Am I having a stroke, or is that really difficult to try to read? Do you smell toast, Kobb? |

I did just air fry some pizza rolls, though.

Their nearest living relative, the okapi, is considerably more plausible-looking, albeit still kind of weird:  Yeah, I'm seeing it in the ears and that's about it. Find yourself a picture of a giraffe, and then compare the structure of the legs, the slope of back, the form of the tail, the relative heights of the shoulder and hip sockets. Also, the okapi in that picture is a female, so she doesn't have those weird-ass horns that you see on both sexes of giraffe. The males do, which enhances the resemblance somewhat. |

I could tell she was female. There's no mistaking that coy "come hither" look in her eyes.
I never thought about it this way, but I suppose both male and female unicorns had horns? I wonder if the stories ever stressed the sex of unicorns encountered? Or were unicorns unisexed? I'm sorry. I'm going in full Billy on this. I mean, not enough to do a deep research dive...

So let me get this straight. The "villain" in the Butterfinger commercial can afford to design and build a suit that makes him appear to be some sort of magical zombie so he can steal peoples' Butterfingers... but he can't afford to just buy a bag of Butterfingers himself.

I hate those commercials. Like, A) the candy ain't that good, and B) just buy some fucking Butterfingers! |

I hate those commercials. Like, A) the candy ain't that good, and B) just buy some fucking Butterfingers! Actually, the funniest part of it is in the shot right after they unmask him, with his face closest to the camera. His expression suggests that, actually, it's just as much the sport of taking away other peoples' candy as it is scoring it for himself. There's this kind of "thwarted dream" quality to it all. Trivia: My brother went to school with Amir Arison, the male agent. He used to be on The Blacklist. |

Nope. Never spent any time in the bakery. I don't think our supercenters had that walk-in kind of oven, though.* The little neighborhood market I last worked at certainly didn't.
I used to have these horrible visions about the Winn Dixie bakery ovens when I worked there, though. Theirs was a long, rotating sort of Ferris wheel-like machine. The metal "shelves" in it were long enough a person could easily be rolled onto one and die a most agonizing death by the time the wheel had made a complete turn.
I know. I need psychiatric help.
*The news story being a WM up in Canada.

I wonder what went down at the vape shop last night. It was a totally peaceful scene as I drove by, just 2 cars parked in front, but a firetruck came screaming in as I passed. It pulled in behind the store. Then a twinkly pickup, the kind with a siren. Then another. Then an ambulance. Then one of those damn things that looks like an armored car that says Fire Dept on it. Then 2 more twinklers. Then another ambulance. How many dead in the vape-shop Dumpster?

Ever see what happens when a cow hits a nest of field mice? I guess all God's critters like extra nutrients... |

OK, yesterday I washed my nail scissors and left them by the sink to dry. Today I remembered to put them back in the kit...and there was another pair of scissors already in its place. I have no freaking idea.  |

It's weird when kung fu movies show up on the DVD shelves at the Goodwill down the highway from my neighborhood, because they're never anything I've ever heard of. Instead of "Oh, hey-- they have 8 Diagram Pole Fighter!" or "Oh, hey-- they have Fists of Fury!" it's "Shaolin's Ninja? The Raging Master's Tiger-Crane? What the fuck even are these?!" It would be like never seeing Hellraiser or Child's Play on the shelves, but only Beast of the Yellow Night and Curse of the Stone Hand.

You know how your phone doesn't ring for weeks and weeks, and then you finally get a call and the two of you are talking, and as that's happening two more calls come in? How does that work?
