Calvin is listening to "head, shoulders, knees, and toes" in a slowed down rhythm (repeatedly) and honestly? It could really work as a burlesque song. Maybe even with a filked verse for the stage....

A dump truck with the text "Fitzgerald's Salvage & Recycling" under the phone number is the text "Jesus Recycle People...We Recycle Cars."

I need a comma...or maybe two....

In other news, a South American bird of prey is hanging out near Wilmington's tall ship.

(The current best guess to how the yellow headed caracara got here is that it was a stowaway on one of the banana boats that regularly visit the First State's port.)

My husband IS a deck builder, roguelike lover of a gamer so I mentioned it to him as a suggestion. I was just treated to a greatly enthusiastic review of the game. ROFL. He was apparently an early adopter and really, really enjoyed that game A LOT.

FYI that the House Ways & Means committee has a YouTube channel where you can watch meetings. They've been really healthcare focused lately. I haven't watched them but I'm intrigued by the 2+ hour meeting about Technology to help specifically Foster children???

YouTube video by Meat Loaf - Topic Back Into Hell

Gloriously, "Bat out of Hell II" was released the year I turned 16, so it all works out in the end!

"What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?"

Well...my brain read that as the year you were born and I was quite pleased to see "Bat out of Hell" was released that year (a week after I appeared, even!). Then I was bummed, cause I realized I mixed up the intent.

Gives me idiocracy vibes. Like multiple sites (social media?) That you can spin through in a short attention span haze.

Aurora visible in Northern Delaware tonight. My sister in Ft. Worth saw them too! Craziness!

There was a discussion about my Senator and who could run against him in the primary and being a citizen of Delaware, I was SO tempted to say, "f-- it, just run Biden!" LoL

This question had me pondering and I came up with "climb" but wanted a more elegant word. Thesaurus options of "Breast", "Mount", "Shimmy", and "Cant" (like cantilever) made me laugh at least.

Ultimately, I'm living.

This was my answer as well!

They're very indignant chickens on stilts with hammers for heads.

I love them! (And a particular one was very interested in my camera shutter noise when I met it in '93)

Yea....I doubt that's why no one likes my posts. But good guidance, regardless.

Its the H's for me

Exactly! The Mayor says they've formed a committee about it though.

Have you been following the uproar about canceling Christmas in old New Castle? This following the felling of the giant evergreen in town and replacing it with a 10foot one. New Castle is having an existential crisis (or I'm just now noticing)

Image from V for Vendetta with the text quote "Remember, Remember the 5th of November. The gunpowder, treason, and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot."

Thank you to everyone who voted yesterday! Let's hope this doesn't ramp up gunpowder, treason, and plots...by either side.

A black cat curled on a black couch completely indifferent to the human he has displaced (visible by the flower print pants)

Not me paraphrasing the "Full Metal Jacket" quote at the cat for taking my spot. "Wilson, this is MY spot, there are many like it, but this one is mine".

And yes, I'm trying really hard to reframe that mentally to something like, "i could have thirty more years to enjoy/do x/whatever, yay!" but ya'll the soul is weary.

That moment in your 40s when you realize, "I could have ANOTHER 30 years of this shit?"

YouTube video by Sommer Sanchez The Famous CULT COUPLE You've NEVER Heard Of: The Alamo Christian Ministries Cult - PART 1

The whole video is here: youtu.be/CT6ptPAhbBo?...

Found it! The Alamo Cult Here's a snip (if i did it right) from the YouTube video that explains B-Girls.

Unless you want me to explain the true crime video? ;-)

It was the early life of someone who got wrapped up in a cult, if memory serves. But ive been mainlining the content for several days and I might have mixed up which story.

B-girl (I believe!) The bartender sets them up with a non-alcoholic drink and they entice men to the bar. They want to buy the girl a drink and so it increases sales but the girl has no obligation to actually drink the drink OR only drink non-alcoholic.

There's a name for that! It recently came up in a true crime video inwas watching!

If it can talk about sex (but no details) and homosexuality, The Dragon Kings of Oklahoma by Ferrett Steinmetz are really awesome.

With Federal workers missing paychecks, they're also missing the Healthcare premiums being deducted from said checks. This will automatically trigger benefit termination and COBRA notices effective 11/1. Why is no one talking about this?

Can't answer that....I do do that, but I also have brain damage.
