@how2wrestling.bsky.social #how2randyorton Orton is the only wrestler I have seen in the wild. I do real estate research in St. Louis and around 2014 did a double take at a guy getting his mail at a cul de sac. I was not sure it was him because he was wearing a long sleeved shirt and had pants on.

You might think that Frodo and Sam’s relationship is hella gay but Tolkien actually based it on the British WWI practice of gentlemen officers having ‘Batmen’ assigned to them to act as valets and servants in the military. Which often led to a lot of hella gay stuff.

My favorite bit of classic fantasy writing is Conan freaking out that the giant gorilla can see them through a window and the owner of the house explains that it is actually a series of mirrors reflecting the image from another room and Conan just nods and thinks “the foulest of magics” to himself.

Conan the Cimmerian does not have time to hear about your cool surveillance system.

Middlemarch is so good, guys. Plus, if you start reading on New Years Day that is how long it will take you to read it.

The ten year anniversary is coming up of the day I was working in a Washington U computer lab and a guy student a few seats down was telling a girl about this music group that nobody cared about at the time but wound up appreciated years later. Radiohead, you’ve probably never heard of them.

There’s a restaurant across the street and there is a car that parks there occasionally with a ‘blue lives matter’ personalized license plate that reads ACAJ and I have no idea what the J stands for. It’s not the obvious insults because of the plate branding. I hope it’s not ‘Justified’…
