One of the last times I did one of those flights I did something that I suspect would appeal to you, oh, I don't know, for some reason...anyway, I watched The Shape of Water. Loved it.

So disheartening the hear of the shenanigans and outright robbery going on with you book. Gonna get me that audio book immediately or as immediately as I can in the US. They're best when you read them, especially if I can hear a supressed giggle.

One need only google bloodcheep to see. And it is no coincidence that the issuance of this fine piece of haberdashery is happening in the month of Halloween.

This would be the person who was Mr Rogers spotter when he has a sniper in the Vietnam War, yes? They got matching tattoos, right?

People can try to resist, but it is futile. I mean look at it. It goes with every thing. And look, mom, it's got umlauts. Multiple ones.

Usually got a half gallon of 2% ready but that's 'cause I'm an every morning large latte guy. Now, if you want to talk about my alleged "oversupply" problem (we both know it's just prudent readiness), it's chicken. Chicken chicken chicken. Name a form of it, I've probably got it.

Haha, I noticed it but figured I was just imagining, so I got out the loupe and confirmed. Amazing.

Snakes of United States and Canada is my fave. If you look closely you'll see that each and every one of those cuties is smiling...maybe it's a secret bonus feature?

I love the expression on Dorothy Barker here. The "well well, what have we here?" face.

Ken Farley @farleykj.bsky.social · 12d

Hey, wait a minute, this is a reverse Tom Sawyer, isn't it? Where you bemoan the hardship but what's actually going on is comfy kitty cuddle hoarding, isn't it? Confess.

Judging from the tone it seems thwarting the precautions can be done with jangling keys or maybe a cup of ice cream, tantalizingly offered at the bottom of said stairs.

"Mom? Why do they make the poles twice as tall as they put the flag? Is it to make it more stable?"

Maybe when the light is red and the crosswalk signal is on you don't race your car thru the very very red light and end up with me on your hood, just barely controlling myself enough not to rip your side mirror off...Grrr.

Every speech brings the coherence and intellegence of David goes to the Dentist.

I, too, always wondered what that lace is there for. Seems like it makes things much more difficult to launder, often is a bit scratchy, too. Like the athletic or jogging types, much smarter and way sexier.

The squid knows the score, and if you listen you can hear it whispering "Play dead, totally immobile, this thing thinks I'm a tree but if I twitch I'm really dead, oh no I feel a sneeze coming on...I wonder what happens if I ink it?"

I hope, like John Harvard's (statue) foot, Mickey's nuts get shiny from the constant kicking and for the youthful, maybe an occasional kneeing, too.

Ken Farley @farleykj.bsky.social · 27d

My favorite (or favourite, if you're doing a delightful accent) salad dressings, lemonade, orange/mango bevs. Heard from people first-hand that both those dudes were nice guys, too.

Until you say differently, I'm just going to assume you're still there, immersed in the burbling.

Ken Farley @farleykj.bsky.social · 29d

And if you are hit and need to get to the hospital for stitches and a checkout, rest assured, the police will phrase every description of the incident in a way that will make you at fault. Even if the car was driven by an unlicensed left turning idiot you almost but did not quite dodge.

So what I'm to understand is that instead of imagining I hear A PASSION FOR PASSION in @alicefraser.bsky.social 's voice, I can buy a recording of her actually reading it with a professional accurate Australian accent rather than the, well, frankly, bad version my brain attempts? Gimme.

A friend's cat would come home at night smelling like perfume, with "steak breath". She was leading a double life, apparently. Are any of your neighbors artisinal toast makers? Heh heh.

You guys, best practice up on the mid-Atlantic accent so you can do some authentic sounding ads for the podcast-sponsoring iron lung companies of the future. And leg braces, gotta get some of that, too.

Yes, and unlike that pesky real estate, which actually has to exist (usually) and have at least some intrinsic value, this new venture, whoo boy, none of those annoying real world valuation problems with them thar tokens, aye.

Any conjectured cause of death should end with the phrase "while sitting on the toilet"
For example:
Struck by lightning...
Tripped and fell...
Mauled by a bear...
Choked eating an eclair..
