Today is my day off, whatever that is


I’m partially recovered from my orgy of grading yesterday, and I’m going to defer that last stack of term papers until tomorrow. Today we’re going to the Big City! First stop will be in St Cloud to have lunch with Eldest Son, then off to Minneapolis for a meetup with a few of my FtB pals and any interested and friendly locals.

Since this is a public get-together and I’ve announced where and when, I have received a few veiled threats from various assholes to make an appearance and otherwise try to spoil a pleasant social event. Don’t bother. I will be explaining the situation to hotel staff, and although I think it unlikely that any of these phonies will show up, any unwelcome intrusions by disingenuous harassers will end up with you getting evicted.

And seriously, think about your priorities: when you think it’s important to annoy a couple of friends getting together for a beer, you are one fucked-up person. Stay home. Do something productive with your life.

    Xmas shopping? What’s that? You mean that thing where I go to amazon.com and click on a few things and send packages off to the kids? Then I guess so.

    I’m not going anywhere near a mall. It’s my day off, you know. No pain and suffering allowed.

    Amazon.fraud, the slave-labour and censor-speech site? What the feck is anyone doing “supporting” those arseholes, you might as well “donate” directly to the Kochroaches.

    Obviously you don’t understand the whole freeze peach philosophy. It is their duty to inflict themselves on you and anything other than complete agreement with their sociological dogma is censoring and censuring and stuff like that.

    It means you have strung up the nets, deployed the anti-aircraft cannons (with sufficient ammo), and evacuated to the bombproof shelter. The cheeses are migrating, followed by ravenous hoards of penguin-launched walruses. A surprise attack by the peas should be expected, albeit there is the opportunity to catch a few stray bleus (hence the nets).

    Not really any different from any other day, with the possible exception of Easter or other days of the century. But this is the season of careful ducking, hiding, and quivering in terror, so we’ll not mention the horrors of other days…

    Sweet, I’m almost done grading and could use a break. Awesome! Oh wait, you said interested and friendly. How closely are we monitoring friendly, because I’ve been reading essay exams for the last two days?

    I just love tracking information. I ordered three stollens from XXX.com, and they were sent to Florida, SC, and Oregon. The Florida location has been delivered, the SC location is still on the truck (has it even been near the address???), and the Oregon location was to be delivered today, but had only made it from Vermont to Wyoming…..*snickerI*

    Just think of the Lovecraftian version of those songs and you will be all right.

    If you are unaware of these, I suggest starting with Carol to the Old Ones. Google it.
