Dumpster Fire

Well that’s what we call a gloriously beautiful catastrophic failure.  Like a plane crash.  Or slow-motion car wreck.  Drone footage of a train derailment.  Sexy carnage. But, to quote the Martha, and that’s a good thing. Took a minute, but found some balls nearby and decided to take the hit, broached the subject of the …

The Four Horsemen of Consumption

Only four things to do with the thing after spending money on the thing. Use it.  Sell it.  Gift it.  Toss it. Most folks will use/consume it – whatever it is – for a bit then either              give/gift it to someone else,                             try to sell it in exchange for cash/(rarely) trade,                                           or throw it away …

Because that’s a big step. So, …

FAFO

Rumor has it, Dave recently went on a rant about Israel’s … shall we say “reaction” ? … in Gaza to the events (atrocities? yeh) of Oct. 7th. There’s no video — because he doesn’t allow that — but first-person accounts relate that he was of the basic opinion that two wrongs don’t make it …

Dim Brilliance

Well that just does not make any sense. I mean … the sense ain’t sensing. Math ain’t mathing. Smart ain’t smarting … at all.
