If you are a Mets fan, I want to follow you.

Unless you're MAGA, in which case the internet is a dangerous place and you'd be safer playing in a sandbox with your 2 white crayons and a juice box.

What you talking about Willis? 🤣

You know I get alerts now when you post.
I don't know if you feel honored or frightened. 🤣

I was just saying I didn't want you to think it was a big deal to me. I can only imagine how crazy your Notifs are.

I discovered Maron later. How old are your niece and cousin?
Someone I work with has been telling me that her daughter got her hooked. I don't know if my nieces are into her.

It's about a big big big rat that moved into this guys house and it terrorized him.

1 night, he has to pee. Doesn't turn the lights on, just lifts the toilet seat, starts to pee and the mother f;n rat jumps out of the toilet at his you know what. I couldn't sit on a toilet for a while.

That is deep. Have you always had it? Never seen Jaws then I take it.
I'm kinda like that with rats and toilets but not that bad.
When we first got cable and HBO when I was a kid, my brother and I watched this terrible yet incredible movie. Of Unkown Origin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y46...

@jazchaz.bsky.social
It was no big deal, just some self-deprecatory humor to thank you and Heidi, and now Marc Maron that I shouldn't be that snobbish.
That story about him almost dying but not being afraid was something else. Always been a Maron fan.
So no big deal

Same tune, I went with the Boston Pops.
Either way, it was the 1st thing I thought of.

Still can't believe that movie was rated PG. 70s... good times.

Tomorrow is a critical day for democracy in court. Compare how the Washington Post framed it vs Democracy Docket.

Right now, fearless, pro-democracy media is more important than legacy media platitudes. Sign up now to say informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Ever meet a Gambino?

Few years ago I was in a pizzeria with a date in Glen Rock right down the street from where I was living.
Big muscular guy with a suit (jacket on seatback) and a huge briefcase was at the innermost table.
She wanted to go somewhere else. They had gluten free options. That was the last time we dated.

Deb!!! Was thinking maybe she'd like it too.

I need an auto-correct that can just type what I'm thinking...
Actually, that would be bad. Sooooo bad. Forget I said that.

I was a few years too old to learn how to type. Never learned since. I've always had arthritis in my fingers.

There needs to be a new word, typo doesn't quite cover leavubg out an entire f'n word!

“Half the people there I never KNEW existed.”

Who was the woman we were talking to last night who likes dogs who I followed last night. I've long seen her like your music.

My Dad's Dad was a Dodgers fan.
My Dad was a Dodgers fan.
The Dodgers abandoned Brooklyn, & my dad.
The land for Dodger Stadium was acquired through the forced eviction of a Mexican-American community under the guise of public housing.
My dad started taking me to Shea in diapers.

I can't guarantee that I'll always come up with clever (kinda clever? clever adjacent? not stupid???) things to say, but I said I'd like to help, I meant it, and so I will. 💙

Utmost respect for Paul and Stevie. And you and @heidimswheidi.bsky.social. You're going to shatter my image of myself. Heidi has me listening to Kelly Clarkson from a game show, and now Taylor Swift. You won't tell anyone will you?

I just asked Heidi about that... You didn't see it, but the way you go on about Survivor, I mentioned to you that I'm beginning to wonder what I've been too snobbishly missing.

I am so jealous. 🤣

Meanwhile, what are you doing to me with this Kelly Clarkson music? I have to admit, it's kind of catchy.

I may have allowed my inner music snob to accept anyone from American Idol.
Is there anybody else in your esteemed opinion that I should look into?

Wile E. Coyote's ACME Sales Rep @crankyoldcrackpot.bsky.social · 2h

OH! - Look at what I came across just in time for your new sccount.
