Breakfast at The Texas Tavern.

Super-fast, super-cheap, super-good.  I even chatted with the cook about comic books.

I do love this little Southern city.

Update — tried to befriend a feisty sparrow on the way home today. But they’re fickle about who they mix with.



My friend Jesse Rooney’s Donald Trump / “Clerks” joke:

Everyone:  “34”
Gen X:  “In a row?”



😀

Enjoy this short story.

So I finally located that cache of shorts in storage that I was looking for.  Now I can finally dress for the hot weather.  Sorry about my blinding white legs, Roanoke.

How white are they?  Let’s just say I hope you didn’t throw out your eclipse-viewing glasses.



Throwback Thursday: “Highlander” (1986)!

I shared a meme about “Highlander” (1986) on Tuesday, and my girlfriend told me that she had never seen the movie.  I conscientiously informed her that is absolutely the greatest film ever made.

Okay … it isn’t exactly the greatest film ever made.  Among other things, it portrays an Egyptian (Sean Connery) with a Scottish accent and a Scotsman (Christopher Lambert) who has a … French accent?

It’s still a damned enjoyable movie though.  (And it is sacred amongst a lot of 80’s kids, including me.)  Hell, I might have to watch it again just for the wicked-cool establishing shots of 1980’s New York.

I’m sorry, Miss Jackson.

Shirley Jackson’s response to a critic is peach perfect.

Better Living Through Lethargy

Pro tip — if you clean your house without your glasses on, it takes half the time, because most stuff looks clean enough already.

I swear this works.



“The Unsuccessful Skygazer (Night 2!) Rhyming Couplet”

Again the skies incur my spite —

I still can’t see the northern lights!



“The Unsuccessful Skygazer Rhyming Couplet”

Damn the sparing heavens and their promises of green!
First a hidden eclipse and now the northern lights unseen!



damn

C’mon. This joke deserves a big Han.

Pro tip — if you missed the opportunity to celebrate “Star Wars” Day yesterday, May 5th is Cinco de Cryo.
