Finally the rest of you can see what I always see when I glance skyward - the blessed giant open-mouthed golden orb of hunger, consumer of the azure dead - hovering over us, ever-moving yet ever-mazebound. Happy Thanksgiving.

Ever wake up with a really stupid idea and you can't move on until you make it exist? (Art made with copy-pasting from stolen art, with minor unskilled Photoshop manipulation.) If anyone with actual skill wants to make a good version of this, feel free. 🙂

I have a fever and the only cure is more cowbell, but cowbell is considered a level 3 prescription and my insurance won't cover it without prior authorization so I have to spend 2 weeks trying a tambourine first, then fax a form from my doctor attesting that the tambourine treatment was ineffective.

Here's a photo of me as a baby, chilling in my baby desk mount while my Grandfather smokes a cigarette right next to my head - and right in front of a picture of Smokey the Bear. The seventies certainly did happen.

Replace any movie title in its entirety with "Mister Squidtits Farts at the Zoo" For example: "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" becomes "Mister Squidtits Farts at the Zoo" "Fried Green Tomatoes" becomes "Mister Squidtits Farts at the Zoo" "Amadeus" becomes "Mister Squidtits Farts at the Zoo"

Unpacking a box of decorations and uncovered one of the dumbest things I own...a clearly-officially-authorized book of Spider-Person stickers, interspersed with stickers featuring JUST THE LOGO from "Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life." I love this so hard.

New Mr. Do! High score - I finally broke 600,000 (pay no attention to the Pac-Man whatnot on my MAME cabinet, I assure you Pac-Man has no scoreboard and I'm not that good at Pac-Man. I am, however, quite decent at Mr. Do.)
