I think Kermit works best because it brings him back to his original role on The Muppet Show as the director trying to stay sane among a large group of weirdos. He was essentially the straight man on the show.

We follow Kermit (Ranger), Rowlf (Kermit's Companion), Miss Piggy (Barbarian), Fozzie Bear (Bard), Gonzo (Sorcerer), and Animal (Druid) as they go through a dungeon. They battle Sweetums (Ogre), Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker (flesh golem and its creator), Statler and Waldorf (2-headed giant that argues with itself), a swarm of chickens (one of which starts following Gonzo around), Sam Eagle (Eaglebear -- "I am NOT an owl, I am an eagle!"), and every shopkeeper/merchant they meet is ALWAYS Scooter ("Wait, didn't we run into you back in that swamp town?" "Oh! That was probably my brother Skeeter. Yeah, we get mistaken a lot.")
And then, at the end of the goofball adventure where Kermit is screaming at the camera like Daffy Duck in that vs. animator cartoon, the viewpoint pulls back and we see that the GM is...the Swedish Chef. It makes sense, after all, since he's the only one with actual hands to be able to roll all those dice.

I was on the train to half-work today, this dude stumbled a little and almost dropped a bag, and as an obvious curtesy I asked "Are you good?" to which he replied "If I wanted to know what you thought, I would have asked", like twice in a row. The weirdest interaction.

Old guy at the supermarket a couple of months ago. I was going in and he was just finishing up unloading into his car. I asked him if he'd like me to take his cart to which he angrily replied, "Get your own fucking cart!"
Okay, you miserable old shithead parked in a handicapped zone because you can hardly walk. Have fun taking the cart to the corral.
Who am I kidding? He just left it there.
I'm sorting through my GoPro footage tonight. A lot of stuff recorded that hadn't been sorted into their own folders.
I completely forgot that I haven't done a single thing with the footage from my Lunenburg trip back in August 2021. I keep meaning to make a video like "10 Things I Learned From My First Bike Tour" or something. I feel like 3 years is maybe too late for that? I don't know.

It is emphatically not too late!
I'd be interested. If I can ever get my schedule figured out, I'd like to do some light touring, and I'd appreciate your insights.
I just realized I could break up each chapter or lesson by what I learned at each point in the journey. Like, show footage when I was in Chester, and what I learned there. And do the lessons chronologically.
I have a new hot subordinate this week, he's a guy from the Czech Republic and he's joining my team as a translation editor. Coincidentally, today I'm wearing a t-shirt that my wife bought me when she went on a trip to Prague with her family a little while back. My shirt says "Prague" and prominently features the Prague astronomical clock, so my new coworker was all like, "Hey, Prague, that's my city, cool!"
Anyway, the reason I'm telling this story is to share that I got to say—out loud, in real life, and in an appropriate context—the sentence, "Yeah, my wife went to Prague and all she got me was this t-shirt."

I suppose you can take as long as you want, so long as you don't learn thing #11?

I had fried fish and after I ate I chewed some gum. Then a piece of fish that was lodged in my teeth came loose, and I now know that fried cod and sweet mint is one of the most horrid combinations of otherwise good flavors I have ever tasted.
Am meal prepping greek lemon chicken with potatoes and baked pesto salmon on carrots and string beans.
Omg that’s a horrible thought. (Although my arm looks like that’s how they operated on it)

He's not wrong, but bear in mind this was a very small, crank operated "chainsaw" that was very different from the giant timber-devouring monstrosities we have today.

Fun Fact: Unfortunately, Chainsaws Were Invented for Childbirth
Although childbirth remains a difficult, often stressful experience for mothers, the advent of opioid medications for labor pain relief and the use of appropriate sanitation methods has made childbirth far safer for mothers than was possible during previous periods in history.

Guess I'll toss this "Leatherface as a midwife" fanfic, then.
Every time someone brings this up, hand-cranked or otherwise, I can feel every inch of post-childbIrth me screaming, "This is not a "fun" fact! THIS IS NOT A FUN FACT!"He's not wrong, but bear in mind this was a very small, crank operated "chainsaw" that was very different from the giant timber-devouring monstrosities we have today.

Wait till you read about what they used before the invention of the tiny vagina chainsaw. Remember, this was considered to be a vast improvement that greatly increased the chances of survival for the mother.
I just learned that my ex's cat passed away. I believe she was about 16 years old.Not sure where else to put this. My ex is trying to raise funds for surgery for her cat. If I wasn't working out my own debt, I'd help. If anyone can spare something, it'd be much appreciated.

I sometimes joke with a friend of mine if the roles were reversed throughout history what insane shit female doctors would have done to our junk like male doctors have to women for thousands of years.
