What-a-Mess

Almost twenty-five years ago, ABC Saturday Morning welcomed you “back to the show” with What-a-Mess, which describes my finances.
Medical insurance covered most of the cost for the ride in the abulance on 17th March, but I have more week than money, so I am taking off Thursday, the day before payday.
“Jesus turned, and seeing her he said,
‘Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.’
And instantly the woman was made well. (Matthew 9:22)”

The Roast of Bruce Willis

My family was streaming the final episode of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, which I’d neglected to watch, avoiding another TV program, a historic and interesting post from the past from Cadence appeared in my feed:
“Atheist: I’m an Atheist! That makes me smarter than anyone who believes in a God because they are all obviously close-minded and stupid for having faith in a higher power! It’s nice to be able to not Believe because the Church has always condemned us, Atheists! We are heroes for making a stand for NOT Believing!

Someone who Believes: I believe in a God because it was something I was taught as a child. It may not be correct, but I choose to believe. I am just like everyone else. I just happen to believe in Him and His power. And I do my best to not shove it down the throats of others who may not share what I believe.

Atheist: OMG!!! U believe in god?! LOLLLLL quit talking 2 ur imaginary friend!!! he isn’t reel because theirs no pr00f he is real! haha, u loser! ur just stupid for having faith. shut up u idiot. being an atheist is heroic because we were always s1l3nc3d in the p@st!!! LOLLLL! quit being a stupid believer haha loser.

Someone who Believes: But I’m just like you... I just happen to not share what you believe in...

Atheist: LOLLLLL!! quit whin1ng! ur so stupid 4 having faith. your god is an imaginary friend who isn’t reel. I’m right because I am a heroic Atheist! that marks me rite! shut up!

(To those of you who read all of it before commenting, I made this post to see what kind of reaction it would get. I’m curious to see what Humans who are stubborn will say in response. No offense meant XP)”

Jefferton ALIVE!

A friend whom I have known for fifteen years, Mike C. put out a call on Facebook for a ride to the Kansas City Fringe Festival.
“I would like to get to Union Station by 12 noon to pick up my volunteering materials (T-shirt). I will be working from 2 until 7 pm, all of it at the MTH theater at Crown Center.”
“As a freelance videographer and editor, being active in the community is required,” and Mike has volunteered at KC Fringe for the last eight years, so I felt more connected to this city having talked with him today.
“Finished with Fringe work. Now waiting out in front of Crown Center, agnostic beverage in hand.”
“Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me,
and I shall be saved, for you are my praise. (Jeremiah 17:14)”

Celebratory note 070

My birthday, in two weeks, always is on the same day of the week as the Fourth of July and Halloween, Valentine’s Day (except for leap years), and today -- the birthday of the following fictional character pictured below and Lauren Faust who adapted My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic for television.
“Raise a Dr Pepper and post an @channel meme because July 25th is Future Lab Member 004 Kurisu Makise’s birthday! ‘Steins;Gate’ characters actually have full DOBs. It’s July 25, 1992 in this case, so Christina’s now 22 (actually 26).”
“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers,
nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, (Romans 8:38-39)
will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Whirlwind weekend 045

There is probably a way to see more than five friends,
separately, in one weekend but I have yet to find it.
I was Captain Laser at Laser Rangers where we watched 3:10 to Yuma and True Grit on Saturday, and met Travis across town, I went to Jersey Mike’s Subs and visited Bennigan, I saw Josey at the pizza place Where the Streets have all Names, and Joshua and I started Steins;Gate 0

whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life;

Much too Young (to Feel This Damn Old (Again?))

Three weeks from today I will be forty; that’s not what is making me feel old or keeping me awake this morning. It’s not even my sister making noise down the hall. It’s a worry.
March 17th someone hit the back of my car and drove off. I did not get much of a chance to read the number on the license, so my insurance has gone up. I followed the instructions of the emergency people and had them take me two miles to hospital, a ride which cost five hundred dollars, which for some reason was not covered in my explanation of benefits, and will go into collection probably next week, so I have to talk to someone, probably.

