These days…a younger guy approached me at the gym and said he really admired…my car (lmao). I have an Audi S5 Sportback now and we were talking about sports models in general, blah blah. I think he wanted to caress my car. The best part of the conversation was the end when he said he could picture me driving that thing for all its worth at times. Damn straight I do.

Id venture he was imagining driving you.

Nice thought maybe (he wasn’t hard on the eyes for sure). He’s saying hi to me now whenever we cross paths. A spin (in the car) doesn’t sound all bad, lol.

I’m going to hell…

I've always thought hell sounded more fun anyway, try to get on the payroll down there could be a riot.
 
I wish I could visit alternate realities so I could see the Zack Snyder and Michael Bay versions of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

...Actually Snyder might do an OK job.
 
In my 30s, I basically cut out cookies, ice cream, and bacon. That and my activity level worked for years to maintain low bodyfat, but the past 3 years or so, I'm faced with making more cuts--or having a bit of a belly BUT...

I did prime rib for Christmas. As I was eating it the angel on one shoulder said "the good thing about this is the fat is clearly visible and you can just trim it off" while the devil on the other shoulder said "BUT THAT'S THE BEST PART!" Since baked potatoes go with prime rib and I had more potatoes than I had beef, this week I made my Mom's (Betty Crocker Cookbook) pork chops in mushroom sauce. Rather than cook one at a time, obviously I cooked it all and I make up a serving to microwave from the refrigerator each night. I should mention, Back In The Day, the pig farmers had a very effective "Pork: the other white meat" marketing campaign, portraying pork as a healthy choice. And while you might be able to rationalize away bacon and where lard comes from, it's hard to ignore the thick, waxy layer of fat on top of the gravy in the bowl. Looking at it, the angel on my shoulder again went "the good thing is, you can see the fat right there, you can just scoop it out and throw it away" while the devil on my shoulder again said "YOU IDIOT, THAT'S THE BEST PART." You can guess who I listened to--the same fucker that said there's nothing wrong with a 4th Manhattan for the evening.
 
Speaking of The Devil, I suspect He works in the programming department for StoryTV. Like I said, a couple days ago I wasn't paying attention and got roped into watching a 2 hour show when I'd only planned on watching another hour of TV. The next day they tried it again so I wound up watching fucking CourtTV instead. So last night they did a 1 hour show. On Stonehenge. Great. Super. Perfect. BUT...

At the bottom of the screen they put a little thing that says "NOW SHOWING... UP NEXT..." and a "Digging for the Truth" about Stonehenge was coming on after. It's nice to watch 2 shows on a subject so you can see how much the interpretation of the facts lines up and "Digging for the Truth" is almost always an entertaining program. It came on and it was only an hour so I got suckered into a second hour.

Problem is, the next "UP NEXT..." was on the Ark of the Covenant. :cautious: I really shouldn't sit for a 3rd hour. But, ARK OF THE COVENANT! So I stayed for the beginning. But then I look at the program guide: 2 FUCKING HOURS! So not only did they already sucker me into watching an hour longer than I'd planned, but if I hadn't been on the ball I'd have been sitting there until midnight, wasting an entire evening.
 
I got trolled on Instagram last night. I was disagreeing with a guy who thinks it’s okay to call San Francisco “Frisco”. No it’s not. On the plus side (even with all the limitations on IG) I pissed him off enough that he dug into my profile and made some “profane” comments about my daughter (questions about how she likes it and shit). Within the very gawt damn tight restrictions of IG I responded but I really wanted to kill him. I started scrolling his profile/planning my revenge. Truth is, she deals with creepy comments on her own account all the time and this conversation was so far removed from her, I shouldn’t have let it piss me off. But it did dammit. I was partially frustrated by the fact that I couldn’t call him a camel sucking cum bag like I wanted to (learned he’s originally from Morocco) but still. I was over it by this morning but still…I feel like I fed a damn troll briefly. The shame…

I will say, I thought I was over it but I just found and delivered a tasty fucking reply (all within the boundaries of IG…I think). Payback happened and it felt good….
 
OK. No, yeah, I got it. How fungible history is. All my life Billy the Kid was an outlaw thug. The 1980s Emilio Estivez movie was crap. Then Story had a thing on Billy the Kid. And it did a good job of making him out to be a decent guy, like the "Young Guns" movie. This also goes to the Earps and the Clantons and the OK Corral. Modern history maybe sides with the Earps, but in some circles (and TOS episodes), the Clantons were the victims.

So turning to the Internet, I learn that the story crafted by the documentary isn't as noble as it could be. Billy did a shit ton of crimes before the events that allegedly put him on the wrong side of the law.

Feel you. I just sent this text to my daughter who’s meeting her b/f’s dad for the first time. They’re millionaires. As if I care (I suppose we are too so money doesn’t mean much to me):


“If u want us to FaceTime with (boyfriend’s) dad/parents, just let me know. Totally down for that.
I’m wearing a fairly new robe. 😂😂😂”.

My give a fuck is broken.
 
Has anyone ever watched the Frank's Red Hot Commercials? You know, where they're shaking the shit out of these bottles throughout the commercial. I wonder if anyone has realized just how much sauce would be coming out, and where it would be going if they were true to life. They're not even looking at what they're putting "that shit" on. This is prime SNL material, I'm sure.
