A buddy of mine, cooking in his kitchen: “You missed the fun — I just broke down a chicken.”

Me: “What did you do? Tell it a bunch of your jokes?”

Throwback Thursday: “The Six Million Dollar Man” (1973-1978)!

Leave a comment

I was joking around on Facebook just yesterday about “The Six Million Dollar Man” (1973-1978).  I would have been a baby when this originally aired, but, like a lot of Gen X’ers, I can remember it pretty well from reruns.  (I am linking here to the Potentium Youtube channel.)

I still remember being a little kid and trying to make the show’s (indescribable) signature sound effect when lifting something heavy.

Hey, gang.  If you’re concerned for my sanity and want to monitor my mental health via the safety of your Internet connection, I’ve started a page here at the blog for poetry publications in 2023.

I hope that you are all having a happy Valentine’s Day!

From a particularly thoughtful Valentine who doesn’t care if I get fat(ter).  She just wants me to finish my robot apocalypse novella.

Thank you again, Kind Lady. Nomnomnomnom, smlurmf.

Update: “Nomnomnomnom, smlurmf” is actually a line from my story.
