Just ran over Oh Mommy by Brewer&Shipley.

I can do it solo but another guitar and harmony would make it snap.

Need to update lyrics but I can see it going over well at protest gatherings - while they’re still allowed to exist.

Chatting with my wife’s orthopedic surgeon, I made the observation that orthos have a reputation as the most arrogant and imperious.

He asked if I thought he was arrogant.

Not at all; perhaps the stereotype has changed.

With a side-eye smirk,”It hasn’t.”

After a labyrinthine morning, three heads turned toward my exasperated yell upon seeing the sign on the door, Card Printing Machine Down.

Further rigmarole to replace my cards without a drivers license ensued.

There once was a man from Spokane
Whose limericks would never quite scan
Asked why he did it
He said to his credit
I always try to add as many syllables to the last line as I possibly can

Any headway on finding that box?

Just heard a food show which touches on etiquette. If I ever get a chance to call-in, my question will be “Is it proper to eat the Filthy Rich with the fingers - or should the fingers be eaten separately?”

Prior to any general strike, there are similar actions which can demonstrate the lever of Ordinary People. Ex:

Choose a day. We agree to not conduct any transactions for ten minutes, at noon.
Repeat and lengthen as needed to make the point.

No messy logistics.

Laura Ingraham placed a garden hose through the mail slot of an ex-boyfriend’s house. She bragged about ruining the expensive wooden floors. That’s the Sociopath Zone.

One in twenty-five people is a sociopath. Clearly that is significantly higher amongst politicians and preachers.

@parkermolloy.com Beginning with the United Health incident, it has become more apparent who the villains are.

Democrats should admit they are ensnared by the same Legalized Bribery as Republicans and corporate media. Then demand an end to private funding of political campaigns.

Me being Jiminy Cricket.

Don’t know your composition background, but if you’d like to write a song, try this:

Choose a song to emulate. Note the meter and nuances.
Sub-vocalize it for a bit, losing the melody.
Write phrases to that.

Just a couple of lines.

When dealing with customer service, I increasingly hear the presumptuous closing salutation, “Have a blessed day.”

I’ll often reply, “Oh, I have other plans, I assure you.”

General Strikes and similar actions.

They cannot be stopped without rebellion.

Not courts, not corp media, not speechifying; prudent rebellion.

“We don’t fight fascists because we will win; we fight fascists because they’re fascists.”

Too-late is not far off.

It speaks to the whimsical nature of textual context when the Apologist’s own name doesn’t comport with language standards.

Vodie or Voddie; either way you look at it it’s wrong.

Is it a power thing to continually correct people your whole life?

Drop the D, fool.

Dog videos are more edifying than most of what we get from religions.

If dogs were capable of inventing a theology, their God would have characteristics of Dog.

The Christian God is such a Karen.

Learning a song, I’ll switch up cadence and genre (often bluegrass, surprisingly.)

Just emulated Nina Simone doing Don’t Think Twice. Cool.

Ever hear Austin Lounge Lizards’ BG version of (Pink Floyd) Brain Damaged? Cool.

If I’d been paid for the number of hours I spent repairing our cantilever umbrella, we could’ve bought five.

We’re moving to France. Wife won’t return on a french passeport, but I will - to aid the Resistance.

Look for a Fedora and a pack of Gauloises cigarettes.
