Look kid, occasionally Iโ€™m going to drop an obscure boomer reference and itโ€™s up to you to dust off your Encyclopรฆdia Britannica and figure it out

I would do anything for a Zero bar, but I won't do THAT.

(Okay, fine, I would do THAT twice for a king-size one.)

Back in the 90s, in a ShadowRun story, I had a Wolf Spirit refer to Jesus as "a tree-hung godling..."

Shit, I haven't been blocked in almost two weeks. Have all the old talismans against political accounts lost their charm?

Let's put it to the test:

I've never had avocado toast and never will.
I bought something on Amazon this week.
I still drive a gasoline-powered vehicle.
Fuck.
Butthole.

Bad Bunny wearing tinted dark red glasses with gold frames, hair gelled looking quite handsome! White shirt and tan tie.

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martรญnez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

Juan Leon had only been running his Twin Cities tow truck business, Leo's Towing, for a few months when he noticed a pattern that kept repeating itself.
Cars were being left behind across the metro area - parked on streets, in parking lots, sometimes for days at a time. The owners were gone, and in many cases, they had been arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The tow truck company has been returning abandoned vehicles to families for free after ICE arrests, despite death threats.

I find watching the Olympics inspiring, especially Curling.

I've haven't mopped things so hard in years...

I have booked a music rock n roll punk show at Collective Arts in Toronto for Thursday March 5 for my band Anti-Spectacular and I'm looking for other acts to fill out the lineup. Are there any toronto based punk or punkish bands that would be interested? Lemme know in the replies and I'll DM you.

Hit the Ko-fi site and pull down the free ones first. If you like them, then go ahead and snag the stories.

But, please, money is tight for everyone, so only get these if you really like them.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

Who's the moron who thought this was a good idea?

I'd really love for you to take a look at this thread.

I think you'll really enjoy the stories... and

I just had to replace my catalytic converter which, alas, costs about 1000 times what one of these stories does. :)

(Repost, if you don't mind. It helps. Thank you.)
