I wouldn't worry about it. I'm probably the only one that cares
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Reading an article in The New Yorker about whether robots should have rights, I came across this paragraph and couldn't help laughing:

"Last summer, a group of Canadian roboticists set an outlandish invention loose on the streets of the United States. They called it hitchbot, not because it was a heavy-smoking contrarian with a taste for Johnnie Walker Black—the universe is not that generous—but because it was programmed to hitchhike. Clad in rain boots, with a goofy, pixellated smile on its “face” screen, hitchbot was meant to travel from Salem, Massachusetts, to San Francisco, by means of an outstretched thumb and a supposedly endearing voice-prompt personality. Previous journeys, across Canada and around Europe, had been encouraging: the robot always reached its destination. For two weeks, hitchbot toured the Northeast, saying inviting things such as “Would you like to have a conversation? . . . I have an interest in the humanities.” Then it disappeared. On August 1st, it was found next to a brick wall in Philadelphia, beat up and decapitated. Its arms had been torn off."

Me neither. I would have thought my brother would have sent me the story...he sends me all the other random Philly news he can find.

Mourn ya, til I join ya, Hitch.

The blue limbs and grey torso is a little too close to Cowboys colors. What did they expect.

Can I rant about the holidays? I have a relative who asks for money every Christmas. I know I sound cheap, and I have the money, but this shit gets old. They have small kids, who I love, so I give it, but it irks me that they see me as an atm. Him vaping as he he asks for cash sets me off, too, for some reason.

I need to make peace with it.

Were you stammering in anger there?

Truthfully, you should have just said: "Him vaping sets me off, too, for good reason."

I"d start asking for shit in return right after I gave them money

like moving furniture or putting insulation down in the attic.

No one in my family really asks me for cash, thankfully. Mostly some of the young ones hint to me that they need seed money for some not-so-bad-but-not-fully-thought-out business idea. I just hit them with questions about things and tell them the risks. I never offer cash, though.

The other thing going well for me is living in NYC. They have no idea how much free cash flow I have because nothing in my life appears particularly ostentatious...except for my watches.

imagine how much money you'd have living outside of metropolitan New York.

How much cash to you pay out just to be able to get a pizza slice you can fold?

We don't butcher hitchhiking robots in my part of the country either

we just sodomize them

we sodomized the hell out of those robots
