Please do not follow me if your entire persona on here is "I post and repost mostly political stuff," or because you saw that I liked a political comment somewhere, with the hope that I will follow you back. I will not.
I prefer to use this space to escape politics, for the most part.

COMIC BOOK THERAPY! I've been really trying to be good, & curb the spending, but there's a small show every few months at a local Elks Club, & it called to me.
These 4 pics all from 1 dealer. The unpriced books were marked 2/$1, & he gave me the whole pile for $20. Those late-run GROOs!

I don't want anyone to fill in the details, but I have been happily oblivious to whatever the story is about The One Who Wears Too Much Orange Makeup, and whatever it's alleged he did with President Clinton.
Please do not tell me details.

In "Peanuts," Lucy first yanked the football away from Charlie Brown on November 16, 1952. This wasn’t the first time the football had been yanked away from him—Violet holds that honor. But from this strip onward, Lucy was the culprit behind one of the strip’s most beloved recurring gags.

They make it so difficult. We are not currently subscribed to AppleTV. I created a new AppleID to be able to watch the 'Peanuts' specials during the free weekends, but it always only directs me to accept the 1-week free trial, which I don't want. I feel dumb.

That time in 1997 that my friend Joe & I were extras in the movie 'Chasing Amy'. This was from the very last scene, as Ben Affleck is leaving the comic convention, right before the credits run.
Every time they would do another take, we would lean out further to make sure that we were in the shot.

I don't have a kid, but 3-4 times I day, I open the fridge door and make an assessment about how long each item has been in there.
My lunch was some meatballs from Tuesday, sliced up on wheat bread, some cucumbers I pickled on Monday, & some Trader Joe's 'Holiday Cheer' cheese, bought yesterday.

Raising a kid is great but my favorite part of being a dad is eating stuff so it doesn't go to waste.

Just a reminder for anyone out there doing any early shopping for me… I do not want ANY birds (yes again) for Christmas this year. I don't care if you can get 2 turtle doves for the price of 1 or if there's a 4AM door-buster deal on French hens. Zero birds. None birds

A few years back, a friend of mine took the "On November 13, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence" pic, and McRib'ed it up. Which prompted me to recreate it.
