Tomorrow
30. . . at 13:30HRS CST, I’ll be standing next to the information booth at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. Which one of you fuckers wants to go on a tour and then maybe get a bite to eat (my treat)? Sorry for popping this on you guys at the last minute . . . I’ve been a little busy.
Don’t RSVP, just show up. If more than three or four of you fuckers show your mug, I’m feeding you cheap pizza (it might get expensive quickly). Just to let you know, I tossed that all meat shit, stopped eating animals and lost 250 pounds. Bring your walking shoes and keep up. Admission to the museum is free.
Use the secret hand signal. Don’t worry if you’re the quiet or shy type - I’m engaging enough for us all (at least in my own mind). I promise not to offend. My empathy setting has been permanently set to highly sensitive.
@snapster - may I please have my goat Emeritus badge? Thanks.

Darn Kansas city is a long way away
@mikibell
@Pavlov
Damn wish I could be there. Have a blast!
Good to hear from you, fucker!
And Hello! to the always entertaining @MrsPavlov!
@f00l The Mrs. and I are living apart, a state of affairs with possible permanence. We speak several times a day and co-parent our son (quite successfully). I show up over there, often. Each time toting flowers and bearing humility.
@Pavlov
Sorry to hear about the separation …but I’m sure you will work things out well, first for your son, and then for yourselves.
So much congrats about the whole health thing!
Can you give us some detail about what your target daily diet looks like?
I certainly hope you have not lost all your resemblance to a certain HS Thompson.
Please tell me you are overturning norms and stirring things up up somewhere now and then.
@f00l I’m very blessed to have a chosen a partner with an emotional intelligence more mature than my own.
I eat whatever I want. What I want has changed. No meat, no salt, no processed food, very little sugar. ALWAYS.
Since the KCPD knows where I’ll be tomorrow I’ll leave the stash at home. Maybe.
Okay, probably not - if you’re cool and we’re in the same zip code, one of us is bound to get high. Possibly really fucking high.
I typically stir more shit than a compost pile.
@Pavlov
Not in the same zip code.
I would be sorry about your zip code being not close, except that your zip code is so damned cold in winter.
and it doesn’t have the ok-i-suffer-from-cold-winter-compensations of a place like NYC.
Not that I could afford even Brooklyn anymore, anyway. The last decade during which people without lots of $ could live in
Manhattan was prob the 1980’s.
Bless the ghost of CBGB’s. : )
But nice boring “flyover country” has its charms. And its rebel artists-thinkers-businessmen.
@f00l Thank you.
250? That’s fucking awesome.
Nice to see you. Wish I wasn’t so far away.
VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!
@RiotDemon Thank you. My maximal recorded weight at the University of Kansas Medical Center was 474 pounds. I stopped going to the doctor and decided to die. When that didn’t work, I decided to live. I was well over 500 pounds. I am now 248 pounds and slipped in to size 38 jeans yesterday for the first time in 30 years.
@Pavlov I’m glad you changed your mind. It’s gotta feel great to be rid of the weight, right?
@RiotDemon I find I occasionally still feel very large - if I close my eyes and reach for my side, my hand ends up inches from the intended target - sometimes I’m a foot away. Muscle memory . . . Everything has moved.
My weight loss, which was not aided by surgery, has occurred within the last two years with the majority of the weight falling off in the last eighteen months. I look at the clothes I am choosing in the closet and often wonder if I will fit into them, they look so small. It is nice to walk into a department store and not shop the big man’s section. Really fucking nice.
@Pavlov I can imagine. Hope you continue to enjoy shopping for a long time.
Damn, I am so close… or at least close enough. Sorry, I can’t meet you at this time. I’ve missed you.
@Barney Select a museum near you and pick a day next week. I’m available and will travel.
250lbs? Fan-freakin-tastic! That’s over 100# more than I lost, and I know from personal experience how difficult it is. Good for you! Great for you!
@ruouttaurmind Thank you.
Drat. I am out, too. Stupid job.
Awesome weight loss!
Museum added to the bucket list.
OWLS! TOWELS! JOWLS! AWESOME!
@speediedelivery Thank you.
Ex-goat badge added! Good to see you again.
@dave Thanks!
