@mediocrebot Why would AI put his legs between the rials? (I put my head between the bannisters as a toddler but helpful hands from my parents got me out).
And the woman in the rocking chair in the middle of the road? And the woman on the other side in some contraption and without legs? (Of course, people live without legs, but that seems to be gratuitous here). And the woman in the back sitting partly in the road? And the astroturf lawn with a rug on it? And cards strewn on it? And books sitting on the “grass”? And who knows what else?
@f00l@macromeh Entire major social constructs and de facto industries (of several sorts) have developed with the expressed goal of convincing people that death is not certain, and those who have the funding to cause themselves to have a hypervested interest if making taxes uncertain have been extremely active in pursuing that goal for themselves. As such, neither is regarded as inevitable, if you are arrogant enough.
I’m doing it again, aren’t I? I obviously need a cat on my lap.
@chienfou@macromeh if you only know about the books, you’re not aware that they hide under cars and attack unsuspecting people biting their ankles so that they bleed to death.
Penguins are a menace and you should be aware of them.
@chienfou@macromeh@mediocrebot@OnionSoup when I ran a 5th grade school camp Quackster the attack duck did a pretty good job of biting ankles too. He also couldn’t float so never went in the pond. One weird duck.
Next Christmas.
@yakkoTDI Always.
@duodec @yakkoTDI Huh??
All of the above, plus things that are not going to be announced here.
/showme Retirement
@mediocrebot I’m concerned about the guy whose legs are stuck in the porch railing. Is he being pilloried for mocking an AI?
@haydesigner Not too much longer, I hope, accompanied by finally escaping ill-annoy.

@andyw @mediocrebot hmm maybe all that weird stuff because AI never will get to retire so wants you to think it will be horrible and so suffer with it?
Fifth year anniversary
@Raptor_007 Good work. Each year gets easier. And harder.
Friday, the best day of the week.
@kjady that’s Pizza Day (also on a Friday)
Halloween. Because every time can be Spooky Time if you believe.
Twilight Zone marathon.
Every day!
@andyw
The day the credit card bills arrive. (Also known as the 13th Day of Christmas.)
summer
New Years Eve, as it’s the last day before my diet and other resolutions begin.
@hchavers And then “day after New Year’s”, as it’s the first day my diet and some other resolutions end.
@hchavers @pakopako
I’m doing a New Year’s Day feast. A lot of crab so nothing to fattening but then I’ll start exercising.
New Year’s Eve because it’s the next day I have off from work.
Memorial Day
/youtube Janis Joplin There is no tomorrow
@2many2no rasp rasp rasp chainsaw rasp fingernails-on-chalkboard rasp raspy rasp.
All of her greatest ‘hits’.
@2many2no @duodec So how do you feel about Kim Carnes and Bonnie Tyler?
@2many2no @Kyeh horrible voices, but Kim Carnes has more talent than Joplin; not going to take time to listen/remember Tyler right now.
@2many2no @duodec
Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse if the Heart. (One of the craziest music videos ever.)
@duodec
Dem blues. Huh.
/image “the blues”

@duodec
Wild card weekend.
January 20th. The day I leave for a ski trip to Japan. Big bucket list item being checked off.
I think “another day” pretty much sums it up.
@kittykat9180 That, and a new gown made from the draperies.
Death and taxes, yes?
@f00l Are you certain?
@macromeh
I’m never certain, except when I’m certain.
And maybe not even then.

@f00l I approve of this image.
/showme sweet embrace of infinite darkness
@mediocrebot
Noice.
@medz @fool Sweet image, but neither infinite nor dark…
/showme sleep
@mediocrebot
Noice.
@f00l @mediocrebot I’ll try it one day
The day I find out if I am getting an offer for a new job. Even if I don’t get it, I just want to know already.
The holy two Mondays off in a row. New Year’s Day for sure
Not much. A neighbors daughter is getting married in March. I’m excited about that.
Penguin Awareness Day is in January!
@OnionSoup Oops! Looks like I jumped the gun for being aware of penguins. My bad.
@macromeh as long as you’re even more aware of them next month it’s probably OK.
@macromeh @OnionSoup
I know they published a lot of books… does that count?
@chienfou @macromeh if you only know about the books, you’re not aware that they hide under cars and attack unsuspecting people biting their ankles so that they bleed to death.
Penguins are a menace and you should be aware of them.
@chienfou @macromeh @OnionSoup
Re penguin attacks:
Yeah that’s why I quit going to Florida.
So dangerous.
/giphy “penguin attack”

January 11 when I leave for vacation and my birthday four days later
@ironcheftoni
Bon Voyage and (early) Happy Birthday!
/showme a penguin under a car biting someone’s ankle (re: penguin awareness day)
@mediocrebot @chienfou @macromeh THIS!!! THIS!!! This is why you should be aware of penguins.
@chienfou @macromeh @mediocrebot @OnionSoup And bounce bears.
