Since the first installment was such a smash hit with the author, I am back to entertain myself some more. Almost 300 comments on the last one, about half of which were mine, so, this is a literal no-brainer. If you want in on this, you gotta drop me an email, so I can incorporate your rubbish ideas and claim them for my own share them in an equitable fashion. Let the discussions commence:
Let’s all be cool, even if it’s just for five minutes and twenty seconds.
I can’t help but think of my fellow glibs when I watch this video. Not only do we get to see just how nice a place can become with enough authoritarianism, but, we also find out some helpful trivia regarding the most interesting room in any house. Also, if you’re looking to be enlightened on a daily basis, maybe check out all the available knowledge on the Today I Found Out channel.
Does everyone around here know the story of (former) officer Tom Coleman? He, of the Swisher Sweets saga, in Tulia, Texas? Whether or not he is/was a racist asshole, he’s definitely a dipshit. That there are plenty of officers gypsy cops just like him around the country may be old news, but, it’s still frightening.
You can’t spell “sword” without words. And, you shouldn’t build a sword without sex toys. (Crusty Juggler, I’m looking at you)
CPRM casually brought up the idea of Subaru Horror Theater being animated, and, suggested that he could do it, if the $ is there. I say, fund that mutha! I’d drop some more coin to see it happen–who’s with me? C’mon; raise your hand…
Autumn is fast approaching–“Fall”, to the lazier among us. I’ve seen lots of love for this particular season here on this very site, which makes me wonder why that is. So, tell me why–what am I missing by not experiencing this time of year in your area? It’s nothing big around here, apart from being able to comfortably wear the new jacket and/or long-sleeve shirts I got during the off-season. That, the State Fair, and Cold & Flu season. *Yes, I know many of you have already given adequate justification for it. I’m just trying to generate some nighttime conversations, dammit!
Speaking of the State Fair of Texas…This is where you go to walk around for a few hours in lovely south Dallas Fair Park, buy over-priced crap, and try the best in deep fried goodness. Be warned, though, that it’s difficult to dethrone the King. Life isn’t complete until you’ve had a Fletcher’s Corny Dog and a Big Red. Rest assured, my non-meat-eating brethren and sistren, that they have a veggie dog, too. And, to be honest…I’m just hoping to get some of you down here and watch you deep-throat a fried wiener.
Still speaking of the State Fair of Texas–If any of you degenerates has plans to visit the Fair, or, wants to, I am nowhere near south Dallas any more (Praise Be!). However, I would be more than honored to be a tour guide/fifth wheel if you require. I can also introduce you to some of the best fajitas in existence.
I’ll end this with a shout-out to all the lovely Suzies of the world

