  1. You need to load the goo into a water pistol. I mean a goo pistol. Take it to shi-shi events, fine dining, open houses.
  2. Depends on what mayhem happens in the Republican primaries; when Jones won the senate seat the republicans were coming off a corrupt governor meltdown (Dr. Skeletor) and a three-way split to run for senator between Angry Snow-Monkey Mo Brooks (whose sorcery did not extend south of the Tennessee,) Luther Strange (comic-book villain and bland frat-boy who'd probably have won except he was planning to pardon Skeletor's crimes,) and Roy Moore, because that bible's not gonna thump itself. Alabama deems it meet and right to have open primaries, so I and a multitude of Dems voted for Moore, because, wrench. It was still a probable Republican win until a combo of Washington Post kiddie-stalking stories and Republican rebellion brought Moore down. Half of the Repubs stayed home. About 1/10 voted write-ins. Dems smelled blood and turned out. Squeaker, but it happened.
  3. True. I submit to y'all that the money barely matters.
  4. I believe in a benevolent monarchy descended from George Washington (last I heard this was a truck driver in Iowa,) a peaceful nation who pay Canada, Mexico, and the Bahamas to fight all our wars, monorails and airships servicing all villages (pilot training avoided because they'll be trained rhesus monkeys at the tillers,) required attendance at Anglican Church of America services wearing polished jack-boots (for the women, men can do whatever they want,) all children attend boarding schools where they study Latin, fencing, and horseback riding as well as one elective pertinent to the management of panicky foreigners, and every household receives a basic monthly income with extra bonuses for purchasing art, which will lead to distorted economies similar to the old days where Mom would send three individual children into a store to each buy 3 cents of candy with printed Food Stamp dollars, receiving a total of $2.91 in change, which they'd then fetch outside to Mom who would come in and buy a bottle of Thunderbird. Also, we'd discontinue the use of nickels, dimes, credit cards, crypto, and all apps except Venmo because they haven't pissed me off yet.
  5. These goofy metal climbs remind me of my first trip to Mexico. Guide book (early 90s) said they had a "New Peso" that was 3 to a dollar. I budgeted for that. Get there, and it's already 7 to a dollar. My backpackin ass suddenly had twice the cash. Oh to be young again.
  6. First time I've heard that word used outside a seafaring novel.
  7. 2025 winds to an end and I am done with shows for the year. Wasn't a bad year. Main difference was adding out-of-state shows, 1 in Tennessee, 6 in Georgia. Tennessee was like sailing around the Horn of Good Hope with shit weather, Georgia mostly sold more (shooing away several large never-sell paintings) but costing more too as two-day venues + hotel, except when I watched foosbaw with @baboso Good way to move old stock and make future previous customers. (There are several similar-sized shows nearer to home that I avoided because they were put on by Mean Old Lady art clubs and I figured they'd draw a stuffy crowd, but I'm wrong all the time so maybe I'll just do them next year instead of all but the best Atlanta shows.) My unreliable little car is no longer unreliable, because it is dead. Now I have a big warm Toyota 4Runner that could hold double the gear I take to shows. It has made driving a joy and maybe in 2026 I'll find out what Florida has to offer. For now, I draw and paint. Several categories flat sold out.
  8. Who are you and why are you winking at my sheep?
  9. Nice bit of boredom around here. Had the ECHO tech telling me her life story (I asked) as she scanned all up in my heart. She never stopped and said "OH MY GOD." Continued my quest to use every MRI machine in the UAB area. Sometimes you get a vintage one out in the county where it takes extra time for them to shovel coal underneath the boiler, but in this case I was in the Imperial Headquarters and the unit still had that new MRI machine smell. More importantly, the techno concert lasted ten minutes less than average. Doc hemmed and hummed a little, but bottom line was there may be things out there (I am certain they are, because the sneaky little bastards are made out of me) but nothing's getting anywhere near big enough to cause trouble. We agree to sit behind our cotton bales and not say a thing. Oh, and I was taking my blood pressure the wrong way. Instead of high BP, I have low pressure and can make myself dizzy by standing up fast, if I'm like, bored.
  10. Chicks dig scars. Chicks dig guys who read the thread before posting.
  11. This guy gets it.
  12. I'll be asking the questions in today's Inquisition, thank you. Never went full Norse, but when I was fencing, Mrs. Canecutter would buy a bottle of mead that could only be opened if I medalled in a tournament. Thirsty? Best get to stabbin'.
  13. That's a face for screaming at the maid.
  14. That'd be Tuesday.
  15. This is the kind of shit you blurt out when you're used to getting your ass kissed.
  16. Sounds like the second scene of a vampire movie.
  17. I wasn't aware that there could be too much or too often.
  18. It can do a lot for a kid to have even one great-grandad who made a mark.
  19. Just call her up and tell her you're the US Attorney General of Physical Exams.
  20. Sitrep: Scam resolved. Got the money back. Took maybe a month extra because I sent them a photo of the CUNA Affidavit of Forgery form in the wrong format. (They probably called me to tell me that but I ain't been answerin shit.) It was draggin on about a month longer than I expected, so I called them and the person in charge walked me through resending what they needed, then boom the money came back. This has pretty much spazzed out all my banking habits. Instead of having various apps feed money into my credit union checking acct, I keep them mostly isolated from each other like stand-alone buildings at a fireworks factory. I am now Gen Z as far as checks go-- I would use them to pay taxes at shows, now I'll just dump coins into the envelopes. I pay all the bills with a credit card that has no connection to my credit union. Yep.
  21. My main Missouri experience was a youth church trip there. Learned 4 guitar chords on a bus through the Arkansas Delta. Failed to impress girls in SW Missouri after 3 days practice. Switched back to art and was doing pastel live drawings while other kids would talk about Jesus. Would time it so that I hacked in 3 crosses on a hilltop as they finished the last sentence. Little blonde Lutheran girls on vacation from Minnesota would cry. I had a future in the American Evangelical Emotional Manipulation business but I let it slide. I don't remember seeing you there but I'll take your word for it.
  22. Just so long as you've got enough to keep that forearm moving...
  23. People obsess over a penny costing 3 cents, while completely overlooking that Gen Z have been born without thumbs.
  24. I think these birds are doing 1920s gangster movie slang now, see?
  25. Pretty reasonable stance by Mexico considering their past and present. If you can barely control los indios/bandidos/carteles/whatever-they-call-em-next-year, you don't need to encourage extra filibusteros and other pirates trying to peel off new strips of land. Oh right. He "forget."
