I don’t know about you, but the need for outside contact has finally hit a wall. We met a friend in the park for beverages yesterday. I brought a cooler of beers, some plastic cups, chips & salsa in separate containers for four people, cushions & chairs. We settled into a corner away from other people, laid out the spread, and proceeded to spend the next 90 minutes acting like Europeans in a travel ad. It was a tad breezy, but no one seemed to mind.
It’s a far-sight better than the people who decided to brave social custom & venture out of town for the weekend. News reports have locals yelling “Shame!” at visiting tourists as they drove off ferries or walked as a family down main streets. Now, it’s quite wrong of the tourists to bring their phlegm to a foreign locale, but it’s quite another to do something that the rest of the tourism sector will long remember for years to come. I guess those patchouli candles just sell themselves, Ravensong.
In other news, we seem to have hit a wall with the tolerance level in the Beerguy household. Shit will no longer be tolerated, and punches have finally been thrown.
Really, there’s an entire bucket of toys. Why so obsessed over the same one you guys?

I’m in Los Angeles and working remotely in Quebec, and tomorrow (Easter Monday) is a statutory holiday. Apparently, the rest of Canada got Good Friday off.
I also got myself off on Friday. Kismet!
“… also.”
Me too, also.
Found a funny:
Even the great philosophers made mistakes. Aristotle, for example, believed that groove was in the brain
Mrs GTD is watching 90 day fiancee and omg are all those folks awful. Dumb as rocks and with about the same personality. And then add in the entitlement and total lack of self awareness, makes for some cringe worthy teley
How did you find my J-Date profile?
How many years did it take to grow that sweet ‘stache?

Old buddy and his wife came out for a socially distant drinking event this afternoon. They visited with the dogs, and we hung out on the patio and had a couple of bottles of wine, including a 1997 Barolo I had been hoarding. Got nice and lit, and drunk-dialed my nephew and told him and his GF not to get knocked up at this time, get another puppy instead; then talked to my cousin and her new husband who are supposed to visit mid-July. I guess I’m as light hearted as I have been in several days.
Just have to get out of the house once in a while. No one says you gotta go nuts, but there’s still the need for interaction.
A walk is good too.
I saw this movie in the theater back in 1970 or 1971. Don’t know why I just thought of it again. Only 2 bucks on Amazon Prime! May be where we are headed…
Has anyone seen the movie Parasite? Where at the beginning they are hunting around for a wifi signal to leech off? That’s my life now.
If you park out in my front yard, you can mooch off two wi-fi signals from my house; not even passwod protected. But I think that the distance from there to here might be problematic.
You’ve already guessed around ten of my passwords.
Several are related to a mix of fetishes Hippo is disgusted by and Archer quotes.
And Archer quotes about fetishes Hippo is disgusted by.
If you’re searching for wifi in El Segundo and see a signal called “Trumps tiny confused peener” IM me for the password.
Welp. I need to go get ready to face the work week…
Is your job “diatomaceous earth pool filter”?
Badger Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Time for me to cook something up.
Wait, wait, wait…tomorrow is Monday?!?!
Easter Monday. Resurrection Bugaloo 2.

No. No commute for me. But I may have to run to the store.
Also hanging grenades by the fuse pin is Hollywood at its best.
So I watched Molly’s Game last night, and I have some thoughts:
1. Anything with Jessica Chastain is worth my time.
2. Tobey Maguire (generally acknowledge to be Jesse Eisenberg’s “Player X”) is a major league asshole.
3. High stakes poker is a dirty, dirty world.
“Maguire plays the biggest role in Bloom’s memoir, and there appear to be elements of him in “Player X,” played by Michael Cera in the movie. (Sorkin even nods at Maguire, who played Spider-Man, with a line about the unnamed actor playing a superhero.) In the book, Bloom writes that Maguire once offered her $1,000 to bark like a seal and stormed off when she refused. However, Maguire didn’t take the game from her like Player X does in the movie — another player did. But Bloom writes that the actor was the one who gleefully called her informing her that she had lost her weekly game.”
Yeah, of course, Cera rather than Eisenberg. Getting my curly-haired moppets mixed up.
To me, the worst aspects of “Player X” had to do with (mild spoilers) recruiting a solid but mentally flawed player for the express purpose of getting him so far in debt that X would be able to buy a piece of his action cheap, and playing in the same game where he owns pieces of other players.
“Mild spoilers” sounds like we can still use the chicken.
Not after what you did with it.
Tenderized….. mildly.
He’s in a crew called The Pussy Posse. The card game is probably not in the top ten most asshole things he’s done.
Let’s avoid any pretense and just bring the bottle to the coffee table and set it in its rightful place right next to the remote.
Anybody’s mate acting a little weird in ‘isolation’?
Well there is this one guy, never really noticed him before, but now he’s got that crazy look in his eye. He doesn’t say much, just mimics my actions when I do spot him. And he seems to live in a weird room that I can’t enter and everything is mirrored…
No more than usual, wanted to know if I needed a haircut…
/nervously kicks rolled up carpet leaking blood behind the door/ Not anymore, why?
Well, same here except mine is leaking air and stuffing.
“What’s the count?”
“Well, he got the tip and two balls.”
I like the catcher’s immediate sympathy cover up.
Yes. What was the lady in the front row’s reaction? She was shielded from directly viewing the nut sack attack. That seems like more of a reaction than just one based on the hit(s). Also of note is the extreme lack of beer being possessed by the “crowd.”
“Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!”
We could have gone to the bottom gradually, but this jumps off the cliff.
BOOM! box
Dont mind if I do!
Sooooooo stoned.
I will be ready for tomorrow’s Webex.
Showing symptoms.
Those dogs! You made my day! Well… you, your dogs,the weed, and the 12 metric tons of Easter candy I have been shoving in my gob all day!
Agreed; the GOOD DOGS soundtrack just made it perfect.
This parmesan is very salty.
This courtesan is very haughty.
This mamma-san is very naughty.
