Squirmin' with Irvin'

b1-66er: "People are done putting hearts on their windows and teddy bears out for scavenger hunts," said Katie Rosenberg, the mayor of Wausau, Wis., a city of 38,000 where a hospital has opened an extra unit to treat Covid-19 patients. "They have had enough."

Special K: Right.

b1: "If the spring was characterized by horror, the fall has become an odd mix of resignation and heedlessness."

... which leads us to Hallowe'en...

... the season of headlessness.

Special K: Great one. Love the title. 

b1: I thought there was a CHANCE you might not understand the title. 

K: I'm pretty well versed in the DB canon. Although I wasn't a big fan, they were huge when I listened to a lot of radio.

b1: Sure. 

I told you about Z, right?

He was learnin' guitar from kids in his neighborhood...

Z: "why do you guys know and play doobie brothers all the time?"

Drug head: "They live in the house right over there!"

Not OK computing

b1-66er: "Although vitamins K1 and K2 are safe, synthetic vitamin K3 is known to be highly toxic."

K3 is your new nickname for when you suddenly get bitchy.

Special K: Why not KKK?

b1: Special K!

K: K OK OK.

Pass the roųge, please

Special K: "Zoë Kravitz Glams Up as Catwoman, Colin Farrell Is Unrecognizable as the Penguin on The Batman Set"

Fall into the building

Special K: I woke up just in time to watch the Blue Origin launch, thanks. A very different vibe from the SpaceX webcasts. This one felt more like they were trying to sell me a condo.

b1: The Accomplice and I are both laughing. 

K: Heh. Did you watch? What did you think?

b1: I did not. 

I was having deep architectural conversations about the sociological impressions of what I call "the crunchy building guys."

(You may not know this, but I did not go to Princeton... my architectural lexicon isn't "far advanced.")

b1-66er: Which one?

K: Morgan Wallen, tonight's musical guest, to be replaced by Jack White.

K: Exactly.

K: Yes. A win for him.
