I hope John Roberts can't watch the NFL playoff games today because he has explosive diarrhea.

@msbellows This one's specific enough to travel down the blood line, ... like the one on the house of Atreus that led to Agamemnon's demise

@TimothyRoes So you're saying that 100 years from now Roberts' great great great grandchild's shoelace will break, slowing the delivery of a vital message and ultimately leading to the final demise of the American empire?
Cool, cool, I'm good with that.

I hope John Roberts' shoelace breaks, and not at home where he could just change shoes. And that those shoes have fairly short laces anyway, and that it breaks right at the eyelet where the knot will get in the way.
Yes, I’m beginning to feel the catharsis

@GhostOnTheHalfShell Excellent. That is my purpose. Steady, small, drip by drip.

If it's the John Roberts that I'm thinking of, I hope more than his shoelace breaks.

@nanowiz ((It's the John Roberts you're thinking of. And don't worry about it not being enough; there's a whole thread of curses!))

I hope John Roberts orders Chinese for lunch and it comes with those chopsticks that are rectangular in cross-section instead of round and when he separates them it splinters just a little and he gets a tiny splinter in the ball of his index finger and it's one of those splinters that's set so deeply there's only a tiny little nub sticking out that's not enough to grab with tweezers but every time he picks up a pen or taps a keyboard it jiggles it and hurts annoyingly.

@msbellows I hope that the Chinese food gives him atomic, painful, explosive diarrhea.

@david So so I, but that would impugn a proof and delicious ethnic cuisine, and also I already used that wish in the very first curse in this long thread.

@david Easy answer: you're a slacker! (Said by a fellow slacker, so don't worry, I'm not judging you.)

@msbellows I'm definitely a slacker. Always was…
School: ”We feel you are an underachiever despite your high IQ.”
Me: “Whatever.”

@david Also, it's probably a "tell" that I'm defining "slacker" as "someone who doesn't spend enough time on Mastodon to catch every single one of my posts in real time."

You might enjoy a work of satire I wrote in 2024, following Trump's reelection.
Evil Sorcerers Need to Rediscover the Art of Subtlety
By Malakai Castlequill What follows is either a mediocre attempt at satire, or an opinion column originally published in the Wiz...

@msbellows today was an exception as prior, I've been working but finished it all yesterday. Well at least until next week.

@msbellows I hope there are blackberry canes in the side yard this weekend when he goes back there to see what the smell is
and one of them smacks him across the back of his leg

@sarae Tell me more about the smell. (And are there blackberries in D.C.?)

@msbellows I think it's going to be very hard for him to find the smell
the smell comes and goes

@sarae Is... is it under the floorboards?
