Re: vaporous entities and musings (in other words - BS)
Today, I had to get my car inspected (State Inspection and Emissions stickers).
Well, the dealership doesn't have Cable TV anymore. IT has the Chrysler "box" that shows a well-chosen bland and totally unoffensive drivel stream of advertisements and show pieces-parts... It's soul-suckingly awful. (except for the movie previews) ... I looked for a magazine and found a 2013 TIME magazine. A Better Homes and Gardens from 2017.
There were two Tuesday Newspapers sitting neatly folded and unread -- Tuesday August 21st and Tuesday August 28th.
HOWEVER, the piece-de-resistance was the new TV...
In the space of two hours, there were Three excerpts from Rachel Ray's TV show. One with Dennis Leary being a total ass (yes, I can tell when he isn't being a total ass) and two where she was cooking -- I want to know WHO, WHO, WHO thinks Rachel Ray is still a good people-person cook for people.
She also sells dog food in vast amounts.
It's like Purina tater tots. Fancy Feast Salmon Patty Cat Chow on a cedar plank...
Mindless...

Re: vaporous entities and musings (in other words - BS)
My nearest McDs for thee 5:30 am old farts koffee klatch had a tv, but if conservatives didn't raise hell about one station, liberals raised hell about the other station. Finally they just put it on the weather channel, which I'm sure irritated some conspiracy buffs. Finally they took it out and put in elevator music, so now people can bitch about the volume. But at least they have today's paper for sale, which some old stingy old farts only borrow and put back, occassionally reasonably folded with the sections in order.

Re: vaporous entities and musings (in other words - BS)
My brother was over my house once and I changed my cable TV to its Elevator Music channel (I get like 50 different musical channels)..
My brother complained about it because he couldn't play "Name that Tune" and "Gotcha" if I didn't remember. Plus, he discovered SIRI and simply drives the world crazy asking you to guess trivia and then he asks Siri for the answer.
In past years when the Car Dealership had a cable lineup, I avoided putting on the all-news channels because it invariably bothered someone. That isn't a polite thing to do and besides, who wants to argue politics at the car dealership?
I have left on cooking shows, talk shows, NASCAR racing (Surprisingly a good choice for a dealership), and repeats of all those shows they repeat, over and over...

From an advice to the lovelorn column:
"Do not out your closeted boyfriend as being a boot fetishist with size 11.5 feet to all his friends with size 11.5 feet."

Has anyone seen "chaste-tweety belts" which are thumb locks for those who tweet and text too much?
They are a little like chastity cages for men to put on their thumbs.
Like testicles, they come in pairs.
Remember - don't venture into forbidden politics, just laugh, giggle, smirk, chuckle, whatever

Charlotte's Legendary Lobster Pound in Maine gasses their lobsters with marijuana
so the lobsters are high when dropped into marijuana infused boiling water.
Charlotte says the lobsters aren't as anxious when they are stoned.
I think she's blowing smoke.

When you feel down and out from the world beating you down,
When the great wheel of fortune has run over your dreams and ground them into dust...
When you think that the world has singled you out to bear all the punishments ever conceived because "you did it"...
Well then...
Remember - you aren't powerless -
One, just one of your pubic hairs can shut down an entire restaurant!

"I invited my boyfriend over, and everything seemed to be going great. Then my three-month-old kitten thought it was a great idea to play with his balls. I should mention he’s not declawed."
I read this in a "news" story... I'm basically a dog person because cats have claws and several have tried to use my legs as scratching posts. Also, I refuse to empty a litter box. My dog at least has the courtesy and brains to do "it" outside.

Found in a review of some music:
This chipper ditty encounters a wealth of ingenious contrapuntal and harmonic adventures as it scurries along with the perfect balance of naivete and sophistication.... ... ...
