She perked right up (โit me!โ) looks around for the source of the bellow and saw me.
โTOBIAS!!!โ

Laughing and hugs ensued.
At Faire, at her request, I am now
obligated to greet her with that declaration.
True story: one of my friends transitioned and came to Renfair as a new character. I came to viait, saw her at a table in character, and could not remember her character name.
In a mild panic I engaged my diaphragm and bellowed
โOI! GIANT WOMAN!!!!โ

If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard... They're really aptitude coignitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump.

12.09.2025 18:59 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0So now I'm gonna screw around with lowball-tuning the high G string and when I want a low G strung banjolele, I guess I have to use my father's banjolele, which I inherited.
Yes, I can say "This is my father's banjolele" which is a phrase almost no one is prepared to hear.
TODAY I LEARNED that since an Banjolele from the Outdoor Ukulele Company of Bend, OR is designed to take a high G (20) string - specifically in the clever slotty thing at the tailpiece - One cannot restring it with a low G (40) string.

My point is that when everyone else already has a take about something you don't feel like investing your mental energy in, it's cool to sit this one out. Take the day off.
