Social distancing doesn’t apply to LEGO® avatars!
At least LEGO Steve and LEGO Debbie got to hang out, have some frozen treats from the new City line’s ice cream truck. It’s pretty similar to the pizza one but it has three big differences. The cool popsicle logo … Continue reading
On the upside, stuff is getting refunded or rescheduled!
Anything slated for the end of the month are in the crapper obviously. The only thing I was seriously looking forward to was seeing Brian Posehn at Cap City again with my new friend Debbie; she likes stand-up too. I … Continue reading
The money arrived!
Bugs playing the role of Brunhilde feels appropriate. The leftover money in the refinancing landed in my checking account! No sign of it on the debt being paid that the credit union-title company chose first. Either way, I’m going to … Continue reading
RIP Kenny Rogers
Such a bummer to hear this on NPR and during this debacle during the Stupid Ages. I hope Kenny was at peace since all the news stories said he had been ill. I had the great opportunity to meet Kenny … Continue reading
Meanwhile…on Rainey Street in Arlen, TX
Block captain Hank Hill was successful at maintaining his weekly beer drinking in the alley with his friends despite Dale thinking the coronavirus is a hoax via Alex Jones and Bill’s need for companionship. Sadly, a non-dickhole conservative like Hank … Continue reading
1980: Mount St. Helens
I made a slight error in making the volcano my Header. On this day in history is when Helens began to have activity which experts feared would be an eruption. A week later, there were small ones but the big … Continue reading
What’s filling up our e-mail inboxes
A satire regarding all those hollow, suck-up, mercenary e-mails from Corporate Amerika on how they, we, etc. are weathering the pandemic. Maybe they’re already jockeying for position on the money Congress and the White House may send out in the … Continue reading
LEGO® now offers an online exclusive set
Hopefully they only sell this to us VIP members and there’s a decent spending threshold to receive the exclusive set! In all seriousness, I doubt there will be any Minifig heads with masks available in the build your own section … Continue reading
“Closed” on the house! It’s all mine again
With some convincing and cajoling, I closed on the new mortgage to regain exclusivity on my house yesterday. The title company agreed to letting Somara sign as long as she stayed in my car. Somara required some metaphorical arm twisting … Continue reading
HEB is mostly fine, just reduced hours
A crisis really brings out the worst in most people, namely in what the hell they buy when there’s bad weather afoot and now this pandemic cajoling people into limiting their American lifestyles. For my friends who don’t live in … Continue reading
Maybe I spoke too soon about the refinancing
Last night Somara sent me a text message about being very, very ill. The good news, it’s not CV-19 or whatever the hell you want to call this. She was diagnosed with an upper-respiratory infection, something I recall her battling with … Continue reading
Even LEGO® minifigs are hoarding
This minifig must be ill too. Her head is yellow while she has Honky hands. At least she’s wearing a mask to slow the spread.
A little pandemic humor, Pi Day Edition!
I have a feeling that this time, the shit is going to stick to him unlike the Mueller Report being spun by Barr (another reason why Catholicism and Notre Dame University disgust me) or the GOP blowing off the impeachment. … Continue reading
RIP Keith Olsen
Keith’s name may not be easily recognizable unless you are a music Nerd like me who reads the liner notes on records/CDs…one thing you can’t see on MP3s/streams. He produced numerous artists you’d know by name though: Santana, Pat Benatar, … Continue reading
“Come back when it’s a catastrophe!” -Captain Brannigan
I missed out on most of this memorable Friday the Thirteenth thanks to Seroquel but it’s officially a National Emergency. Wonderful. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I wish I lived during a boring era. The Asian blessing … Continue reading
