Yes, I am 37 years old, but if you tell me I have to stop wearing my Tom Petty, American Girl tee, I’ll…I’ll…well, I’ll be really sad and cry into my pillow that the world is wasted on the young.

a) I think the t-shirt pic was totally just an excuse to post a picture of your rack to Tumblr.

b) Please do not misconstrue point “A” as a complaint. I see it more as the effect of hanging around too many unsavory Twitter/Tumblr types.

c) Once again I would like to remind the world that it is always the quiet ones you should look out for

d) The Tom Petty song “American Girl” will always make The Wife and I think of the scene from Silence of the Lambs right before the creepy guy(1) kidnaps the girl who ends up at the bottom of the well being told “It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.” (2)

So much so that when this song comes on the radio, The Wife will yell, “DON’T GET IN THE VAN! DO NOT GET IN THE VAN!!!”

(1) I presume that you all know that this is the same actor who now plays Captain Stottlemeyer on Monk.

(2) ERRATA: a previous version said “house” instead of “hose”. We regret the error. Putting lotion on your skin will not get you a house. Unless are really, really good at it.  Thanks to biorhythmist for the correction.