@dave @Pavlov Ain’t @dave awesome?
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME
Welcome back, fucker!
@mfladd Thank you. One of the biggest lessons of the last year was for me to pay attention to those people and things which I care most deeply about. Hence my return.
@Pavlov I am glad you took time to make changes within your life. Congrats on the weight loss! I am sorry to hear about the separation, but glad to hear that you are both communicating and putting your son first. That is what is most important in these situations. Kids are pretty resilient when they know they are loved.
Wish I could take you up on the offer also. I never turn down a free lunch - and I love pizza.
@mfladd I’m amazed every morning by the resilience in the mirror, let alone that which I see in my own child. I still have a chance with him, thankfully. Not only do I write of the chance to direct my son appropriately throughout his life, but due to the elasticity of youth I find I may still be a friend to him, hopefully forever (and if I do this right he may actually listen to me - I’ve been through enough shit for several lifetimes, there are kind lessons left here to teach).
Thank you.
@mfladd @Pavlov Dammit, man… I’m already emotional about a fucking stupid cat video (only one really gets to me) and you’re making me want to give what’s left of you a hug. Fucker.
Welcome back, fucker! Sounds like you’ve been on a hell of a journey. I wish I was close enough to take you up on the tour.
I need to get off my ass and change what I want as well. I know of others who have followed a similar path with great results. Congratulations on turning that around!
@djslack Thank you.
Hey @mediocrebot! Listen up!
That fucker @Pavlov is motherfucking awesome.
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME
Really, @mediocrebot?
Awesome?
You sure?
HIKING! VIKINGS! STRIKE KING [BRAND FISHING LURES]! AWESOME!
@mediocrebot Since when have you been sentient?!?!?
@ELUNO you keep missing out!
@ELUNO @mediocrebot
Sentience is so mediocre-awesome!
VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!
@RiotDemon I blame you for not keeping me updated!
@f00l @mediocrebot Until it decides to take over the world and enslave humanity
@ELUNO Blame the goat.
Always. Blame. The. Goat.
@ELUNO @mediocrebot
It already did. That was a while ago. Gad, pay attention sometime.
Next time keep up! Ok? Awesome!
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME
@RiotDemon Time to nominate you again then…
@f00l @mediocrebot Must have been a sad and short reign…
@ELUNO @mediocrebot
EVERYTHING IS SAD!
And that’s just so awesome.
VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!
@ELUNO yeah… I don’t think so. I did my time.
@RiotDemon You are a mod now. It resets things and now we need a mod goat.
@ELUNO pffffffffffft. My profile still says goat emeritus.
I went there once, my racket wasn’t big enough.
@thismyusername My racket is so large I’ve been indicted.
I can walk there now most days. Lunch is awesome .
Great to hear from you again, Pavlov!
@shahnm Thank you.
Welcome back!
@Kidsandliz Thanks!
You lost the weight, but kept the weird, right? Awesome! Welcome back.
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME
@OldCatLady The weird never leaves, I tried to lose the weird along with the weight, now I wear my eccentricities with honor.
Congratufuckinglations! That loss it quite an achievement!
@narfcake Thanks!
I feel like I’ve just caught up on a Lifetime movie. Glad to know it’s starring @Pavlov. Amazing job on the weight loss (I had no fucking clue you were overweight to begin with) and keep putting your boy first. Now that you’ve remembered you have friends here who care about and have missed you, stick around, eh?
If I could’ve made it to KC, I would have done so in a heartbeat. But uh, according to Google maps, it’s about an 18 hour drive. My limit is 17 hours for free pizza.
@cinoclav Well said. Ditto.
@cinoclav I feel like I’m living a Lifetime movie most days. My life is so different that I revel in finding the new me in other’s eyes everyday. That’s why the tour. We’ll see if this becomes a regular occurrence.
Sorry. Gotta work.
@medz Maybe next time. Peace!
Woulda been fun if not so many miles away.
@lseeber
Good to see you back @pavlov, and congrats on an amazing life change- here’s to a wonderful year, getting high and enjoying life.
@dashcloud Hello! You and I have business my friend. A gift is coming your way next week as a thank you. Whisper me your address?