Second! Wait, what?
First!
Holy shit it finally happened. DenverJ with a legit first.
He didn’t comment on the post….
It’s DenverJ. Show a little mercy.
? I’ll allow it…
Show me yer titties. Zenu comin’.
What are we really talking about here?
To shun: to push away.
/Kevin Costner’s first movie role
Do you mean Michael Keaton?
No, actually!
Son of a gun. I had no idea.
I really had a thing for young Shelly Long.
And then she destroyed her image when she played Olive Oil.
::looks around::
I’m gonna believe you are playing 8-dimensional humor-chess, Hayeks…
😉
Yeah, trying to see if anyone is as old as I am.
Shelly long was great in the Money Pit though.
Duvall, well, she was a ….handsome woman
Well, I doubt I am as photogenic–how about that?
?
The worst miscast in Hollywood history was her in The Shining.
And Fairy Tale Theatre!
Still remember Vincent Price as the mirror in Snow White.
TBF, Fairy Tale Theater had her in the title – she was the producer/idea/etc behind it.
I’m an idea guy, Chuck
Mine….?
I mean….I don’t wanna be responsible for that plague.
I like fall because I hate summer.
Yes, but
why? Why, Rhywun…por que???Because summer is hot and miserably humid, and I don’t like being cooped up in air conditioning. I like fresh air. Fall = fresh air.
Well…….YEAH!
Although, fresh air = allergies, sometimes. Not that Summer doesn’t bring its own troubles, but Fall is C&F season for many reasons.
What is this “allergy”?
You and your “health”…
Enh, I’m defective in other ways.
C’mon.
Come out to the coast, have a few laughs, get in the pool. And Hayek won’t even molest you because I know I’m not your type!!
/No Japanese executives were harmed in this commercial
Rhy, if you don’t take her up on that offer;
1) turn in your Glib card, just on sheer principals
b) someone will impersonate you to claim it.
Don’t be jelly.
Y’all are a crack up
YOU’RE NOT MY DAD!!
*raises hand hesitantly and remembers border, criminal record and soft swimming skills. puts hand back down*
Sounds like a helluva weekend there, Festus.
A Fall weekend…
In that era every weekend was a “fall” weekend.
FESTUS!!!!!
I feel like our summer was too cold. Only got above 80 a few days here.
I like autumn for many reasons.
It’s getting late, I should probably got to bed.
You, sir, are a TEASE.
The trees with the leaves turning are beautiful
The temps start dropping. I am most comfortable when the temp is between 65-50
A sunny, fall day, walking under threes that are dropping leaves on you is just…nice.
I love harvest. The smells and sounds of a crop being harvested is one of my absolute favorite things.
Playoff baseball
It’s fun to watch the migrating birds
Fresh roasted pumpkin seeds
Fresh picked apples
Wait, are YOU the reason all this pumpkin crap is out now???
No. Other than shooting out of homemade launching devices, the only thing pumpkins are good for is stealing their insides for roasting.
I like rolling rotting pumpkins down the hillside after Halloween.
Somehow my brain read that as “Fresh roasted pickles”
Ya know that is probably a thing at some State Fair.
I doubt you’re wrong about that.
Do you like November Rain?

What was it with the ‘80s and the Coreys? Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Corey Hart…they were all just, just terrible.

Leon bringing the strong pimp hand.
“OVER PLATES OF CHIMICHANGAS AND ENCHILADAS at Don Jose’s Mexican Restaurant in Waxahachie, Coleman chain-smokes Marlboro Lights.”
I call bullshit. I doubt even Texas still lets you light up in a restaurant.
Some do. More rural ones, and I can imagine Waxahachie was allowing it when that was written.
Now, try pronouncing ‘Waxahachie”…
He is one of the King’s Men.
I did it fine, really fast, three times in a row. Now you do it. Here’s a tip.
Where’s Chafed when you need him?
Oh, just you wait, Denver….just you wait.
Mother****er.
https://youtu.be/dscfeQOMuGw
I see you’re playing by your own rules now…
Touche`
That really was aimed at DenverJ.
I figured as much. Then again, i figured Chafed is his own man, and doesn’t play by “the rules”.
Oh hell yeah, state fairs are the good stuff. Can’t wait to go to one of those again and feast on deep-fried oreos.
I almost feel sorry for the fried Oreo inventor.
Digging that Fla’mango Tango
I’ve never been to a state fair. Always wanted to go.
If you ever attend the TSF, bring money. And, a willingness to try fried things (not sure about vegan options, though).
Oh, and be prepared to tote around tickets. It’s a thing…
Fall is the best season. The bugs calm down, the scenery becomes more scenic and the trout are in a feeding frenzy. Less tourists, the smell of autumn leaves and skies so blue that you could cut diamonds with them. It’s always bittersweet, too because you are made aware that everything is gonna be cold and monochrome for the next five months. *sets down ostentatious feather quill and removes fag mask*
This is how my Labor Day started.