Toward flecked, Summary of Improv Goals 041

“Although it’s been said many times,
‘Politics is just about virtue signaling for or against Trump now’.”
  1. Politics is not considered the polite conversation.
  2. I know little about the issues to discuss them calmly or avoid ad hominem.
  3. I am on the opposite side of the debate on most issues.
  4. I do not like being wrong or being made a fool.
  5. I would rather keep friends and be respectful.
“Every time I look into a monitor, Prime, my circuits sizzle,” which sounds like a personal problem, I lost a friend with whom I tried to argue recently.
Another friend who once directed me in improvisational theater shared, “In case any of you still had doubts, ‘Trump and Putin vs. America’,” so I replied honestly, “This opinion piece will not change my opinion.”
“There are lots of other sources,” he responded.
“Thank you, John, you continue to demonstrate why you have my respect and admiration. And I was saying to myself today around 3 this afternoon, how I wish I had taken debate and forensics in high school.”
“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial,
for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life,
which God has promised to those who love him. (James 1:12)”

“Orange CHEETOS® man threw our country under the bus,” another friend began, “What are you going to do about it?”
“The popularity of Chester the Cheetah and public transportation could both be a bit overestimated,” I mean, “I don’t know how many people take the bus, but I think in most more populated areas where the infrastructure is robust, most people choose the subway, commuter rail, or the Bay Area rapid transit system. Around here, I realize a lot of those decisions are made as part of the Mid-America Regional Council, but a lot of the streetcars were taken out in the sixties and I haven’t had a chance personally to ride what currently exists from downtown to the River Market, but I guess if it makes Scott Parks happy, then it can’t be that bad.”

Huey Lewis & The Quack

Between the idea for this post and the writing, a tragedy occurred:
A month ago, my father bought two ducklings from an Albertson’s in Oklahoma.
On the Facebook marketplace, my sister found the last two things
to make a pond for “Huey Lewis and Quack,” animal carriers,
and the pond is a children’s inflatable pool, but my point is made.
Someone told us we looked like ducks,...
The Royal Sketchbook - Celestia, “Someone told us we looked like ducks, so when we went swimming in a garden pool, Cadence started quacking and we just kept it up. The few guards nearby were trying hard to not crack up...”

We’ll Always Have Paris

My family and I enjoyed streaming three episodes of Gilmore Girls before and I konked out six o’clock Sunday afternoon.
“‘Huh. I wonder if there’s a connection between the shape of lighthouses, ferries, spermaceti, and Gayhead,’ Lorelai Gilmore laughs and slaps her knee.”

European Vacation

Yeah, I am awake too early on a Saturday, listening to Dad Jokes Radio, and planning to meet Rated PG (he is a friend of Travis, sees a lot of movies, met a lot of movie stars (he has pictures), and those are his initials) for lunch at two o’clock so I cannot go back to sleep since we have been slowly planning this all week via text.

Postscript to Experiment 656

Meeting a friend at Firehouse Subs in Ward Parkway Center is rescheduled to Sunday due to rain although he did ask if I wanted to meet later today. 102.5 Jack FM was playing “Fool in the Rain,” as I was leaving home.
“‘Enter by the narrow gate.
For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction,
and those who enter by it are many.
For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life,
and those who find it are few.’ (Matthew 7:13-14)”

Humor vampirism 035, Hope Floats

“The Burning,” an episode of Seinfeld, kind of works on two levels, and mirrors good improv, yet I have recently been having some difficulty with communication.
“Cosmo Kramer: Well, I’ve got gonorrhea.
Elaine: That sounds about right.
Elaine: Well, I’m going to hell.
Jerry: That sounds about right.”
Noting my production had fallen below a certain threshold for the first time this month,
my supervisor paid me a compliment on Wednesday.
“Arby’s: $1 Coke Floats are here. At participating locations for a limited time. $1 price available for small size drink.”

I don’t know, do you 045

“Twitch is the world’s leading video platform and community for gamers,” where Ravendesk Games hosted an epic roleplaying session Sunday during which a friend rolled a critical, and likewise shared the following a week ago.
“‘All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.’

#14thAmendment, ratified 150 years ago today. The biggest step America has ever taken towards a more perfect union. Sweeping protections for individual rights so broad and all-encompassing, that we’re still working through the implications and struggling to live up to its promises a century and a half later. And every time we need it, as we often do, we have it right there in black and white: "any person" means all of us, without exception, even in ways beyond the wildest imaginations of its authors in 1868. Because in his genius, John Bingham didn’t give us an exhaustive list of particulars... he gave us a set of rock-solid foundational principles, ready and eager to be applied to new contexts and new persons.

