Ghoul Ol' WT

He was on Oatmeal Cream Pies for a bit, bit these are his favorite

Exactly. I'm not going to buy a bunch of things we'll throw out later. Chips ahoy and peanut butter crackers it is.

A grocery cart containing Cookies, a peach pie, honey buns, peanut butter crackers, banannas, dogfood and Dr pepper

My grandpa's grocery list these days looks like a 5th grader got whatever he wanted.

I'm just happy to put calories in him.

If the Dems ran on that platform they would have a super majority. If they offered to legalize weed, too, there would never be a Republican in office again.

You are the perfect person for this project.

Thankfully my boss would just shake his head, look at me with disdain, and move on.

That sounds right. When my boss asks what happened, I'll forward the skeet and he will have no choice but to forgive me.

It's Friday, right? I came to work and nobody is here.

Did I mess up?

Without first hand knowledge, I feel like you could fill that thing with pepper spray and it wouldn't vent. You'd just be marinating in it.

So in this universe Big Belly Burger is, like a fast casual low end Applebees I guess. That's neat. #Peacemaker

The Goths all like it. I've never watched.

I'm not 100% clear why I know any of this. I do not follow the Try Guys.

Wait, the Try Guy they kicked out for making his whole gimmick that he loves his wife only to cheat on her with a producer is a wrestler now?

Fucking.... yeah, I guess that tracks. 🤼

I wrote a paper in the car on the way to class, on a yellow legal pad, WHILE DRIVING, and got a C. Bullshit LLMs can eat me.

Look, I know the main event is the incest thing, but how are you going to wear a Doctor Who sweater and pull for the conservatives? Ain't no way The Doctor is on your side here.

Oh, hard same. So you still do some unpaid voice acting then! Entertaining yourself and your cats has value in itself.

I like it. And if and when the Death Riders split up they can do a sort of APA Violence for Hire thing in the women's division.

He still makes the face from that blue ball cap photo.

Do you do voices at home still? I love to put on an accent and talk to my cat.

What would you have fed the Triceratopses? Would they be for riding, or do they give milk? I'm not up on the paleontology.

That is a pain I know too well. I've got a novella and a couple half novels on my hard drive that just aren't THERE yet. One day we'll overcome that.

WT holds up a Power Ranger Morpher with the Triceratops coin slotted in.

Literally on my desk as we talk, my friend.

That happens. Do you enjoy what do you instead? Not just work, the other stuff, too.

No, see, that's the danger of this. like, my comic was never published by a major, but I did get published and it was stocked in a comic shop. I made it!

Don't nitpick that it isn't EVERYTHING, be proud of what you accomplished. You're a journalist like you dreamed!

That's also true. I'm glad that, even if it's not where they money comes from, you get to live a BUNCH of your dreams.

Well, sure, we all get a job or two. But you made it! You gave your first dream a shot and hated it, which, mad respect for not just muscling through. And then you chased the second one and got it! Must be pretty cool to know teenage you would be proud of adult you.

And you still got your dogs, so you're doing alright in the "hanging out with animals" department.

For real though, right after they arrested me, I might lie about knowing the Supreme Chancellor of Anonymous or whatever just because I don't actually know anything useful they could torture out of me, and my sense of "time and place" isn't well developed.

I got that one, too. But I think the arguing was just an early sign of the autism. "Here is why I did what I did, so you see, logically, there's no reason to punish me, because I lacked intent to misbehave."

I had a brief Space Kid faze, but that was one of the things that never really sparked joy for me. Do you ever wonder what might have been?
