Incurable smart-ass. Incredibly masochistic sports fan. Scientist in a former life. Just as opinionated, but not nearly this chatty in person.

Sadly, this pic will just have to stay in the frequent rotation.
The phrase "Your conclusion is based on your data. Your data is NOT based on your conclusion." is displayed over a heavily used lab bench.

About as close to literally this as possible:
The infamous dril Tweet of "and another thing: I'm not mad. please don't put in the newspaper that I got mad.

Looks like I brought a knife to a gun fight here, (especially that Encino one, woof!) but I'm posting it anyway. The Cincinnati one in Kenwood. Shares a parking lot with a Verizon store and a David's Bridal. And don't even THINK about making a left out of there.
An overhead view of the Trader Joe's parking lot in Cincinnati, near the intersection of Montgomery Rd. and Kenwood Rd.

Anticipating the inevitable Hoosier response:
An altered Gadsten flag says "Tread on Me Please Dear Super Rich Daddy" underneath the rattlesnake in bondage gear and trademark Red Hat.

A hardbound, bright red, thick-assed copy of "Molecular Biology of the Cell" (5th edition) rests innocently on a counter top.

Always has been.
Copy of a Tweet by "Vess" stating: It's like if idling your car 24/7, occasionally produced solved Sudoku puzzles that you could then exchange for heroin.

Watching a historically underachieving program rocketing to the top of the college football mountain in two years (while my historically underachieving team just keeps on regressing to the mean):
The "CONGRATS" kid meme. You know the one: sullen kid in his nice clothes with the words "congrats, happy for you, nice" written across his snazzy pastel button-up, contrasting his surprisingly intense scowl.

Looks like I have to tap the sign. Again.
The sentence "Your conclusion is based on your data, your data is NOT based on your conclusion" is shown in front of a picture of what some might consider a messy lab bench, but just looks well-used to most.

Gotta say, I look pretty damn good for someone with such "mature" musical tastes. 5261 songs over 485 genres (which seems like way too many to even exist) and an age several decades off. Ouch?
A graphic from Spotify wrapped saying "Your listening age 74 Since you were into music from the Late 60s. You're an old soul.

They want catahoula images? Give 'em catahoula images.
A picture of a catahoula "leopard dog" which is the state dog of Louisiana and presumably a good boy who does NOT deserve the association with these jackboots.

As I'm literally making pie crust and cranberry sauce now.
A person says "I do not like that thing" as a group they are outside of gives him a thumbs up and proceeds to ignore them.

WELL EXPLAIN THIS TO ME, ASSHOLE!
(notice the dress socks and khakis)
Yes, I took a picture of this nasty bastard at 30,000 feet. Because who knows, maybe in a few years you'll get to shame 'em online.

Very hasty editing job by me, but it still gets the point across.
Darth Maul holds his double-bladed (spoiler alert) light saber. The upper frame has one blade lit with "I believe in free speech" above it. The lower frame has both blades engaged with the same " I believe in free speech" above the previously illuminated part, and the word "BUT" emblazoned above the newly lit second blade.

It hit him right in the hands!
The eyes of Big Red, the Western Kentucky Hilltopper mascot can't believe what he just saw, either.

Interesting timeline synergy here:
One post (it will be a cold day in Hell before I call it a Skeet) reads "Did you see Welles performed on Colbert last night? People are loving him, not realizing he's a grifter." And the very next post says: "Wow! Jesse Welles performed his song 'Join ICE' on the Colbert Show last night."

Again, for the bajillionth time:

It's like a satirical writing stamp of approval.
A screenshot of likes on a post, featuring the NY Times Pitchbot liked my post.

The fact that these two comments are next to each other but not a response to the other is interesting (but like in a gave me douchechills way)
One message reads "The next JD Vance" while the very next message (I refuse to call them 'skeets' for multiple reasons) says "Straight Outta Middletown Township."
