T-1000, with surface-to-air ass. Only got one though, so keep track of where you shoot it or he’ll never be able to sit down again.

I’d be hard-pressed to show anyone exactly what I’ve done in the last week, since it’s been almost all mental work, but by Yog-Sothoth, it’s been hard. It’s strange to feel worn out from thinking, but I’ve been doing the real squinty-eyed kind of thinking, which should have cartoon effort lines radiating from my head and hanging in the air so everyone knows that’s what I’m doing and it’s really hard grinding.

The results have been good (it’s all been book-thinking) but I feel like I’ve dug ditches for days. Haven’t been looking out at the world very much.

But I’m here now. I’m back. They don’t get any more “back” than I am this very minute. I am totally back and here.

In fact, I’m right behind you. That’s why I’m so happy.

This is quite creepy enough to be a profile picture, but it has a caption, which I tend to avoid. Therefore, it will make a solo appearance here.

Only fair…

The ‘Captain America Statistics Song!’ Is A Sobering Reality Check

ADHD’s updated Captain America theme song runs through some important American statistics — none of them good.

Terrible decision. Bad law, made backward — they wanted a reason to support religion, so they “found” one. (Made one up.)

Life imitates Art, blah blah woof, these are still pretty damn excellent things. Reality can be fun. The Russian caves are something I’ve seen in dreams and didn’t know they were real.

I created a monster.

The key thing to realize here is that these are riddles, and may depend to an extent on word-play we don’t recognize, so they’re not your normal “jokes”. But still pretty interesting.

A sudden flashback. Had forgotten seeing this live. Sued. SMH.

Finally beginning to check back into Earth Time after a few weeks of running around doing stuff that prevented coherent thought of the type I prefer. It’s interesting on this planet. I should visit it more often.

This is so very, very What’s Happening Now.

In case you haven’t seen it, this is my Picture of the Week. If it wasn’t horizontal, it would have been a profile pic.

I have to agree withe the critique, except I love them for all the same reasons. Thank you, Grey Group advertising executives, for making ordinary television viewing a very slippery slope for sanity — as it should be.
