My fiction is quirky.
It's kind, not jerky.
A fan-fic dabbler.
A blogging babbler.
An Austin Weirdo
(without a beard, though).

Heck herd whizzers splot flom!
It’s checkeredscissors.com!
Around that time, I think I was going through the Monkey Island series.

I played them in reverse order. I loved Day of the Tentacle. I miss these kinds of games.

For the Easter egg, iIn one of the rooms, there is a computer behind the door. Close the door. Start the computer. And you can play Maniac Mansion.

Did you know you can play Maniac Mansion in the sequel, Day of the Tentacle?

One of the most impressive Easter eggs I ever encountered.

So many good songs!

My daughter’s school did that musical. It struck too close to home given the current events.

The next year, they did Cabaret, which I had not seen. Again, another gut punch and felt all the feelings.

But, that’s why the arts are so important.

Go listen to Johnny Rivers sing about the secret agent man.

Problem solved.

I looked up the definition of "whelmed". To be submerged or buried.

If someone is underwhelmed, they are not buried enough? Or, is it like floating on the surface?

Was Jesus underwhelmed by the water?

Are people covered in sand at the beach semiwhelmed?

My Spidey sense tells me it has something to do with Fortnite.

I’d even settle for some still intact news.
