Oh yeah. And on day two? I tied a big-ass pirate flag and a hot pink fox tail to my cart. It was chaotic fun alll the way down.

/ ideas of what country/bluegrass/rock can be. I love that. I live experiencing new (to me) things, and helping folks do their thing, and …and …and. Just an incredibly awesome experience. Especially since I wasn’t spectating. Hell, they even pay decent(ish). Cant wait for next year. I am a convert.

I just had the BEST weekend in a long long time. I spent Saturday and Sunday , from 8am to 8pm, at #hardlystrictlybluegrass. Now, I’m not a big fan of bluegrass or country music. Some of it is ok, some is just twee bullshit. But #HSB is a lot more than that. And my job there was to /

I am convinced that anyone with any kind of empathy or goodness in them is destined to be a fan of Gail Simone. She is a truly genuine beacon for decency, humor, and mercilessly mocking the evil in the world.

Misread that as Dickle Pickle Poutine and got VERY ALARMED for a moment. Rereading it correctly didn’t really help tho. Why do people do these things? Soon. Soon we will have the ultimate form: Dill Pickle Pumpkin Spiced Bacon Infused Poutine. With extra foam.

Madcap. He’s NOT a hero. He’s completely insane, has Wolvies healing power x1000, can make other people barking craycray with a look, cannot feel pain (or much else), and would drive Mutina absolutely 100% over the edge. Which I personally would love to see.

Show vs. Show #reacher vs. #neagley Look, I like the Neagley show, and the character (annoyed they decided to make her “damaged” instead of ace, but w/e) It’s stupid fun. But it is unquestionably worse than Reacher. Why? Simple. Reacher knows it’s dumb fun. Neagley takes itself WAY too serious.

JWs came to our place. I spent a good 30 minutes getting them to explain their version of hell, and being confused why it seemed like not such a bad thing. On another occasion I made them stand outside in the rain while I stood inside and gleefully watched them moisten.

Agreed. Nightcrawler was my first “favorite mutant”. Still a VERY close second behind Longshot. Also, I just realized, you need (NEED) to write Longshot. Oh yes. Yes you do.
