Want to make a “firing range” pun, but nothing’s coming to me…leaving this as a placeholder in case inspiration strikes later.

Electric Six is a weird band to me…some of their songs I love (“I Buy the Drugs,” “Hello, I See You”) and some I haaate (“Gay Bar,” “Dance Commander”) and I can’t explain why one works for me and the other does. My wife thinks they sound exactly the same…I’m hard-pressed to disagree. But the ones I like I really really like.
I was planning to join the military after high school. It was a 3 hour drive to the closest MEPS (military entrance processing station), so the local recruiters only made the trip out there once a week. I already had my date set when another guy dropped out, so my recruiter asked if I was interested in going a week earlier. I said absolutely, because I was dead et on being in the Army, so what difference did one more week make?
So that’s how I enlisted on Sept 5th, 2001…
I don’t remember specifically, but it would have been something on my uncle’s Atari 2600 in the late '80s…probably Dig Dug or Pitfall.
Ok, boomer.
I got my vasectomy done through Planned Parenthood. I had to go in for a screening first where they asked questions like, “Are you sure you want to do this?” and I said yeah and they said, “Really sure?” and I said yeah, so they said “OK cool, come back in two weeks and we’ll snip snip.”
Very easy process, highly recommend.
Too goddamn early in the day for them to get my hopes up like that. Probably just meant Trump either forgot or lied about when his birthday is.
Trusting the home inspector that said the roof wouldn’t need to be replaced for at least another couple years.
Not trying to dox myself, but I also live in Missouri and have a sailboat on Carlyle Lake in IL (about an hour from St. Louis). If you’re anywhere in the area, our sailing club is doing our annual Try Sailing Day on June 22nd. Free rides on a variety of different small sailboats and catamarans in exchange for a gentle sales pitch to sign up as an associate member, take some lessons, and be able to rent out any of the club’s fleet boats or volunteer to crew for someone on the Sunday buoy racing circuit.
Do you live in an area where you can go sailing?
Eat enough alphabet soup to give yourself diarrhea then look at what comes out. Same effect.
I will go on Football Manager binges, overhauling my favorite squads and seeing them to long-term success. Then I watch actual football matches and think, “Why isn’t Dick Johnson starting at left back?” and have to remind myself that Dick Johnson doesn’t really exist.
I enlisted in the Army on Sept 5th, 2001…that was an eventful week.
If they pull a knife, you pull a gun. That’s the Chicago way!
Don’t really know, I’ve never talked to any of them.
Too soon? Also just realized that I misquoted the anthem, which probably didn’t help.
But does that flag still wave?
What he means is, “I don’t want to have to deal with this once I’m President again,” and what he does not mean, in any way, is “I give a shit about the situation in Gaza.”
Mermaids aren’t furry.
