I've had to just turn them off for everybody. And haven gotten used to it this way, I'd like to be able to turn them *on* for a very small/select group of people. 😅

My absolute favorite part of Halloween is giving out candy to kids and asking them about their costumes. Three year olds loudly declaring that they’re PIE-DUH-MAN is a well of joy that never runs dry.

Right, that's what I meant, not that it's "for kids" but that I had a lot more patience (and time) back then and I would have that connection to get me through. I can't imagine reading the LoTR books for the first time right now, for instance. But I devoured them when I was eleven and still reread.

I’m not sure why I never read them in my youth. I saw them all the time in bookstores and libraries. I’m sure if I did, I would’ve loved them too. But man, I really did keep going much longer than I’m normally would have just because I know they’re so beloved.

That was not a complaint! In fact, the *only* tiny whinge I have is not having the other voice actors in the show notes. I recognized Herring’s voice, didn’t know the rest, and had to replay the credits at the end a couple of times to get their names.

But truly - I enjoyed and can’t wait for ep. 2

There’s such a fine line between “I just came across an unusual thing, how curious!” and Always Sunny meme “Do your own research!!!!11!1!1” 😄

The magic smoke came out.

The customer was coming to pick up his new PC in five minutes.

I somehow wasn’t fired. 😅

The first PC I built from scratch was after I blustered my way into being a screwdriver monkey at a mom and pop computer shop (back when those were a thing). I put it all together, flipped the big switch - it was an AT power supply - and discovered it’s possible to be off by 90° with the 4 leads.

Oh! Speaking of flatulence! I have a new "pull my finger" gag for you to try:

Tell your closest friend you're worried you have bad breath, and ask them to sniff it.

When you breathe on them and they sniff, fart audibly. I think they'll freak.

I'd try it myself but I'm divorced for some reason

"If you imagine the Universe as beginning at the first second of January and ending at midnight on December 31st, you will be *way* off. It's actually 13.8 billion years old. We know this, and at least a half-dozen other things, thanks to a field of study called cosmology."
