When people are having computer problems at work and say they have to call the helpdesk, I point out that they are neither helpful, nor a desk.

âBackronym!â How have I never heard this? 
Seriously though, I can see where youâre probably right about that. But it fits so perfectly!
Huh. I got a pack of four little bluetooth tags from an A***on promo, called the Nutale Findthing(s).
Actually they work pretty well. Designed for Android-based phones.
Iâm going to meet up with my mother for a short walk in a local park to help celebrate her birthday tomorrowâŚshe enjoys brief walks and chatting.
So, she can have two of those. Iâm thinking she can put one on her catâs collar (I donât recall if Bobbie, their cat, wears a collar, being a strictly inside cat) for some reason, and thenâŚI donât knowâŚmaybe she can clip one to my dad or something. Theyâll have fun with that, Iâm sure.
Oh, and thatâs not all! She can have a rechargeable wet-dry dustbuster-type vacuum, since sheâs kind of a clean freakâŚwellâŚin truth, she probably just has an average amount of diligence about lingering filth, like a regular person. And maybe some toe socks.
Not done with The Magnificent Ambersons nor The Queenâs Gambit, so sheâll have to wait on those, but I have some other pretty cool stuff.
But she has to bring me this brass sponge for cleaning soldering tips that I accidentally had delivered to their house.
When I was a boy, this is what we did for fun

I donât care that he hates jazz. What genre does Johnny love? 35 years later, we still donât know.

Your âtrue loveâ in The 12 Days of Christmas just sent you a whole bunch of people who you have to give lodgings to and then you also have to find a way to house all those birds.
It sounds to me like theyâre just trying to make their problem your problem.

My wife just asked us what we were thankful for, and when we told her, she complained that neither of us included the dogs.
But theyâre stupid and useless, so why would we be thankful for them?

There is a large graveyard filled with my enemies. I do not wish to add to it, but will given no choice. Those who pick fights with me do so at their own peril, but maybe this is their lucky day.

Been on an analog horror kick lately. Been thinking about a MST3K-based one about some student at Gizmonics finding out bits and pieces of the experiments and recording what they learn. Theyâre horrified, that a janitor was kidnapped and sent into outer space to be tortured, oh what inhumane acts must he be enduring?
And then the end of each episode just shows part of a random goofy host segment. Like no, this isnât a horror take on the show, itâs just one student not getting all the details and thinking something truly horrible is going on while Joel isâŚ-throws dart at list of host segments-âŚflinging around a lemur after mistaking a kinkajou for one and calling it Joey.

Is Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is a Christmas movie, then is Fun in Ballon Land a Thanksgiving movie?

Iâm thinking most people donât get the reference, although thatâs probably for the best because a mod would likely have to step in.
I got it, and find it far more intimidating coming from No Retreat Scott up there.

I thought it was a Thanksgiving movie. Thatâs when I always watch it.

I feel very proud and good about those who have become Regular.
I had a good run, but TBH, I just stopped caring.
I am fairly regular, though. In the parlance of our times.
It is a great day in my abode!
