(61 posts)Things like "full credit to Mrs. Spouse for the idea for today's post." He would also playfully ignore her when she pleaded for him to use the Secretary of "War" hitting himself in the cajónes with a skateboard GIF less often.

To know that the brilliant Jeff Tiedrich has to suffer this loss at such a horrible time
Would that he might see our condolences and love and for him; hes been a cathartic, comforting, consistent, droll, faithful friend to me, one who keeps me sane. Im sure the same is felt by millions. Im so sorry Jeff. You are SUCH A BEACON OF HOPE IN A WEARY WORLD
