Single speak

The Robot: 

VISIBILITY HINDERED BY FROG!

b1-66er: "The homeowner says she's upset and that they just built this house about one year aog"...

SO upset she can no longer spell 3-letter words

Special K: I'm agog. 

You maniacs! You blew it up!

Special K: (pic)

b1-66er: I wouldn't go star gazing tonight if I were you.

K: Oh baby.

A life worth dying

b1-66er: <pic>

***

The Robot: Nice! Any side effects?

b1: Gummy mouth.

Oh, you mean from the shot...

***

D4rw1n: Made me want to claim mine 

I've resisted thus far, because I am confident that the generous "every day for the rest of time" policy will cause me to ingest more than one day of empty Krispy Kreme Kalories 

b1-67er: You better believe if there was a Krispy Kreme in Salinas I'd be in trouble.

So Coronavirus, on average, reduces your life expectancy by one year -- no matter who you are.  I wonder how much a Krispy Kreme a day reduces your life expectancy?

D4: Much more I'm guessing 

I can feel the years slipping out of my grasp as we speak, just looking at the damn picture

66: The bigger question, in my mind, is how much happier will it make you?

67: That's absolutely true.  

***

Special K: Great great great.

Nice plating.

Are you side-effecting?

66: Sore arm only.

I'm using it as an excuse to do NOTHING.

So I'm saving myself (and others!) by vaccinating...

... Killing myself by what I eat and not exercising.

K: Balance in all things.

f3mb0t: Yay - enjoy!!  They put TWO in my post-shot bag, and did not charge me for the strawberry smoothie I ordered with it.  

66: WHOA!

WHOA WHOA WHOA!

THAT'S how you get a customer for life.

As long as...

1. Your customer doesn't die as a result.

    =&=

 2. You still have a business after giving away so goddamn much stuff.

f3: Yup.  I am not really a fan of donuts, but I could not pass up a freebie.  I got on the KK website and let them know about the unexpected kindness, and they sent me ANOTHER coupon for a free donut.  They are running their business in a customer-centric fashion, which is a nice change to see.

Former Meat Man: CELEBRATION !!!

b6: Very much so.

THAT is the spirit•

When Blitzen isn't enough

b1-66er: The accomplice had a dream last night that Pickles said her new baby was going to be named after a Kraftwerk song, but didn't say which one...

Otto Bahn seems like the obvious choice...

Das Model seems less likely.

Trans Europe Express is a little more scary.

b1-67er: If it's a girl it could be Musique Nonstop

66: So true• 

I hadn't considered ...

I'm going to suggest that as a possible name.

Kometenmelodie 2 is awkward because:

1. No Americans can spell it.

2. Yanquis have yet to stretch their minds far enough to understand a '2' when there is no '1.'

BUT, you could call her Melody for short...

...Which is both pretty and nice.

And switch to Comet when you're drunk (or in the Xmas reindeer spirit).

Search Strip

b1-66er: My favorite new-to-me band name is on this delicious poster...

Bad cop / Bad cop

If ONLY they were as good as their name (which they can't POSSIBLY be)

Wait!  I might be wrong.

https://youtu.be/LYWpFs8Na9k

b1-67er: The energy is right. Did Joan Jett have a kid?

D4rw1n: My (highly subjective) review of Bad Cop / Bad Cop:

Lyrics 4/10 for being didactic 

Video 7/10 for being really good

Music 6/10 for very danceable but maybe a bit derivative 

Overall feel 8/10 for being some kind of: (badass + likeable voodoo)

Above Average Cop / Above Average Cop

Verdict: Would go to their show 

Are you SURE you don't wanna gimme a discount?

D4rw1n: Found by my brother in the windshield wiper cowl of my rental car

<Fired Luger 9mm

In situ 

(Windshield wiper cowling)>

b1-66er: Oh geez!

Crazier than a turtle!

What city?

D4: DEN

It is a very weird experience. Unsatisfying because it implies a story but does not tell it

b1-67er: Denver, the assassin capital of the US.