The Declaration of Independence talked of universal, inalienable rights, but it was the Fourteenth Amendment that made individual rights the supreme law of the land, and that’s something worth celebrating every bit as much as the day we just marked with fireworks and parades.”
“looking to Jesus, the founder, and perfecter of our faith,
who for the joy that was set before he endured the cross,
despising the shame, (Hebrews 12:2)
and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”

The Endless Eight Ripping Friends

“Politics is just about virtue signaling for or against Trump now,” while some say he is a Word of the Day from Dictionary.com - makebate - Archaic. a person who causes contention or discord:
Honestly, I haven’t listened to 96.5 The Buzz in a while and I’ve seen even less from their page on Facebook since the new algorithms, but they’re giving away hot dogs at a protest when Vice President Pence is visiting tomorrow, so no more following that page.
The music played by 96.5 The Buzz is not dissimilar from X 105.3, to whom I also haven’t listened much because they’re among my second group of preset stations to which I only turn when 94.9 KCMO starts to play Christmas music.

How’d They Do That?

A tree-tremendous splash was heard, “Croatia beats England in extra-time to reach first World Cup final,” and that’s why you don’t bet with Justin Timberlake.

Two best sisters play Again (Again?)

Wow, a year has passed since this animation was posted to YouTube.
Unlike the hosts for ‘Two Best Friends Play,’ the game ‘Fallout 4’ is rated M for Mature, so the following contains extreme violence and much strong language.
Machinima also produced ‘Combiner Wars’ and ‘Titan Masters’ for the ‘Prime Wars’ trilogy. Originally supposed to be an adaptation for the ‘Generic Universal RolePlaying System,’ creative differences caused ‘Fallout’ and changes to the title to be legally distinctive.

later at the Wendy’s, a guy was talking about The 33:

‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’
Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me.’ (Isaiah 6:8)”

Band on the Run by Wings

When I was on my way to Sonic Drive-In,
“Band on the Run” was playing on 94.9 KCMO.
“Just the cheeseburger,” was how I ordered, when I meant I did not want a meal, so the cheeseburger was plain, but my father and sister observed we had mustard, tomatoes, and lettuce, which my father happily added and I returned to the refrigerator. “Just the sandwich,” my sister commented, “is what I say,” and she was right. My sister and I have been getting along better and honestly, I continue to be the one who needs to change; that is just fact.

there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17)”

“And to the rest of you, thanks for watching. On behalf of myself and Harold and the whole gang up here at Possum Lodge ...”
Monday into Tuesday, I was just trying to pull into Denny’s lot and park, but the yahoo in the left-turn lane behind me had the same idea and was following me too closely and seemed -- surprised when I drove over parking lines and began to reverse to park! I had to use the restroom, so I wasted no time on the way to avoid any problems.
Tuesday, a Kia Sportage tailgated me all the way to the department store.

I gato go!

“Cledus Snow: Hey, we really ought to pay somebody for that mess we made.

Bandit: [Hands Cledus notepad and pen] I got that all figured out. Just tell ‘em to send the bill to Big Enos Burdette. [Gets in car and drives off]

Cledus Snow: [writing a note] Send the bill to Big Enos Burdette;
Burdette; B, Ber, B-u-r... [sees Bandit take off]

Cledus Snow: Hell, I got to go! [leaves without finishing note]

As evidenced by the banners on the building in the previous scene, Smokey and the Bandit was filmed during the Bicentennial, man. Also, forgot Garfield the cat turned 40 last Monday; a friend of mine is two days younger, which I mentioned when I wished her happy birthday last week.
Yes, forgot to mention Garfield’s birthday, “Garfield Minus Garfield,” whose character has vaguely inspired mine throughout the years, “Garfield’s Not Meant to Be Funny,” and forgot to initially include an image with “I’m afraid you’re just too darn Loud,” and forgot to change the title “John 8:36” from a passage of scripture.

Randolph ... We’re Back!

On Facebook, Coming to America (1988) was revealed to be have been released to cinemas thirty years ago, and I was able to use the following trivia in conservation Saturday night at Laser Rangers.
“The homeless men that receive the money from Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) are the Duke brothers (Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche) from Trading Places (1983) (also directed by John Landis). In that movie, Billy Ray Valentine (Murphy) was responsible for The Dukes losing their fortune.”
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,
because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor;
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives, (Isaiah 61:1)
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;”
