Make A Random Statement About Something Nobody Should Care About

[ER]

Good night and sleep well, everyone (on whatever night you happen to see this), may your chosen mythological beings usher you into dreams that fit your taste as you slumber with a minimum 30% REM state and unconscious shifting of position every three to seven minutes. May your dust mites be tidy, your drool spots be sweet and never clammy, may the Old Hag trouble someone else (but not me), and may your pillows be ever cool to the touch. From South Africa to Scotland, Kentucky to Canada, Michigan to someplace else that compliments an M-sound, and all points in between, thank you all for being here, the weird and witty contentious bunch of non-conformists you are, there is not a one of you---no, not even you---I fail to value and enjoy.

Happy dreams, love, delight, curiosity and adequate beverages, always*!

History is about where we've been, and how far we've come, not about erasing the parts we don't like.

Death Wish remake... Igh!
If they did a remake of The Exterminator, They'd probably have to take out all that stuff about the unions stealing from their members.

I got a "counseling statement" at work today because one of our department supervisors is a lazy B**ch.  

With about a half hour left before it was time for me to go and about an hours worth of work I needed to get done in that time, I got called up to the front to ring registers because we were busy.  That's no big deal.  We get busy sometimes we need extra backup.  

Except she was just standing up there not doing anything.  So, I'm ringing people up, I'm trying to get the lines back down, she's still not doing anything, and then she calls me into the office because I didn't ask one person every single one of the half dozen questions we're supposed to ask at checkout.  

And then she gets on me because my shirt is dirty.  At the end of an eight hour shift.  After I've been working in the back in a dusty storeroom all day.

I just saw some guys put an M-80 down the throat of a dead carp they scooped up out of the river. Not as dramatic as you might expect, the effect was more a bullet hole out one side and forced post-mortem projectile vomiting of carp guts than total 360 degree obliteration, but bits of carpio did go sailing off toward the sun.

Instant sushi!!!!!

Did you ever see the video of the local authorities that tried to dispose of a dead whale by blowing it up?
It did not end well.

Wee tad surprised it never occurred to anybody that there used to be a occupation called whaling & the reason it existed at the time...

It rained blood, guts, blubber, and meat all over everyone within a reasonable distance, including the people filming the incident.

Whales used to be where we got lamp oil from, plus being a rotting mass of fat, it was full of methane, meaning, when they blew it up, all the very large bits & pieces caught fire, thus raining Hellfire & Damnation upon the spectators up to a quarter of a mile away.
