  1. My bad knee gives me a proclivity not to run, I may have it scoped and see if that helps.
  2. Notice how their parent network's ratings are tanking and some of the biggest shills are fading away... good riddance.
  3. I suggest a 4th definition: 4. A really crappy audiobook title by Audible. Q: Did you fall for that crap fest that was being promoted by Audible this month? A: Yeah. It was Aubade.
  4. Cassandras are never popular and are often fired or shunned. However, bad news is never improved by ignoring it.
  5. Safe spaces and curbs on free speech on college campuses only serve to infantilize students rather than mature them and broaden their horizons.
  6. Sometimes I'm demean. Other times I'm desweet. You never deknow.
  7. Why am I always struck with a paroxysm of creativity at 2am? I must be stuck at the very end of the good idea fairies delivery route.
  8. I put the pro in procrastination.
  9. This is a pet peeve of mine. Too many people write teen and YA character dialogue and inner thoughts as if they're hard bitten forty-year-olds. It doesn't ring true. I've noticed myself doing it and have figuratively slapped my hand numerous times for it. If there is a reason for a character to sound like that, fine. For instance, I knew a kid whose Dad was an NCO in the Philippines back during the late seventies, early eighties. He grew up over there and saw a few things. With him, it would be believable. Not so much from your average oversexed Nifty reader teen from the burbs. This might not be the thread for it, but if hit my not funny bone and I had to bark.
  10. There was an old hermit named Dave Who would watch CNN prognosticate in his cave Rather than deal with the aggravation Of their constant ego masterbation He unplugged the idiot box and his sanity he saved.
  11. I view my upcoming chiropractors visit with trepidation. He makes my spine snap, crackle and pop.
  12. This is what it sounds like...
  13. Speaking as a long time Tolkien aficionado, what Lex Luther Bezos actually did was akin to sacrilege.

    Chapter 5

    Seems they're spending more time trying to figure out how to not get sued than anything else. I'm told this is called chasing your own tail.
  15. Don't forget this Flounder.
  16. I have a slew of cats: five indoor Rambo, Cleo, Jeb, Rebel and Sonny and two outdoors Tigger and Sheba.
  17. The US Constitution is supposed to be inviolable, but too many of our current generations "statesmen" think it is simply a bunch of inconvenient suggestions.
  18. This appeared in my feed today...
  19. I've seen it played with cards - high card takes a shot, runner-up gets a bong hit. They called it Hammer-time.
  20. Dogs from Animals by Pink Floyd, 1977.
  21. As I've grown up, I've discovered that sometimes it's more entertaining to stay sober and watch others carouse. You miss out on the hangover, but remember plenty of embarrassing details.

    Chapter 1

    Blame the outsider is a tactic as old as humanity.
  23. When I travel, I do a Google search for bouquinistes in the cities and towns I visit. That's how I discovered Powell's in Portland, OR and The Opera House (Recycled Books) in Denton, TX. A book looses nothing, having been read once or a hundred times
  24. I tried to abnegate one of my stories and the readers talked me out of it.
  25. Put Kathleen Kennedy and her woke retard writers in Carbonite, we must, to save the franchise. Hehehehehehe! Damn Darth Mouse!
