Random Thoughts

Anyone else feel kind of weird and awkward when you're the only patron in a restaurant or movie theater or something? If you go in at an off hour or something and it's just you.

I've coincidentally hit it a couple times recently and it got me thinking.

I think, based on the movies I've seen, that superheroes do far more damage than the kaiju, so superhero insurance would be more expensive.

I dunno, a lot of the more recent Godzilla films (the Monsterverse as well as other standalones like Shin Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One) suggest that kaiju are far more destructive.

[Ironclad Alibi]

Which would be more expensive, relatively speaking: kaiju insurance in Godzillaverse Tokyo, or superhero insurance in Marvelverse New York?

Yeah yeah I know, global warming is bad and climate change is slowly killing the planet on which we all live.

But it's February in Wisconsin, and I'm outside standing on the grass barefoot. I will never complain about that.

I ever get a custom t-shirt done, I know one joke I wanna do. Generic Chinese restaurant style artwork, captioned "Lee Ho Fook's, Soho London". See who gets it. Awooooo...

I read this as Necro-Wafers: the candy that when you eat it, keeps coming back to life again

[Ironclad Alibi]

Necco Wafers are, like, objectively the worst candy to me. I'd never buy it myself, it was sent to me in a gift box. And yet I've idly eaten an entire tube of the stupid flat rocks just sitting here.

I like Necco Wafers. I've been giving then out as Halloween candy the last few years. The kids seem to like them.

$deity grant me the resolve to recycle these shipping boxes this season, instead of saving them for a "next time" that will never actually come.

Current "I am a caveman" twitch: cripes, is everything USB powered now? Halloween deco? USB adapter. Plant light? USB adapter. Electric flipping toothbrush? USB adapter. Can't it just plug into the wall?

If there's a hell, the person who brought the German Yellow Jacket to America had better be there getting skinned alive daily.

/just got my yearly sting from one of those fuckers. In the ring finger. Owie.

If that situation were only half true, which would be worse?
- It is your circus, still not your monkeys
- Not your circus, but it is your monkeys

The latter. Because my monkeys mean I'm probably liable for whatever those monkeys are doing. I'm open to all kinds of legal problems, and those get expensive.

[Ceir]

A ponderance: we've probably all said "not my circus, not my monkeys" at some point. And unfortunately sometimes it is both your circus and your monkeys.

(The definition of 'worse' is left as an exercise for the reader.)
