The viviparous toad croaks

Thoughts on Heaven and Bell

<Note to the reader: this posting contains, perhaps, the greatest concept/ line/ personal-passive-aggressive thought to ever appear on KTXT. It's been subtly encoded for your subliminal pleasure.>

b1-66er: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/taco-bell-employee-astounds-tiktokers-143815088.html
As opposed to this one, which is starting to walk toward the other edge of the food madness globe
...having said that, I eat entirely within the set described there...
...(& don't eat anything packaged, so coloring isn't a problem)...

67: This is right at the intersection of nutrition and psychiatry, the two medical disciplines I believe are the least figured out.

b1-66er: Yes. 
I didn't send you the article about the possiblity being blood-let by snorkel nose leeches. 

66: "Robotic pet companions were initially tested on adults diagnosed with dementia..."

67: Nothing like pairing someone with an automaton to enhance their grasp on reality.

66: Exactly. 

67: Looking at Trump's age group he has about a 6 percent chance of mortality on this.  Probably less, he is way above average on quality of health care.

66: I wouldn't mind seeing it do its worst...
If he does a Boris Johnson recovery, the evangelicals will come out of the rafters. 

67: Yeah I have very mixed feelings on this, which I'm not proud of.  It will probably kill someone in his entourage.
 If there is a God, Trump may indeed reap what he sowed.

66: WE FINALLY GET TO PUT MY "GOD THEORY" TO A TEST!
I pray the results are not ambiguous.

67: That's a funny line.

Watching the daze go by

Karpov: Learned days of the week in Spanish today, revelation!
Lunes must have something to do with the moon. ****, does that mean that Monday also is associated with the moon?  Yes indeed. I had no idea. 

b1-66er: GO KARPOV!
You're kinda doin' this whole life thing backwards, you know?...
... Most people get smart, THEN make millions...
... not vice versa. 

Kpi: Don't tell me you knew this. 

<note to reader: notice he doesn't deny making millions, which would be the obvious first play for 'normal' people.>

b1: PHUCK KARPOV.
I'VE KNOWN IT SINCE I WAS 13.
WHY?
BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN I TOOK SPANISH.

Sucking in green nuts with the President

Special K: (22:08 PT) The President tests positive.


b1-66er: Seriously?

K: Yes.

b1: NOW do you believe in Yahweh?

K: Same belief as before (whatever that was).

b1: אין דבר כזה
Special K at his bar mitzvah. 1972.

K: Whoa! What the heck is that from?

b1: What?
Come on, man. 
I figured out caffeine deficiency was jacking me up...
... AND I AM TOTALLY RAMPED UP RIGHT NOW...
...5 parts organic black, 1 part raspberry zinger. 

K: Why did you write that Hebrew? And the bit about my bar mitzvah? I think that’s even the right year.

b1: Because...
... THAT'S WHAT YOU TOLD SOLID GOLDSTEIN'S COUSIN AT YOUR BAR MITZVAH.
What? Do you think I'm going to ignore an early K report?
Especially with you and your newly learned flashy Hebrew. 

K: I thought I was SG’s cousin. Which cousin is this?

b1: WHAT? LIKE YOU'RE THE ONLY COUSIN OF SOLID GOLDSTEIN?...
WERE NONE OF THE LEVYS THERE?
OR SHAPIROS?
And what about the COHENS and PEROTINS?
And the FINKS.  The Finks absolutely were there. 
I'D KNOW, WOULDN'T I?
NONE of them?
None. 
Like I'm just "making this up."

K: I am eating pistachios.

b1: THAT makes me laugh. 
I'm going to have some too.

K: Excellent. One of my favorite foods.
At night I eat them to stay awake while watching TV.

b1: <pic>



Rubber filter - pleasing to the touch

Special K: "The latest health department records obtained by Forum News Service reveal there are only 22 available ICU beds and 248 regular inpatient beds in the whole state [ND], including zero in Grand Forks and just two in Bismarck."

b1-66er: Penthouse Forum?

K: I hope so.

b1: Well, when you started talking about beds...
... it wasn't hard to connect that dot. 

K: That is completely logical.

b1: And that, right there, is the precise the high water mark of my 'reasonable thoughts' this week.

K: You seem sharp through this filter.

b1: My point exactly. 

Maybe we could go to the PlayPlace afterward?

b1-66er: "Burger King thinks it deserves a Michelin star"

Special K: And a pony.

God created me, blame It

Special K: I attended online services for Yom Kippur tonight. I like that version, I don't have to get dressed up, or pay full attention, etc.