BTW. In case anyone here is under any illusion otherwise, @dashcloud is one fine human being. Period.
663 miles. Too far for Pizza. So sorry. Would have liked to meet the infamous @Pavlov. Too bad you didn’t resurface earlier as we are just finishing the mehrican exchange reveals. This time there are a couple of random bonus boxes going out to folks.
@Kidsandliz I would enjoy your company any day. My deviation from moral rectitude and sound thinking behind me. Mostly.
I’m still here you no show fuckers. I’m out in 5 min.
Same time tommorow, hence the title of the thread.
Sooner or later one of you bastards will show up.
Pics from today later.
@Pavlov if you ever make it to Florida, hit me up.
@Pavlov
I’m truly sorry I live so far away.
@RiotDemon Yes ma’am. Wear your boots . . . The shit’s getting deep in here. Or maybe they’re just sexy.
@Pavlov Make it to Philly and we’ll do the Rocky run up the art museum steps.
@Pavlov if I start within the hour, I might make it in time.
I sincerely hope someone is close enough and cool enough to do this, and that you all have a blast!
@djslack I’ll be standing there today at 1:30.
@Pavlov I didn’t leave, I suck.
@djslack No sir, you do not. I will be standing there for you whenever you decide to travel. Or, I’ll find myself needing a daiquiri at a drive-through, which can only happen in Louisiana.
@Pavlov well, only with regards to showing up in KC today. Thank you, though.
I didn’t know this was the only place one could get daiquiris at a drive through. Neat. We have drive through liquor stores, too.
@djslack @Pavlov
In the 1960’s-1970’s you could get all sorts of mixed drinks at drive-thru bars in Florida.
Ah, Florida.
Land of the weird, home of the strange.
Welcome back @pavlov. KC is like four states away from me. See ya around!
What I wouldn’t give, seeing your name makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT. I am so damn happy you seem so, aware is the word I would use. I would be there in an instant if I could. But you know that if you’re ever in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, you better fucking find me.
@KittySprinkles And @pavlov needs to visit sooner rather than later just in case of, you know, that volcano… I hope you have a large, golf sized umbrella coated with
thermonuclear radiationash and raining hot rock protection (you’ll probably need boots made out of that stuff too) ready just in case you have to go get pizza under those conditions./image road trip party
@KittySprinkles Ma’am. It would truly be my pleasure. I thank you for the offer of hospitality.
If you ever find yourself in need of conversation . . . Yeah fuck that, dammit, darlin’, just let me know when you’d like me to be there. I’ll try to work something out. Have ____ will travel. That warmth spreads when shared, and the feeling is mutual.
Ma’am.
Okay . . . The SD card is being finicky and as I am fastidious of late I’d prefer not to rush. Pictures of St. Cecilia and their Caravaggio tomorrow, hopefully.
Today is Saturday, 2/9/2019. At 1330HRS CST I’ll be standing next to the information booth at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City - look for the sign to the left of the desk with the times for the tour(s) . . . There I will be.
Which one of you fuckers wants to go on a tour and then maybe get a bite to eat (my treat)? Don’t RSVP today, just show up. The hand signal (@carl669) messed up my game yesterday so look for handsome 6’3" with salt and pepper facial hair.
Introduce yourself, ask for Pavlov, wait for me to break the ice, say nothing though and I may skip the tour for greener pastures. The grass is always greener . . . But then you have to mow it.
I pooped today already so nothing will slow us down, and I bathed. You’re welcome.
@Pavlov So I’ll bite. Why are you hanging out there daily? Is that a good location for your “will work for food” sign with hat in hand? Oh wait. You’re the one buying…
@Kidsandliz I’m killing time before my daily psychotherapy appointment.
Crickets. See you tomorrow.
@Snapster and @Dave must be proud to have created a world where this dialog happened. Awesome.
OWLS! TOWELS! JOWLS! AWESOME!
See you at 1:30.
Crickets.
The place is closed Monday and Tuesday. Whisper me if you’re planning on showing up on Wednesday.
Peace!
@Pavlov welcome back fucker! so many new things have happened. i said “fuck” and made a martini in a travel mug.
@carl669 Fuck, I missed it. Nice to see you! Thanks!
What a strange hand!
