Random Thoughts with BFC, Volume 16

Remember that old SNL sketch “Fecal Matter with your Host, Doug Fecal”? No? Yeah I figured it was just me. It was a solid (heh) talk show format with a specialized host and topic. Well, we ain’t exactly doing Pod Flies Open around here, but what about in written form, maybe say like a mix between Doug Fecal, Jack Handey, Balls’ 25 questions, Rev’s take on Larry King, and I don’t know, my own fucked up mind? With that backdrop I present to you the sixteenth edition of a potentially sporadically recurring irregularly scheduled Random Thoughts with BFC! Now also (occasionally but not today ) in open thread form! If you want to make this interactive, drop a note/question/bon mot in the comments ala my old Mouth Flies Open attempt at an advice column.

• It’s Wednesday, Memorial Day Weekend is coming up, and of course there are weddings to attend. I think it’s…fine to get married on a holiday weekend. A little selfish, but fine. I look forward to assessing the traffic and then being cranky.
• Did you ever think about how important spaces/kerning are? Getting waylaid isn’t nearly as good as getting way laid.
• (That was a BFC original)
• One of my biggest (work) pet peeves is when you ask someone if they have anything to add and they say “no, I think [3-5 minutes of something they added].” Just say “yeah, one quick point” or “no” and end your fucking sentence.
• One of my biggest SAFETY pet peeves / ridiculous trend I’m seeing around town is people using 4 way stop sign intersections to make U turns. I see it 2-7 times a week and holy shit is it unsafe every time. Assholes.
• Does anyone know how much Benicio Del Toro got paid for Avengers Infinity War? He was in it for like two minutes, and the hourly rate had to be astronomical. I hope he got points on the back end, too, that weirdo has earned it.
• As some of you may know, I rewatched Major League the other night, and honestly, my biggest question may be why were so many Clevelanders wearing their hardhats inside of a bar?
• In case you couldn’t tell, this is a Karen Carpenter job, so i reserve the right to come back and add more bullets and links.  Also known as U Street in the late 80s.
• Let’s once again close this with another full in the blank: “I was glad to see the Lakers get swept, but what i really wanted to happen was __________.”
