I make a point to introduce my daughters to a foundational R&B or dance song from the '90s every week or so, and it was Robin S.'s moment in the hopper a couple weeks ago. "Show Me Love" is just in the air these days.
As a person who has used IVF more than once to try to build my family, I have very complicated feelings about this, most of them very unfunny. (Most of them are just internal howling sounds, actually.) I appreciate you using your skills and platform to tackle this one for the team, Josh! (The team being People with Uteruses, I guess.)
Every IVF procedure will have an additional step of Embryo Baptism: All products of the IVF process, at the discretion of the patient (they might be Baptists, who ironically don’t commonly participate in this,) will be sprinkled with liquid nitrogen blessed by the hospital chaplain, who is also responsible for administration of the rite. Nitrogen will be used for its cryogenic properties, as a reminder of the preferred means of capital punishment in the State, and for the cool cloud effect.
Though I know Gallagher did it 1st, I always think of Letterman throwing a watermelon off his roof when I think of splitting a watermelon.
I had the fortune of seeing Robyn S perform the song “Show Me Love” at a club in SF when it was released. Since then, I’ve learned a session singer named Andrea Martin sang the vocals & neither Robyn S or Andrea have royalties from the song. Beyoncé also “interpolated” it for her “Break My Soul”.
I hope that cardigan delivers on its pressure filled expectations.
your pep talk for embryos is funny and meaningful!
also "In my day mines were for sweeping, not crafting" is very funny!
and "wrote a new joke that seems like it might work (the most exciting kind of joke to tell, even better than the ones that already work)" is very meaningful!

Methuselah’s Goatee was my band’s name in high school

I need to know what was in the Squash Groban.
"...and it’s also increasingly unlikely you’ll be used to create a human being."
Embryos are human beings - that's whole point of the personhood word games you were playing earlier in the paragraph.
dear josh,
your pep talk for embryos is funny and meaningful!
also "In my day mines were for sweeping, not crafting" is very funny!
and "wrote a new joke that seems like it might work (the most exciting kind of joke to tell, even better than the ones that already work)" is very meaningful!
love and thanks for all this!
