'I'm just like any modern woman trying to have it all. Loving husband, a family. It's just, I wish I had more time to seek out the dark forces and join their hellish crusade.'
How about some Otis Redding? Here's his set from the Monterey Pop Festival with backing by Booker T and the MGs, along with the Mar-Keys. Hard to beat this.
Has anyone seen Natasha, Pierre, & The Great Comet by Dave Malloy? I know several people who like it, but they're biased. Dave's a local and the kid of one of Mr Demi's former choir mates
I was replying to your comment and my post would duplicate itself no matter my efforts, so I tried to scrub it all together and that's as good as I got. That wasn't directed at you.
OK, wasn't able to get a wink of sleep last night so it's Dopey Story Time. You know that opening scene in Gilligans Island where the storm batters the SS Minnow as they approach Gilligans Island? That little sliver of land was a quarter mile off our sea wall on Kaneohe Bay Oahu. It's not much bigger than a basketball court. Captain Chewy had a 14-foot inflatable we'd pack with provisions and shuttle stuff and 20 people with. We'd stay the night and party our asses off. We'd eat in the local style meaning an endless pot of sticky rice and an ongoing feast all day and night. There was a sand bar right there where all the yachts would anchor for low tide when they could get out and walk the sand, barbeque, drink copious amounts of beer and generally mosh. They were stranded until the tide came back in.
We were like pirates on our little Zodiac, long hair and renegadeness compared to the fancies on their yachts. Our boat could scoot about during low tide. We'd sell the fancy pants weed. We were well known.
Finally got the chance to see the Betty Boop cartoon. And all this time I thought she was brunette!
Good day, beloved Wonketteers. I love and appreciate you all, and I bless us all with love, health, peace, and grace. Please please stay safe. Wear a mask or two, wash your hands, sanitize when you cannot wash and let the sanitizer dry completely, stop touching your face, take Vitamin D, get the new vaccine as soon as you're able, avoid indoor and crowded outdoor gatherings, and when you must meet, remove masks only to eat, drink, and take quick photos, and stay the fuck away from me and anyone with whom you do not share a roof. Do this because you love yourself, and because I love you, too. Do this in memory of our dear departed friend Treg, among over seven million dead worldwide. Do this to honor the nurses and other frontline medical personnel, especially ICU Hera Mrs Land Shark RN. Stay safe.
In Uxmal, a Mayan city in Mexico, there’s a whole temple devoted to the mighty penis. Huge stone members sprout out of the ground everywhere like deformed cacti. Amazing place.
Ugh, working today in a hospital lab, like I do...another 80-something-year-old just tested positive for Covid. Fortunately folks aren't getting as sick from it as they did before vaccines, but my heart still sinks when I have to report one of those out.
I looked up "Cats and brutalism" and there's a whole wonderful website. My brain is being prodded to remember largely forgotten architects while also being too distracted with laughter to remember anything. Two polydactyl thumbs up!
New thread up--I haven't checked to see if the bug on the other one's been fixed yet.
FWIW, Mikaela Shiffrin now has won 90 World Cups.

Mikaela is awesome! Is downhill on tv right now?
Sure that all know one can't post to Sondheim dead if not a Substack subscriber. Fiddle!
refresh and try again. I've had that happen on occasion and a minute later it worked as expected.
Thanks for noting that. I thought that it was just me.
Does anyone have an email account for SER, can you email him that he needs to change his article to not be paid subscriber-only commenting?
Mac Jones needs to go.
I mean, like, now. 🤦♂️
Futility Bowl -- wasn't sure if anyone would score at all. Didn't expect Jones to be in today really.
He shouldn't be in ever again!
Meanwhile here in the non-buggy thread...
How about some Otis Redding? Here's his set from the Monterey Pop Festival with backing by Booker T and the MGs, along with the Mar-Keys. Hard to beat this.

So, tried no non-comment on the new article.
I got this.
https://substack.com/profile/155617549-bradthebot/note/c-44298085
FWIW, I am a recurring contributor, and ‘Becca asked us not to move our donations to Substack because they take a larger cut.
So some retraining on how to post articles to avoid the problem might be helpful.
Same. Been a subscriber to the B4 'Becca daze.
That's interesting. I'm also a paid subscriber, and noticed that red badge of "I'm a paid subscriber" stopped showing up months ago.
It's just a bug -- someone didn't set something right when that article went live. It should get fixed sooner or later.
Has anyone seen Natasha, Pierre, & The Great Comet by Dave Malloy? I know several people who like it, but they're biased. Dave's a local and the kid of one of Mr Demi's former choir mates
The new thread says I can't comment on it because I'm not a paid subscriber.
Have I got that right?
Samesies.
Me, too. And I've got things to say about Sondheim.
Ignore that nonsense.
And thank you for the update. I had stepped away for a few minutes and had no idea that there was a new thread.
I was replying to your comment and my post would duplicate itself no matter my efforts, so I tried to scrub it all together and that's as good as I got. That wasn't directed at you.
Fuck it. I tried.
Yeah, it's a bug. Usually goes away when I reload the page, but not this time.
Doesn't sound right to me.
It's a mistake and the Wonkstaff will fix it. Try again in a little bit
If there are any Wonkstaff hanging around. They’re all allegedly on vacation, and the reposts of previous articles are automated, I think🤷♀️.

Trust me. It was epic!
And when the party was over all the revelers split, leaving the castaways stranded again
It was so much fun. Rich girls love bad boys. We'd steal away the little princesses to our island redoubt and corrupt them.
"Anyone seen Buffy?"
I loved going to the sand bars when I lived on Oahu!
We were like pirates on our little Zodiac, long hair and renegadeness compared to the fancies on their yachts. Our boat could scoot about during low tide. We'd sell the fancy pants weed. We were well known.
I worked at a scuba/dive shop. We would pay one of the boat captains in beer to take us. We too were a ragtag group!
The job I always wanted was to drive a pedicab. That's where all the tourists went for their weed. Talk about meeting girls!
"Sure, I can hook you up and show you the town if you'd like."
"Really! You'd do that for us?

In southern Spain, somebody found a giant stone carving. It's a dick.

TLM?

Worst dildo ever. Ouch!
Incidental note for my fellow Wonkers: I played the soundtrack for this movie.
Oh yeah?
Yes, during my days of playing Hollywood soundtracks. I remember this one.
Ugh, working today in a hospital lab, like I do...another 80-something-year-old just tested positive for Covid. Fortunately folks aren't getting as sick from it as they did before vaccines, but my heart still sinks when I have to report one of those out.
Stollen is out and cooling.
Beef stew with garlic and sage dumplings is simmering away.
I think it's been a productive afternoon.
Should I change my user name to "Biscotti We Like"?

"Stollen"? You baked the 2020 election?
Phaaaaaaa

I think I need to get on a Concorde and drop in on dinner!
I'll make my turkey tetrazinni any day now.
Just not today.
Oh, drool nom nom nom!
Oh Yeah, Caturday. Large Cats with Brutalism!

This is AMAZEBALLS.

Always glad to be of service!
Kitteh, ruler of all Bulgaria!
The CCCP had some lovely Brutal Architecture going on, along with the oppression.
Yah--lotsa cool stuff in Tallinn and Skopje in particular.
