure and order that exists in the present.[2] In popular usage, reactionary refers to a strong traditionalist conservative political perspective of a person opposed to social, political, and economic change.

I am an ex-English major and recently ex-proofreader... to quote Ron White*, there's no cure.

(English majors frequently speak in footnotes and try to be sure to identify their sources, lest they be accused of plaigarism.)

That was great! I’ve been away for a bit and started with this first to catch up what I’ve missed and it sure was a fun half hour.

I asked my dad the mockingbird question once -- he just looked at me and said "only you would wonder about something like that." "I am what I inherited, Daddy." He walked away, shaking his head.

Here's another. I was thinking about Nancy Reagan (don't worry, I stopped) and how that "Say No To..." thing has been applied to so many other things. Do you agree that it is impossible to "Say No to the word 'No'?" Because if you'd said that, you would have already said the word "No" -- twice.

A third thing -- I wonder if man created God. Only something man-made would have made man.

Looking forward to the next round of Answered Questions. I'm still riding the Asheville High from seeing the show. I am so happy that I ignored my jobless state and went to see/hear you guys.

Thanks for the early morning entertainment, Corey! I've seen you guys at the Helium 3 times, and I can visualize the transition from IPA and Camels to fruit and tea. :D

This was fun. I like hearing the good explanation for things. Corey, don't feel you need to sacrifice mental health for anything. As much fun as BCD is, if it places you in a bad space mentally, it's not really worth it (unless you can find a way to easily get out of said bad space afterward, which can be very hard to do).
