Thursdays are my turn and I completely forgot because this week is an unrepentant monkey.
Random Thoughts:
-My dumb dog Molly tried to eat a turtle earlier this week.
-Canada’s men’s team won’t reach a semi-final of any kind soccer-wise for the next 30 years. That’s why this team should be celebrated. I’ll be so glad to be wrong on this point.
-Giants fans are so happy that Daboll and Singletary are reunited but the Bills running game during their tenure was nothing special
-Younger skull fracture boy is delivering/living in a truck that doesn’t have AC.
-I listen to the fantasy football channel on Sirius a lot and became increasingly worried about John Hansen(?) over the last year because he was losing the thread on a daily basis. He’s since been ‘retired’ from his morning show. Wish him the best-he said he’s 55 and it would seem that there’s some trouble there that he’s not acknowledging.
I’m done. If you want, you can still shock your monkey
Lancaster CA
That looks like where they shot the final scenes in Seven.

Used to be in the jukebox at Exit, which is gone, and Delilahs which is still going and a Bills bar on Sundays and the inspiration for my right tit name I think?
It’s not a super great song really, sucks about all his dead friends though.

Forgot about this one. Old school movies about heroin really have it all.

Think I have an EP of these guys somewhere, totally didn’t overlap

Maybe the most depressing song I know? Good, but depressing.

The 90s were weird, but everyone sort of got along, even country and grunge and why can’t people today just hate themselves? Not great for everyday people like you and me, but musicians, politicians, etc

I still get irrationally angry that anyone considers this better then Trent’s version.
They’re both good and it’s mutually acknowledged, like on record as ‘I was pissed he covered it until I heard it and he got it’ type thing
Trent deferred to an elder artist, but it’s till objectionably worse. Trent’s version had some actual skin in the game and it showed. Cash only had an old voice.
I’m not going to argue in loco artisto or whatever, like both and glad both versions exist, if they never actually hung out and chilled together, pretty sure they would have done so successfully. Just quality all around and I wish we were as spoiled for choice nowadays
The 90s are going to be Gen-X and older Millennials’ version of the “good old days” like Boomers have the late 1950s. Not saying it’s right or wrong, just saying that’s the vibe it seems to be gaining.
Every gen has it, whatever was different was better. Considering how shit stuff is now not entirely sure it’s wrong but do hope it’s all better in 10 years or whatever
Ex: Stranger Things. “Oh look, a Pacer!” Those cars sucked back then.
Shit food pretty much take a turn, culturally, when Clearchannel got the ’96 telecom act passed. It’s been all competition-free #contenting for them ever since.
Here’s a 20 year old aflcio post arguing that the media was a monopoly back then.

Need More Acid.
Loose flightless birds, 18-wheelers spilling their bread delivery on a bridge, possible human trafficking, heart attack, gunshots…
Flightless birds? Probably the crap ones like ostriches or emus and NAWT amazing penguins. Even though your ice football team is named that.
And the human trafficking thing? put the kibosh on that
That would be nice.
I’m pretty much cool with trafficking anything else, but how can you do that to people and sleep at night. Fuck them. Sorry you have to even tangentially deal with that.
The twist here is that the penguins are the ones doing the human trafficking.
This should be my karaoke song, don’t know why I usually do My Way
https://youtu.be/0VZuA7iJY4Y
Let’s all dance if we want to! (I am not dancing, I am sitting in a low chair)
https://youtu.be/BPgT9jabkqU
I didn’t realize Lowratio was in this video!
And just because people were being annoying and it’s just rude not to thank your robot

I’m a bit concerned about the amount of box wine I’ve drunk tonight, but I did just win a small amount of money in a poker tournament and seem to be spelling ok, also remember what I named my tits a couple days ago and those are probably good names. I think Brie was left? Totally forgot about the Johnny Cash song Delia, although that’s different than Delilah, but damn good song. There was a catalog of clothing in the 90s called Delias that was briefly popular
https://youtu.be/tl4OO73ec-M
Delia’s was still popular in the 2010s, according to Hermana Weaselo’s wardrobe.
I mostly remember a single catalogue that I circled tons of stuff in but didn’t get anything out of. Man, paper catalogs.
Two things from today where, if it weren’t Thursday could go in a future Wumbo column:
-All they had working on free Slurpee Day was dragonfruit. Sugar free dragonfruit. It was—well it was cold.
-The place where I had arguably the best burger in my life (the wasabi cheeseburger, though they no longer sold it probably because I was the only one who ordered it), the South Brooklyn Foundry, apparently closed down. Which sucks, because obviously we both loved the food if we wanted to be a little fancy, and they had a cool picture of the block and how it looked from like the 1920s. They also had a mean French toast croissant with chocolate for brunch. Attempts to pour one out were met with slight consternation from Senorita Weaselo because we would have had to cross the street.
Losing a favorite restaurant is like the step below losing a pet.
It’s three of our favs since we started dating, including the place she took me the first time I was in her neighborhood.
Dude.. that blows. Sincerely sorry.
I swear I just took a call from someone reporting he’s standing next to an ostrich.
The PD on scene comments: “Indeed there is an emu in the street.”
They caught Dee.
Don’t tell the Aussies.
Amazon Prime has put seasons 1 and 2 of the British sitcom Coupling back on, so I’m binge-watching and renewing my crush on my fantasy girlfriend, Susan:
Another THC gummy “overdose.”
This is that Troll Game temptation 2Pack was alluding to…
Shit, I’m almost out of Vodka. Time to dial up WCS.
And, of course, Microsoft’s online services shit the bed on the one night I need to work this month. I’m making another call WCS.
Great response time, WCS! Everything’s back working.
Figures this happens when I’m on a break.
Random thought:
What would it look like if Kamala Harris went on that YouTube show Hot Ones?
That should be the next debate. Truth or Dab!
Found a funny:

