Sorry, I thought the title was descriptive enough, probably should've added a content warning or mentioned the essay/passion angle.

It was.
I thought "maybe this will be an interesting perspective that helps me see things like NOPE WE'RE JUST GONNA RELIVE IT ABORT ABORT"

Today I was reminded of my redneck roots. My uncle got an airgun suppressor (because they are unregulated so there is no paperwork/waiting time/government involvement). Most airgun suppressors will also work on .22LR, which is why they are something of a legal controversy.

So my uncle thought, well hell, if it works on a 22, surely it will work on my 5.56mm AR15! The threads even fit the barrel!

So, anyway, now he is the proud owner of a hollow metal tube with an open end.

:rofl:

I've been asked to join an improv show on New Year's Eve. But the venue has an ad that states:

Must sign up and be present at the bar no later than 9pm. Show starts at 10pm and winner will be announced at the end!

Uh...Wut?

So I contacted the person hiring me and asked if it was still on. I got this back:

We're set for NYE, 10pm show, followed by a drag show. I'll send out the RO tomorrow. It'll be easy short form games. The Club Owner is interested in booking a Jan show too. Is anyone available Friday the 13th or the 27th?

I guess we're the opening act for an amateur drag show. This will either be incredibly fun or an unmitigated disaster. Either way it'll be interesting.

Oh, and Zach has to be at the airport the next morning as his flight leaves at 5:45 am.

Regional Help Wanted continues its war against Daves with new commercials that start NYD. So, in honor of our resident @Dave, here they are branded for Omaha.

If anybody cares enough, here's where you can find the version talking about wherever the hell you happen to live: https://regionalhelpwanted.com/spots/

I have to send this to my boss. I think he'll get a kick out of it.

Is that okay? Or to post it to Facebook? Is that cool?

While my brain was booting up this morning I was watching some...fanime on Youtube. I really hate criticizing independent artists, but some of them are REALLY bad writing wise. The crappy animation I can stand, they don't got no time to be perfect, but if I see another pseudo-pilot about a generic japanimated high school with excess swearing I'ma lose it.

On that subject though, I miss the FUCK out of Xin Session and Life point 1 studios. Lip Syncing could get crappy as all fuck, but it was a damn good web-show.

Yesterday in the mail I got a copy of Architectural Digest magazine. Yes, it was addressed to me and said, "Welcome to Architectural Digest!" like I now have a subscription.

I have no idea why they sent it to me.

This is just a theory on my part, but we already know magazines will sell their subscriber lists... what I think, is a magazine that is having a hard time getting more subscribers will buy a list from another magazine, then start giving people on that list "free" subscriptions temporarily. That's a double whammy, because they hope some of the people will decide they like the magazine enough to continue to pay for a subscription once the free one expires, and it also allows them to report higher circulation numbers, which increases (or more likely, maintains) the rates they can charge for advertisements.

Spanish station's PD brought her new grandkid to work to show off. Says "His name is Michael but I call him Brazos."

I had to bite my tongue HARD to resist my immediate, overwhelming impulse to say "Why, because he's slow, brown, and smells funny?"

I'm really gonna get myself into trouble one of these days.

I'm 90% sure I'd have misheard that as 'Brazzers' and been like, "Well, people do name kids after where they were conceived..."

Heh, I wouldn't blame you, but this entire area is known as the Brazos Valley, we're in Brazos county, and the only nearby river is the Brazos river....

Actually, it's kind of impressive you recognized the pronunciation (it's very close to Brazzers, Brazos rhymes with "razz us" or "masses"). We can usually identify folks what ain't from 'round here because they say "bray-zohs" or something similar, with a long O. So good on ya.

Kind of like how up in Colorado, people who live in Buena Vista pronounce it "Byewny" and immediately pounce on anyone who says "Bwayna."

My brother's brother in laws all named their sons "Texas" names...

Dallas, Austin, Travis.

One finally said, "If one of us has a girl, are we going to name her Old Dime Box"
