Some rando. I shall occasionally be reposting my old crap from the other place. If that's gauche, sue me. I only have so many thoughts.

Childhood memories that seemed normal at the time but now... WTF? If you were a kid in the 70s or 80s, did your school cafeteria melt Red Hots cinnamon candies into your applesauce?

Billy. You're 70. Accept it. Lean into it. This is... uncomfortable.

I did! Plus a few other essentials. Sears just knows how to dress me.

Happy Boxing Day Tippi! I hope you got everything you circled in the Sears Wish Book. :)

Hey Salty! I hope Santa brought you your dream present this year.

Merry Christmas you happy bastards!

Christmas eve. We had tea and what-not, watched The Snowman, watched The Wrong Trousers, talked about the unreasonably warm humid weather and the fog. It's what you do.

First time in decades we haven't done a 6' real tree. My wife's handiwork. My 21 year old daughter made the string of stars from post-it notes.

Chlora: "chlora isn't a common English word but relates to the Greek root chloros, meaning "pale green" or "greenish-yellow,"

Septic: "means related to infection/bacteria causing decay (putrefaction), often implying pus or infection"

They named their product Greenish-Yellow Infection

What's happening to the country? It's getting to the point where a man can't even pay his attorney fees with hickory nuts anymore.

The 1960s TV comedy My Mother the Car is considered one of the worst and most ill-conceived shows ever committed to the small screen: A man's mother dies and is reincarnated as his car. But some very smart, funny people created this show and it's interesting to read what they were trying to do.

I'd feel too cute. Like Dennis the Menace.

You reach a certain age and all your junk mail is pictures of meat and invitations to be pestered while you're trying to enjoy a free meal.

Best TV couple?

Dick Van Dyke is 100 today! I don't know why this makes me so happy. By all accounts, a very nice man.

Me too. Looks even more insane. And it has Steven Lang, the only thing I liked about Avatar.

@kellycarlin.bsky.social Just dropping you a note to tell you about a British series you would probably like if you haven't seen it already. It's called Mum. I recall you liked The Detectorists and it's similar gentle British humor and character studies.

We should rename Chuck Schumer's Democrats The Washington Generals. They are paid to lose. I can't get that lyric out of my head from Crosby, Stills & Nash's Southern Cross, "And we never failed to fail; it was the easiest thing to do."

Thinking of updating my profile pic. I bought this fake pirate beard for Halloween but, damn, it's really working for me.

I might try it myself. Maybe Alain Delon? I think I'm a close match. It's uncanny.
November 3, 2025 at 12:46 AM
Amen!

OMG. This is actually a thing.

I read a NASA space screwdriver costs $35K and I just made one for, I'm guessing, 85 cents.

Our little flower witch is graduating from college this spring. Time flies.
