I’m not going to lie – even though I was prepared, the concept of “teaching from home” had both advantages & disadvantages that I have yet to fully measure.
First off, the prime advantage,
because not having to select a wardrobe for work is always preferable that having to just put something on to leave the house.
Also, I got to spend time with these two bozos,
which, again, is usually more preferable than spending time with people. Plus, I didn’t have to leave them alone, which meant I got to avoid the necessity of having to clean before leaving for work, because Lambeau can be a bit of a table surfer, and I’m always finding Kleenex in the brownest of places.
The one downside was the constant video-conferencing with people who don’t understand the technology. For every gamer on staff who has dedicated headsets or working monitors, there are people who insist on using their home Commodore-64 for the job because “work didn’t give me the technology to do this from home”, or they don’t want to go over their home data plans. Oh, and make sure to sit real close because you forgot to turn the volume up. I think I’m going to start wearing KISS makeup.
Also, know the range of your camera! I saw more of my colleagues brushing their teeth this week than I ever want to again. Also, their spitting methods practically justify why they are single.
Tonight’s … entertainment?:
There’s not a lot on that’s either new or interesting. Many channels are running genre marathons of things like Stars Trek & Wars, or baking, or “true crime”.

Evening. Beering myself.
It’s important to note that ten years after the 2009 swine flu pandemic that nearly killed my mother because of me indirectly (basically, why I want to kill myself after I get to a Super Bowl party and remember that someone … Whatever), the number of people that died of that disease is ten times the number that were originally said to have died of that disease. So we won’t know how many people are dying of COVID-19 for a decade if ever because it’s become policy of every country not to test people unless they are already in the ICU. So for all we know, ten years from now, there will be ten million dead of this disease.
Also, 1 billion people contracted swine flu. And we’ve only become more interconnected and stupider since then.
that which doesn’t kill us makes us stronger

Morbid obesity has its advantages
At this point It’s not a good idea to drink more, but there’s only a little wine left, and it’s certainly not going to drink itself.
And it’s not going to be any good tomorrow. Fight on, soldier!
Probably will be corked.
It goes bad. Everyone knows this.
Excuse me
NO ONE DENIES THIS
I’ve been planning ahead. Every time I go out i go by the locally owned liquor store, and buy two or three handles of whatever I feel is imperative. And everything is imperative.
what the hell is a “handle?”
Well, someone’s not an alcoholic around here.
A fifth is 750mL. A “handle” is 1.75 L.
i call that “a jug”
i just bought a jug of generic vodka that i’m drinking with government surplus frozen concentrate orange juice and ice that was scraped off the back shelf of an old freezer. i’m drinking it out of a tin cup i took from a florida prison. judge me.
I’m judging you positively. I wish I was smart enough to do it that cheaply.
Bottle King or nothing!
My friend’s neighbors are throwing a block party keeping the neighborhood up at night spreading COVID-19. He is not happy.
My neighbors are all getting high and spreading pot smoke everywhere. I’m feeling kinda mellow.
Smoke through the mask. THC kills the self-preservation instinct.
This is going to be an extinction event. I’m glad I met, even if only virtually, all of y’all.

I like that 2017 is up there twice. That’s how I know it’s a local meme.
I walked out on the balcony tonight at 7:00 PM exactly and we made music.
Music, people.
I was banging my cast iron skillet and that’s a heavy motherfucker.
And we had drums and pots and music,
Every night at 7.
I like your post.

Got sidetracked from my Australian 4×4 trip, dug into this instead. Mucho recommendazione, if you like the old Motown sound.

Bonus: narration by Frank Pembleton/Raymond Holt/Andre Braugher. I can’t believe this has been out for almost 20 years and I’ve never heard of it.
Apparently, they solved the “Undertaker is too old to wrestle” thing by filming the match in a graveyard like an 80’s action movie climax
This is terrible. End it.
It was at least funny to start. I was hoping they’d start doing super obvious shots with a stunt man.
It gets better. John Cena and Bray Wyatt are going to have a cinematic match also.
Plus, why in the hell wasn’t it in Undertaker’s WrestleMania Graveyard?! IT WAS RIGHT THERE!
That just made me want to watch The Final Deletion again.
So I binged that Hot Roads series on Prime I mentioned last night. It was really pretty good. Makes you realize how good we have it here in fucking Disneyland. Last episode was about fucking Manitoba, though the other seven were about third world shitholes. Am I missing something?

Goal: drink enough booze to float the USS Gerald Ford, and see the rest of the world that I didn’t see in the last 60 years, before this fucking virus gets on board and kills me, or the isolation drives me mad.
I need to make my mask so I can go to the store or just downstairs to do laundry.
I shared mine.
I cannot for the life of me understand the context or quite what she says in the video. Don’t care, though.

