Took @Squidleybits to the Costco food court for dinner. It's her first time! And she didn't grasp the sizes....
Also it's Freitag!
Also it's Freitag!
......I miss the wings.
An ice cream cone and a poutine.
No one tell gas. Just let him have a fun video without the curse of knowledge.
It's not as bad as most of the people you hear about. He's just a general scumbag creep. He used his fame to stalk and harass his ex. He later doxxed himself on Google maps making a sarcastic remark about if anyone can track him down they can borrow a cup of milk from his house (or something like that) and an autistic girl that was a fan thought he was serious and tracked him down. He then made more videos harassing her until she committed suicide, and then made more videos about the suicide (all monetized, of course).

Ok, the story made me look into it, and it seems to me it's not quite as cut and dry/intentional as Poe is making it out to be - but the whole thing is also not a compost heap worth the investment of turning over.
Best just consider it a song about friday sung by a weirdo and move on.

Here, let's use this one, instead.
It's Sunday. Time to forget about the shit from Friday. We need to forget it all. Let's go get shitfaced! Yaaaaay!

Me at the store: "Oh this looks like it could be an interesting crunchy snack"
Me at home: "This tastes like nothing so much as a handful of dirt sprinkled liberally with pool chlorine."
I wouldn't even call it spicy, it just literally tastes like... chemicals. But only for a second. When that passes, it tastes like nothing in particular.

If I may offer an alternate solution for a snack, I made roasted chickpeas tonight and OH MY GOD.

Next week is my wife and I's 31st wedding anniversary. We already bought gifts in the form of VIP concert tickets to go see Toad the Wet Sprocket, Vertical Horizons, and the Gin Blossoms. But I wanted to get her something to either be delivered to her work or I'd just take them there. If nothing else but to make the other girls who work with her jealous, as is tradition. But what do I get?
Flowers are tried & true, but they hardly last. I could get gourmet cookies or cupcakes. Or I could ask you guys what a good idea would be.

I read that initially as edible underwear. Which would not be good to deliver to her place of work.
Or would it.

You think it’s difficult to win the lottery? You have no idea.
There are 8.1 billion people on earth right now. Winning the lottery is 292.2 million in 1. So if you gave each person - man, woman, & child - a lottery number, starting at 1,2,3,4,5,(P)1 all the way to 65,66,67,68,69,(P)69 there would be 28 winners.

So you're saying there's a chance !!!!
Well, that would actually up my chances, they are at zero at almost all occasions.
The way I like to explain to people: there is a higher chance you'll be struck by lightning than there is you'll win the lottery, yet most people don't walk around fearing a sudden lightning strike.
Well now I do!
Here's another example. One drop of water is standardized as about 1/20ml (metric), or just a shade over 1/600th of a (USA) fluid ounce.
The odds of winning the multi-state Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in ~302.6 million.
To win the jackpot, you would need to catch one specific drop of water dispensed from a tank containing a hair under 4000 US gallons, or almost 73 barrels' worth at 55gal ea. For you metric folk, that works out to a bit over 15 thousand liters, which is a little over 756 jerrycans at 20l ea, or a little over three of these 5000l trucks:
