Damn thing needs its own zip code.
Unless I get it cut once a month, I turn into Mr. Glass from “Unbreakable.”
Or maybe Beaker the muppet at disillusioned midlife.
Meep.

The Daily Show: “Saluting the Heroes of the Pandumbic”
I am linking here to The Daily’s Show’s official Youtube Channel, so that you can watch a supercut now making the rounds everywhere on social media — “Heroes of the Pandumbic.”
It is presented without comment.

This kite stuck in a tree on a rainy day might be the best metaphor for 2020 ever.
Unless … maybe if the tree was also on fire.
And I’m not going that far for a good photo. I’ve got enough problems.

Throwback Thursday: this 1970’s Slinky commercial!
Slinkys are still sold today — but I’ll always remember it as a staple of the 1970’s, when I was a toddler. It was one of my favorite toys.
I remember occasionally needing help from an older sibling to get it to “walk” down the stairs, as it was intended to do. (Again, I was never the brightest bulb in the socket.) I also frequently got it so tangled up that it looked like one of those razored traps from the modern “Saw” films — and an adult had to fix that. But it was always fun while it lasted.
There’s a pretty cute story about the toy’s origin right here at The National Museum of Play.
