Fear not, Padme; Generation Z will save us by turning out in unprecedented numbers in 2024. The ongoing sorting by disease, stupidity, and of course, gravity and inertia will continue to score.

Typhoon Evac, circa 1969!

That boy exhales class. I can't wait for his "come to Jesus" TV redemption moment.

Late model GB quarterbacks devolve into overpaid -----bags with no class. How long until Aaron Rogers shows up on the Minnesota Vikings payoll?

People wondering what Giuliani will use for his signature move, I suggest "adjusting his shirt" as he did so excellently in the Borat movie!

Trumpleforeskin's bone spurs were acting up, as they were on Veterans Day last year.

This is too easy. As a former Union Steward, I refuse to use self-checkout for anything. If that is what I must use, I will stop going to that store.

Great. Now there'll be somebody else siphoning votes from whatever Democrat runs against Trumpleforeskin. Hooray. Dog bless Amerikkka! The lack of turnout and the Greens put Trumpleforeskin in in 2016.

Our 2002 Explorer has a new-ish after-market stereo. It has a USB port into which we stick a 16GB flash drive full of music WE want to hear. The only radio noise we hear is NPR for "All Things Considered." My wife has decreed there will only be one album per artist. I agree. Many we agree on, i.e., Morphine, Stones, Beatles, Zappa, Quicksilver, Petty, Zeppelin, et al.

T-34 not tank...is potato.

Prison rape is never an appropriate result of being in prison. Maybe a severe beat-down instead? I'm spit balling here.

#31, I think about parking lot safety whenever I venture out. Luckily, our vehicle has always been a rusty, ancient sxxtmobile. Possibly a criminal might want the present 2002 Explorer to use for a criminal enterprise, but it has almost no market value. Park close to the store. If you're shopping alone after dark, abandon your cart where you parked, the store pays somebody to chase used carts.

I'm sure the school board will create their own "Teechur Serteficashun" for the replacement faculty. Problem found, problem solved.

I'm remembering "Dead Flowers" by the Rolling Stones! Please enjoy the earworm!

Check out the second verse.

"Dead Flowers"

Well when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talkin' to some rich folk that you know
Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
Well, you know I could never be alone

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Well when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another girl can take my pain away

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the U.S. Mail
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave

My wife and I sheltered in place for COVID, and now we're concerned that a trip to ALDI's might be the last time we go anywhere. The dream is over.

#64 from Boaz...part of your problem is you forgot to capitalize races, i.e., Black, White, Asian, etc. This not a big thing, but it can hurt, even if it's unintentional.

FOX News was "smart-sized" years ago, i.e., the smart people have already left. Axxholes and their toadies are what is still there. I dropped the local FOX affiliate from my ROKU shortly after I got my ROKU.

Economists frequently refer to a consumer's "Market Basket." Most foodstuffs have nutritionally equivalent cheaper substitutes. Really. Buy store brands. Where the heck do you think store brands come from? Also maybe drop ALL hipster food pretensions. No one who matters cares what's in your market basket.

The above idea can be extended to all aspects of your life, until you have enough money to live. Rent? Clothing? Transportation? Same rules apply. Once again, my long-suffering wife had to adapt to the idea she was NOT getting a new Mercedes for her birthday. I buy NEW shoes and underwear, and everything else comes from Saint Vinnies! My wife gets ALL of her yarn for crafting from Saint Vinnies.

"Hate the game. Hate the people who play it even more." -- Kids In The Hall.

In the Early Nineteen-Fifties, a few Puerto Rican Nationalists smuggled period semi-automatic handguns into the US House Gallery and shot the place up.

[Verse 1]
Have you seen the little piggies crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little piggies, life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in

[Verse 2]
Have you seen the bigger piggies in their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in

[Bridge]
In their sties with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their life, there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking!

George Harrison, I think.

So then, riddle me this, why might church attendance be dropping?

A possible individual solution might be to NOT participate in sanctioned school sportsball and athletic programs. Just play pick-up games in a vacant lot. You can play with a baseball with as few as three or four people in a game of "five hundred." The person at bat tosses the ball in the air and hits it with the bat. Catch the hit ball one handed, 200 points; two-handed, 100 points; one bounce 50 points; etc. Get five hundred, and it's a new batter's turn.

As the Boomer demographic cohort dies off, and is replaced by Millennials, and Gens X, Y, and Z, things will get better. Frankly, as a Boomer, I get that my time is up.

Horrible question from a horrible man who won't get any of their votes.

Tor, the demographic situation is changing. In another ten years, most of the boomers will be dead, as drugs, alcohol, and disease take their toll.
