Definitive proof that Mountain Dew is poison.

One of the regrettable things of living in the Midwest is that everyone shits their pants whenever someone outside the Midwest hints they want Great Lakes water. The Southwest isn't just a thousand miles away, but it's also uphill. Not only would we have to build the pipelines, but we'd have to build power plants along the way to support this. /rant

Today in Adventures in my LinkedIn Feed: The marketing manager who posts about McDonald's Australia's new Snapplications program. He doesn't like it, because it might open up your entire social network (wuh? Snapchat?). It might be a good thing or a bad thing.

Hi Octodon, meet Fluff. Four years ago, he showed up on my front porch sick, riddled with worms and fleas and ear mites, and abandoned. Today, he shares in my lunches of grilled chicken.

Everywhere I look in this town, there are rabbits. They are everywhere. If they start conniving against people, we're utterly fucked.

This was just on AMC. IMO, one of the greatest television sequences ever filmed.

Heh, like I said, succulents are new to me. Curious about your grow conditions, how fast they take off, etc...

Anyone else have a Linked In? Jeeeeeeezus, I used to think damnation would be spending an eternity with the people around me in a plane crash. I've found an even fresher Hell, an eternity spent with people as expressed by their Linked In accounts.

There is a rabbit in my front yard. Shhh, don't scare it away.

Alright, which one of you filthy animals is responsible? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/04/08/hacker-triggers-all-156-emergency-sirens-dallas/100212412/

In cold, sterile war and surveillance technology winning the war against our sense of humanity? http://ericbaerren.com/2017/04/09/too-much-proximity-to-folly-tends-to-make-it-seem-normal/

Good morning, Octodon, from my front porch.

Chicken: light or dark meat ... GO!

So, anyone found a fix for Tusky's notifications glitch?

Asked the boss if the staffing ahortage is being addressed, which made her angry because she's working the weekend. My guess is I got my answer.

Walp, it's off to a 12-hour day at work.

So, who is drinking tonight?

Anyway, there is a different old woman who keeps trying to insinuate her way into my private life on Facebook. My friend pities her as a lonely old lady, and I'm telling her the Clay Aiken story to let her understand that having a perfect stranger try to barge their way into your private life always leaves the victim at risk of feeling violated. Even if the story of how it happens is deeply humorous. /rant