Coal Chamber featuring Ozzy, or Peter Gabriel for monkey shocking?
Normally, Coal Chamber can go and stay on Saturn for the rest of existence, HOWEVAH…
The concept of Peter Gabriel and Ozzy yelling at them is worthwhile.
To appease Balls, I’ll stay in my lane.
Moping tonight since pretty sure I screwed up the Amazon interview. Especially irking since it’s stuff I really should have done better on, and I even fucked up the stuff I really like. Not sure I want to keep pursuing jobs, either going full on with my startup ideas or pulling full back on expenses and semi-retiring. I don’t know.
Doing the startup would make the volcano lair a tax deduction, so….
So much for the bar crawl. Sorry to hear Dok.
Need a compliance/audit guy for the startup?
Stay with it a bit longer. Always darkest before the dawn. Start up as plan B can move into the planning and research phase as you look around a bit longer. I wish you well, I trust it’s close.
I can play corporate parties!
Last regular season game and camp night where a local camp brings all the campers to the game so loud in here. Tis awesome
Re : John Hanson
Isn’t that the Red zone guy?
If so, cocaine is a helluva drug…
How this Press Conference will end.

That was an awkward ending…
This whole situation screams “entitled arrogance“.
He totally reminded me of a guy from work that’s over 70. He is a nice guy although he can be a little hornery at times and was always pretty sharp. But he’s lost a step and can’t focus on more than one thing at a time. He’s started making mistakes he didn’t before.
I transferred him to another department.
On the day before he was due to leave, he came into my office with his immediate supervisor and said he couldn’t go because the people in the other department didn’t like him and it was going to be bad. He might retire instead.
I told him that was his decision but my decision was final. I have not heard from him since. He needs to retire.
Same with Biden.
Just tell me where Not MAGA is in every race and I’m there.
Yinz are stuck with me all night, so apologies in advance.

You need to start posting pics of Italian ladies with ample bosoms…
You’ve got like, twelve hours. Relax.
I’m just saying a certain Italian gentlePack that also hangs out here at odd hours is kicking your ass in that department…
I let the experts do their thang, and stay in my lane.
Alrighty, get with the Simpsons gifs then!
Henry Ruggs and Britt Reid are confused by this “stay in your lane” concept you mention.
Believe it or not, I’m also here at odd hours but I never think anyone else is.
No no… Swerve outside the lines.
I gotta go run. But I look forward to seeing what you come up with when I get back.
Yeah but I just checked… Nuthin good tonight… Little help?
There ya go
Elizabetta Canales is hocking ice tea on television commercials currently. In swimwear. Looking stunning.
Nods knowingly
I don’t like sausage, there I said it. In fact I can live the rest of my life and never consume an intestine encased meat product again and yes that does include hotdogs.
/yeah right scratches TAJ out of the inheritance.
Long ago, something about kissing an X-girlfriend in an inappropriate place.
She had a hidden sausage?
Everyone gets one bad opinion.
[munches loudly on a hot Italian sausage with melted American cheese, sweet relish and mustard on a poppy seed bun)
I had a hotdog yesterday. And the day before, come to think of it.
Like a fucking lady!
So, do we think Uruguay will have any players suspended, or will LOL CONMEBOL pull a fast one and issue suspensions after the 3rd place game against Canada?
Biden is on the good stuff but his voice is still on “FM radio station almost out of range”.
He sounds like my grandad near the end of his life 20 years ago. This is meant both with dark humor and genuine fear.
I’m listening to the press conference and he’s putting me to sleep
I’ll throw something together. Goddamn it!
I think this comment is longer than the post
– Me, when I start a term paper the night before it’s due
-Yeah, Right while looking into his fridge
