Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

[Haywire]

Literally the only thing I miss about living in a bigger city (Omaha, NE) is the variety of stores and shops within a reasonable radius. I used to have Krypton Comics where I got comics and anime cds (and later, dvds), Dragons Lair where they had anime vhs rental (dating myself, I guess), a shop in South O that had all kinds of trading cards, Aki Oriental that carried candy toys, all manner of snacks and drinks, and Manga, and a bunch of other shops for used books, movies, music, and food.

Where I live now is quieter, and generally a cheaper cost of living, but having interests in anything beyond what Walmart carries involves a 25-45 mile drive, minimum. (Assuming I'd rather patronize a physical store and not just order everything online, which I would.)

I'm never leaving the coast. My crazy grandma is always telling me I need to get away from here and come live in the forest, but I wouldn't do well out there.

My neighborhood is still doing fireworks.

My neighborhood is still doing fireworks.

Mine too. Like, I'm glad there's still patriotic feelings to be found in this country, but c'mon! People still have work the next morning.

You can pry their fireworks from their cold dead fingers. If you can find them.

[CoffeeHorse]

My town wouldn't cancel this holidaymonth no matter the cost.

I like how Flash's face perfectly reads as "I don't know how to react to that."

 

[unluckiness]

I just realized that the Flash is blonde here.

I keep forgetting that they brought Barry Allen back, when Wally is the best Flash.

You know you are a child of the 80s when you are playing Gobots with your almost-4-year-old son, you pick up your favorite helicopter Gobot (Flip-Top), and even though its the wrong type of helicopter, the Airwolf theme song immediately starts playing in your head.

...and you know he's your son (and/or you are raising him right) when he does the same thing, only out loud.

This cardinal hasn't shut up since dawn. Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep... Peep...

It's a very sharp peep. It's starting to hurt.

Maybe its battery is running down and the <insert three letter agency here> hasn't gotten around to replacing it yet.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

It finally stopped. That went on for just over 10 hours.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

The vague yet menacing government agency heard your complaint.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Nope. It started up again. It's been going again for almost 3 more hours.

This bird has to be possessed. No animal's vocal chords can withstand this kind of assault without demonic assistance.

Got an ad for the new Thor movie that was mostly an image of the poster. I was like WTF is Palpatine doing there. Turns out it's supposed to be Gorr the God-Butcher. I mean, dude was an angry nudist Twi'lek at the best of times but this is ridiculous.

Also, Love and Thunder sounds like the incoming XXX parody.

Have you considered a bb gun?

 

[MEDdMI]

That would seriously injure or kill such a small creature.

Not seeing the down side here.
