Animal style - grrr.

That’s nice that your family can afford them. Back in the 60s, my family couldn’t.
- Comment on Who is your favourite Superman? 1 day ago:
I was waiting for Indian Superman.
- Comment on Living the dream 1 day ago:
For me, it was bananas. I love them, but as a kid, my mom wouldn’t buy them, because she thought they were too expensive.
As an adult with a good job and my first apartment, I would pass bananas in the grocery store, automatically thinking they were too expensive, but one day I noticed the price, and thought “That’s not expensive, I can afford that,” and I bought bananas for the first time.
That was decades ago, and now I buy bananas on almost every grocery trip.

Some interesting suggestions! I’ll get to exploring! Thanks brother!
- Comment on Metal genres 3 days ago:
I’m not really into metal, but I dabble a bit because I like great guitar playing in any genre, but I appreciate your stance. I’m like you, but with other genres like Classical, Jazz, Blues, World Music, and Classic Rock. There are a lot of gatekeepers in those genres, and I like to guide noobs past them, and into new music they can love.
- Comment on Been there 6 days ago:
I once quit a job after 2 hours of my first day because my roommate called and told me that the job I really wanted called to tell me I got it. So I said Adios, and left.

That reminds me, I have to sharpen my guillotine.
- Comment on No weirdo's please 1 week ago:
It would be great if the current GOAT bagpiper (I mean, I don’t know who he is, but there must be one) dressed in a pink wetsuit, and posted a performance on YouTube, without saying a word. People be scratchin’ their heads…
- Comment on No weirdo's please 1 week ago:
Finding someone that can play the bagpipes is going to be the hard part.
- Comment on No weirdo's please 1 week ago:
Well, apparently someone did, and he picked one up for just such an occasion.

Imagine being a fish who gets caught by a human, and gets yanked out of his dimension and into an entirely different dimension, almost an opposite world.
Then the alien tanks the hook out of his lip, and throws him into the air…and he lands back in his own dimension, gasping for air.
Or, perhaps the alien takes him away…
- Comment on This was a real thing and it "makes smoking easy" 1 week ago:
I never smoked because it was just too much effort. This would have made all the difference, if I’d known about it. Alas, all those wasted years without the pleasures of a good smoke.
- Comment on Do people still wear these caps in the water? 1 week ago:
I still see one now and then. It might look odd to someone younger, but I saw them so often as a kid, that it barely even registers when I see one.
- Comment on Creative and Inspiring building design 1 week ago:
Eye. Right.
- Comment on Not stealing 1 week ago:
My wife was waiting for me by the exit of Target with my infant son, and a lady rushed up with her cart, a baby in the baby holder, said, “Here, watch him!” and ran in the rest room.
I walked up, and saw my wife with another baby, and said, “We can’t afford two, we’ll have to return one,” and she told me the story. I thought it was hilarious, and couldn’t wait to meet this woman when she came out of the bathroom.
She eventually emerged, and thanked my wife for the help, and I said “You weren’t worried about handing your daughter off to a stranger?” And she replied:
“No, she already had one, I knew she wasn’t about to steal ANOTHER one!”

If I’d known, it would have made all the difference…

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

ATM Machine
- Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records 2 weeks ago:
Locker rooms aren’t the only issue with trans athletes. Most of the real debate is about having people who lived half their lives as men, having a distinct athletic advantage over women.

That’s called a Turtle skirt, because it barely covers her snapper.
- Comment on It slaps tho 2 weeks ago:
I put down a slice cheese first, that seals the bread from anything wet, like sauerkraut or condiments.
- Comment on Now I finally get it 2 weeks ago:
When I was about six, and discovered science and space, I got really into it. Pretty soon, the religious stuff I was hearing in Sunday School wasn’t jiving with the real science I was learning.
Where was Heaven? Where was Hell? Have scientists seen it? Do they know where it is? How can there be such places? If things like ghosts aren’t real, then how are these creatures real? I had another 100 unanswerable questions, easy, but they were unanswerable because there are no answers, because the entire thing is bullshit.
I knew that the minute my frustrated father finally just blustered “Nobody knows the answers to your questions. You just have to have FAITH!” And even at 6 or 7, that was it for me. I heard that for exactly what it was - it’s all nonsense, we all know it’s nonsense, but we’re going to pretend it’s real, and call it FAITH.
Well, not me. I remember becoming an atheist at that very moment in time, and I’ve never heard anything to change my mind.
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, we’ve seen this over and over, where he says something heinous, and all the MAGAs claim that he was only joking, and then we find out our later than he was 100% serious.
He’s 100% serious about this. Everybody thinks those cases about Jan6 and the stolen documents are over, but they aren’t, they’re just waiting for him to not be president again. He knows that once he is out of office, there is about a 100% chance he goes to prison for life. Before 2024, he had a shot at at house arrest, now he’ll be lucky if he doesn’t get the death penalty. Life in prison would be a gift, one that he doesn’t deserve.
So he will do ANYTHING it takes to stay in office, because he has to. Martial Law, suspend elections, election fraud, flat out refusing to abide by the the election or the Constitution, etc. He will choose one, or all of them.
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 2 weeks ago:
International sex trafficking rings have been Hollywood fodder for movies like Taken, for as long as there have been movies. As a human population, we all believe that something like this goes on somewhere.
Now we find out that it was going on for real, and people like Trump, Epstein, Casablanca, Brunel, and others were operating it. Instead of demanding that all of them be rounded up and prosecuted, MAGAs just dismiss the whole thing, even though it was this child sex trafficking ring that inspired their involvement in the first place.
It’s like they got to the bottom of the rabbit hole, and decided “Eh, fuck it, I’m cool with it. Carry on.”
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 2 weeks ago:
And the Treason. Never forget the treason.
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 2 weeks ago:
Remember this: When the Revolution/ Rebellion/ Civil War comes, he will demand that those world leaders support him in his war against American Citizens…
…And they won’t be there for him. They will likely support the resistance, giving them weapons and financing, and perhaps even troops.
When push comes to shove, they will happily bury him.
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 2 weeks ago:
Just telegraphing one of his future plans to shit on the Constitution.

Red Hat = Hatred
- Comment on Why is "mythology" in the public domain in the first place? 2 weeks ago:
Most works published before 1930 are in the public domain. It happens automatically. Next year l, it will 1931. So being thousands of year sold, mythological stories have been public domain for many years.