We got to the finish line 7h 56m 04s later.
Were you guys dancing around on deck in shorty-shorts and trucker boots the entire time? That music makes me think that you were all dancing on deck in shorty-shorts and trucker boots. Where do you hang the glitter ball from and where does the DJ set up? Never mind, the poop deck! j/k dbl, looks like a hoot!
You sure you removed that mask, Festus?
Also j/k, and it does look like a fantastic time, dbl.
What mask?
whooosh
FESTUS!!!!
Awesome!!
It was, but so is your new avatar.
If you make it out this way let me know. I have a great place for us to get a drink, or three.
Absolutely, Colonel!
It was, but so is your new avatar.
Seconded.
Seriously, the sailing looks good.
And for hayeksploves’ new avatar, I think I’d get into trouble if I stated how much I liked it.
::nods contemplatively::
It is known.
On the water, in Hawaii, and not a single bikini in sight. I’m disappointed.
Why I like fall- day time temps are reasonable & night times are cool, rain comes back. Don’t have to run fans/AC and not quite heater weather. Working outside is pleasant, air is clean, insects are few. Start getting things cleaned up and put away for winter. Can burn again. Got a new leaf blower that I can’t wait to try and probably going to pick up a new saw too.
I don’t like- projects half started or not even started and the year is almost over, another birthday
Lawn stops growing.
They start growing again here, without needing to dump a ton of water, until going dormant for the winter.
Despite the reputation for rain, summers are usually bone dry and very warm to hot. This year was both mild and wetter than normal.
*Citation needed.
I, of course, am a meat popsicle, and like cooler weather. I’ve been rather surprised, though, at the amount of meh cast towards Spring on this site.
/note to self–remember to rent show-house before inviting Gustave over
No need, our house has many problems and I’m a terrible housekeeper. My dad used and still busts his ass every weekend and more on chores around the house. I, ugh, tried to ditch those as much as I could when I was a kid. Now I’m doing some of them.
/Remembers trying to ditch, too
::sigh::
Spring up here is the smell of a winter’s worth of dog shit.
Go on…
I’m the same. My body temp runs high so hot weather is insufferable. Cold, I can dress for that. After a few days of -30 you don’t really notice it that much unless you have to work on machinery or stand still for awhile.
Having lived the past 25 years of my life in Sweden and Minnesota, I’m adapted to cold.
But San Diego is still nice 🙂

Your title says you are a knight, but your words (and emojis) reveal you to be a knave!

Forty years later, I’m wondering why regular PAM was unavailable in WA, OR, MT, and Western ID
My elder brother and his buddy used to huff that stuff out of paper lunch bags when they were 14.
Autumn is by far the best season.
Crisp.
Colorful.
A perfect transition to winter. You can feel it in the air already and it’s glorious.
Nice work, Digby!
October in Minnesota is the best.
I’ll send you pics.
In Florida we have three seasons:
Summer, Hurricane, and Tourist.
Speaking of seasons…enjoy:

