I am going to kill the little redneck fucker who lives next door. He thought it would be a fine idea to spend the night elsewhere tonight and leave his dog, a young husky-type breed, tied to a tree in his back yard. The dog has been barking frantically since earlier this evening. I went over there about 45 minutes ago (yes, at 1:30 am) to check on him, and of course he was out of water, a situation I remedied.
Some people are too stupid to breathe, let alone have pets.
I’d love to be sleeping right now.
While at my mom’s last night, I called her neighbor’s dog a hateful little beast who will never die. My brother then got mad at me because apparently said neighbors were outside at the time. So? I’m not wrong.
And for the record, I like dogs better than people most of the time, so if I think the dog is a hateful little beast, you know that’s the best thing that can be said for it.

I just searched to see if there was a thread on a film I watched over the weekend. I had read previous Koontz threads that had been linked to, but this was my first organic encounter with him. :mindblown: O_o
I’m right now invigilating a final exam in a roomful of some 120 students. I notice that almost all of them incline to their left when they right. This is independent of whether they are left handed or right handed. But I (who am right handed) invariably incline to my right when a write. I wonder what that means?
You’re taking on water and need to man the bilge pumps?
Proofing is not my forte.
Actually, this leads to another random thought. Although I actually write for a living, I find it almost impossible to post something on Q23 that does not contain a typo.
The proof is in the putting, man.

Old people and computers.
My dad was having problems with his XP install, it’s about five years old and full of crap. He’s been using it for years for just his Gmail account and web browsing. I told him I’d be replacing it with Linux (Ubuntu) because it’s more efficient and he’s less likely to fuck it up. I explained there’d be some small differences that he’d notice, but I’d help him to get used to it. He sat down and started it up, clicked on the Firefox icon and asked me “How do I get to my email.” I told him it was the exact same as before, but installing Linux seems to have deleted the Firefox directory in my father’s brain. He didn’t notice a bit of difference with the new OS. Fortunately I used his memory loss to teach some bad habits out of him, like how he would only use one tab, and close it before opening a new one when he went to a new website. Now he’s up to using two tabs. :parents-rollyeyes:
And for years I’ve been trying to get him to switch to a digital dictaphone. His typist lives forty miles away, and he often drives halfway there to drop of the dictaphone tapes, and again to pick up the typing. I explained with a digital dictaphone and some new equipment for her, he could e-mail the recording to her, and she could e-mail back the typing which he could print off on his laser printer. He won’t be having any of it. Although that could be a good thing because teaching him how to use files and folders could be a nightmare.
He did a course called “Computers for the terrified” a few years ago. I think he needs a “Computers for the obstreperous” course. (Yes, word of the day, I knew it already.)
A deep narcissist called me an elitist. How should I feel about that?
By punching him in the face.
Hmmm let’s see, if someone who is totally into themselves considers you to be one who thinks of himself as superior in every respect to others…
Were I you I’d be feeling… like giving up and investing my time and effort with someone who actually has a decent chance of establishing relationships with people on a normative basis.
Or, sure, face punch. Maybe followed by a head butt.
And since this is John Many Jars, a side suto.
Hey, I’m not the side suto guy!
No, but it’s the official Unstoppable Secret Technique of QT3-do.
It has only just occurred to me that Stepsongrapes is ‘steps on grapes’ and not ‘stepson grapes.’

The Freschetta brand has a new line of thin crust pizzas called “Simply Inspired” with a number of interesting combinations. The Pepperoni Pomodoro I had tonight was quite good.
I had to think about your post very carefully, Sarkus, and finally realized that I was confusing pomodoro with pompadour. Then things fell into place.
Is it me, or is there no heat for this Pacquiao-Mosley fight? I know I won’t be buying it (and I did get the last one).
