@starbreaker I went to high school with that kid, Ed Komposky. Good friend of mine back in the day.

@offby1 Confederate Memorial Day?! Is that new? That is some fucked up shit.

@craigmaloney That's pretty cool. Thanks for the link.

@MissSnarkerson @starbreaker @Mainebot Are you sure it was snort? TOOT!

I saw some of the protests on TV, listened to live reports on the radio, listened to some of the speeches.

It was all very impressive and moving. But made me think we older generations should feel a sense of shame that we never had the energy or courage to light that much of a fire under our own asses.

We're the adults. We shouldn't be requiring the kids to protect themselves. They shouldn't have to do this, but I'm glad they are.

@pzmyers Rebecca Otto!

Regarding the "TOOT!" button: I'm just going to admit it, and you can judge me as you will, but at the age of 55 farts still make me laugh. It's sad, pathetic, and immature, but I'll bet many of you out there are thinking yeah me too.

@marijn
Been that, done there. I need a guy like Gary Walsh on Veep to whisper reminders as I talk to people.

My one-lummox power snow thrower is old, rusty, and creeky, but gets the job done. Barely, and not without complaints. And some maintenance is required the next day.

@craigmaloney I use Barbed Wire Acid Fire, now with fresh apple scent.

@pzmyers I am a strong proponent of the hollow Earth theory, but I believe we are on the inside. Outside it's turtles all the way up.

@brokenfingers Yeah, I'm using "Happy Holidays" this year just to rub it in to the godly Christmas Warriors.

@MissSnarkerson Waves back.

I have 10 days to kill before I go back to work on Jan. 2. Should I fill up the time with all the chores I've been neglecting, or chill and catch up on my reading?

You've probably guessed I've already settled on the second option, mostly. But I'm needy and seeking validation.

What are others here doing with time off, if you have some?

In fact, I should have used that as my user name.

@pzmyers , I was thinking an "Ironic Mustache" club.

Hello, new guy here. Refered here by @pzmyers . I'm also an old homely guy with negligible charisma.
