“Hey Dershowitz! What’s that restaurant you like to go with all the crazy shit on the walls?”

Bosses have been pushing hot and heavy to get these laptops out just to meet a deadline that was set earlier in the year.

About two hours ago, we got a desperate email advising us to stop sending them out because the company that’s buying us now wants them.

I think I just want to retire so I can finish up projects.

I wish my job included paid sabbaticals. I’ve been here 30 years. Six months would probably be enough.

Somebody call Geddy Lee. I have an idea for a follow-up to Trees.

Remember when frozen turkeys were so cheap companies could afford to give ‘em away?

Good times. Good times…

Dunno. But there is a boardgame that lets you program a robotic vacuum with a cat on it.

Don't get your wires crossed as you jointly program kooky robots to complete tasks.

Tried a new (to me) whiskey last night. After looking it up, no wonder I liked it. It’s almost $50 a bottle.

Watching a financial channel and some guy is touting his book based on a lucky prediction he made over 20 years ago.

I will repeat one of my mantras. If you are selling the secrets to making money, you are essentially telling people it’s more lucrative to sell that information than to use it.

Thosw 🔜 BGG.Con 🌮 🥃 @thosw.bsky.social · 18h

There it is.

Reminds me of Batik.

My fear is that every time we step up to fill a gap, the assholes that created the problem will just sit back and say "See? That's what should have been happening all along!" all while counting the money they stole that we paid in taxes which were supposed to take care of people in the first place.

“Cheeeeese, Gromit!”

Driving around the neighborhood in the afternoons yelling “6 7” to set off the kiddos like a barking dog sets off all the dogs in the entire neighborhood.

Caught a look at myself in the mirror just now. I look like Professor Pat Pending from Wacky Races.

Pretty sure this was the source of Dale Gribble’s last name on King of the Hill.

Elizabeth Taylor? You mean Wilma’s mother from the live action Flintstones movie?

I still find it strange that sometimes an ink pen will write just fine on one part of a surface and not on another even though it’s the same material.

Got yelled at by Mom for fixing the clock on her microwave after Daylight Savings Time.

“I’m the only one who uses it. I know what time it is.”

So now I leave it.

Special congrats to my microwave who has been wrong for six months but is now back to actually telling the time

Not 100% certain yet, but I think the opening piano riff from Sister Christian is also the same as the opening melody from Teenage Dirtbag.

Mark another task off the list. Changed the brake pads on the wife’s van.

Firestone wanted $$$ to do it.

I dunno, man. Is almost $3 a pound a good deal for this?

A five pound bucket of cured salted pork feet with a $14 price sticker.