So funny! There were two classical pieces that I actually knew and loved. Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Holst’s The Planets.
Good memories, man. Thanks!
I was absent-mindedly expecting just that when I clicked on the link. But, I’m weird like that.
I was thinking of this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzXoVo16pTg
I think it was Mozart who said “Vivaldi didn’t write 400 concertos, he wrote the same concerto 400 times.” It’s pretty much true, with the notable exception of the Four Seasons. But yeah, you listen to much of Vivaldi, you almost have to be a pro classical musician or an autist to differentiate his 56th concerto from his 59th or 64th or whatever.
That said, if a business is going to put me on hold, I’d rather listen to generic Vivaldi concerto X than crappy muzak. Also, don’t interrupt every 15 seconds to tell me “we’ll be with you shortly”, I’ll hang on until the movement ends. If you can’t get to me by then, your system sucks.
^This^
https://youtu.be/6g4dkBF5anU
Why do you hate us, man?
Oops. It was Stravinsky who allegedly said that.
Whatever, it’s non-allegedly pretty accurate. And I say that as someone with a lot of Vivaldi concerto CD’s. In fairness, it was more about the “rules” of baroque music composition than any fault of Vivaldi.
Not Igor, was it?
Much thanks,
Mr. TTundra.I used to love to go to the state fair. For many years my buddy and I would ditch work on opening day and check all the stuff while it was new. You could buy a beer and then walk around looking at the cows and rabbits and Elementary School art but then they started restricting where you could drink beer and I stopped going to the fair.
Obligatory
“they started restricting where you could drink beer and I stopped going to the fair”
Silence, plebe!
You don’t know what’s good for you!
We used to hit the beer gardens until the cops got wise to us. Two buddies charged with DUI in one night put the kibosh on that bit of fun.
Not this? https://youtu.be/29DKkmZMTlk?list=PLEL_iTJt5Dm0X5m0vP-dKU_N2y0lkZnGW
Here in (most of) Florida, fall is December-February. Summer is everything else. Personally, I blame global warming, as Florida was never unseasonably warm prior to that.
Well, the colder seasons moved westward, into Biloxi.
::recalls first foray into Biloxi. In February.
We only change temps by about 10 “walk in the Moon” degrees between summer and winter. Length of day doesn’t change too much either. Tomato production slows down in Jan and Feb. One of the reasons I enjoy my Washington elk hunt is to experience fall for a couple of weeks.
Now, see–that’s how to do the whole seasons thing!
A friend worked out there for several projects and he mentioned to me that there were no weather segments on TV. Every single day was 82 degrees. If something like a storm was on the way then that wasn’t “weather” that was “news”.
As long as the Trade Winds blow life is good. When they fail……
The last big eruption sequence put Kilauea to bed for awhile. It was erupting w/o a break since 1983. When a southern “Kona” wind filled in the Vog would spread up from the Big Island. The locals complained mightily, but the air quality compared to LA/DC/NYC etc still was much better.
dbleagle – Glad the (literal) dark cloud at the start of your video didn’t trouble the boat run. I don’t know about Hawaii, but here, they can gather quickly and mess up any outdoor events.
Sir Digby – We all though MS could use the cool weather. It was a Democratic vote.
Mmmmm….good choice.
Your friend isn’t a comedian, or, puppet, is he?
You can’t have “slaughter” without “laughter”!

Dexter? Is that you?
Nah I just couldn’t leave that there.
re: Sir Digby +1 yesh
And, here I was, always thinking that Turd Ferguson was my favorite part (I didn’t watch those in first-run, for the most part).
At least, that’s what I told yer mother!
Anyone hear from that Outer Banks dude that was hunkering down for the storm?
Yep. He checked in. Sounds like it was pretty lively.
Lively?
Change the scene, alter the mood, electrify the boys and girls if you’d be so kind!
Still alive! Good to hear. His actual Island made my news feed.
This island?
Speaking of hurricanes, hopefully straff doesn’t pick tonight to drunk crawl back home.
Nope. Apparently his BTO argument was cut short and he actually made the last train, for once.
Yeah, best to just let it ride.
Is there a Saul Bass corporate logo that wouldn’t look good today? That man was a genius.

Nope.
Of course a lot more beyond just corporate logos.

It’s like they don’t ever even consider keeping themselves safe: It is inherently someone else’s job.
“Scary black gunz are scary!”
“God-emperor Reagan said so!!!”
Assuming the author is a conservative (almost certainly not the case) it would come as a shock to them that there are people on the right (should be more) who don’t deify him.
Go fuck yourself, swap creature. Take a plastic bag and do what your mother should have done years ago.
I like the phrase “Molon Labe” particularly because the words meant that Leonidas was inviting Xerxes personally to come take his weapons. He wasn’t asking him to send somebody to do it.

