Goddamn cardies…

The only time I’ve ever said fuck in front of my mother was when she cut across 3 lanes of traffic to get to the exit, and ended up getting stuck in the zebra divider until there was a big gap in traffic.

When she slammed on the brake and jerked the wheel, upon realizing she wanted to make the exit I just yelled “What that FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?”

Surprisingly even though I was still in high school, she never mentioned it. Either she realized she fucked up and let it slide or she didn’t hear me over the honking of cars, a semi, and the yelling of my dad and sister.

There is a level of professionalism you should have when you work at some places, but personally I think a little crass celebration should definitely be allowed.

That said, whether she knew who he was or not, her actual response wasn’t necessary.

Depending on how familiar I am with the sound tech, I like to vary between the standard “check 1-2, testing testing. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Spinx of black quartz, judge my vow. Richard of York gave battle in vain.” to “this is your mic checker, checking in. It’s a balmy room temperature in here, uhhhhhhhhh…” and then talk like a airline pilot giving the pre-flight speech. Or even start making basically every audible sound I can think of that they might be dealing with while also trying to make the tech laugh because I know he’s usually super serious and doesn’t get anything other than the usual “check one two three” 9/10 times.

Some people should really meet my transporter pattern buffer…

My god, it’s full of stars…

I was today years old when I realized that she was talking to Homer Hickam, and I’ve seen the movie October Sky more times than I can count.

One of my wife’s friends gets really upset when people call it Twitter for some reason. She doesn’t even use it. Just gets irate and reminds everyone the name was changed so if you want people to know what you’re talking about you should call it X.

Strange hill to choose…

I officially have no idea what’s going on…

Am I out of touch?.. No, it’s the young who are wrong!

No, but do the cops have the necessary restraint to not pull the trigger until it clicks?

Meds that I tried didn’t help me. Fuck me I guess 🙃

To be fair I have not tried any new meds in many years, so I’m sure there’s new ones I haven’t tried, but I couldn’t afford the appointments or medications anyway…

Who’s on first?

26+6=1

Aww how nice, those medical personnel are coming to assist the frozen commander.

All they’re missing are some red shirts to guard everything and throw themselves at the big bad!

You heard it right here, folks.

No discussion of any specific country or region, because this is apparently not a place to ask questions.

started making it

Absolutely can’t relate.

An off-brand oreo called Kaleidos. Idk what it is but they are better than oreos, and they’re cheaper to boot.

Also a bag of milk chocolate chips. spread some peanut butter on bread, sprinkle some chips on top and pop them in the toaster oven. Boom. Toasted PB&C, goes nicely with a small cup of milk. Great when it’s cold outside.

Neither the question nor the answer should ever be a surprise.

The time, and location of proposal are the surprise.

When I asked my now wife, I knew for sure she was going to say yes, and I knew she would want a simple ring with her birth stone instead of a diamond.

She had no idea I was going to ask her in the manner I did while we were out camping. that was the surprise for her. Not the question itself.

When people start seeing huge rises in their electric bill, don’t be surprised to see normal everyday people trying to burn down datacenters.

pattern buffer

I’ve checked the logs myself, there’s no anomalous readings from the pattern buffers. ^Shhhhhhh
