... It all comes out in the end ...

b1-66er: In FL--...When officers tried to detain Wang, she started defecating toward officers in an attempt to avoid being arrested...

D4rw1n: Hmm that's a shit tactic 

Better get the string...

b1-66er: "The likelihood your friends are line dancing is high"

Special K: More likely that my friends are high.

The quiet above all the tin...

b1-66er: Ms. Amusement/Accomplice

I fear for the future. 

NOT because I live in the world's most heavily armed country...

... but because, upon inspection, the Trader Joe's smoked mussels in my salad today are not from Korea...

... But rather Chile.

Ms. A: I'm on my way to TJs right now to investigate...

b1: Report back. 

(Be willing to physically defend yourself as necessary.)

좋지 않은 소식이 있어요...

They actually taste very good 

...당국에 신고하세요.

Ms. A: <pic>

Mine are from South Korea but  packed in Turkish oil. Yum

b1: I'm leaning toward inner peace. 

Thank you for your surveillance.

MS A: 🇰🇷

Rack 'em up

b1-66er: https://www.npr.org/2025/12/28/nx-s1-5651272/mass-market-books-are-disappearing-from-grocery-store-racks

...

D4rw1n: That's a great piece. I didn't notice when it happened that wire racks of books went away. But I did notice _that_ it happened

...

b1-67er: How about the Paramount Pharmacy magazine rack? Actually pretty damn impressive. 

66: I know. 

I actually bought two books from it.

67: I still have a surprising knowledge of marijuana horticulture (High Times Magazine), and continuing disappointment in CDs (high fidelity electronics) due to reading those magazines waiting to be picked up from work.

You can say that agian

b1-66er: 

Smokey: It's a Bad Day at Koan Rock. 

I think Spenser Tracy was in that

Or his brother Spencer Tracy. 

Dealing with the fronthoe

b1-66er: side note--

I actually received a TXT from Gumby today. First I've heard from him since the death of his mom...after repeated efforts on my part.)

b1-67er: What did he say? 

66: 

I'll call you back. I've never been busier these days. No one has gotten any calls back from me

My Xmas Eve Xlation:

Rejoice in being ignored like everyone else.

There's a part of me that feels deep/strong empathy for Gumby...

... And another piece that wants to see him crushed by a fertilizer truck.

67: He is in the position of having to deal with his mom's death and (I imagine) the disposition of his mom's house. And the prospect of a new baby. There's, legitimately, a lot going on. 

66: Okay. 

A Tonka fertilizer truck.

67: That's fair.