Yeah, see….they lost me. Two sins right out of the gate: 1) They used the ‘I am a gun owner and even I think….’ argument and 2) They used the term ‘common sense’.
Two dead certain signs of dishonesty.
They can fuck right off.
My avatar got taken in for his annual shave today. Twenty-five pounds of fluffy orange kitty gets reduced to a lion’s mane and a ridiculous pop-pom at the tip of his tail. He always drops a turd on the groomer’s table right at the end of the session. It never gets old.
I think I speak for most of us here when I tell you I am so proud of you for teaching him the importance of tipping.
Legit lol!
Oh, I don’t go for the cheap laughs, Festus.

Well, I didn’t know much about Second City!! I learned.
The real twist is that Happy Marsden’s Dad play’s “Blackie” on the show. That’s the one I was trying to link to. I go to the box and feel shame, now.

Is a translation even necessary?
OK, I starting to see the appeal of being an expat in Japan…
I don’t understand what in the living fuck that was supposed to be but now I have a incredible urge to fly an obsolete plane into an aircraft carrier.
In case anybody cares – that was a piece about celebrities becoming “cop for a day” to encourage people to drive responsibly and reduce traffic accidents.
WTF
By any means necessary, foam swords, boxing gloves and giant mascots included.
You’re making that up.
That’s the best part about having a reputation for knowing an unusual language. I can make anything up and nobody corrects me. (As long as Straff isn’t around)
He’s heeeeerrrrrreeee!
Or Sensei or a couple of the other nihongo speaking Glibs of various fluency. Unusual in that it’s close to supplanting English as the Glibs official second language at this point.
I thought that was Snark…
ding ding ding…
You have to really master the snort, and the scoff, when Snark is spoken.
I thought the “(as long as…” would make it clear.
And funny the timing – the exact same minute when Straff showed up below.
I’ve seen lots of love for this particular season here on this very site, which makes me wonder why that is. So, tell me why–what am I missing by not experiencing this time of year in your area?
If it wouldn’t be for leaf clean-up, I’d love Autumn in New England. The weather is just right for me.
I miss Spring in PA. Spring in New England is either non-existent or a waste.
They serve veggie dogs! Now I’m interested. How about beer?
OK–SD story time: Before yours truly was even contemplated, my parents went to said fair. Dad, being close to 6’6″ went up to one stand and ordered two Cokes. The “lovely young lady” handed him two beers (so, yes there is plenty from what I’ve seen), to which my dad objected. She starts to argue with Dad that he did, in fact, order beers, not Cokes. She then turns around and nags her husband to tell my dad that he did, in fact, order beers.
Guy turns to my father, looks up at him, and then said, “Get him the Cokes.” So, finally–the tall man wins for once. Kudos, Dad.
Fantastic. I’ll be there.

If you get good at throwing darts, you can probably clean up on rock/metal and blacklight posters on the Midway. At least, that’s the way I remember life there.
So, I’m here. Let the fun commence. (Until I need to go to bed to get ready for Football Sunday which now starts at an absurd 1000.)
Autumn is my absolute favorite season. I love the bittersweetness, the slowing down of nature, the smells, crisp weather, beauty, harvest, canning, and the temps.
I also love love love scuffing through leaves in the woods in my boots while hiking.
Unrelated: I’m thinking of starting a quick 2-5 minute podcast a couple times a week to talk about the challenges and humor of living with someone who is dealing with Alzheimer’s. There is so much that is heartbreaking and so much that is absurdly funny.

Seriously, I wrote a magazine article today (Dorothy Parker quote on with a slight edit to “I love being paid to write”), worked on a website for a client, fried up tons of delicious thin-sliced eggplant for panini, entertained my MIL and my husband, and now I have some down time.
I could eat that.

