I think it was a Kissยฎ that had me resolved that Hershey'sยฎ chocolate tasted like wax. I wonder, does the peanut butter in Reesesยฎ taste like peanuts? Does the inside of a Cadbury Eggยฎ taste like an egg?

Henching, didn't work out. I've been snubbed by more pro basketball drafts than I care to recall. I've tried both extortion, and snitching. I'm getting nowhere with the criminal mastermind-ing. If this Pope gig doesn't pan out ... I don't know what I'm going to do.

Guy adopts a cat. Falls in love with it. He wins a cruise, is gone for a week, calls home. His brother answers How's the cat. Cat's dead.

What I Did Today: Gathered up all my candelabra, and put them in the basket.

I don't think tomorrow likes me. Whenever I get close ... It's as if it disappears, you know? ... I think it's avoiding me.

โ€œHe snorted and hit me in the solar plexus. I bent over and took hold of the room with both hands and spun it. When I had it nicely spinning I gave it a full swing and hit myself on the back of the head with the floor.โ€ โ€“ Raymond Chandler ๐‘ท๐’†๐’‚๐’“๐’๐’” ๐‘จ๐’“๐’† ๐’‚ ๐‘ต๐’–๐’Š๐’”๐’‚๐’๐’„๐’†, 1939

The thing I posted yesterday, suggested that you not take on every cause. Just pick which is closest to you. What about you? Of those damaged or threatened, which are those areas you chose?

When they were first married people often mused "I wonder what Marie sees in Pierre?"

via Reddit โ€“ Recommendations For A Physical Thesaurus Whichever one you get, make sure you check the inside pages first. I once bought a cheap thesaurus from a bloke in the pub, and when I got home I found all the pages were blank. There were no words to describe how angry I was.

Urgent Message: Monday is the best day of the year to buy candy, much better than either my birthday or the day after Halloween.

I would like to think If MFOTUS is gathering up US citizens to deport, who are a threat to his supply of tanning spray and bacon fat, he would include me. I hate to be left out.

I've Asked This Before: Who's doing the president-ing? While MFOTUS is burning down the world, who's doing the job he was hired to do? ... Or maybe his psychopathy is exposing the truth of it, that there is no job. We don't really need anyone there.

Cobbler, heel thyself. Surgeon, suture self.

These are always good to have at the ready. Part of the arsenal.

I just realized my freshness/use by date seems to be smudged, illegible anyway. Should I get a new one? A new me? I'm not sure where to get it, or even if they still make them. I'd hate for someone to bite into me and become ill as a result, ya know?

You might benefit from my first hand, hard won wisdom: Never schedule a bank robbery for immediately after a root canal! YOU'RE WELCOME!!!

This Is The Important Stuff:

Where is the Constitution of the United States? A closet? A basement? Storage unit? Someone's bathroom?

The Single Point That Eludes Me: What is the legislative branch doing? They're not enforcing any oaths, rules, or laws. Theyโ€™re campaigning now and (rightfully) expecting reelection.
