The origins of dontbethatguy.com, which led to trippandtyler.com and my life as I know it. I’ve kept this folded in my wallet for about 7 years.

One of the best pranks that’s ever happened to me. I went to stay with a friend in Asheville and he had replaced every photo in his house with pictures of my family.

You can’t see it well, but there’s a baby grand piano in this McDonalds.

Makeup time.

“I” love unnecessary quotations.

This is how us Atlanta folks dress for snow.

I am sick and tired of parking next to bedazzled cars.

    Was the driver wearing something in a leopard print? Probably.

    Wow, that is the most bedazzled car I have ever seen… And is that your kid with the plastic baggies over his shoes? While I appreciate low-budget solutions, get that kid some galoshes already!

    how about a little credit for the others parties involved in the birth of your "career"? (i hope you got the joke just then when i put your career in quotes…). throw a guy a bone t-stanton, or i will tell everyone the inspiration for the "inappropriate balderdash guy"

      My bad man. For all those interested, Kevin Keigley was the other party involved in my "career" launch.

      congrats on a new record Nate! I think that's 18 consecutive posts on this blog that you've gone after the Tyler in the comments. You should be proud.

      (for the record, I'm mostly joking because i assume you guys know each other??? if not, then you might be a jerkface mcgee.)

      • nate

        yes, we do know each other…also- sorry tyler…

      • LaceyKeigley

        jerkface mcgee?

        so you've already met nate?

    These are great. Did you go to Barley's while in Asheville?

      No, jack of the wood. And tupelo honey.__________tyler stantonSent from my new Palm Pilot.

        Tupleo Honeys biscuits > every other edible thing this world has to offer. True Story.

        Love Tupelo Honey. Probably my family's favorite restaurant.

    Makes me feel "better" about putting bread "bags" over our kids' feet. We're in Kentucky and get a little bit more snow than you, but we're just too "cheap" to buy boots for their rapidly growing feet.

    The fact someone took the time to bedazzle that entire car disturbs me.

  • yousaidso

    we have a baby grand at the McD's by my house. It is also a 2-story McD's. So… you know… NBD.

    #6 is hilarious awesome… #5, could have been worse; you could have had "goodies" in quotes and it would have sounded like a double entendre. Not the sort of thing you want to read when you purchase "muffins".

    I should start using baggies… I had my boots on yesterday and still got wet feet.

    Birthday cards from my Grandparents are always riddled with unnecessary quotation marks.
    Happy Birthday to our number 1 "Granddaughter". Is there something someone is not telling me?

    Also, it works better if you double plastic bag the feet. One around the feet before putting them into shoes and another over the shoes. Buying boots is another option.

  • bryanallain

    you don't know how scared i was when i opened this post at the prospect of finding a picture of someone in a 3XL shirt among the offerings. #phew

    • Tyler Stanton

      It's coming…__________tyler stantonSent from my new Palm Pilot.

  • LaceyKeigley

    Oh man.
    I remember that note and that paper.

    I think that was the weekend you guys also insisted that we rank the funniest people in our lives in order of funny from one to five.

    And then you and Nate proceeded to berate one another as to why I chose one of you as being funnier than the other.

    And that might have also been the weekend you bought our seven-year-old daughter a stink-blaster gun that actually shot out seriously bad smells.

  • Bryan

    Jack of the Wood and Tupelo Honey. Can't wait to be back in the South. Loved that "Inappropriate Balderdash Word Choice" was on your Don't be that Guy list.

  • Kyle

    I’ve never thought of you as a “real” dad until I saw you with the fleece vest over the button up shirt with jeans. Classic dad… Minus the makeup… Classic mom.

  • Greggers

    I hate to be "That Yankee", but the sandwich bags go inside the boots, outside the socks.

      Oh my stars. My thoughts exactly. Over the socks, inside the sneakers. Unless, that's actually just Tyler's creative solution to a lack of ice skates.
