Act 3 intro was just Spot onstage by himself and people boo-ed. They were shushed. But then there was an AI slop collage and I was going to boo.

It was odd in general. Failed in so many ways for all the wrong reasons. World class musicians juxtaposed with fake art.

It is important to know two things:

1. I’m not joking

2. The robot’s puppeteer is great

I text you from a techno-dystopian staging of Die Walküre.

Act 1 went well enough, drama, easing into the gas masks.

When Wotan came out in Act 2 with the Boston Dynamics robot dog (AKA Spot) the olds lost their shit.

You guessed right, neither! One is B&B and the other is fake Bénédictine.

Trick question, yes I know, how annoying.

But from what little research I did, it seems the aigu on the e’s came and went on old bottles. Even though it’s spelled wrong on the bottle of B&B.

Exhibit on counterfeit products in the French National Achieves. This one highlighting fake #Booze.

I didn’t know this old ad was designed to show off the unique bottle to help prevent fakes.

Of course you can tell which one it actually a bottle of Bénédictine, right?

My dental hygienist asked what my pin was. Briefly (for me) I explained the medieval tapestry it is from.

Which opened the door for her to talk about Harry Potter for the whole cleaning.

I did go with this Bill Sienkiewicz cover. Ups and downs otherwise but I really appreciate all of the Wonder Woman covers.

The obsession with true crime is gross unless it’s a comic book bear.

Rob Liefeld Captain America is stupid but Absolute Batman is cool.

Not taking questions.

My wife understands me as a person and loves me:

“Cool sticks if you want them” reads the text.

In a rare actual solicitation of my opinion, a restaurateur friend of mine recently changed his scotch options to fully independent distilleries.

It’s a bit more work for the bartenders, requiring clear communication with guests, but the moral superiority is soooo worth it.

Ginger, yes, I had to check the ancient texts.
