    ..well one tradition gone for this year so a new one.  Scottish Shortbread and Hot Cocoa (actually kind of appropriate  as it is a chilly night tonight).

    Happy Yuletide.

    Satire.  It's not for everybody.  Humor is about the twist, the unexpected.  Even some animals react to it in a way that can be interpreted as laughing.  But if you don't like blood, there are a few Monty Python skits that are a bit sanquine(2nd definition of the word).  eg: The battle with the knight at the bridge, the Edwardian garden party, probably more.

    Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrate.  Right now taking a break from opening presents.  Got some new socks that I am wearing now.  They are for cold weather like in Wisconsin but I live in Raleigh.

    Right now at mum's until tonight when I can spend it with the fish. I work tomorrow and Friday.

    I included a picture of my new socks on my feet.

    All this network falderall is only because I wanted to update my DAZ content across the network from my old primary machine to my new primary machine.  When I started looking, I saw chaos in my network connectivity.sad  I can't stand chaos.  If I notice it's broken, it needs to be fixed.   But now, perhaps, after a half week of futzing around I might be able to finally do a proper network transfer of that huge database. (*sigh*)indecision

    I put a stop to the falderall by implementing a NAS and setting up replication from all my devices to all the other.  Using the NAS software.  MS Networking is a headache, and that's on a good day.

    It's true but you have to eat it while hanging over the sink upside down... usually it's safest to use those old fashioned gravity boots or one of those mission impossible rigs.

    Make sure you screw it into the studs or you'll fall into the sink.

    If you get yourself strung up in your kitchen and require rescuing that makes the online news/newspapers, we WILL make fun of you.  We're required to make fun of foolishness.  It's not personal, honest.  wink

    all i remember about pangea was scrat cracked the continents apart with an acorn 

    It was called "not the land".

    What was/is more powerful?  The house size computer or my apple phone?

    Seriously? An iPhone is a supercomputer by 1950's standards. I used to joke that there are more transistors in one cell phone than ever went to the moon. Not true anymore, as China landed 2(!) robotic probes on the moon that are pretty sophisticated. I saw a presentation on the Apollo Guidance Computer. It was brutally simple, but it could do things in real time, even recover from faults.

    My watch is an order of magnitude more powerful than the first mainframe I used after college.

    What do you do with those little laminated cards you get from funeral homes?
    I don't know what they are called, but they are about the size of a baseball card and they are usually laminated and have pictures of saints or other religious icons on the front, and on the back they have have prayers or the saint's stats and hit points.

    They're called "Prayer Cards".  They are still a big deal to Catholics, and we even had them made for my mom's funeral last year.  I think today, they more or less are keepsakes, kind of like the service or mass "program" listing the speakers in a service, or the program you get at a wedding service, graduation, or when seeing a play.

    Just got a call saying that my social security number has been flagged for fraud activity but I hung up.

    Good for you.  "The Warranty Department" keeps calling me to tell me my 16 year old car's warranty is "about to run out".

    ...serious curmudgeon time.

    Just received a notice that my rent is increasing again for the second time in as many years (after it stayed the same for the first two years I was here). Last year's increase effectively wiped out the Social Security living cost adjustment I received. This year it is 10$ more than the LCA I will receive this year, making my rent nearly 53% of my monthly income (in what is classified as a "low income unit").  The increase will not go into effect until April 1st (really wish it was an early April fools joke).  It seems every year I am falling further and further behind instead of even keeping pace with (let let alone getting a leg up on) rising living costs. angry

    Really need those Megabucks numbers to come through the way this seems to be heading. 

    If you're spending more than $10 per month on those numbers, I have news for you...

    puppy hugs and whatever cats do... let you pet them, I guess.

    When a cat loves you, they constantly headbutt you so hard you almost fall out of the chair (or sofa), and make sure to rub their saliva all over you so that every other cat will know whose human you are.

    I'm staying with family and woke up yesterday with a cat standing on the same pillow where my head was.  It was 5 am and if you wake me up at that time, I'm ready to wrestle; bring it on and bring your A-game, kittie!  I'm also a stomach sleeper, so it was easy for me to reach around with both arms, hogtie his legs, and proceed to give him a big hug and two noogies.  Hey, if you're in my bed and you're not my girlfriend, then you must be lookin' to wrassle or get shot!  Luckily for him, I wasn't in a shootin' mood.  angel

    I didn't see him all day yesterday or even last night.  He's MIA even now, so I guess he's all wrassled out!  angellaugh

    I'm sorry about your buppy, Mystarra. 

