Random Thoughts the Third

I had a deep thought the other day.

Oh, before I get to that, a quick thought: some woman should set up an account here and give it the username 6. Then she could say about half the posts on sj were name-checking her,

Ok, my deep thought. An alarmingly dwindling percentage of the U.S. population is familiar with Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. Many people who had heard of the show are dying off every year. And the population under 40 that has never heard of it will keep growing and growing. That's the reality. And I thought Jim Fowler wrestling a giant anaconda while Marlin Perkins flogged life insurance was a grim chain of events. Is some pandemic centered on the young too much to hope for at this point? Sigh...mortality visited.

 

I always imagine that there's an asshole mid-level manager at Nestle whose job it is to enforce brand marketing. And that guy is always running around correcting employees' casual language every fucking day. Especially when they bring in food.

"Those are NOT chocolate chip cookies, people! Those are Toll House cookies!!! And it's MORSELS, goddammit! Get that through your fucking heads! MORSELS!!!"

 

Definitely stealing that pic

 

I assume Bubbler found that while shopping for a gift for BYH's daughter.

 

I'm still looking for a stuffed Jay Horowitz toy to send her.

A talking one would probably be better though.

 

I bought green beans at the supermarket. I have no idea how to cook them. Should be interesting. I also bought beer. Should be interesting.

 

What kind of guy decides ventriloquism is going to be his special talent?

 

Don't cook the beer.

 

I can feel my hair growing.
