West end of Algoma; trains come here. Listen to Dire Straits. I work in the front row of the garden of small potatoes concert production for artists like Fred Eaglesmith. I write random haikus that make Vogon poetry look good. Currently driving.

Have you got the new Poilievre campaign ready? Yeah, check in the Outhouse office.
Let's hope for the same results 🙌

"Yes I'll play that Lace and Pretty Flowers song for you Ma'am"

"But I must tell you beforehand that I am in a committed relationship."

The late Willie P. Bennett. His music is rare and beautiful and worth the searching. Sort of like you, Kid.

The ball room is getting bigger. They will need a hospital wing like the N.I.C. E. Institute of C.S. Lewis. When the Criminal dies, medical experimenters will be ready. His big head will be connected to a machine so even when his body dies, he can still keep talking. Read That Hideous Strength.

It's not bluegrass unless there is a murder in the first verse. That is why Earl had to die.
When I got hired at my last restaurant one of the line cooks found out I was in comedy and then proceeded to ask me for weeks to "Tell him a joke' multiple times a shift until I threatened to stab him with a fork.
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Correct description. It isn't useful, like manure from horses, cows, sheep. It's dogshit. It has no fans.
This has been a real dogshit year, huh?

Reminder. When somebody despicable kicks the bucket and takes a dirt nap, there will be a world wide celebration, not unlike the ending of WW II, or New Year's Eve. They will run out of alcohol and champagne. Think ahead. Stock your cupboard now.
I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it.

You couldn't write comedy better than this. It's better than VEEP.

Happy November 32 to all who celebrate.

Or hibernate

Or do something else, ending the same way.

At the Kyiv railway station –
a sculpture Volya by Oleksii Sai

Made from the damaged letters of a welcome sign in Liubymivka, a frontline village in Kherson region, occupied in March 2022 and liberated that October.

Volya means both freedom and will – a word that perfectly captures 🇺🇦 spirit.

I regret to inform y’all that this is a Real Product.

I, myself, took this photo as I experienced a wave of an unnamed combined emotion consisting of genuine revulsion toward this *and* actual gratitude that my food allergies mean I can never ever ingest this.

A calm night in Kyiv.
There’s power at home.

Living one day at a time lets me truly enjoy this moment.
Tomorrow will be another day.
I’m just grateful for this one.

We got big weather news from Gail again. She brings trouble every November north of Superior. She's not early this year but she's persistent.
