I've made lots of mistakes in my life but the fact that I've never been invited to a gender reveal party means I've cut the right people out of my life 😎 I stole that from a meme I came across recently but hey, if the shoe fits... Can anyone explain people's obsession with these things? Anybody outside the US familiar with these things, or is it some strange American obsession?
At least a couple have turned deadly in recent years, including one where they 'accidentally' made a pipebomb. Igniting gunpowder in a confined space, I mean what could go wrong?
Speaking of igniting gunpowder, if there's smokers in your life and you want to have a little fun with them just put a tiny bit (I'm talking 5 grains/0.32grams or less, what's in a single .22LR shell) in their ashtray and cover it will a little ash. Now that I think about it, you probably shouldn't do that. . . but it is funny to watch when someone stubs their cigarette out in it.
If anyone else wants to play along and use the #fridayfreewrite tag I'll be keeping an eye on it and throwing out some upvotes to anyone who plays along. My upvote ain't worth much (2-4 cents) but aside from using the tag there's no rules beside to have fun.
We have a new federal holiday here in the USA, I'm rather interested to see how it's observance plays out. It should clash nicely with the 'Murica, fuck yeah' mythos but if last year was any guide it should rival the 4th of July for fireworks.
Thought I was going to get to witness a head on collision yesterday, some jackass in an SUV decided that instead of slowing down and waiting for the car in front of him to turn he was just going to pass in the turn lane. . . and came a hair of plowing straight into an F-150. Around here at least it seems most people's last damn has been given and they ain't wrapped too tight. How's things in y'alls neck of the woods?
This pandemic may have been a bit rough on the humans but the cats seem to be doing well. They seem to think that if we're here they should be fed and entertained whenever they want... Anyways, that's enough out of me, I will leave you with this piece I recently happened upon about the poets of Gaza.
