Hey howdy there from Texas. I'm certainly wired, generally positive, and with a thousand interests in need of clones to pursue them... but we'd probably just start a book club instead of take over the world. As long as there is coffee, my pets, books, music, and Nintendos around... life is better than "meh."

I actually accidentally did that once. I found a tiny change envelope n the box for me asking for postage. I put the change in and gave it to 'em. But that was a few years ago. Doubt they do that now.

At the same time, one of my neighbor's brats was stealing the stamps off another neighbor's envelopes in the mailbox. She never put mail back in the box for pickup (street box, no locks) until that crazy girl moved out. I was next door and she never swiped mine. Weird.

For Father's Day next Sunday, my 16-y--o daughter has agreed to watch a movie of my choosing with me.

I want to get her excited about one of the movies I love, but which she's been uninterested in watching thus far.

Should it be:

Blues Brothers would be a fabulous gateway drug to seeing something fun and funny as hell that might be considered "old", but also some exposure to some good music from so many awesome legendary cameos.

That wouldn't surprise me, honestly. Joyce's book, though super thin, did NOT grab me at all. It was one of the few discount classics I bought that I gave up reading after 50 pages. I just couldn't get into it.

It also seems to be like the condensed version of what he would write later, the book "Ulysses." SO glad I decided I'd never buy that doorstop. I love to read, but had to finally admit there are many "classic" books I will just NEVER understand the appeal of.

I get ya there. I find it funny how much Ernest Hemmingway is held up as a great writer, but I only liked "The Old Man and the Sea" so far. The longer works just felt too tedious.. I got a collection of his shorter stuff and I have a feeling I'd enjoy it a lot more. Some authors are better in short form, some in much longer.

Like Springfield, which is bordered by Ohio, Nevada, Maine, and Kentucky

Meanwhile, 78% of pickup truck crashes in Texas occur after the driver was heard saying "Hey guys, hold my beer and watch this."

I have 38,000 followers on Mastodon. If only 1% of my followers gave me one dollar a month on Patreon, I would be making 38 million dollars every single month. The power of the generosity of strangers blows my mind.

Damn you, LQF... I'm too bloody tired to correct your math.

But after this shitty day, I needed the laugh (and another problem to solve to get out of my head for a bit... go figure).

I love armadillos.

I thought that was pill bugs... and only because they seem to get squashed or flicked away right after being touched.

Alternative to this would be once an armadillo dies on the side of the road, it will be posed with an empty beer bottle between it's claws over it's belly and pictures taken.

(sigh) Leave the dead alone, you sick twits.

Dunno why she expected a bunch of soccer moms to be able to pull it off. OBL would have died of natural causes by the time they all cleaned their cars of kid stuff and food messes and repeated the family routine to their spouses for the dozenth time because getting interrupted by a phone call about what to feed the 4 year old for dinner in enemy territory would be bloody dangerous.

84? Suppose that's about right, with some exceptions.

One factor seems to hit just after retirement, and the speed at which sense-of-humor dies correlates to the size of the retiree's front lawn and the amount of neighborhood kids who might walk around on it randomly.
