I read all the redwalls way back when & I don't remember songs, but that probably goes to show the sparsity of my memories more than anything else

I never read KKC but my across the street neighbor loved it

fructidor always seemed to me a good name for a month

"Oh, you want to know how to add 3 to 5? Are you familiar with Frobenius' theorem for first-order homogeneous linear partial differential equations?"

Math Wikipedia was written by aliens in order to humiliate us humans

Ordinarily I would chalk my inability to understand up to the many ordinary sorts of stupidity that can found prowling round my cortical columns

But in fact the issue persists even among folks I know know far more than I

Oh no, I could have driven to pick it up, I just didn't want to...

(The hairy aphids were back this morning, many on the dewy windshield of said cerulean, & let God punish the act but I did feel it necessary to sweep them aside with a flick of the wiper stalk, lest I be unable to see out the front)

And I discovered that in an act of magnificently malicious munificence tailor made to make everyone involved in the straw wars angry, the chicken sandwich seller had opted to include *both* a paper *&* a plastic straw with my drink

Speaking of such, a funny thing happened to me yesterday:

See, it happened that I excercised my right to fund the delivery of a chicken sandwich & a coke to my house

(Let the microblogs weep at the act! Let them cry crocodile tears for the sake of my finances! I did it all the same!)

You can't trust those dictionotomizers, they have a very limiting view of which words one can put where

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · Sep 3

Farbeit from me to dunk on the dictionary on a lazy Wednesday

(I hear that's what they want you to do — they're at a low ebb these days)

But this is all wrong & their social media guy needs to go to a re-education camp to learn how to caveat their claims

Here's an unaccompanied lop in Milton:

they should have just gone all in & done a three part, 9 hour, bizarre & goofy hobbit musical trilogy instead of what they did do, which was also bizarre & goofy but mostly just mediocre

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 1d

it was for sure a tolkein thing but i can't say i saw it anywhere else

i kinda liked it in tolkein though he's allowed to do it. they sang some songs in the hobbit movies & those were otherwise terrible but the songs were fun

look closely

Someone's in the chatbox mourning,
Your you're of yore you knoOoOw,
Someone's sending prompts this morning,
For you your you're to show!

I've been working in the you're mines,
So you are I may say,
I've been working in the you're mines,
Just to take are's a away!
Can't you see the space a-sliding,
Out between the words?
Don't you love apostraphizing,
The syllables you slur?

🎶🎵

I'm sure they'll change it eventually, they did fix one of the other three lights which used to have a similar problem

If it wasn't for the tendency of my fellow drivers to rush headlong through the first few seconds of the reds the traffic would actually never clear

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 1d

Okay but the intersection on the way in to my work really did have its timings set by a truly mendacious civil servant

Screw the yellows, we need longer greens

They last like 5 literal actual no shit I counted them seconds & one regularly misses a whole light cycle for the sake of one left turner

One can only apologize for the behavior of the locals

As is no doubt in abundant evidence, they know not what they say...

I appreciate your informative posts here

I sorta feel bad at the prospect of perpetrating some huge massacre against them but I really do need to get this stickkum off of the car

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 1d

I think the aphids must be associated with this sticky sap that is falling on said econobox

I also noticed what looked like spider silk being laid lengthwise along the roof & I wonder if there is some relationship there

Really, I just need to drive it through a car wash tunnel

They asked her, "what common fruit contains dead wasps?"

I heard that she said "pear"

But I know it was fig meant

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 1d

Damn it, a name collision!

No wonder they call it the hardest problem in computer science...
