One Of My Very Own

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Think about this: If you were born in the mid-80s that was closer to WWII than your birth is to now.

^^A1^^

I've decided to stop trying to please people who already don't like me and embrace the joy of being the most annoying motherfucker they have ever met.
^^A2^^

^^A3^^

What would you do?

If they looked homeless I would buy them that meal.

^^A4^^

^^A5^^

^^A6^^

^^A7^^

Why is that so unusual? My wife had shop babies in her stores all the time.

^^A8^^

^^A9^^

To hell with any maladies, that's the way I painted every single one of my murals. I just figured it out.

^^A10^^

^^A11^^

Don't do stupid shit like that.

^^A12^^

Speaking of stupid shit...

I have a commenter who just doesn't get thrill-seeking. I posted a bit about a blind motorcyclist who set a world record and was accused of promoting his thrill-seeking while condemning others. But think of the noble motive of inspiring countless other blind people to better themselves. Now think about the young lady above and her motive. Surely you can see the difference.

^^A13^^

For a long time, I thought vampires sucked blood through their pointy teeth like tooth straws.

PEOPLE


Well, damn. I was expecting the usual 'kick the coyote, grab the dog and run back into the house' and not a fucking no-holds-barred all-out cage match.

^^B1^^

That looks like fun for all involved.

^^B2^^

What are those things?

^^B3^^

In all the years I've been watching football, I've never seen that happen.

^^B4^^

If there is a mandatory evacuation and you don't leave and then have to be rescued I would charge them a fee.

^^B5^^

^^B6^^

Looks sort of like that muggle girl.

^^B7^^

Those things are fucking dangerous!

^^B8^^

^^B9^^

^^B10^^

I watched every artist on the West Bank in Paris until I found the best one to draw my wife. It's truly magnificent.

^^B11^^

She needs to learn to distinguish terms of endearment. I call many young women "darling" but they all know it's a term of endearment.

^^B12^^

I recently told you about eating two baked potatoes every night when I was a teenager. Well, I've found another enthusiast...

Ballet Warmup

^^B14^^

Road Rage

It's the American way.

^^B15^^

Me: Where do you want to eat?

Wife: Wherever you pick is fine.

Rod Serling: But wherever he picked was not fine.

What if we made being alive easy? Has anyone considered that yet?


PLACES


Is this another scene from a video game?

^^C1^^

I'm assuming that's tidal.

^^C2^^

I didn't know that existed either.

^^C3^^

How are we supposed to fornicate with our clothes on?

^^C4^^

Waiting area in Michigan Central Railroad Depot, 

Detroit (1965 and 2014)

For months I exchanged emails with a graffiti artist from Ukraine. I made a comment to him that in movies when they want to show a seedy part of town they just show the walls covered in graffiti and he replied that he had no control over what happened to his work after it was complete.

Before-and-After Photos of Abandoned Building Renovation

And...

Nothing could make me happier than for all the wonderful buildings to be renovated.

^^C8^^

WWII Japanese mini-submarine abandoned in Alaska. 

1943 and 2022

^^C9^^

I strongly advise anyone who can to visit Alaska. I have excellent suggestions that will greatly enhance your stay, so email me BEFORE you plan your trip.

Mosquito season is a major concern in Alaska.

^^C10^^

This polite storm knocks the trees over and then picks them back up.

Food Presentation

What is the most fuckable pasta? 

I'm asking for a friend.

What's the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth?

These days it's about 3 months.


THINGS


Final Destination wannabe.

^^D1^^

They can't sting or bite you so why is everyone afraid of them?

^^D2^^

Bad table design.

^^D3^^

I bet militaries all over the world are all over that.

^^D4^^

I think it's mortar.

My friend Zach used to do that with real drops of water that he sprayed.

A8: the question should be, why is that not unusual?
It's a shame that it has gotten to the point where a mother cannot even go to a job that pays one third of what she needs to pay the rent, and she can't afford daycare for her baby. And her baby's daddy has been long gone.

B3 - What are those things?

I think they are toilets.

Babies & kids don't belong at work. If she slips and falls who's gonna be liable for that injured baby?

That will never be allowed here and I don't even live in a 'first world' country. Gov labour, child services would get the employer into a lot of shit.

Maybe you guys should give people proper maternity leave as well.

If I saw that in a business, I would boycott it and make a noise about it.

PUZZLE TIME
Me: Use Pokemons as a font to make a meme but nobody understands.

Nothing to explain, your brain just needs to recognise the weird font.

"Me: use Pokemons as a font to make meme but nobody understands"

(I took my glasses off, and there the answer was.

Similar but different.

My freshman year in college there was a women obviously pregnant fall quarter. She had the baby during Christmas break and returned bringing the infant to class winter quarter.
One of the people in the group I was hanging out with at the time saw her and the infant in the cafeteria and was commenting on how horrible it was to bring the baby to class.
I told her no, no, no. She is here trying to do the best thing for herself. Get an education, get a good job so she could take of care of herself and the child.
I never meant for her to over hear me but I was pretty vocal. But I saw her tear up before she got up to leave

Dear JNR,
Thank you. I needed that.
I think we can all agree that babies don't belong in, say, a steel mill, but there are plenty of jobs where a baby not only can thrive but it enhances the shop. My wife's customers LOVED the babies being there. And as for insurance, the same applies to that baby as any other baby who enters the shop.

A4: I would do nothing.
The restaurant bought the thief the meal, as it was never delivered to me. I would just wait for them to give me what I ordered and hope the thief enjoyed what I ordered.

A8: "Why is that so unusual? My wife had shop babies in her stores all the time."

I'm not against children in the workplace, but we are not talking about a phone shop, a clothes shop or a woman attending classes with her infant/child/baby.

We are talking about a place that serves food. Tell me, Mr. restaurant owner, how do you plan to keep that baby's drool, spittle, vomit, and germs off my food? Tell me how many time the mother touches that baby's face or wipes it's nose between and during transactions.

FYI - the company my wife worked for (an apartment rental magazine) allowed her to take our child to work up until the child started walking and getting vocal. They even set up a little nursery.
