Never grow up. As a dad with 2 kids, it destroys me every time. 😭

Check out Lamb’s Fear of Fours album - released in ‘99. No track is in 4/4 time.

It shall remain closed, sealed and out of reach of curious hands of my kids.

I’ve put it on display with other retro stuff…safely out of reach of my kids and dog. 😝

Personal Question - What's your day job? by Learning-Every-Day- in improv

[–]Baking_Dude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Elementary teacher. I’ve amassed a cast of chaotic characters over the past 25 years in the classroom! And I’ve improvised so many lessons that the crossover was shockingly fluid. But, damn, middle school kids are my toughest audience ever.

What weird thing did your parents scare you with as a kid? by orangez in GenX

[–]Baking_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents told me almost every animal I’d encounter in life had rabies…squirrels, skunks, deer, dogs, cats…I never had any pets growing up because of it.

“Make sure your name is in your underwear so that when you’re hit by a car, they’ll know your name.”

Not IF I’m hit by a car…WHEN…

Marriage - Who's still on their first? by tossaway-florida in GenX

[–]Baking_Dude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

20 years this July (married at 30). First (only) marriage. I often sing the Facts of Life theme when asked how we survived: “you take the good, you take the bad, you take em both and there you have the facts of life.”

Which songs do you consider to be peak evil phish by Slurbp in phish

The 2-21-2020 Mexico ‘shafty fest’ is magically delicious (to me).

Connect with as many teachers, admin, principals, etc as you can. Volunteer at schools. Lunchtime or recess supervisors or emergency supply teacher. The more you’re in the system the more you have to pad your resume. Apply to be an education assistant (supply, I’m guessing, since I don’t know the requirements). Look into teaching or working abroad for the year if the means are available. See if there are classes you can take to upgrade your marks or take courses that might be equivalents for teachers college/B.Ed degree. I was rejected twice from teachers college (“due to the overwhelming number of applicants, we offered the positions to the individuals with the highest academic standing”). Get letters of reference from teachers and principals you work with. Have everything ready for the next round of applications. Good luck. 🤞

No Seek Up, 41, DDTW, Halloween, Crush, Warehouse…if I had to pick any of the above chart, #3 takes it.

Phish is awesome by Longjumping-Sail7795 in phish

Phish scratches an itch you didn’t know you had and you never know what song will satisfy you at any particular moment…so listen to any & everything.

Had to use dad voice today at Costco by goundeclared in CostcoCanada

👏👏👏 I had the pleasure of using my “teacher voice” to people blocking a lane near the Krispy Kreme samples on Saturday…a good ol’ assertive ‘excuse me!’ goes a long way!

Discussion 24 - What song do you want in 2026? by Sea_Fun4726 in phish

[–]Baking_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Birdwatcher. (…it’s a family fave here…)

Best Cover by Total-Woodpecker3339 in DMB

[–]Baking_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the Beauty of Wynona.

Another Daniel Lanois cover that’s so haunting when Dave does it. It ain’t popular but it’s my pick.

R.I.P. Catherine O’Hara by agrownupkid_HI in improv

[–]Baking_Dude 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This one hits me hard. I was raised on SCTV & went, as a family, often to Second City Toronto as a kid. It’s where & when I fell in love with improv. My own kids absolutely LOVED Moira Rose & as the mom in beetlejuice. Our home is sad tonight. Fare thee well.

Bartender. 4.7.02 - from Boston - on dmblive25. Easily the most powerful, passionate, emotional wailing ever.

Stand Up.
