  • I fought my mom’s mountain lion when I was in my early 20s. Had 20-30 pounds on that bitch. She hated men in hats for some reason no one ever figured out. Teased her a bit, looking her in the eye, on my knees on the living room floor, with a straw cowboy hat on.

    All I saw was a tawny blur, ended up on my back with my long hair coming out in hanks. The cat ended up with my hat. Along with more of my hair.

    I no longer have illusions against my chances vs. a possum.

    Laughing at y’all who didn’t exist before microwave ovens. Mom used to heat shit up on the stove, for all meals, and grandma was terrified of microwaves, evil radiation machines! Still have dad’s microwave detector from Radio Shack, LOL, like microwaves are ionizing. And BTW, you could use the light bulbs to cook on they were so hot. Tried grabbing a wimpy 60W incandescent lately?

    When I was last in Chicago my AC died. I could reach out and feel the incandescent bulb from across my tiny apartment. Imagine using a vacuum and a white-hot filament to achieve light. Step up from a candle I guess.

    I imagine explaining to my dad, “Nah, we just leave that light on all the time.”

    “Doesn’t that run up the bill?”

    “No. Not really.”





  • You’re right, but consider how poisonous those names have been made to conservatives. Their ears automatically clamp shut.

    Know the jacked up part? If conservatives listened to either one of those two, without knowing who they were, they would be all ears.

    First time I heard Bernie was on NPR, had no idea who was talking, but I gathered it was a politician running for office. (This was him running against Hillary.)

    “LOL, this guy is a joke. You can’t actually answer questions honestly and in a straightforward manner. Holy shit! He just answered a question about Israel without mumbling around. Fucking love him, but whatever he’s running for, he’s going to lose.”

    Yeah.
