"With this new radiomatic isotropal telescope we can see things as they really are."
"Really."
"Truly."
"What's the weirdest thing you've seen?"
"Everything actually does #revolve around the Earth."
<stunned silence>
"Yeah, blew my mind, too."

"It seems like this shit happens every hundred years or so and the good people have to slap down the oppressors. That's why we call it a #revolve-o-lution."
"Catchy."
"Yep. We have shirts, bumper stickers, and we put the logo on the custom-built batons."

Book Review – Fat Monster by Gevera Bert Piedmont And lo, like the sound of a chorus of angels belching ripped across the sky, this blog is back up and running with new wacky hijinks. I’ve got my scotch, my nicotine gum, and VNV nation all r…

Finally started #blogging again. My poor #wordpress site was lonely.
First up: A #bookreview of the delightfully twisted "Fat Monster" by Gevera Bert Piedmont

"I heard you could #fascinate a woman by offering her a piece of cheese, but it totally didn't work. So now, after a hard day of trying to hand out slices of American cheese I've got a dozen restraining orders filed against me."

Personally, I'm #fascinated by the increasingly improbable lies that govern our lives. They must be driven by fear and desperation because no rational person could concoct this crap.
#vss365

That's the plan, Mikey.

Trump already works for Russia so he'll probably give them what they want.

We pull gusts of 70-80 coming off the Sandias here in Albuquerque. Those shake the whole house. I can't imagine 100mph.

Stop doom scrolling. Disconnect from social media. Ignore the wildly propagandized news. Just hide out, drink some good Scotch, and wait for the #tempest to pass.
Get some little pretzels, too.
#vss365

Now that global climate change is in full effect, I'm looking forward to more #tempests. Regular wind storms won't cut it; I need something massive and raging that'll tear the shingles off the world.

The pork-like structures in my P.F. Chang's frozen lunch are suprisingly tasty.

"Knuckleheads. Idiots. Morons."

"Sorry, just #frustrated because we're living in a dipshitocracy."
#vss365

You ever feel like a #frustrated necromancer living in a world where the only burial is cremation?

"The measure of a person is what they #endorse. Tax breaks but murder and rape? Not a great person. Higher taxes but a stable, functional, just society? Good person."

#Endorse truth, freedom, and justice.
My name is Eric Lahti and I approve of this message.

You ever get the feeling your country has lied to you your entire life?

"I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" was a great entry into that genre.

Sometimes the only rational thing to do is dip Girl Scout cookies in absinthe while watching Fight Club.

Oh, waah. You voted for this hoping he'd punish your enemies and he went after you instead. Maybe next time think before you vote. I mean, it's not like Trump was subtle about what he intended to do.

Instead of saying, "It's #overcast", I prefer to say, "Fenrir the Wolf covers the sky". It has more gravitas.
#vss365

Today's forecast: The country is #overcast. Cloudy with a chance of fascism. A high pressure area rising out of the religious right could lead to lingering theocracy. Fortunately, there are still good people out there.

Spice up your neighborhood a bit with some easy reading.

"Your final task is to #mediate the dispute between the 'pineapple on pizza' folks versus the 'no way in hell pineapple on pizza' folks. If you want to pass, they have to come to an agreement. Good luck."
#vss365

You know your life took a weird turn somewhere outside of Albuquerque when you get picked to #mediate the ongoing dispute between the forces of good and the forces of evil.

"I refuse to beg. I might beseech, implore, or #entreat, but this homeboy is far too proud to beg."
