Cheap trick but I respect it.

I dunno but personally I'd be embarrassed if I were you.

I'm in the new Happy Gilmore in case any of you wanna brag that you're buddies with a rising star in showbiz.

My old man, who's been moshing in the great pit in the sky for the last decade, must be stoked that Ozzy is finally headlining.

Went for a walk and then stopped into a bar for three beers. A walk and three beers cures all that ails me. I cannot muster a shred of existential dread in the wake of a walk and three beers.

Absolutely devastating day. Went to get my beloved chicken salad sandwich from 7-11 (it's good fuck you) only to discover it now has a sticker that says "New AND Improved" and of course it was not improved. It's so much worse. What's happening to this nation? This is the last straw.

My buddy is an engineer and actually kinda helped send Katy Perry to space the first time so I think I can play a role in this

Panko is how it starts. Eventually, I fried some chicken breast in crumbled pork rinds and decided that I had flown too close to the sun.

Today's book club dish prepared because of this line on page one of A SHORT WALK THROUGH A WIDE WORLD. (I couldn't find prawns so it's just shrimp. And it's not soybean paper, I got what I could get. Fuck you, it's close enough. Also, for anyone wondering, the book was aight I guess.)

"Oh, nah, not feelin this one, I think I'll ski—" (immediately is dragged into the depths of Abaddon by scorching claws) This is my fear.

One thing being a landscaper has taught me is that perhaps the male loneliness epidemic is real, even if my particular group of buddies has managed to avoid it. Multiple times a day, a neighbor (not even a customer) will come out to offer me a water and beer & just wanna talk for like 10-15 minutes.

Also, and idk precisely how, this is an accurate representation of how I feel about these United States of America this Independence Day.

It's 100 fucking degrees and my fucking employee called out so I'm doing 15 fucking lawns by myself so if anybody has a pool and or a cold fucking beer let me know I will be by in a bit.

I stopped using Twitter but I hadn't actually deactivated my account. At some point I should do that but before I do I want to make sure, for posterity's sake, to preserve my favorite dumb bit that nobody liked.

Dude swore to me he inspected the whole lawn to make sure there was nothing there. I immediately sucked up a ratchet strap that was laying in the grass. Had to climb under my mower and cut that shit out with a razor knife. This one's on me. I knew.

AJ! @funkyiambs.bsky.social · 19/06/2025
Dude from a construction crew approached while I was finishin my last lawn of the day. "Can ya cut the house across the street we're workin on? It's real high." I look at it. 2 feet high. "Yea, when I'm done here. Just make sure there's no tools & shit in the lawn." You can guess what happens next.

Dropped off both my zero turns for new blades, oil changes, air filters, and spark plugs (plus one needed the deck re-leveled). Currently sitting outside the shop debating whether to go in and discover what I owe for the bill or to just change my name, dye my hair, and abscond.

(Respectfully) we haven't "spoken" fuckall. We can make this shit look as unpopular as we'd like but it's not slowing and we are absolutely fucked until actual heads start to roll* *figuratively** **hahahaha

I don't even have notifications for texts. It's a better life.

How expensive could that REALLY be? Like, I feel like after a couple beers, 3-4 Home Depot runs, and a handful of back-and-forth texts with my engineer buddy, I could slap that shit together in a weekend for about $2k max.

I think what I've decided is that most people that go down that rabbit-hole are either fucking idiots, or they're very smart but are the kind of smart person that is too up their own ass to have any humility (rather than a smart person who knows they're still nothing but a flesh bag full of farts)

Nah, I woke up there after a particularly grueling bender and took some pretty wicked photos. My buddy Mike made enemies with the locals when he invented a Mercurian slur so we had to bounce real quick and I left my disposable camera behind (this was in 2002).

This is Livin' Landscapin' LLC is running a very special Friday the 13th Special! For an additional 50% payment on top of your weekly lawn fee, I will detach one of my mower blades and use it like a machete to murder your peskiest neighbor!

I'm just operating on the assumption that everyone on here has pretty solid junk.

Had a dream last night in which I said the absolutely made-up idiom "you jerked off the dog at the orgy" (meaning—I think—"you did almost everything right but messed up one key detail") and, like, I and everyone else in the dream knew what it meant as if it was a totally common saying.

Currently busy ruining my own, will circle back later.

I should hope so. Otherwise, why bother being here at all.

One of my employees (good kid, he's like 23) keeps calling out and I'm about 90% sure it's because he's hungover, which on one hand, come on dude you're fuckin me over, but on the other hand, hell yea brother glad you're gettin after it.

AJ! @funkyiambs.bsky.social · 04/06/2025
For anyone interested, I am just handy enough to build this about 70% as well for about 90% of the price
An outdoor bar on Facebook Marketplace for $1250

A point I've made (not that this is particularly insightful) is that ANYTIME you use a tool to make your life easier, you're sacrificing part of yourself. A lighter instead of a match, ChatGPT instead of a phone call. Same thing. It's up to us as individuals to draw the line. I drew mine long ago.
