In the dream I was driving a brown C3 Corvette convertible in the snow.
The radio weather report said the roads were
“Slicker than a honeymoon dick”.
Is that an existing vulgar phrase or has my degenerate subconscious outdone itself again?

Watching The Mod Squad on opening day and not believing it could actually be that bad. After, we went back into the lobby to talk people out of paying to see it.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Great. Our area is going to have these big Amazon drones whipping around delivering packages. I wonder if they’re loud*
Do kids still throw snowballs? For a cash payment could I pick the target?

Scam alert: Someone is pretending to be me and reaching out to authors. The pitch contains enough specific details that it sounds plausible at first.
This is not me! I'm so sorry to anyone who has fallen for this.

Sometimes I look forward to having home renovations. Then someone posts something like this and I just want to live in our house as is until I die of old age.

CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami.
She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.
