Found here. Short version: well, there’s a lot of stuff you can buy people like us. Like, for example: printer ink. What the heck do they make that stuff out of, anyway? Unicorn milk, suspended in a platinum solution?
…That should be the other way around, actually.
I tried to imagine in ‘Birthday‘ how this sort of thing might actually go. After all, everybody knows the value of a first impression, right? And politeness costs a man nothing. And any other number of cliches, really.

As you all no doubt know, I acquired McRib yesterday.

I went to go get another today, but alas: it was limited to Pennsylvania only, apparently. We will have have to wait our turn for the God-Food. Or the ‘Satan Sandwich,’ as somebody on Twitter put it. See, I can be ecumenical…
My, wasn’t that a fun little trip across Pennsylvania, trying to avoid the traffic congestion explosions? Why, yes. Yes, it was. All the fun in the goram world…
Chalk it up to the Principle of Conservation of Suck: there is a fixed amount of Suck in every trip. If you avoid Suck in one area, there will be an increase of Suck in other areas to compensate. So, since there was almost no Suck during the Thanksgiving visit itself, well…
…But it has to be this specific version of Farmer Giles of Ham. Otherwise the healing spell won’t wor… ah, you won’t get the full effect of JRR Tolkien’s words and Pauline Baynes’ art. Some editions are just, well, definitive.
And so, adieu to The Fold.

My sister-in-law just asked that, rhetorically: but let me explain anyway (this explanation draws heavily from The Right Stuff):
Doctors never give you good news. No doctor will ever tell you, “You now have the physique of a Greek god and may indulge in some of the things that you were previously forbidden to indulge in.” At absolute best you will be told that there has been no change, or that you have recovered from a previous setback; but usually a doctor will tell you what new things that you may never do again.
I hope that this clears things up for people.
It would be a very, very good idea for Raul Castro – who is himself 85 – does the same thing. Immediately. Before it is officially too late, for all Eternity.

PS: Actually, the above attempts to be the most pitiless thing that you read about Fidel Castro’s death today.
Had to check before I hit the sack. Five bucks. My thanks to whoever it was that pointed out that Origin was likely to put this one on cheapo-sale.
…as the melodramatic scenes of truly awful movies play out in the other room. It’s actually rather soothing. Although I was a bit alarmed at how much my kids enjoyed that Tim Allen superhero flick.
Regular posting maybe Sunday, definitely Monday.
