work of a critic is easy, too

“Nate Silver’s Very Very Wrong Predictions About Donald Trump Are Terrifying”

1. You’re incoherent, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read.
2. At no point in your rambling, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.
3. Everyone is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

“But be doers of the word,
and not hearers only,
deceiving yourselves. (James 1:22)”

“That’s When You Get Member Berries,” a Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - bathos: insincere pathos; sentimentality; mawkishness.

“After this, the Moabites and Ammonites,
and with them some of the Meunites,
came against Jehoshaphat for battle.

Some men came and told Jehoshaphat,
‘A great multitude is coming against you from Edom,
from beyond the sea; and, behold,
they are in Hazazon-Tamar’ (that is, Engedi).

Hey it's one o'clock again!

Then Jehoshaphat was afraid and set his face to seek the LORD,
and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

It’s been a Strange day

“It’s been a Strange day,” said my friend Bennigan.
I thought I might also be giving a ride to another friend from Olathe today,
yet I realized also I’m missing Laser Rangers Thanksgiving:

Dear Princess Celestia:

It’s great to have fun, but it’s even greater to have great friends. And having lots of friends means that you sometimes have to make choices as to who you’ll spend your time with. But that’s okay because good friends will always give you lots of opportunities to have fun. So even if you’re missing out, it’s never for long.

Respectfully yours,

Pinkie Pie.

“So in the present case I tell you,
‘keep away from these men and let them alone,
for if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail;

Can't wait for animosity about presidential election to end, so real partisan vitriol about #HappyHolidays or #MerryChristmas can start

A friend from a while ago rejoined me on Facebook,
and I am doing well and better than I have in three years, I had to admit.

Cubs win World Series?

If you ever been home alone on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, then you might remember Taking Care of Business, a film which suddenly has new relevance, if you remember the plot.

Jimmy Dworski: It’s the Cubs in the World Series - it’s a dream of mine, sir.
Warden Toolman: Smell the hot dogs now, Jimmy. The crack of the bat; the roar of the crowd; you can order your tickets now, Jim.

“Beloved, (1 Peter 4:12-13)
do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you,
as though something strange were happening to you.

But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings,
that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.”

Ted Bradford Jr.: Spencer... Toast.
Jimmy Dworski: Yeah... A toast! To the Cubs winning the world series!... and to big tits!

PostScript to Experiment 645

I had success when I bought some lunch meat and bread from a grocery store, but after going back to sleep for an hour I hadn’t left myself enough time to make sandwiches to take with me to work. C’est la vie!

Bring the beat back 028

This morning I was an hour late to my appointment, an outcome which could have been from it prevented had I simply put it in Google Calendar. Fortunately, I can learn from this; too often I have been thinking backward:

1. I try to make a budget from what money I have available rather than plan how I will spend
2. I dine out because I left no time to prepare meals, and end up short funded when I could have spent so little at the grocery store comparatively
3. I say dates and appointments are important, but I don't write it on a calendar

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,
I will come in to him and eat with him,
and he with me. (Revelation 3:20)”
