Loading ...I’ve been messin’ with the page again. I made the Hermes/Mercuri image random, so there are several different graphics that could conceivably show up. However my browser seems to be choosing the smallest size graphic and displaying it every time. Oh well.
I was about to start writing about all these annoying irritations that have been happening lately, and how they effect me. But I decided better of it. I still feel this enormous pressure to be entertaining. So I’m sitting here trying to think of something entertaining, and it just isn’t working.
I did have a weird syncronicity though. I was just thinking about how I really really need a bottle of Blockbuster (a hoodoo thang - you non-magical people just turn away), and just as I was ponderin’ it, a commercial for Blockbuster (the video thang - you non-magical folk can open your eyes now) came on.
Could be an omen, but if its an omen I’m screwed cuz I ain’t gettin’ none anytime soon.
So, remember what Don said about ‘you can eat that at home - why eat it when you go out?’, and then ordered steak for dinner? Wanna know what he made for dinner tonight? Steak.
I don’t know, if y’all are lookin’ fer entertainment tonight, you may just want to go back to the Brick Testament page. At least he’s consistently entertaining.
Buy me a beer!

Cool! I like the new graphics. They show up differently each time I refresh the page.
Don’t feel any pressure to be entertainin’ on our part. I mean we can’t all be entertaining all the time. You don’t see us sending you witty entertaining blurbs to post, so we can hardly hold you accountable if you don’t bring the party every time. No worries there.
Odd about your mentioning those synchronicities. They have happened twice to me in the last couple of days as well, and they rarely ever happen to me. I’ve never heard of that sort of Blockbuster, but I’m glad to hear there is something out there called that that does NOT suck.
Why can’t you get any BB? Is it because your trusted supplier is not around anymore? That would be unfortunate. Not many ways to remedy that one.
Not sure what to say about ol’ Don there, except that he sounds like 80% of the Southern Men of a Certain Age I’ve known. Unfortunately.
Lovin’ that Brick Testament, though I am too easily engrossed, so I’m steering clear of it for a few weeks. R the P is traveling, so he is not going to have much time to be entertained, unfortunately. In fact, he’s on a plane right now. In case he hasn’t mentioned it before, his job bites. I guess it’s good he has one, though. I guess…
Glad you like the graphics, and I’m glad they’re doing what they’re supposed to do on your browser, I was thinking about putting a pic of Ares in there, just to mix it up a bit, and because he’s been pretty good to me. But he’s kinda scary looking.
I can’t help it, I’m good at putting undue pressure on myself.I know everyone says I don’t have to be entertaining all the time (just most of the time), but I feel like I have a duty to my four readers.
But I’ve been under a lot of stress since my snit/anxiety attack/rise in melancholic humours. Hissy fit! Thats what it was - haven’t used that term in a while. And I’m still pretty tense.
Once I get rent and bills scraped together I’ll worry about BB. I’m hoping I’ll be able to swap for some - barter is the way to go. But in the past week everything has plummeted, including income, so I’m rushing to catch up. I’m sure I will, I just hate the mad scramble.
Yeah, not much to say about Don. And yeah, I have to stay away from Brick Testament too, or I’ll end up mightily distracted.
Brought to you by God, the invisible giant you turn to when you’re about to die! - the Simpsons
Well I added the scary Ares-Mars pic. I’d hate to disregard any deity who’s been good to me. Especially the scary ones.
I’ll probably die in my house, wedged behind the bathroom door where the paramedics can’t get to me - Bill Dautrive
Yes, excellent graphics. Ares tends to be depicted in a rather scary way, understandably. Best to leave him out at the moment, probably.
I understand the call of duty as it were. I have some of that in myself too. Annoying at times. You are immensely entertaining but no one expects you to be a ton of laughs all the time. Who is? Don’t get me wrong, entertaining is excellent, but not always expected.
I can see why you’d be tense after the … er… hissy fit. Makes sense. I can certainly relate. I’m on the verge of pure nuttiness myself, though it could be much worse I suppose.
