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.

The weather’s been nice, so got some yard work done.  Repaired the bird feeder with the camera in it, got it put up and working again.  It’s even got birdseed in it and the birds have found it.  Got the garden started, and started on the never fucking ending weeding.  Fun times.

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

Battletoads!
Mr. Ayo

Goddammit.

This is my son. The soon to be high school graduate.

That is my mother’s walker.

I had to stop him from riding it down the hill.

Me: [joking with my youngest back in late February] “Now that your older brother is here, I think we can break our previous record of three cases of sausages eaten over the course of the summer.”

Context: Oldest is into weightlifting and is focusing on lean protein but is human

Youngest: [laughs] “We can probably get to five!”

Update: We are 7 hot Italian sausages away from a 3rd case and we’re not yet in June.

Hey, just like last night my comment about the weather is “awaiting approval”. It never did get approved last night. I must be using some forbidden trigger word.

As humans, we spend most of our time “awaiting approval.” The joy of life, of course, is when we receive that approval. You’re welcome.
Mr. Ayo

I approve of this message.

Just joined our World Cup tourney. I really want to thank you guys for being such a good goddamn group of friends. If this place went dark between football seasons, my life would be exponentially worse. I don’t say any of this for any particular reason right now, but I just want every one of you to know what a positive, supportive effect you’ve had on another human being just by being yourselves.

My wife is happier than she’s been in some time. Does it have anything to do with me? PFFT!

/she spent an entire afternoon with my youngest’s boy’s girlfriend

/despite my extraordinary sense of humor, Mrs. scotchy rarely laughs out loud at my brilliant jokings but tonight was different

I made a thing from the heel of a Mennonite sourdough loaf, some bologna, plastic cheese and the top of a hot dog bun.*

Me: “Would you like a bite of my ‘Make-A-Wish’ sandwich?”

Dear Reader, she guffawed

*we’re on a budget!

/there is a long, weird history that informs this joke. Huh, maybe I have something to talk about for tomorrow’s open thread

Do you think Corey Lewndowski and Kristi Noem are gonna dress up as Vrabel/Russi for Halloween?
blaxabbath

Pretty sure Noem’s husband called dibs on going as Russini already.

Welp, I threw this against the wall before I found out Lemieux suicided but once you go black humor you can never go back.

I wouldn’t worry about it. If anyone can appreciate a cheap shot, it’s Claude.

Just got back from checking out a couple wedding/reception venues. This might be my life the for next year or whatever.

Do NAWT have kids.

Or if you do, try to become estranged from them before they reach their 20s.
SonOfSpam

I’ve been telling The Heiress since she was a teen: don’t get married.
Alternatively, elope and send me a postcard from the honeymoon. I’m mushy like dat.

What an outstanding campaign this has been! I, for one, am delighted that our handsome field marshal finally overcame his limitations and guided the King’s Finest to an honest to goodness title. There shall be much rejoicing in the parlour at the Rhodes Estate over the weeks to come!

It is simply unfathomable to me that a French squadron could advance this far in any competition. They are meant to be outstanding at cheese and wine production — not at football! Regardless, the Lord will be on the side of Those That Are Right today, and a triumph over l’opposition française will not be denied! Glory be to the Arsenal! Do it for Lizzie!

On our way to the Mohegan Casino for the Chocolate Festival.

This year they have some of the cast from the original Willy Wonka movie, including an Oompa Loompa! Will I offer him Applebee’s coupons to pose with a sign saying “Hello to DFO from Lowratio”?

Signs point to “Fuck no, Mrs. Horatio would stab me to death right then and there!”

But I did consider it.

We’re back from the chocolate fest, which was somewhat of a let down. Like, kind of a “what if we had a State Fair, but put it in an airport hanger” vibe.

But Mrs. Horatio did get a picture with the actor who played Charlie is is very nice, has tattooed forearms, recently retired from being a veterinarian and in his spare times kayak and runs marathons.

I did not expect any of that from Charlie Bucket, I’ll tell you that. Very nice guy. Chatted, (obviously), with everyone.

Watched my son graduate from high school today. the fuck ass principal, who basically tried to frame him for something he didn’t do, watclked right past me. oh, how i wished for a morning star so i could splatter that fucker’s brains all over the stage.

well, that didn’t happen. but . . . fuck that guy forever cause he had to say my son’s name when he got his diploma. that was a cup full of wormwood and gall. and i bet it burned all the way down.

Here’s to those graduates, don’t leave a mark, make a dent.

If you have having trouble “loggin in”, once logged in it may say that you are not logged in, at that point, refresh the page. If that does not work, then clear your cache and “loggin in” again.

Thanks for all the comments and funny and everything else.
