My local school rural school of 40 kids (pk-8) has “Lego Robotics Club”, “Dungeons and Dragons Club”, and “Chicken Club” - the last of which fundraised to start raising a small flock of chickens at the school.

First time I read this as “Middle Ages Mutant Ninja Turtles” and boy was I confused by that.

I remember @mooseallain.bsky.social ‘s post on Twitter! As I read your post I kept thinking “haven’t I read this before…” but now it’s great because you @‘ed him so I can follow him here too. Thanks for sharing this adventure.

They don't give you a day off
on the day the
bad guys win
It's just a Tuesday
No time to mourn
Drive past the
men wearing black
with your morning coffee
The quarterly reports
are due today
Maria didn't show up to work
I'm sure it's fine
You'll get used to
that feeling of dread
and there's much to do

Keeping up with the news makes you think that somewhere, locked in a room, there's an immortal and very much cursed Billy Joel chained to a computer, endlessly churning out a dot matrix printer paper tapestry of fresh WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE lyrics in some kind of Sisyphean punishment.

Moon’s out b’loons out?

One of the funniest things about my dad is that he refuses to let a sneeze happen. He just plugs his nose and lets that thing ricochet back into his brain. Nobody knows where he learned this behavior, and none of us are brave enough to question his methods.

Not me. I’m not the one who spray-painted “I”’s into every TO LET sign I see when visiting the UK. Couldn’t be me.

Pronouncing it “bisky” in my head forever

I hear they stop when you finally resolve your underlying anxiety… lol never!

Oh Floats is good. Imagine all the floats floating like a kaleidoscope of butterflies.

Can we turn the tide against sk*ets, though?

Just thinking about when I was a soft 13y/o playing men’s softball in a church league and the jacked 38 y/o guy on my team who would launch absolute rockets at me during “warmups”. What a douchebag.

“I have to find that melody alone…”

They could continue this echo for 45 minutes straight at their shows and I would still be sad when the last one rings out

Why should they benefit from your… the thing where you… whatever it is we all follow you for???
