Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.

Like most places in the northern hemisphere, it’s stupid hot here. So, I’m trying to keep the plants watered and do things outside when it’s cooler out, but it’s always warm now. Also, do we have any southern hemisphere peeps?
It’s also the end of strawberry season here, so trying to eat my body weight in them in the next few days. I’ll take the misshapen local berry over the picturesque one in the grocery store every time. I get that the store bought ones were picked weeks ago and have more milage on them than my car, but there’s gotta be something they can do to make them taste better. Do something congress science.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.

This is verbatim what I just said to my cat: ” Alright mister. Now that I know what the fuck I’m doing, I’m going to go fucking do it.” Henry nodded thoughtfully. “Word”, said Henry.

Ma’am, I assure you, whatever things the USMNT did this tournament, that was not one of them.

I’m glad there’s no fútbol tomorrow so I can focus 100% on the Mitch McConnell DEATHWATCH.

I’ll be heading out to vacation in a few weeks, I’ll work from the Mediterranean coast for a week, then I’ll have a week and a day off and it will be gloUrioUs! I’m already feeling like the next 3 weeks are gonna take forever, I’m super unmotivated

The good news is I’m driving a big-ass Acura, and it’s a pretty sweet ride.

The bad news is I’m driving it because the shop loaned it to me because they can’t figure out what’s wrong with my regular car, and I think I’m gonna be looking at car payments for the first time in a dozen years or so.

Well, 16 years and 263K miles is a good run.

Now to take a big sip of beer and see how much prices have changed since I bought the last one…

Are you going to go with another Lesbian mobile or will you expand your search to something else?

Coworker had an open line call at a vehicle-into-structure collision. Apparently, these Nobel Laurites did not realize they were on the phone, a recorded line. They were yelling at each other, one telling the other how he wrecked his car, swearing at each other, etc. They then decided to come up with the foolproof plan to say the vehicle had been stolen and run off. By the time these brilliant minds decided on their genius stratagem, the police arrived.

It’s Friday!

Good week.

Killer massage today.

I’ve got my own car back and it wasn’t involved in a crash for the whole week!

I feel as good as I have in 10 years.

Life is good!

9 reminded me of a story Gumby told me. He had duty one night on the tender in Scotland ( USS Simon Lake, AS-33) and he went out on the deck to get some air. There was a girl we knew up there, very nice but kind of a dimwit. She was standing there alone, dancing and singing to herself. She had a broom in one hand and was holding her boob in the other hand. Gumby turned around and walked away quietly, he didn’t want to embarrass her.

Me: [needs some collared short-sleeved shirts but wifey tends to complain about my spending habits]

Me Again: [buys a ton of stuff for myself but also buys a cute PJ ensemble for wifey]

Me Again Also: [announces to wifey] “I bought you a present-it should be here soon.”

Wifey: “You Bought Me A Present!!!???”

Me Again Again: [presents wifey with present] “This is for you.”

Wifey: [is over the moon] “This is the best!”

I bought a car today.

The clock timing how long it takes Mrs. Horatio to sleaze her way into that car, leaving me her older one, has begun ticking.

That was fantastic. Quality announcing right there.

This morning, on our 20 minute call, Mitch McConnell told me I was an idiot for picking England over Norway, but I said “fuck you Bitch, what do you know, you brain- dead piece of shit?” And we laffed and laffed!

I’m not saying this game was stolen from Norway, but it’s odd that footage of this game is now on the way to the British museum

Well, dear colleagues, wasn’t that just a delightful football match! After that masterful display, I am utterly convinced that the Three Lions are going to take their rightful place on the footballing throne in just a few days time! Those delusional Argentines and their medically enhanced midget maestro will likely attempt to topple Those Who Are Right in the next skirmish. Any match between those two squadrons will likely resemble the Falklands War — with the same result!

Alice Cooper still puts on a great show folks. And the lady who plays lead guitar for his band is real easy on the eyes.

If only because I so rarely get to put on the conspiracy guy hat, I can’t believe they killed Lindsey Graham to try and distract from the fact that Mitch McConnell has been dead for weeks.
