One of the wonderful things about tWBS is that he would notice when we had a gap in posts and quickly fill it (Zombie Phrasing!) with a short post to get the conversation going.
Will the Tank Talk continue between Moose and Brick?
Will Brick show us his infamous “Porn Shelf” of books from his library? Btw, I’ve taken advantage of his offer to read excerpts from his books for a fee and lemme tell you, them’s good value!
I recommend the LBJ books. He reads in a stern yet gentle way that both thrills and titillates.
Is that 200 words?

Hi folks! Your friendly neighborhood mongoose here. I’ve got a bunch of Request Line playlists piling up in my warehouse and I need to move them right away to make room for new inventory. So I’m ready to UNLOAD them to you at INSANE prices. I’m offering this double set of “Superstitions” and “Loneliness” to you for the low low price of $12 (plus shipping and handling). It’s a STEAL!
This section here is quite eclectic. I haven’t rearranged anything for these photos; the books are in the exact order I placed them there way back when, through whatever reasoning was going through my mind at the time. So what do we have here?
I grade these by whether I’ve read them or not:
The Los Angeles River through Dispatches: yes
The section of financial planning literature: browsed, absorbed nothing
New York Times Practical Guide . . . : didn’t need to read, already knew it
That leaves two items unaccounted for. First, between Dispatches and the financial guides is a thin booklet with no spine. It is this:
I got a fishing merit badge even though fishing frankly bores me. I’d rather drive the boat around. This pamphlet was published about fifty years before I was born.
Speaking of before I was born . . .
On the end there is The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. I read a different copy of this in college, because I wrote a paper for a girl with big tits in exchange for me being allowed to fuck her every which way I could, before, during, and after I was writing it, and she was a grad student too (ask me about the other big-titted grad student who I wrote a paper for in exchange for doing the nasty and she is now the head of a big human-rights commission based in Paris). But look! There’s a Dewey Decimal System notation on the rugged spine! Is that a library book? It is!
I got that when I first came to L.A. and I went and saw almost everything. I’m wondering how much of it is still around (and a lot of the listings were of already-old places)
The barber shop thing is a trip. They only take appointments at the top of the hour and unlock the doors only then. You’re given hand sanitizer and your temperature is taken (94.8 normal for me) then when the haircuts are done they spend the next half hour cleaning and sanitizing everything meaning they lose half of their business.
I tipped very well.
I’ve decided to become a nun. Not the mean kind with the ruler, but the kind that just walks around like a kind old woman saying words of comfort. Here is my list of conversation starters:
Oh, my dear child, I can see something is bothering you. Would it help to talk about it?
Here, let me help. I can see your plate is full.
Have you seen Sister Act 2? Well, it’s not as good as the first Sister Act, but it’s worth watching once and once only.
I don’t understand why they haven’t made Jerome Bettis a saint yet, but it’s coming. Mark my words.
*From Detroit is the standing joke from that particular Superb Owl in which the NFL media mentioned it 1,364,476,576,498 times. Apologies if you are aware of this.
I need that cut so badly. My scalp is hurting from having to carry the weight of all this hair on the sides of my head . And the one or two hairs on top, as well.
had my second covid cut on the weekend. Mrs GTD did it as those places still aren’t open here. I feel sorry for my guy, assuming he’s about to open back up the place ( either allowed to open and\or is able to start it back up money wise) as he’s going to have to fix up whatever my wife did. Good thing i’m furry AF, so in a few weeks it will have grown out
