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

D4rw1n: I'm all in 

What could go wrong 

Said john Hammond before the dinosaurs ate everyone 

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.

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.

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.
