Ribeye in the sky

D4rw1n: I'm starting to feel that Arby's may be overextending itself

b1: I'm starting to feel...

... I may need A REAL COUNTRY STYLE RIB SANDWICH•

D4:Arby's is possibly emulating Checkers and Rally's in this regard. Judging by the Checkers commercials, they appear to be trying to maintain more menu items than the possible maximum number of daily customers. Though I've never eaten there, this seems a flawed freshness strategy to me. I do not want to eat any item where the restaurant's daily turnover of that particular menu object is an average of one

Where the line squiggles

F3mb0t: What was the best thing about your NV border tour with b1-67er?

b1-66er: That's a good question.

Probably just laughing with him.

Our lives are a little too serious.

I'm a little too mean.

F3: That is a good answer.

22.9.21

Wait. Weren't we just here?

Moore is less

Special K: Julianne Moore is 343 days younger than me.

b1-66er: Shows how overly long February is.

K: Exactly.

16.9.21

"Very good, class. Next, please use the word 'approximately' in relation to 'Transportation.'"

b1-66er: Just for the record, the DPRK are now claiming they've launched missiles from a train...

...... But, to be a threat, the train has to actually GO SOMEWHERE, right?

D4rw1n: I'd have thought they only had approximately 1 train. Namely, Kim's personal train going back and forth from his country home to the capital

Pretty risky to launch an ICBM from your personal transport. But pretty badass if you pull it off

It's a very Bond-villain look. Which is what I always assume he's going for

In the pinch

Special K: Beautiful specimen.

Mommy, why is the dust on Mars red?

b1-66er: "Martian Colonists Could Use Their Own Blood to Produce Concrete, New Research Suggests"

D4rw1n: Proving the inverse of the old adage. Turns out you can squeeze stone from blood

I don't see my drink!

The Accomplice: Sitting in Costco Optical, and it's darn busy. The man sitting to my left announces to the crowd in general, "When is that cocktail waitress going to show up?!?"

The biggest lie ever told

Special K: I've said all I will say.

Death finds a way

b1-66er: Here we go!

D-U-M dumb

b1-66er: "Smart Glasses Made Google Look Dumb. Now Facebook Is Giving Them a Try."

Mr. Crypto: They don't just make companies look dumb.

9.9.21

Good. Now gimme a G#!

Special K: Another massive 'performative reorg' at work today. VPs and Directors flying around from organization to organization. A long email names about 25 people I've never even heard of (of course). Net effect on most people is the same as always: nil.

7.9.21

Ready, aim...

b1-66er: How's Smokey?

Blow Smoke: Well all of California is on fire. I am living in a swimming pool.

I earned that Smokey moniker

b1: Maybe NOW you see how "unusual" your original CO declaration¹ was.

BS: No. I was right back then. I flew through smoke to land in Colorado Springs. The captain came on and said "if you smell smoke, that isn't the plane. All of Colorado is on fire with the exception of the airport. Thank you for flying the friendly skies"

b1: I've never heard anything like that.

Maybe I should be paying more than $15 for a plane ticket.

What do they say now?

"The planet is doomed.

We hope to see you on another United flight soon.

Have a nice day."

¹2 decades ago. He claimed it was unsafe to travel to Denver because of a fire in CO Springs (90 miles away). I believe, but am not sure, that everything he's ever known is either currently on fire, or will be by the time you've read this.

I am now a fan of Swamp Dogg...

(Don't) Eat Your Disease

b1-66er: Mayo Clinic

"Some research suggests that intermittent fasting may be more beneficial than other diets for reducing inflammation and improving conditions associated with inflammation, such as:

Alzheimer's disease

Arthritis

Asthma

Multiple sclerosis

Stroke"

***

b1-67er: Stroke is the zinger on that list. Interesting.

***

F3mb0t: Yay!!! Gotta love science. If you are keeping meticulous records, you might be able to sell the research.

66: Interesting thought.

When I think MS, I don't automatically think...

MONEY IN THE BANK!
