Late to the party but very glad that this veered into Huey Lewis territory. If this is it, please let me know.

gotta get a longboard + calcium + stretching. i've never had a skateboard. with longboard: fell once. forehead bounced off cement. no pain. this is the first winter my push-leg healed from pain completely. i dunno why. maybe eating more garlic to combat the pandemic.

For the record, the whole KISS standing for Knights in Satan's Service doesn't seem to be true (after a quick Google). Looks like they were throwing around the name LIPS for the band and then landed on the name KISS instead.

So much about normal people and at the same time there is nothing more normal and generic than adding a BEARDED title to the nickname. BEARDED DAD would be only more cliché.
