I like kung fu, reading history worse than current events, and telling stories.

🚨A technical error at the Texas Department of Public Safety has created a major backlog of voter registration applications, with some incomplete records dating back to 2025. If you recently registered to vote in Texas, now is a good time to double-check that your information is actually on file.

There was a book entitled 'King, Warrior, Magician, Lover' that came out in 1990 that was supposed to reveal the four masculine archetypes. But 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' came out in 1984 and Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo pretty much covered all the bases.

A fursona is the personality adopted by a sapient human as they wear the guise of a dumb beast. If God is to Human as Human is to Beast, then Joshua the Nazarene is the fursona of God.

Future generations will look on our jokes calling him "Circus Peanut" or "Rotten Tangerine" or "Sweet Potato Hitler" and write them off as political hyperbole and I want to scream at them from the grave: "NO I SWEAR TO YOU THE MAN LOOKS LIKE HE SPRAY PAINTED HIMSELF WITH POPSICLE ORANGE KRYLON!"
Can of Krylon spray paint, Gloss Popsicle Orange, that looks exactly the same color as the bronzer Donald Trump paints on himself every morning.

Clancy Brown, Keith David, and Ron Pearlman should do a movie like a modern day My Dinner with Andre where they go to Cheesecake Factory and try to figure out what to order

Middle school history lesson: "Most southerners didn't own slaves, but they went to war to protect slavery because they needed someone to always be beneath them." Me: "That's horrible!" Too many of the kids around me, apparently: "Always having somebody to abuse? I wish I could do that!"

What if you pronounce "Where's your wombat" like you're trying to diagnose uterine prolapse? Or you're a "conservative" getting all up in women's business.

What if as society collapses and more and more stores turn into Spirit Halloweens, that leaves the largest supply of clothing to loot when all the normal clothes become damaged beyond mending... Sexy Halloween costumes?

Used to write maintenance and troubleshooting for Army stuff. One of the things I noticed was how many miles of wires went in so easy making the thing. But replacing 'em? PITA. *I* never had to do it, but I had to watch the Army mechanics sent over for verifications.

Maybe mis-remembering, but in Star Trek don't all the crew members have knickknacks just lying around on desks and stuff in their rooms? So what happens when the threat of the week starts knocking the ship around and panels are exploding everywhere?

A Koan makes no logical sense and is supposed to short-circuit your brain and provoke enlightenment. For a moment, your whole being isn't and it's like your head exploded.

Thermidor is the French Republican calendar's made up name for August. Means burning month. Lobster Thermidor is named for that month because an important French Revolutionary battle. I've heard lobsters weren't fancy back then, so is it like naming a food "Flaming Hot Gettysburger"?

OR scrubs are green because it's supposed to be easier on the eyes after looking at red blood. Can you imagine a doctor at a scifi space station standing in front of a rainbow collection of scrubs going, "Dammit, I'm blanking. What color is Vorgovian blood again?"

A woman in the bark park last night, looking at my old, graying weiner dogs: "Your dogs' faces make me sad because my dog's face will look like that someday." The gummy was kicking in because all I could say was "Yeah," with the same lilt as an 80s sitcom teaching a lesson.

At the end of Star Wars, the Millennium Falcon shows up and saves the day. We, the audience, don't get to know that until the last second to ramp up the tension. But the rest of the characters in the movie had to have been able to see it incoming.

So if the idea of the "multiverse" holds true, then there is another universe out there where at the moment I had an angry thought about someone, they had a stroke and died. I mean, we're all walking around with a non-zero chance of dying on the spot, right?

There's a story about my grandmother when she was building warplanes back during WWII when she was the only worker in the whole dormitory who didn't get food poisoning. The nurse was flabbergasted that this woman was walking around when everyone else was puking their guts out.

I know how to simulate how it feels to have psychic powers: Make all special and hidden characters visible in Word and open a doc from a Boomer. Dammit, just use a page break, you don't have to hit the return key until the words go to the next page.
