  • We need to make it slang everywhere!!! Now!

    It needs to become so standard that one day an old man will call his grandson a goober and the whole family will be mad at him. He somehow missed the memo.

    Also, later seasons of the Andy Griffith show will be up to 100x as funny.

    People will be watching this old show and then suddenly the goofy vagina character shows up as a permanent resident.

    I love this.


  • I imagine a terrible, awful future Forest Gump remake.

    “They had these camps that helped folks with their concentration or something like that. They said I was a shine-ning example, so I got to meet the president of the United States, again.”

    “They tell me this guy is the best example. Got treated, got rich in shrimp. What a guy! Our camps are great, the best camps in all the world.”

    Camera pans to Trump shaking hands with Kim Jong Un.

    “In Korea, everybody got these pic-tures of their leader on the wall. We got those in Alabama too.”



  • I don’t know what the hell is wrong with me. Probably childhood abandonment, abuse, and neglect.

    My poor mom tried, she really did. She was abandoned, abused, and neglected too. A lot of things that would have seemed absurd to a healthy person were normal for her so she tolerated a lot and expected a lot. She suffered so much as a kid that whatever idea she had about family, she was sticking to.

    I have no close friends and I LOVE it that way. I wish I didn’t.

    Being alone is my favorite way to be. I can’t move in any direction in life because of it. Fortunately my wife wants me to be a stay at home dad. She isn’t crippled like I am and she loves me anyway, thank goodness.

    I remembered this and googled it. In my mind there was a video, but man. It’s been a crazy 8 years.

    “When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocket ships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless,” the ever-gracious Trump wrote in 2022, “and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, ‘drop to your knees and beg,’ and he would have done it…”

  • God I miss my job.

    More than 20 years of peace and I took it for granted. When the boss started talking about selling the place I thought, “Who would buy this outdated hole in the ground that makes no real money and is surrounded by competition?”

    What bums me out the most though is that when I was 16 he said, “Come work for me. In 10 years I intend to retire and I’ll lease one of these places out to you and you’ll take over when I die.”

    I knew it wasn’t happening at the 11 year mark.

    Don’t be loyal. Jump around. Don’t throw your life and time away. Everyone I know who has ever made any money did so by selling their skills to the highest bidder.

    I helped someone else get everything they ever wanted and I got nothing but promises.

    Don’t do that. Seriously.

    (I should have made this its own comment but yours is the one that moved me to write it. The speech is directed mostly at OP and anyone else who stumbles onto it.)
