yamamanamaStuff is starting to happen. We have a gannet, a semipalmated plover (the name means he has partially webbed feet and they look kind of like porgs but not as much as a kestrel does), and a pine warbler. I don't know how to embed videos but apparently in my absence, we released a kingfisher.
We also cleaned the turtle pond, which I said was indicative of how quiet things are.
TJ says that they gave a bunch of kids life savers, got them familiar with all the flavors, and then gave them a bunch where the colors and flavors didn't match and they still thought the purple ones were grape.
Kaylee asked what the difference between green and black tea is and TJ said it’s all in our heads.
There’s a slight minty taste to a shamrock shake, people say.
In fact Grimace is maybe possibly supposed to represent a shake although not even Wikipedia knows what he is. I knew someone who thought he was a decaying chicken nugget and I’ve seen people, probably on theforce.net, say that he’s a crossbreed of Grover and Herry or Grover and a tomato with bad grammar or Jabba the Hutt’s cousin. Courtney thought he was a gum drop.
I'm blanking on her name. This is what happens when the place is closed to the public for two Mondays so far this autumn. It might be Sam or it might be Caitlin or it might not be either of those things. She's never seen a deer in the wild before.
Christabel doesn’t like restraining cats because you can’t suplex them like you would a raccoon because the owners won’t like that. There’s a medication for cats that involves rubbing stuff on their gumlines and she wonders just how the fuck you do that. My guess is you let the cat bite your hand.
TJ says cats are passive-aggressive when they’re not being aggressive-aggressive. He also says that cats are the opposite of mixing corn starch and water. They're solid until you try to handle them, at which point, they become liquid.
TJ saw the woman with yellow and magenta and black hair (she says she needs to redo it soon) carrying half a chocolate cake with white frosting and thought “why is Snowy wrapped in cellophane?”
Snowy was wearing a witch hat.
I think Gavin McInnes looks like a professional douchebag while Michael thinks if he dressed in 19th century formal clothing, he’d look like a villain from Django Unchained and also that Paul Joseph Watson looks like a Fallout talking head and Ann Coulter looks like Supreme Leader Snoke with a wig.
Ivana looks like Queen Brahne and Ivanka looks like Freja.
Michael says that Kavanaugh was an affirmation of rape culture. That's why Trump had to stick with his nomination, not just because he didn't know who anyone actually was and had to be spoonfed the idea by the Federalist Society.
TJ told us about how two AIs were programmed to trade stocks and they did everything as they did, they just did it in some sort of code to be more efficient so we couldn’t
An AI would make a good accountant.
Michael says that if you can afford a yacht, you don't need any more money.
Kenneth Eng is back, apparently. I'd say someone read his latest novel so that I don't have to but it sounds so deranged that I can't help but want to read it, if only I could get ahold of it. It's set on a planet with an immeasurable surface dotted with locales like Forest 141, Castle 305, and Village 208, and there is a villainous Democracy of primates and a desert nation with anthropomorphic worms who sell resources to the Democracy in exchange for opals, which are used to build bombs powerful enough to level a castle.
I can't imagine an anthropomorphic worm. There's a good reason they stick to tetrapods.
The cover art's gotten a lot worse. It's a stock image of a fox superimposed on a stock image of a woman with a sword and they make no effort to make the head proportionate. It's like he's been hanging around the Mad Genius Club looking for advice.
Gamingforce is still limping on and Tritoch (aka HEY GUYS! THE PLANE! IT'S A TIGER) has resorted to interacting with the spambots.
I can't even be angry at it, even if it is one of the most toxic online communities that doesn't have "chan" in its name. It's just sad and pathetic. Although I'm sure that the fact that the toxic people like Denicalis and Encephalon and Hydelloon are long gone helps too.
burning question: Why is it that every other Simpsons episode revolves around Homer and Marge's marital strife and them still being together despite their relationship being metastable at best? You know what's sad? That I originally posed that question in 2005 and it's still relevant 13 years later. Not as relevant, at least. And, yes, I know yesterday's episode was the one where God and St. Peter watch a TV with the lives of various Springfieldians of various religions and not the one where they have marital problems, but nothing really happened for most of last week. Tensions flared up with Ashley again. It was 86°F for a day and then the rain came back. Epic45 released a new album and Here Lies Summer eludes me.