Sorry to hear about the mad scramble. I can relate to that one! I don’t know how it happens, but we too have the last minute money scramble at times. Not the same experience as yours, probably, but still annoying.
No Brick Testament for us for a while! That’s too bad. Love that Simpson’s quote. I haven’t heard that one in years.
Oh, well, that’s a good point about Ares. Best not to piss off the gods. Never ended well in all those stories.
That Bill Dautrive quote is funny; oddly and sadly, that very thing happened to an acquaintance of mine (no, really), and he in fact wasn’t long for this earth at that point. No one even knew for a couple of days. Ugh. But that story rather takes away from the joke, doesn’t it!
I’m going to refresh until I see the Ares pic.
I assume Ares is the handsome young man in the reddish tint and strange arm garb? Nice…
Ares. Yeah thats the one. He’s kinda hot. He can come kick my ass anyday (as long as its in a fun way).
You haven’t heard that Simpsons quote in years? Weird. I heard it tonight. which is why I used it. I thought it was hilarious.
That Bill Dautrive quote is the one that I always think of from King of the Hill. And you’re right, its not so funny now that I know it could actually happen. How terrible that it happened to your acquaintance.
Yes, do come ’round dear Ares if you’re ever in the neighborhood and in a fun-war mood. If you’re in a kill-war mood, just consider me unavailable.
Oh, yeah, on closer reading, I was thinking of something else… an episode when they went to heaven and Homer got into trouble or summat. I am so easily confused these days.
Yeah, sorry for the downer re my acquaintance. I was lucky because everyone else knew him much better and liked him quite a bit. When HR announced what had happened, it was, uh, rather bad at work for a while. Still, it’s a super-rare event. The police said they hadn’t seen anything quite like it. Poor guy (and his family too).
But now onto something more fun: Another Simpson’s quote. This one I got from the internet since I have no decent memory anymore:
Homer: Oh, Lord! Why do You mock me? (looking up at ceiling). Marge: Homer, that’s not God. That’s a waffle Bart stuck to the ceiling. (Marge pries the waffle off the ceiling).
Homer: Lord, I know I shouldn’t eat Thee, but… (howmph howmph howmph) Mmmm… sacrelicious.
I remember that Simpsons. “Sacrilicious” is one of my favorite words, and aptly describes many of our holidays.
If Ares comes around in a fun-war mood, he needs to be careful with that big pole.
Another KotH quote:
You know how the Egyptians un-tipped the pyramids, don’t you? With a winch, a cinder block, and 50,000 Hebrew slaves. You got a cinder block? - Dale Gribble
Okay, one last KotH quote:
PEGGY: He said, “Peggy, I think I might be gay.” And this was back when being gay in Texas was not as much fun as it is now. We decided the only way to know for sure was to test him with Peggy Platter. So we went back to his place, gently pushed aside his decorative throw pillows, and … ho yeah.
LUANNE: Did you fix him?
PEGGY: Oh, no, Luanne, he was not broken. Just gay. Very, very gay.
Great KotH quotes!
Okay - the perfect quote for my week:
My rose-colored glasses are off and the world looks flesh-colored and unappealing. - Peggy Hill
As Mojo said I am traveling. I’m on the road so much you might as well call me Bill Moyers.
Thank you! I’ll be here all week! Goodnight everybody!
Oh, Richard… [groan] :-)
Sigh. I can’t even get emoticons to work.
Such a Luddite
That is kind of sad, R the P.
:-P
Dangit, that one works on google chat! Just proves R the P and I were meant to be… Luddites. :-O
You will not believe the Amazon ad that I have on this page right now. It obviously refers to Shelley’s Robcast.
It is “I’ve Got A Tiger By the Tail” by Buck Owens.
Hee Haw!
Heeeeeee Hawwwwwwwwwwww
Hee-hee-hee-haw-haw-HAW.
HEE HAW!!!
Sorry, Che. Please don’t ban me from SP for that one. “It’s not stupidity; it’s heritage!”.
