Good joke about a rather lame episode and casting issue
This is a dig at a rather disappointing episode from the early Nineties Next Generation period called “The Chase.” If it were done today via the Paramount+ regime, the execution would more likely be a more satisfying mini-arc within Strange New Worlds or a … Continue reading
Some unicorn fun!
A rather funny encounter between a “manly” dragon and a male unicorn. Good thing the interaction ended well because most non-metallic-based dragons are Evil and unicorns are Lawful Good and people think a date between a Trumper and Sanders Supporter … Continue reading
Ugly ducklings should definitely apply!
I say, why not? Some people could use a good challenge, embrace a rather wild, impulsive career change! You could be one of those pests on a golf course, honking at all the jerks in the ugly pants! However, if … Continue reading
Chucks update, August 2022
At Jennifer’s insistence, and for my sanity, I got some more of my Chucks off the floor, out of the temporary crates and boxes and on to the infamous shelving. Last Sunday, I filled it with pairs to spare. And … Continue reading
I knew those Kumon tutoring joints were a front!
Yikes, if this poor person can’t handle her issues with addition via the powerful Crystal Blue Math Jesse and Walter are making in their lab, I fear what will happen when she is offered some uncut Game Theory or Geometry. … Continue reading
A great Princess Bride joke!
Someone at my job did this. As soon as I spotted it, I knew the reference instantly because it’s only one of my favorite movies of all time! Good thing I wasn’t riding by on horseback.
Meet Pelucchi!
In light of yesterday’s screed on how democracy is dying in America via its Senior Citizens, here’s some overdue levity demonstrating my crude PhotoShop skills. I made this creature for my cousin, her husband and their mutual friend as part … Continue reading
Looking for ‘Lot Sharks?
I’m guessing this is Round Rock’s solution to parking-lot crime at the outlet mall, having a cop sitting up there like he’s Sheriff Brody watching for sharks looking for thugs going after shoppers’ discounted Crocs.
Why Amerika can’t have nice things, August 2022 edition
“My side” isn’t perfect either, but I don’t recall even the rank-and-file Obama or Clinton apologists being ‘merched up like Trumpanzes, MAGAts, TeaBaggers, Q-Anoners and the pathetic Insane Clown Posse fans. I’m sure there have been a few over the … Continue reading
Fox News interviews Grand Moff Tarkin
We shouldn’t be surprised that Tarkin is a sleazy, Republican apologist for the Emperor but not a diehard fanatic a la Boebert, Greene or Gaetz; he’s carved from the more cynical branch like McCarthy or McConnell. Sure the Death Star killed … Continue reading
Spotted in Denmark! I’m an energy drink!
I know I put this in the Dutch category yet this was spotted in Denmark, well, my friend Jeremy saw it and he lives in the Netherlands, so it counts as Dutch. It is odd in how the description underneath … Continue reading
First “perfect” month in half a year!
A job well done for the month of July! Closed all three rings 31 days in a row. I wish I could say I succeeded in them being achieved by cycling 17 miles every time. Today was the exception because … Continue reading
Mileage goal achieved at gym! Five thousand!
Success! I now have 5000 miles logged on this particular type/brand of exercise bike which is what I’ve done about two thirds of my worldwide journey on. I didn’t stick around to see which number/target followed. I had plans, namely … Continue reading
Introducing my friend Marian!
Yesterday, my friend Marian was officially recognized by the state by her current and correct identity and I wanted to let the world to know because I want to share the mudita expressed in the celebration and photo.
Caloric goal achieved at gym!
It would be there sooner for a couple reasons that we all know, Covid-19 and not going to Planet Fatness. When I logged into the bike today, I was relieved that it set the next calorie goal to 200,000 since … Continue reading
