Texas has to scale back, thanks Gov. Dumbass
It’s not a surprise that Gov. Shitbag and his underlings have had to pump the brakes regarding the COV-19 issue since they open things too soon. Cases are rising very rapidly in Texas but I have a suspicion it’s the … Continue reading
The “new normal” June 2020
Thanks to a cartoon from The New Yorker, this might be the solution to get me back into the groove of writing for Picayune since Starbucks are not ready.
Light rail expansion? Finally!
Now will come the opposition from all the Libertarian/Republican assholes who think they have a right to drive an SUV/Hummer getting 10 mpg and they shouldn’t be taxed for infrastructure! Screw them, I pay for the cops who only “protect” … Continue reading
Mystery mall birds figured out
If you ever go to the strip mall with Terra Toys, Dragon’s Lair, Precision Camera and Conan’s Pizza, you’ll find the exteriors peppered with these really well-made nests with plenty of bird crap on the ground nearby. I knew they … Continue reading
US Air Force’s Thunderbirds fly over Austin area
Yesterday, Austin got a sample of what 80 years of bloated, runaway military spending buys as the Air Force’s Thunderbirds flew over. This was Orange Foolius’ attempt to make us forget how his incompetence got us into such a … Continue reading
“Stay in place” orders are over in Texas, wait n’ see
We’re far from being out of the woods yet. I plan to be still wandering about with my newish mask and a two-ouncer of hand sanitizer. When I don’t need to be anywhere, I’m going to be home, enjoying my … Continue reading
Moronavirus outbreak happened again this weekend
Once again, con artist and bullshitter Alex Jones got his Ammosexuals and dupes riled up to make their moronic demands at the Capitol. It’s a downside of Austin, right along with all the dickweeds wearing Ron Paul shirts. I’ve concluded … Continue reading
Threadgill’s is closing for good, more of Austin dies
An element which made Austin…Austin and not another cookie-cutter, ‘burb-filled shithole filled with just Volvo-driving soccer moms (see Indiacrapolis and Raleigh-Durham), is shuttering for good. Threadgill’s has been at its location on Lamar since the days the city proper ended … Continue reading
This is going to be my quarantine flag
In light of the moronavirus breakout Saturday, this will be my counter-terrorism flag to the terrorist symbol I remember seeing even in Illinois and Wisconsin. I need a can of spray paint to cover it up whenever it is found as … Continue reading
Austin had a moronavirus outbreak
One horrible downside to Austin is that carnival barker Alex Jones lives here and spouts off his horseshit from his parents’ basement via the Internet. Today he gathered up a few hundred Ammosexuals to protest Science, Reality and not being … Continue reading
Twenty-one years with Apple today
Rather neat that these two things (work and Easter) coincide today. I think we’re all in agreement…better circumstances are desired. Plans? None since it’s Sunday and I’m four-to-nine years off of anything Apple might do to acknowledge my tenure. Let’s … Continue reading

Keeping track of passing time in Austin

On the upside, stuff is getting refunded or rescheduled!
Anything slated for the end of the month are in the crapper obviously. The only thing I was seriously looking forward to was seeing Brian Posehn at Cap City again with my new friend Debbie; she likes stand-up too. I … Continue reading
HEB is mostly fine, just reduced hours
A crisis really brings out the worst in most people, namely in what the hell they buy when there’s bad weather afoot and now this pandemic cajoling people into limiting their American lifestyles. For my friends who don’t live in … Continue reading
SXSW 2020 is cancelled!!
My bitching about SXSW is nothing new but its cancellation this Spring is a dream come true! We taxpaying, non-asshole residents get to enjoy our city for a little while longer. The writing was on the wall anyway. Nazi-sympathizer Jack … Continue reading