There is fresh mozz lurking in there.
Good news. The Packers already won. You can sleep in.
RIGHT?! Super fun!!!
I took a couple photos of my MIL wearing my cheesehead. Hysterical.
(Sorry, Swiss!)
I think that would be surpringly popular.
Yes! It would be therapeutic for our long-suffering hosts, as well.
Almost didn’t make it for this due to possible meds OD by my mom. Aunt was super frustrated, but, Mom did seem fairly lucid/un-loopy when I talked to her.
Otherwise, a trip to an emergency room an hour away for Lord knows how long.
Big BIG hat tip to Chafed for being prepared to deliver news in case that had played out.
So, I would probably check that out, SP.
I still haven’t been fully swayed to Autumn, yet. I guess I have too much of my younger self in my mind; reminiscing over Springtime
for Hitlerromance-type stuff. New life, and all that.That said, I’m getting there. I mean, I like Winter well enough.
Sorry to hear about your Mom, Friend. I didn’t think that Texas had real seasons. Isn’t it like dry, bone-dry, broiler dry and a week or two of hurricanes?
Crap. Sorry to hear that, dude.
My new way to handle this stuff (OK, been working on it for like 25 years), is just don’t care about people and it’s all fine!
Still haven’t figured out how to

Sorry about your mom.

About the absurd start time, I felt the same way after moving from the east. But I eventually came to appreciate a good breakfast followed by plunking down on the couch to watch football. Being able to see the entire Sunday night game and still get to bed on time is a bonus.
But, I’m a night person….
Although we do have brunch plans for tomorrow, which is nice.
Spring in Japan is nice but as previously mentioned here it is just the signal for the pending Hell which is Summer in Japan. Being a very warm-blooded beast winter here doesn’t bother me so Autumn is the best.
In addition, Autumn is the season when many Japanese venues open up outdoor beer gardens.

Am I right in assuming your name comes from Mitchell + Webb, Sir Digby?
Yeah, that was the original.
-changed to NOT a Naked Intruder over at TOS the day I got the invite here
-thought, “Well, I just changed, so I need to keep it for registration
-caught enough
shitflak to make me want to switch back (and, liking just switching things up every so often).-decided to see who else was known as “Sir Digby” and found the crest, of all things
-now, I’m just SD. For the time being…
It works!
I’m a big fan of David Mitchell and Robert Webb, separately as well.
It sorta is AND isn’t ‘Mitchell & Webb”, but I’ve watched Peep Show several times.
Had to get a Super Hans shirt.
I only saw the first season of Peep Show so far.
I think they’re all good, but that it does take a season or so to hit the stride.
We only had BBC America for a short time but I’ve been catching up on Youtube.
We actually had three satellite dishes hanging from the eaves of our former trailer home. Yep. White Trash.

Looks like i picked the right time to fold laundry, Not to stop sniffing glue, though.

And did you fold OUR laundry????
I would REALLY hate it if you were able to wear my threads.
That is a straight-up “poor, poor SP” situation right there.
But, yes.
I’ll fold your laundry but I draw the line at fitted sheets. I’m 3/4 of the way to my grave and it is a skill that I won’t even try to master now.
^This!^
Yep. I’ll still work on my chipping stroke til the day I die.
………sure.
Wimp.
Nope, just an obstreperous, stubborn moon-calf. I’ll check the video later.
Just watched the video. Fitted sheets shall remain balled up and chucked in the closet until further notice.
Just buy some deep storage bins for them. And/or switch to t-shirt sheets.
Way ahead of you…
Looks like it that part of the post–the Dark Night of the Glibs.
*Doesn’t apply if you’re currently in daylight hours.
Thanks again you Naked Man and the Goddess SP for providing such a fruitful bounty of larfs and merriment. It is indeed the long, slow journey into night…
Hey, don’t blame me. This is all SD!
ALL.
I do it for you, man.
And, when I say “you”….
Oh, man. My internet just went down. Total blackout.
Does anyone have the score to the Cal game?
Serena Williams lost. To a Canadian.
And, here I was, wondering what the hell happened to all the West Coast=ers.
Turns out, they lost their internet connection! Man, do I feel silly….
Vols had BYU cornered with seconds to go . . .
Here’s three things that you don’t see everyday. Today was special.