    ...there are some friends I visit who have a lovely Maine Coon cat which usually is very shy.  However she always comes over to me does the head bump and touches her nose to mine.

    One of the cats here apparently touches noses with the local racoon outside.

    You're missing the real reason for the AARP to contact you.  It's not money.  They're promoting a certain voting block.  If you're getting mail from them, it's because they think you can um; "help" them.  No money needed for that.

    They're persistent.  I used to actually thumb through the magazine they send until I realized that it was depressing.  The lead article is always some famous industrialist or movie star who throws in your face how much more comfortable they are in their retirement than you are.  Well, duh!!!  

    I think the biggest advantage I've taken from AARP is the 5% discount at Outback Steakhouse restaurants, enough savings for 1/4 of the tip.

    Oh, I thank them for fighting the government bureaucracy to delay the death of Social Security, hopefully until I don't need it anymore.  But, no, I'm not interested in the lifestyle of aging actors, and 'round-the-world trips for retired industrialists.indecision

    The AARP does have competitors; at least one is very good.  I'll let you google that.

    I feel like I need to make an alcoholic drink cocktail with beet juice... beet juice sounds like something that goes with vodka... Perhaps beet juice and rum might... What the hell... ?... Did you know that if you say "beet juice" three times a guy with bad teeth, wearing a black and white striped suit shows up and makes you dance the banana boat song?… Dayo...Daaayaaao... come mister bananaman, tally me bananas, something, something big tarantula, six foot, ten foot big bananas... daylight come and me want a banana... 

    Well... apparently he can make you dance, but he can't make you sing good or know the words... and if you sing bad enough it unsummons him.

    Anyway...  ah never mind, the moment is gone, I don't feel like making weird cocktails anymore.

    Mardis Gras parties in New Orleans used to feature a drink called Purple Jesus. It's made from just grape juice and vodka, mixed in a 50 gallon plastic garbage can. At least the garbage can will come in handy after the party is over!

    If you could eat only tough Eucalyptus leaves, and always smelled like "Vicks VapoRub", and green mold grew in your fur, you wouldn't be nice either.  Oh, wait, maybe it's the sloths who have green mold in their fur.  Regardless, koalas aren't cuddly.

    They aren't nice... in fact they are all criminals... the reason the British government sent them to Australia was because of their repeated crimes and attempts to overthrow the monarchy.
    To this day they still harbor a resentment against humans and will tear you limb from limb if you have several hours to allow them to.

    They use their cuddly appearance to lull humans into a state of confused adoration at which point they strike... if they feel like it... which mostly they don't, because they are one of the laziest animals on earth. 

    Koalas sleep as much as twenty two hours a day and spend the majority of the their waking hours (those two hours) gambling, smoking eucalyptus joints and carousing with anything they can get jiggy with... in fact most koalas are riddled with STDs... it's so bad that actor Russell Crowe donated an entire "Koala Chlamydia Ward" named after comedian John Oliver to a Koala rehabilitation center... 

    But don't rely on them being lazy all the time, because koalas can move fast if they want to and can leap up to 6 feet and run as fast as 20 mph... though mostly they choose to ride around in the pouches of their fellow marsupials, the kangaroo... A marauding gang of kangaroo riding koalas recently terrorized residents of Queensland, shooting up a Fantastic Furniture shop in Cairns, robbing banks in Edmonton and ransacking convenience stores everywhere. The authorities eventually caught up with them because of the trail of throw pillows left behind from the furniture store robbery, but this doesn't mean it is safe... nobody knows how many vicious koala gangs are out there... waiting to strike.

    Grumph... My hambone is mostly fat... 

    I had saved a Christmas Eve dinner hambone for snacking and now that I've had a chance to gnaw on it, it turns out it's mostly fat and sinew.

    Not that it's gonna stop me from gnawing, but still it's not as much fun.

    Feral domestic cats aren't nice. But if raised by hand they make great pets.

    Many wild animals can be tamed if raised by hand starting at an early age.

    I've seen tame koala bears that were raised by zoo personnel.

    I thought I'd be clever and put all the cats in boxes and call them "Schroedinger's Herd".  The cats liked it but the humor was lost on the humans who didn't get it.  My first clue was the question, "Who's Schroedinger?"

    Sigh; I hate having to explain humor!  crying
