Wednesday's Digressions

• At work yesterday I had two nursing buddies rolling on the floor in laughter- at a fart joke. 

  

  What 14 buck got me at Bakers Ribs the last time I went. The emphasis is on last time in case you were wondering. Phweeew it was bad. I ate there in the past at least 4 times a month and did so for years.

• People often think of hospitals and health care facilities in general as being super clean- sterile even. You should know the opposite is true- bacteria and virus are by nature highly concentrated there. Hospitals are where you go to get sick- if not already.
• 
• Yesterday I had a black and Bleu burger with bacon at Shaws on Magnolia. Have them put the Bleu cheese on the side when you try it though.
• John Oliver on dialysis in the US.
• Paul's on Hemphill has changed their fries to a smaller, crispier McDonald'sesque type and they are fantastic. Previously their fries were not terrible but they could be a little doughie in the middle.
• Slow clap starting for you now Paul. Bravo my friend bravo...

  

  Sir, are you aware you are a deer?
   Bwhaaat...?! Me?!  This may be a picture of a deer but it and my little joke are a better picture of our hive mind created or at least affirmed by the Internet. I have never seen it but there is a 100% chance somebody has created a meme based on that picture using a similar caption. If they wanted to be snotty they could sue me I guess but there is a zero percent chance I have ever seen the meme.

I found this at The Chive under, Weird Thrift Shop Finds

I think the word they were looking for is amazing.

My buck fifty score from the pawn shop. It along with Night at the Roxbury, Big Lebowski and Kingpin are some of the funniest movies ever made (I think we all can safely agree on the correctness of that assessment). They have Blu rays for 3 buck there now so I suppose this may be among the last DVDs I ever buy.

Monday's Missives

So many questions and lessons. Was he failed by society, family, genetics or just plain old Lady Luck? All of the above? Also- he has a cel phone, money, a sleeping bag and smokes and got expert free medical care for the ankle he broke staggering off a curb or getting struck by a car or whatever.  Even his choice of place to crash is telling. I would not want to sleep there and yes he would be safer in a house somewhere but he is on balance pretty safe there. Even our homeless are rich by world standards.

• "That's huge, and no one's talking about it. (To be fair, it's hard scaring people about Zika for ratings if you just told them even the worst diseases are conquerable.)" From a Cracked article about Sri Lanka being declared malaria free. The point was- this is a big deal and you should have read about it somewhere besides there  ( or by extension, here I suppose). You could also ask, What if there was a minor uptick in drug resistant malaria in Sri Lanka? Well- you would not reading about it here or on Cracked- the headlines of every news browser would be screaming about it.
• The Police song Every Breath You Take has been playing in a loop for hours in my brain. 
• Agony.

  

  Soy sauce- because adding a sprinkle of salt to your egg roll would be... weird?

• A server at one of my Asian places just graduated culinary school. I remember when she first came to 'Merica a few years ago. I tip her more than I should- because I should.
• I keep a couple of bottles of DEET containing bug repellent at home and even one in the truck but never seem to have it when I really need it.
• You cannot look for a repellent without finding one touted as a safer alternative to DEET. There is no alternative to it safer or otherwise. It is highly effective and safe.
• There is nothing wrong with DEET. We should be using more- not less. 

  

  Especially me apparently Omigosh. I'm gonna get the Zika for realz.

• Weird: people who are only alive because of vaccines, pasteurization and antibiotics are opposed to vaccines, pasteurization and antibiotics...
• Humans are so weird.
• I am glad I am from Mars. 
  
  
  

Move along folks, nothing to see here- just a guy with a donkey cart making camp in front of Home Depot in Weatherford AMERICA!
How cool is that?! I wanted to go talk to them but before I could get to them a couple beat me there.
I feel like the donkey is named Pepe'.

I have waited my whole life for this moment