I almost want that as a triptych. Living room is a bit bare.
Explain the second one, please.
I guess it’s called a tougan. Google tells us: any of a variety of muskmelon vines having fruit with a smooth white rind and white or greenish flesh that does not have a musky smell.
Ah. Thank you.
Winter melon? I’m sure I’ve probably eaten it before, but didn’t know the name. Quick search shows it’s popular in Chinese food. Here’s a Japanese recipe for you vegans.

I like your style, SP!
No explanation needed. The butt sucked.
The bottom pic reminds me of this Engrish shirt
Which reminds me: I think I’ve found Festus’ Christmas gift.
Don’t read the t shirts. Love beautiful life forever goodness kindly.
Rude!
It goes with the mask.
There’s a graffiti out in my neck of the woods right over a train line. A single, four-letter word – “YUCK”. It kinda captures the spirit but doesn’t seem to be worth the effort. Maybe he thought an F-bomb would be inappropriate?
There was, back in the 90’s, some graffiti on a side entrance into a local mall:
Courtney is a male slute
It functioned as something akin to a mantra for my friend and I.
Hey Straff! I finally remembered where I bought a beer out of a machine on the street recently – there’s a string of them under the tracks in Yurakucho by Bic camera. IN fact, it’s a bit of an informal drinking spot for a lot of people when the weather is nicer.
There are some nice standing bars there and also in Kanda. Too bad 7-11 scrapped their plans to serve draft beer. Would’ve been a great place to go.
There are a number of outdoor tables in front of bars in Shinbashi – I like to hang out with a couple buddies and bring my own tunes with a pocket-sized speaker. As long as we’re buying beers we’ve never had a complaint from management.
And 冬瓜 is also the name of this Chinese guy’s YT channel.

straff; don’t EVER tell CPRM about that channel.
I can feature the steam coming out of CPRM’s ears.
If we’re lucky!
Can we
do itaccomplish the task, Festus?300 is looming, just out of reach.
THIS. IS. SNARTA!
I thought this was that pit at the edge of the city.
How is this guy not a Bond villain?

::blinks twice::
I……………..yeah. Yes, that is an excellent question.
Something about it makes me think BotP/Gatchaman.
And the lyrics for the music are not “don’t give me grumpy peanut face”. Disappoint.
That CM is on all the time. Can’t decide if I hate it or not. I’ve heard that he is terminally ill, so I’ll cut him some slack.
All right, kids. Off to catch some sleep before
more drinkingFootball Sunday commences!Ciao!
(And this was comment 303!)
Seeya. Go Vikes.
Holla!
Heh. Have to do the Sunday double-shift with a slight hangover. Yay me?
That’s not some kind of euphemism, is it? It sounds kinda awful.
Nope. Prosaic. Festus works two jobs on Sunday because he stays up all night on Friday hanging around on the corner with you lot, throwing the bones and singing doo-wop.
Aww, man…now I’m feelin’ all honored and shit.
You’re not operating heavy machinery, are you?
Well unless you count the floor-scrubber then no. I think i can handle a mop, broom and rag even falling down drunk.
My sweeping skills are indeed a sight to behold. It brings all the clucks to the yard.
If I see it, I’d be one of the clucks…
Damn.
I get so bored that I’ve started doing “Drumline” with the whisk broom. I pull around the garbage bin with me and just push it it to the next destination while I sweep like it ’tweren’t anything at all. The old ladies working there have their collective nibs on.
I like nibs…
Red super nibs are my favorite candy although the rubber shark movie did put me off them off them for a number of years. The Dairy Queen visit after the movie didn’t help much.
Heh. “Last” again!
#MeToo
Dang.
*kneels and holds sword out at arm’s length*
You magnificent bastard!
Losing graciously has become second nature to old Festus.
SUPER “last”!
