Age yourself with gaming
A set of original lawn darts, which is a long-since banned lawn game of sharp, heavy darts you would throw across the yard aiming for a circled ring.

Tis the season indeed!

My buddy just introduced Over The Garden Wall to his new sweetheart, to which I said:
From a text to my buddy, it reads: That’s a great Boyfriend Material test! Like, if he isn’t reflexively singing ‘Potatoes & Molasses’ within a week, he ain’t boyfriend material. But sure seems like he will be.

Does anyone else still randomly sing Potatoes & Molasses?

Just me?

Chicago Gays, we’re looking at a warmer & wetter winter.

How will this affect Cuffing Season?
NOAA’s newly-released map of seasonal weather for Nov 2025 through Jan 2026, which shows much warmer weather for about 3/4 of the lower US, including the entirety of Illinois. It also shows that roughly the top left quarter of the country will be wetter than usual.

The most prominent poster for MTV’s 1990’s Rock The Vote campaign, which features hand-painted text that reads “Censorship is Unamerican” above and below a painted graphic of a man’s mouth being covered by the long arm of Uncle Sam.

I have so many questions.
A rainbow Pride flag that has added the phrase “Don’t tread on me” along with the coiled snake image, which is hung below the windows of an apartment above a garage.

Do I love Bragg’s Liquid Aminos so much I ordered a gallon size so I wouldn’t run out for a while?

Yes. Yes I do.
I seemingly gigantic one-gallon jug of Bragg’s Liquid Aminos, next to a kitchen soap dispenser to give the gallon jug scale.

IDGAF what anyone says:

Reddit is often the best place on the internet
A pic of Jared Leto in his black & red costume from Tron: Aries, with a joke headline “Fist Look At Morbius’ battle suit in Avengers: Doomsday” Below are two comments. Comment 1 is very earnest: people won't know about the Tron trailer and will take this seriously which is why its bothering me. funny meme, still smells more like misinformation Comment 2 is a joke about Morbius with crazy spelling: Mismorbofo? When op infomorbed us with pertinent spmorbiolers? I disagrorb

The Four Bs:

Beaches, BBQs, Bellies, Buddies
At a beach gathering, underneath trees, my friend in the background is grilling. I am laying on my back on a thick furniture blanket, with one dog (Ferdinand, a light tan chihuahua whippet mix) under my arm, and my other dog Sylvie (black & white chihuahua) sitting on my chest, looking direct into the camera, with an excited look on her face.

The ‘ice bin full’ sensor was stuck locked up.

I have SO MUCH to do today.

Yet, I have no ice for my ice coffee.

I quit.

#GayProblems
My freezer’s ice maker, showing the bin is empty because the “ice bin is full” sensor arm locked in the upward position, meaning the ice maker stopped making ice.

(not a July 4 redux, just crazy thunderstorms)
My little dogs Ferdie & Sylvie in the bathroom, huddled under a pile of blankets & cushions I’ve laid out for all three of us. I hang out with them to calm Sylvie’s nerves during loud sound events

And yes, I also Gay Gasp every time I see her entrance & this orange dress 😍

2/2
From the dinner scene, Marilyn Monroe & Jane Russell enter the grand dining hall of the cruise ship. They’re stopped at the top of a grand staircase, pausing in order to truly make an entrance. Closer on Marilyn & Jane, as they walk toward their table, turning every head in the room. Standing at their dinner table, with the framing giving a better look at their exquisite styling.
