"...upon reflection we are probably in a budding police state..."
That's preciously simplistic since the country has been taken over by mobs decades ago. :/
A scene I never forgot...
Talking to a cop, 1972, Little Rock. I read the Latin on the shield on his car door: "Populus Regnant... the people rule." (regnat? not as close to my Latin ed ad I was then)
"Is that what it means?" he answered. then said, quietly, introspectively. "Not anymore they don't."
"You ever have one of those mornings where you just wake up at 0330, and can't get back to sleep?
So then you make a pot of coffee, and lurk amongst the Morons for a few hours?" - Village Idiot's Apprentice
Hahaha! Pretty much the same here -I'm lying in bed thinking I should try to grab another hour's sleep, but will probably get up and start the coffee.
The Big Dramas sure do come in the wee hours!
And when I look at that last sentence through Beevis glasses...

Thank your angels for upputing with you.
Thank you for upputing with me.
Piercello, Maybe we've reached Internet Overload at last. Chaos! Riots! Panic! People walking around staring at blank cell screens.... Net zombies!
0341, if still here.
Dad's gone 46 years this month. Never got to know him well enough. Never quit missing him.
Cable was off half the day, apparently for a good chunk of the town. Still off when I left for home. Wonder what that's about. Did a little work by transferring files via cell. Lotsa fun.
At least I'm not down to the 300 baud acoustic coupler.
I heard a rumor on the ONT that there was a still-lively pot thread going on, and I said to myself, self? go hustle some hits. 'Cause I usually wouldn't brag about...
Head Shop Comix
LEGAL AND SAFE!
But your mother might not approve.
Webworks — comix mostly — which examine the appeal of indulgences and the consequences of desire. And you don't have to be stoned to enjoy them! (Which is not to say you'll get the joke in any case!)

It was a phase I was going through, artistically....
And donation buttons are on every page; help me save up for legalization. (In about 20 years in my home state.)
Man, I am typo-laden and editing-impaired this morning.
Pretend I put a half-dozen corrections here.
Which themselves introduce three new typos.
This is also how I program.
Grrrr..... have they ever once been right in any of their predictions????
The Coming Ice Age....
: fixerupper
That ~25,000-year cyclr is still right on schedule, if volcanoes, mini-ice ages in the meantime aside.
Stock up on reliable petoleum.
Wow. That ladt was sposeta been this nic:
mindful webworker - but are there any earthlings anymore?
But I don't think I did that cause then the browser crashed. I blame the programmers.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) -- A beloved priest who was killed in the Northern California city of Eureka was beaten to death with a wooden stake and a metal gutter pipe, his autopsy shows.

There ate so many monuments to Satan....
Over the weekend, Paul Hellyer, former Canadian defense minister, went on television and declared that not only do aliens exist but that they walk amongst us and are responsible for some of our modern technology. Among these tech gifts are the microchip, LED light and Kevlar vest.

Men in Black was a documentary.
Poppins, no, I meant about when did you start posting stories on here? If one were to go back to collect them?
Happy Birthday chique! Now that you're 21, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Reposting myself from ONT .. why not?
Didn't click thru to the test, but...
I'd like to think I'd be played by someone with that guy who plays Captain America's looks, with some Ricardo Montalban style, a touch of WC Fields and Tom Mix. (Pre-fame, Tom Mix worked for my grandfather.)
But it would probably be a drunken Jim Carrey.
Edison "imagined his viewer to be a cylinder the size of his phonograph records, with approximately 42,000 images, each 1/32 of an inch wide."
So, if he hadn't gone with linear strips, we would have had the proto laser disc 50+ years sooner...?
Interesting tech tale, MPPPPPP.
Say, Poppins, about collecting the stories, any idea when you started?
"Satanists have unveiled their proposed monument for the Oklahoma state Capitol."
Because all Western Law and morality was based on Lucifer's Manifesto, just like they teach in the Federal Child Indoctrination Centers.
The Satanists' true "memorial" is everywhere, they just don't like it as such: Christ crucified. I could see a statue of that next to the Ten Commandments.
"Cats woke me up at 5am, even though they were camped all around me keeping me pinned under the covers." : Anna Puma
Hahaha. Aren't they great!
It's an emotional mixed bag. They're all warm and furry and purry, but between fearing crushing their little selves and cursing the deadweights trapping me in bed, and making it impossible to pull the covers up over me... high entertainment value... for certain definitions of entertainment.
Had to get up to watch the sun rise. S'posed to get up to the 40s today, and I just wanted to make sure the sun arrived. So far, so good.
Also, new thick wool socks for Christmas, hung in the furnace room overnight. mmmm... Warrrmmmm.
GOOD MORNING, FOLKS! Have we all survived the Polar Express?
before sleep overtakes me...
