A Bittersweet "Finally"

It's a relief after decades now of the right wing shoving their Christianity into politics it to finally hear an evangelical call out the bullshit that is Trump's hold on these people, but if I was answering Cuban's question honestly I'd day that I *think* he's about to be disappointed when his flock chooses Trump over God.

What’s everyone think about this sermon ? https://t.co/WaigQoxDJm

Well, This is Something.

I have no idea who this is but it's by far the most honest/self-aware thing I've ever seen anybody say on Facebook.

Corporate America, Corporate America Regrets

I love watching people at my office pretend to pull their hair out in frustration at how slow it takes to get anything done in corporate America while sprinting to the parking garage at 4:55pm every day and taking their birthdays off; meanwhile I rarely go too long without kicking myself for not parking myself behind some corporate desk at 22 so by now I’d have like 33 weeks of vacation and nobody would be exactly sure what I do but nobody ever asks because who the hell cares anyway.

NEW XMASTIME SERIES!

FESSHOLE BULLSHIT SCORE

EGG FOO WHAT?! Update

How's the EGG FOO WHAT?! Monopoly board game coming along, you didn't ask? PRETTY good, people; PRETTY, pretty, pretty good!

Brilliant Ideas. I Have Them.

"I'm listening."
Can’t Michael J. Fox’s final role be as the dad in a Teen Wolf sequel? πŸ€”πŸ€·‍♂️

GUYS GUYS GUYS JOE BIDEN IS ON MY TRAIN 😲😲🀯🀯

I. HATE. EVERYTHING. IN. THIS. WORLD. 😑😑😑😑





Ah Yes, Right On Schedule

As you already know thanks to moi, by law CNN can't go more than 2 weeks without a big article about shithead Jamie Dimon being "concerned" about the economy, and of course his solution for such concern always seems to wind itself back around to "more Trump". Kudos to CNN this time for not picking another "oh no here's Jamie with his frowny face, he has a sad!" photo, I guess.

Oh, Good...

...it looks like Tennessee has finally answered the age-old question, “How can we make our kids a lot dumber while simultaneously increasing the chances their heads will accidentally be blown off?” Awesome.

Ideas. I Have Them.

A podcast that’s all about the local news & weather, thereby immediately rendering it both somewhat charming & forever obsolete.

State du Moi

Look I’m not saying she’s gonna sit-down today & write a country western song about me, but earlier I saw that the lady who is always mopping my building’s lobby when I’m leaving in the morning - don’t ask me why someone decided peak commuting time in the morning when people are leaving the building is the right time to make a marble floor even more slippery - was right in front of the door I usually use to exit and when she saw me she made a motion to move but I waved her off and took one of the two doors I don’t ever use to leave in the morning, so…DOES that make me a hero? I guess I’ll just have to leave that for the history books to decide. πŸ˜”

New Day, New Assholes

Across my 26+ years of using the Subway/Metro I’ve seen a lot of assholes & shitheads and even after all this time I’ve discovered a brand new one to me: the older than fucking Methusala motherfuckers who choose to STAND next to an empty seat so that when you get on the train of course now you can’t take the seat since from then on every new person who gets on will think you’re sitting there like an asshole while this poor centenarian is suffering standing next to you so you hafta stand up throughout your whole ride or until Moses fucking whatever Moses' last name was gets off the fucking train  AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

Life. It's Really Happening, Isn't It

One way I like to keep myself on my toes is placing my on-deck hand soap in a cabinet & then forgetting about it that from then on every time I go to open a cabinet I pause, wondering if this is the one that will open up to a crazed hand soap unloading it’s full load on me.

Parking Lot

THE RAMONES VS. TANDY, Questioningly: I Have Made a Decision

AS PER MY EARLIER POST:

I can't believe I'm saying this, #1 because they did write the song & #2 Joey did have the voice of an absolute angel but maybe this was written for Mike Ferrio’s voice a little more; they're very similar, they're both incredible and maybe I'm being overly generous but I'm gonna give an A++ to Tandy’s version simply because I think the voice suits it just a tad better in this one specific case. But no losers in the game, I LOVE LOVE LOVE both! πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ•ΊπŸŽΈπŸŽΈ

Of course you people now how much I love The Ramones, but don't sleep on the first Tandy record being an all-time superslice of superslices of superslices!

UPDATE ON MY POST ABOUT THE CHESTIAL DELIGHTS OF THE 1983 MOVIE TRADING PLACES

OMG YA'LLLLLL REMEMBER YESTERDAY when I got lucky for the second time in my life??

WELL WELL WELL just look what just happened - another opportunity to get lucky!! I rolled the dice - see what happens!!!! I'm actually jealous, I wish I was you people & didn't already know what happened so I had something to look forward to!

OFAH du Jour

John Challis' brilliant line reading in this scene is always held up as a classic on the show, and 100% rightfully so (another one came only a few minutes later!!) but it's a shame that Sue Holderness' line tagged on at the end gets lost; you can hear the audience almost totally missing it, and it never seems to pop up in any great lines/bits discussion. It's a great line & she nails it. 

Oh well - mine's a large one MAaaaaaaarlene!! πŸ€—πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

GUYS GUYS GUYS TOM CRUISE IS ON MY TRAIN 😲😲🀯🀯

Xmastime So Sayeth, So Sayeth Xmastime

It's really adorable how whenever I'm passing someone walking a dog & say "hey buddy" they think I'm talking to them and not the dog.

Announcements. I Have Them.

I will be making an announcement re: which version of Questioningly is better at 9:25pm tonight. 





Goals. I Have Them.

I'd like to corner every person under 30 in my office with “so, what’s your favorite White Shadow episode?”
