As a participation-trophy owning millenial I will take partial credit for your continued success. Thank you.

I like to stack my participation trophies, and claim two count as a normal one.

We are so thrilled that we are getting a weekly 1900HotDog.com article from Dennard. But are also fearful he might never get any rest ever again…

It's going to be a good time. And don't worry, I'm getting more monastic about actually getting sleep in.

Please take care of yourself. We all need the Dennard magic

First, congrats on the weekly HOT DOG gig! That's awesome. I was just telling Meg O. the only thing I miss about Twitter was easily following the crew there. Guess I better hit up their Patreon.

Second, I've been thinking that exact thought about the Hurricane names. When Raiden and Goro hit Oregon and Maine, respectively, we'll have entered the end times.

"CNN would like to clarify that Hurricane Motaro is *not* just Goro, and is a distinct event you need to batten down the hatches for."

Still waiting for Hurricane Dennard.

Also if “embracing humility” becomes a thing I will just die. It sounds like “embracing your vulnerability” only 1000 times more humblebrag. People will be absolutely insufferable.

We may have just spoke this one into existence.

This (embracing humility) would be best in 4 point Comic Sans font -- maybe the perfect message on a Gucci Bag freebie at the Emmy Awards.

I love your newsreels. Just watched a docu about Freddie Mercury. We need more Zoroastrians singers. 🙏❤️

RE Hurricanes : Now that Calis are calling rainy and windy a hurricane, we could run out of names.

I’m a new genre of pumped.

I'm an old so I'm all about that stretch, pull-on denim. Or chef pants. Black, stretch waist, drawstring, a billion pockets.

Re: Pants. Your boring ass knows a timeless classic when it sees one. The last pants trend I adopted was bootcut jeans. Not flare. Don't you dare. Bootcut. Problem is no one wears boots anymore, so I'm living in yoga pants until they make a comeback.

Thanks, it’s saved me a lot of my natural navel-gazing.

It all makes sense now: yoga pants were a loading screen. A thousand opportunists, waiting for their moment.

With the benefit of hindsight, two things:

1. YEEEEEEEE! Weekly hotdog column!

2. You scored the Diana musical higher than expected.
