  1. I feel sorry for the 2 or 3 guys this dude hung out with who didn't know he was ISIS.
  2. I figured out why stairs are hard now-- I've got a bucket of water inside each ankle unless I lie around with my feet up. Temporary steroid inconvenience. OTOH, I have some executive function back. For more than a year I felt fine, but had brain fog. Was able to react but not to plan. Now I am knocking out stuff that I could have done months ago. Then I get tired. But still doing twice as much stuff. Gonna get doped up a smidge heavy with insulin later for a party at my cousin's. He's a pastry chef at Continental Bakery next to Chez Lulu (visit both next time you're near Birmingham,) and I WILL have some pastry even if I have to pass out on the lawn.
  3. My wife always appreciates that I remember I got married.
  4. It's not either-or either. Companies can expand a profitable line while cutting back on one that's losing out. You can do all sorts of things.
  5. Too obvious a villain to make it into a movie script. Also, fucking REMF.
  6. He may live in Houston, but he's dead as fuck in New Orleans.
  7. Maybe Neo-Caligula just went crazy.
  8. This reminds me of when I was a wee brat, and would stubbornly demand something that my Mom knew I wouldn't want to eat. I always got to eat that thing.
  9. Elon Musk: "A brand new day! I have the resources to do anything anybody ever wanted to do. Let's jack with MAGA subgroups who are stable, well-grounded in reality, and occasionally, quite good shots."
  10. You know how sometimes you can hear a song, and remember where you were when you first heard it? Now I'm back in our little starter 1960s home, back bathroom, too young to wank but plenty old enough to clamber up and nab Dad's Playboys from the top shelf. That's my bag, Bayyybeeee.
  11. And now the drunk family up the street has made it home. Very well-behaved kids though.
  12. Yep, fireworks or gunfire... we live next to a ridge that stretches for miles NE and SW, so we get to hear a variety. Ishkooda Gap or Gate City? Possibly a brave citizen defending against aggressive toddlers in strollers. Homewood? Occasional bottle rocket. Mountain Brook? Something big, excessive, and overpriced, like batteries of Roman candles, or flipping out and getting a divorce. I told Mrs. Canecutter, as we listened, that I detected a P-40 banking to make a strafing run.
  13. Hell I detached from the Bama half of my fandom two years ago during that cheaty-assed sloppy "victory" against Texas. Saban had lost it and they were playing as dumb as LSU. The reason I enjoyed them in the past was they played precise mechanical murder ball. Hell I could have been the QB, didn't matter that much. Now this weak inconsistent slop like during the Three Mikes. Not that they give a shit about my opinion. Worst thing is, I heard the announcers after the loss trying to polish the turd, talking about how hard so-and-so tried, all that feel-good kindergarten tripe. Who are we, AUBURN? That was Shug Jordan's old schtick.
  14. OK so here's a brand new year. Kinda cool, kinda cool.
  15. I got a good friend who started posting AI shit artwork on Instagram. No biggie to me except he is an actor and not long ago was on strike against AI taking his job. He has since switched to real artwork. He's not bad at all. I went from silence to encouraging him to do more of the real stuff.
  16. ^^^ So with inflation, we are back to a mid-1990s minimum wage, except where we aren't.
  17. Mrs. Canecutter is now into collecting base-metal dollar coins so at the credit union I'll pick her up a roll of this or that. 9/10 of them never make it into the book, and sit there on the shelf. Well at least my son will have an inheritance. The other day I dropped into the coin shop looking for cheap Bo Dollars (Ikes) for her. They usually have a few ordinary coins that people bring in because eBay tells them it's a $50 rare dollar coin. Nope, but here's a dollar if you want it. No such luck. So I decide to be a tycoon and grab her a Bicentennial 40% silver one for 8 bucks. Don't tell her it's silver. She puts it in the book, yawns, forgets about it. Me: "You know that one is silver, right?" She: "No that mintmark can't be silver." "I'm pretty sure it's silver. Did you see the edge?" "Yeah the edge looks silver. But it can't be silver."
  18. Bama's where they belong.
  19. Spent yesterday toiling in the south 0.05 acres wiring in a fence breech. Wild animal highway, and Dog now knows that she can escape-artist out of there. Until she rammed up against the New Reality.
  20. As someone who spends half his days in walking hallucinations, I was totally pickin up what you were layin down.
  21. I knew they'd make America Great Again. I had no idea they planned to make it James Bond Freakin Awesome.
  22. About damn time. Coffee break's over, everybody back on your heads!
  23. We all start where we start. At least they're outside.
