CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@HG apropos of previous conversation how about some Soul Coughing?

How I'll sleep if TSA never gets funded ever again:

Seeing people singing with genuine enthusiasm in their cars keeps me from losing hope.

@HG Sorry to say that you missed your calling as a hard-hitting cereal review guy for a major national newspaper.

@HG I think the category of ‘my cat in some (but not all) airports’ is an under-represented song theme.

@HG See, @LRRRonEarth is not just using words, he’s also using condiments. There’s a whole new level being achieved there.

Finally, a place to store all my skin:

I have a very pre-DTMFA approach to friends and family. I can't think of anyone whom I have affirmatively cut out of my life. I enjoy people who, like me, cling tight to their bullshit like a dog mangling the leg of a mail carrier. One of my friends is obsessed with soccer performance metrics and modeling team cohesion stuff, and I love hearing him out. Another is a theologian who is now a crazy person living in a cabin in the woods, and he will teach me fabulous things about Gnosticism on a seemingly unbreakable monologue until I tap out. These are not easy friends to have or keep, but I do it because it's so worthwhile. But it's hard to sustain that commitment for someone whose overriding favorite topic is themselves.
