"'I did not kill him', you had exclaimed, 'but I wanted to!"

"...Yes, I am afraid that I did want to kill him, many times wanted to...Unfortunately, unfortunately!"

"You wanted to. ..."

Overheard at work: Raspberry Pis are just good to have around.

I agreed, but for slightly different reasons.

Recommendations for best little retail shops for edible treats in Chicagoland?

Not...those kind of edibles. Jam, candy, that sort of thing

Only Yorgos could make a theme this bleak into something entertaining. Ditch the fam this year and go to the picture show instead.

Closing out this Monday with a poetry party! Best way to end a Monday if you ask me. This tiny taste is from "Half Past a Monkey’s Ass", one of two poems by Jason Ryberg that you can find in our 91st edition. Check them out on Sunday, 11/30!

Well, the lip pencil didn't work.

How do people keep their lipstick on, dang it? One drink of coffee and it's all over the rim.

A thing I hate that sometimes happens in the arts it gives me the full-body ick

Loved this to bits, all the way through.

I think I figured out why so many Midwesterners hate traffic circles: the implication we ever made a full stop at an intersection in the first place.

Also, whatever was bold is now not bold. After every move you have to do a CTRL-Z

Anybody create a style in Word and as soon as you hit bullets or anything that isn't ENTER and everything goes wonky? Or when you try to go back to paragraphs the tab is wherever Word feels like putting it?

Naturally I'm using Microsoft365; I'm guessing that number is how often it works like shit
