I went on an adventure.

I walked through a valley, ate lunch on a rock and saw four groundhogs.

Okay, it wasn’t Bilbo Baggins level or anything, but still.

“KITCHEN MISHAPS” Season 1, Episode 1

Eric’s Epic Detrimental Deluge

Don’t put a trigger on a hose unless you want me to re-enact the scene in “Aliens” (1986) where Hudson ****ing goes berserk with his pulse rifle against xenomorphs attacking from every angle.

“YOU WANT SOME?!  *GET* SOME!!!”

“A chance meeting with someone from the past is in store.”

Which store?  Target?  Victoria’s Secret?  B&D Comic Shop on Elm Avenue?

Not to be a Negative Ned here, but there are some people from my past I wouldn’t want to meet by chance.  That’s why they’re in the past.

Though it’s important to note that my fortune here says the past, not necessarily my past.  Which I suppose could mean I’ll meet William Jennings Bryant at the bait shop or something.

I probably think too much about these things.

(And a mad king, to boot.)

As I recall, they’d also have a problem with a president acting like a king — and attacking every check on his power, including the press, the courts, term limits, his political opponents and his own justice department. The pure f***ing imbecile even threatened Saturday Night Live with “retribution” for parodying him in a sketch.

The MAGA crowd only invokes the framers when it wants to evoke a vague, romanticized pretext for whatever weird, braindead, id-driven bullshit is on its anti-democratic agenda.
