Well, I haven't pulled a gun out yet, so I must be human...

It's likely this site is actually using uploaded images for AI training purposes, and the "results" are meaningless.

Ha, ha! Now, that, I don't remember. I don't think I had a TV at the time that song was popular, so I never saw the music video. (I do remember the ridiculously loud pen-scratch noises from the track, though.)

It's nice when people understand "no."

...come on, how fucked up is you?
(I can't believe I remember the words! You're right, though. That song was EVERYWHERE in the '90s. You couldn't get away from it.)

I went to wishlist that on Steam, and realised I'd at some point already wishlisted it.
Creepy Stardew Valley! What could be better?

I could sink into that grass.
No, you know what? I can HEAR that grass--or more accurately, the insects that would live in it. I look at that grass, and I can hear that June hum.
This is beautiful.

(It involves significantly less walking, but a LOT more waiting for people who've missed their deadlines. Also, no fruit.)

I think Stephen King did a story like that. "Chattery Teeth."
In that story, one character calls another character "dude-mar." For years, I thought that was a real thing people say, but I've never found another instance of it anywhere. Maybe it's a misprint for "dude-man."

(I'm posting this as a blanket warning, addressed to nobody in particular, because a lot of folk shoot the messenger when you tell them, hey, that's nonsense. I don't like being shot, so I'm wild-hosing everyone.)

Thanks, I'll look into that! Not sure how interesting I'd be as a guest, as I haven't been a professional illustrator in a while, thanks to vision loss. But who knows?
comment in response to
post
Yeah, that's a good point. I was thinking about podcasting in general, not just illustration/art casting, but stuff like the OFW scandal left a bad taste in a lot of artists' mouths.
If there were a podcast that was mostly about community/enjoying art/spreading the love, I'd be up for that.

Thank you! <3 I'm glad you didn't find us douchey. I think we were more in the early days of podcasting, though. It didn't have that stigma of douchiness then...or maybe it did? I don't know.

Yes, I think starting a podcast is the douchiest way of being involved in a podcast. If you just kind of join one, it wasn't your fault; you're just kind of in there, along for the ride.
I think a Glenshadow's Tavern reminiscence podcast would be the least popular podcast ever. Ha, ha.

Oh, hey! I didn't know there was an extended one now. I was referring to the oldie but goodie by Tom Lehrer.

Can't speak for every SF author, but I'm facepalming so hard I've flattened my wrinkles out. Frustration: the secret of eternal youth.

Maybe it's the time where you write a lot of non-extensive stuff, and before you know it, you have a short story/flash fiction collection?
Or maybe it's more of a holiday for your brain.
Try not to get the doing-nothing guilt get to you. Enjoy your holiday.

I didn't know that about her.
I hope there are a lot of major thoroughfares in North Dakota that cross tribal land, so she has to find other, less convenient ways around.

It had been sitting on the counter for weeks, undisturbed. I decided not to bother refrigerating it before drinking, not knowing (or not remembering) gases are less soluble in liquid at higher temperatures.

I LOL'd, though. Always good, in my view.

Thank you! This answer will not make my soda fizz less, but it HAS satisfied my curiosity.

Either way, there is soda on my desk.

...or maybe it's MORE viscous, so when the bubbles do escape, they do so with more force?

(Also, I don't mean, like D&D ghouls. I mean traditional, eat a pretty woman, take on her form, marry some sucker, spend all his money ghouls.)

...ohhhhhhh, right, that's it. Vampires can make you immortal. Of course they beat ghouls.

I went to art school and did not do this. But I did have a variety of rat-themed trinkets on display. Other than that, I didn't decorate my home. I barely even furnished it.

The thing about flies is not even true. Flies LOVE vinegar. I have a picture somewhere on my computer of MANY flies drowned in a saucer of vinegar. Nobody puts out honey to catch flies.

I lived above a T&T for more than a year before I realised they had a deli. Total game-changer. (I still live above it.)

When it comes to being the bigger person, you could lock eyes with the Statue of Liberty. (Which is 93 metres big. I looked it up.)

I've dislocated my shoulder while SLEEPING on my bed sheets. Welcome to the oldness zone!
(I also sprained my butt sitting wrong and cracked a tooth on a grapefruit seed. The human body is fragile.)
