Your 60s should come with a subtitle. "The Sixties: When Bodies Attack."

"What if we make TV Dinners but force them to buy the oven too?" Tovala Product VP.

I don't know about you, but it's like I can feel America becoming greater by the second.

Put a dumbass in charge of a government and they will build a dumbass government.

It's rare to see #murals in #Atlanta defaced like this. I hope it's not a new trend.

Already thinking lunch.

When F. Murray Abraham dies, G. Murray Abraham is all set to take his place.

Sometimes I wonder if my television irritates my dog, then I think about how I would feel if every morning she turned on a box that barked, non-stop, all day long.

Always sell your soul and get top dollar. Best to sell in pieces to multiple buyers. At collection, ask for a receipt & politely explain that delivery is not included. Additionally, the soul must be removed with body intact. Before pickup, require buyer to describe exactly what they purchased.

The way ad agencies believe the public thinks: “Would you like to buy this product?” “I’m not sure. Does Shaq like it?”

You fart the moment your wife walks out the door for work then 5 seconds later she comes back in and says she needs “one more kiss.”

I still say Love Potion #4 is the best in the whole Love Potion franchise.

Who else is addicted to "Love on the Spectrum??"

This morning, my feed is packed with people complaining that they got what they voted for. I don’t know whether to laugh, cry or finish my coffee.

I'm all for the GOP raising the debt ceiling because I know if President Biden had suggested it, it would have gotten full GOP support.

Youngsters: name your kid AI so they can take credit for all the art made in the future.

How I paint small abstract art. youtu.be/Vgg8lgxSfOs?... #art #painting #abstracts

It's a minority POV, I suppose, but it's disappointing that we're in 2025 and people still feel the need for a Pope.

Shopping malls weren't just "an 80s thing." They didn’t die from online shopping or cultural shifts. They died from greed and bad management. With vision, they could thrive again. I only bring this up because I seriously need to go to the food court for an Orange Julius.

Happy to see the the Catholics elect the first American Pope right after the Republicans elect the first Russian President.

My new retirement plan is to self-deport myself 750,000 times.

Bought my own T-shirt for my birthday! rek.gallery/products/mug...

In my twenties, I loved bands with a spiritual edge—or great hair. The Alarm had both. They were hard to find in Knoxville in the 80s, but so much easier in 2025. Sad to hear Mike Peters is gone. If you’ve never heard The Alarm, now’s a good time. youtu.be/QbJ59BM5T_k?...

From now on, the pause I have to take to remember something age has caused me to forget shall be known as the "Geezer Gap."

I don't understand why we have to make coffee. Why can't it just be there?

Artists often freeze at the thought of imperfection. But art is the act of shaping imperfection. We pull from infinite possibility— perfection— and bring it into form. In doing so, we limit it, creating imperfection. The artist’s job isn’t to create perfection, but the illusion of it.

Netflix: “We don’t have that movie. But perhaps you’ll like this movie with a similar title.” Me: “That’s awesome Netflix! You really understand people. Like everyone, I only enjoy movies with similar titles.”

Farting is when you say, “I swallowed air I don’t need so I’m going to give it back but first I’m going to ruin it for everyone else.”

Just turned down an offer by the Catholics to be the next Pope. I don’t look good in hats.

Happy 4/20 Easter. Why does the grass in my Easter basket smell funny?

When I’m around a non-Southerner, I’ll say something like, “Well, smack my mama & make me install a new roof.” When they give me a look, I’ll say, “That’s a real old Southern saying. Everybody says it.” I hope they go home & repeat it like they know something. You don't want them getting too close.

New episode full of dudes. And why not, huh? www.outtatoon.com/122-big-burl...

Doing the right thing only when the law demands it isn’t virtue—it’s compliance. Don’t reward companies for rediscovering ethics the moment they’re forced to.

My wife said to me yesterday, "I don't have an interest in keeping up with what's going on with Trump. I'm too busy trying to be a good human being." And I think that plots out my next four years.

National Security has never been one of their priorities. They're only about money.

This guy’s studio. Whoa. youtu.be/AR1oxx4l5qU?...

"The Secrets You Keep" by rek 24" x 24" acrylic, charcoal, crayon on Masonite #abstract #fineart #originalart

We all had that one kid in elementary school who knew all the dirty jokes and songs long before the rest of us even understood their meanings. Looking back, they probably could’ve benefited from a call to Social Services.

"People's Choice" 16" X 20" mixed media on canvas #fineart #originalart #abstracts

I just invented a new road paving material made of cheese. I'm calling it "nacho asphalt."

It's like someone says, "Hey, there are four life jackets on The Titanic!"
