Random thoughts from a random guy
"God Rest Ye Gentle Merry Men" scans JUST like "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", so slam on those tights (TIGHT tights!) and spread some chaos this season, eh?

I think I traumatized an inanimate object. I recently went to New Orleans. Half the bottle is still in my car. I went to the car and found it had frozen. FROZEN SWEET TEA. No greater crime can be committed to a Southener.

Robert Burns wrote the poem "Address to the Haggis", which has the line:
"Great Chieftain o’ the Puddin-race!"
fair enough. BUT it was once translated into German and then retranslated to " Mighty Fuhrer of the Sausage People"
And now I have an antagonist for my next DnD campaign.

Tora Tora Tora!
Today is a day that will live in infamy- FDR, Dec 7. 1941.
Not, like every other day since Prince/Bowie/ Lemmy died...

Looks like we may have to update the old saying "The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy."

If an online Rusdian cyber attack takes out our communication system can we just call it " inter-nyet"?
Los Alamos was all out of internet and phone service most of yesterday. The LAB has their own internet/ phone service that I assume is run by the subterranean lizard people so no harm there

Some monkeys from Tulane ( aka New Orleans) University riddled with STIs, covid, and other Fun Stuff got in a crash in Mississippi and escaped. Oh, and they are "Aggressive to Humans". Did someone slip LSD in my coffee? and if they did NOT slip drugs in my coffee, can someone?

CBD is just THC with the fun sucked out of it.

To me the Autumnal Season starts when I add "Expell the nose goblins that crept into my nostrils as if my nose was a cannon firing grapeshot at Gettysburg" to my Morning Routine.
That day was Today.
Happy Fall!

My new hobby is just hitting the X button on every ad i see on The FaceBook. It's like capitalism whack-a-mole.

For decades now we have thought it was a giant asteroid named "Chicxulub" that landed in the Yucatan. In fact it was "ChicShelob", a spider roughly the size of Mount Everest that rampaged across the planet
OK, 6 people will get this, but more will be freaked out by a giant spider. WORTH IT

Is it REALLY gonna be called "The Epstein Ballroom" or is that just a reminder that we have definatly elected a con man, sexual predator and a felon?

One of my friends is a child psychiatrist, and he wants to start a D&D game for some of his patients to help model social skills. It's NOT therapy per se, but rather a chance to have people to socialize, and D&D has a pretty good record of helping that.
I'll be the GM for them. We start Monday.

I HAVE A PREDICTION:
(shakes crystal ball like magic 8 ball)
Now that the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded, and Fearless Leader did not get it, we will drop peace talks in Ukraine and the Middle East like they were on fire.
and yes,I have that much confidence that we elected a petty bitch.

Pre coffee thought:
Used AI for the first time this morning. I googled "How do I turn off AI mode" in Google.
It did not work.

If you could describe your city in 4 words what would they be? If you live in Portland "Emergency Naked Bike Ride" would be a contender methinks.

‘Emergency’ World Naked Bike Ride planned in Portland
The announcement comes in response to Trump's "militarization of our city."

"Right to Know" Norman Rockwell, 1968.

"Do your own research" is a bad faith argument. It presumes that if we disagree on something it is my research that is nonexistant or faulty. I am not required to support your side. It puts the onus and responsibility on the other person, and that's not their job- it's yours.

Anyone else think its time for a re-read (or first read) of "Transmetropolitan"?

So far both Paramount and DIsney have failed in the simple act of defending the first Amendment.
I do not have Paramount, but I just canceled Disney. And I like Star Wars WAAAY more than I like Kimmel.

Charlie Kirk was George Lincon Rockwell with a weaker chin.

Remember folks, it's like the old saying goes... "The Enemy of my Enemy can still be a Rampaging Cockrocket."

There are a lot of great futurists- Issac Asimov, Bucky Fuller, HG Wells... the list goes on. But no one- NO ONE has the kind of psychic foresight as Sir Mix-A-Lot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X53Z....

Hey, Is Antifa still a thing? Were they ever a thing? Cause given my rather obvious political leanings I SHOULD be getting flooded with e-mails, ads, and invites to be paid by Soros to protest. Can any of my lefty friends hook a guy up?

Can we maybe remember that we live in a Digital Realm? Cause one of my pet peeves is I see a cool event coming up and it gives time and place but not the city. No biggie if it's 1997, but it's not. INCLUDE THE CITY. Cranky Old Man Out.
