4.1.23

Kick the can!

b1-66er: <Wombo>

b1-67er: Is she disappointed she only has one leg?

Nightmare-ish

b1-66er: <Wombo Dream>

b1-67er: Looks like it was made with BAD Dream

1.1.23

And we're ... OFF TO THE RACES!

b1-66er: <Wombo>

b1-67er: It looks like Peter Max is winning

D4rw1n: Top comment of the year so far 

Fork U

b1-67er: [...] There is no napkin that is going to make me unhappy.

It's HOW you say it...

b1-66er: And THIS is how my '22 ends...
All happening as Scorpion Manor is warming from 66 to 70...
The Accomplice is watching 
PIÑATA MASTERS 
on Netflix.
There's a fair amount of high volume Spanish (much of it from children, whom I assume are captives, but may be nothing more than contestants) and LOTS of Accomplice emphasis...
{Example
phone: mmmerrmmerrmerr
A: You're allowed to pull on the rooster chain ONLY ONCE!
}
With these psychological underpinnings, I already know mom's obituary (due to my brother tomorrow) will be UNMATCHED.
WAIT ... BREAKING NEWS
"There's a girl whose family was too poor to have a piñata for her family so ¡SHE HAD TO RELY ON THE ONE FROM LAS POSADAS!"
So there's some deeper empathy in Piñata Masters
<pause pause pause>
"THE SPANISH FOR JELLYFISH IS *MEDUSA*!"
(And then she gestures with a thumb and two fingers pointed DIRECTLY AT ME ... which I can only assume is ASL for "a jellyfish is going to kick YOUR ass.")
Yes yes yes... 
Sociologically we are just ONE STORY away from interpretive dance of this TV show experience.
Lots of chuckling.
 Occasional WHOAs.
... One always hopes the New Year will be better than the last son of a bitch you just went through.
Perhaps this is the cue...
... Or maybe it is now impossible.
[As the most gigantic robin you have EVER seen perches on the newly painted bench outside. 
It. Is. Huge.
Yesterday our yard sculptor said, "I have never even SEEN a robin in the Valley."
Me  <oddly channeling my father, for some unknown reason>
 "Maybe we should feed it."
A: <sneering> "I'm not THAT kind of a bird watcher. That fucker is fat enough already•"
Happy New Year

Special K: FANTASTIC. My fucking year is complete. I'm going back to bed. 

{Accomplice: I did NOT say "fucker." (everything else is reasonably accurate)}

The beauty without...

Smokey: Thought you might get a kick out of this.  My perpetual car.  Still driving the 1999 Toyota 4Runner I had when I started at Danger.  430,000 miles. When it sat parked for 2 years of pandemic working from home, the sun baked the clear coat off it.  Sort of didn't care and at the same time it looked terrible.  So this happened...

Snore-y White is not a princess either

Special K: I've been doing this for years. I never knew there was a name for it. 

b1-66er: But...
... I've seen you snore doing NSDR.

K: That's sleep, then. 

b1: I KEPT TELLING YOU THAT.
AND YOU have me some crazy Indian answer about "next wave of sleep" 
And "ALL the Yogi Masters of G do it."

K: Your genius is reconfirmed. 
This explains how I used to help the kids with their homework while "sleeping."