Pie sounds good.
Doesn’t it always?
Damn good point.
Me too, unfortunately it is not within reach.
That movie with the above heart glasses would be cool.
Now that you mention it, absolutely. Sure would further justify Keith David’s refusal to put the glasses on. “I ain’t putting no rhinestone-encrusted heart-shaped sunglasses on, motherfucker!”
“It’s okay; you were in isolation with him.”
Not N95.
There’s a woman that takes her masking seriously.
Agreed, probably ‘ball torture’ too.
Is that Ariana Grande?
My wife took me on a cornavirus date this evening. Drove me out for a picnic at the reservoir, (beer and oreos), the down to our basement, where our daughter had a club radio playing and we shot pool.
The thing about marrying women you meet in bars is that you damn near never win a game of pool.
Here they had to put sheriffs at the trail heads as everybody was going to the parks and the entrances looked like a concert.
Of course downtown was a different story.
If I die from COVID-19, its because of assholes like this.

When one of these mega-church congregations becomes a incubator for COVID-19, do we get to say that this is obviously God’s judgement on their sinful lives?
It is apparently less sinful, than ……sin.

They already have become incubators for it
Guess I ought to bookmark this; I have a feeling I am going to be posting it a lot over the next few months.
Unfortunately the kill rate is not 100%, they take others with them, and they use up valuable healthcare resources from those that are not superstitious dipshits.
Yeah, there’s definitely going to be a lot of unfortunate and unnecessary collateral damage. Being in South TX, I’m relatively certain that I will be amongst said damage.
I hope not; try to keep the odds as low as possible.
And yet it’s a fucking mystery why black and hispanic communities are the hardest hit
It is no mystery that you are a fucking racist piece of shit.

I’m sure more than one will die, but you can’t blame COVID if you don’t test. Just ask the Chinese and Italians why there are twice as many people who died of unnatural causes as this time last year and yet none of those died of this disease.

Unlikely; it is far more likely that your white godsquadder friends will be responsible (see examples I have provided).

Finally getting around to watching The West Wing on Netflix. its legit.
I love that show. Enjoy the binge.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J1NHzQ1sgc
This is a great episode for all of the reasons why I hate the show and the characters.
The West Wing Weekly podcast just concluded recently, but the archives are still up — they go through one episode per show, in order, with interviews with the cast and writers. It’s co-hosted by Joshua Malina, who played Will Bailey.
I was dedicated to it at the time. They hosted screenings of the first couple season premieres with the cast at my university when I was there (but I never went for reasons I can’t remember). Now I think it’s just awful. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sorry, spaced out there.

I’m doing a Zoom session tonight with a bunch of people I went to high school with. Which celebrity should I tell them I hooked up with?
Brick Meathook
Freddie Mercury?
Kaitlyn Jenner.
If you go this route, follow it up with twice.
I was going to make that joke, but I didn’t know how to phrase it without it transitioning from lousy joke to offensive comment.
The transition is key to the joke certainly.
Allen Iverson
Donald Trump. That way you can say you also have money.
Doris Burke
I don’t know how old you are, so here goes:
Brigitte Bardot
Jane Fonda
Farrah Fawcett
Kathleen Turner
Sharon Stone
Kim Basinger
Monica Bellucci
Milla Jovovich
Jessica Simpson
Olivia Munn
That covers about a 60 year spread.
In Jane’s case, it’d be about an 80 year spread
Jennifer Lopez, then show your hand on camera
Rob Gronkowski is hosting WM and he’s dressed like a ski resort villain
It’s actually uncanny.
He looks like Dennis from “The Gang Hits the Slopes”.
Gronk gonna Gronk
Yeah but can Gronk ski the K-12?
Secret Agent Movie Ski Resort Villain or ’80s RomCom Ski Resort Villain?
Didn’t take long for dude to become a parody of himself. Actually, I guess he has always been a parody of himself.
The very same people who demonized women who wore burqas are now frantically going “HOW DO YOU MAKE A MASK?! HOW DO YOU MAKE A MASK?!“

So far during this evolution, the only difference I can tell between the workweek days and the weekend days is that I can start drinking right after breakfast on the weekend days.
Wait, so right before breakfast on the workweek days?
Because I do the opposite.
Signed up with a different email to watch Mania for free because the 500 hours of non-WWE wrestling that was supposed to be happening right now is not happening right now. Gonna be shitty, but hopefully in a way that amuses me.
Just signed up for free as well. Time to call the bookie.
I can watch Once Upon A Time In Hollywood for free two nights ago or for not-free tonight. Canadia, you’re such a silly billy!
/psst! I watched it for free two nights ago.
Didn’t finish it. Got tired of yelling at the screen “Can SOMETHING happen?”
BOO THIS MAN
Howdy!
