How is it that Eric Clapton and Rod Stewart made such great music with Cream and The Faces then seemingly forgot how to Rock once they got into the 80s?
Corollary: WTH happened to Ice-T?

My family has chickens. Currently we have something like 9. It's hard to know because I haven't gone out and counted and because we've had a lot of upheaval this year: we had 12 then lost one from hypothermia then lost 3 in a fox attack then had 1 get aggressive so we gave her away to a friend got something like 5 more to try to fill out the flock, realized 3 were roosters and snuffed 2 of those. Good Lord, this seems like an elementary math question. "If Poopface has 12 chickens then......[snip] how many is this fool left with?" Anyway, I think that's where we are, but in this house I'm never completely certain this isn't some sort of odd drug experiment being performed on me.
So that brings us to today.
I was relating a story to my youngest two kids this morning of how we nearly snuffed our last rooster (Wifey was hoping he wouldn't crow much because she really likes "Handsome Rob") last night when he started going ape「dookie」 around 11:30 and were concerned the neighbors would go into open revolt.
My daughter said, "actually, our friend at school trained her chickens to know their names, to come, to sit......."
I live in a crazy house.

Sometime last week my oldest son (13) asked me, "Guess what?"
Being a child of the 80's, I immediately thought, "Chicken butt" but wanting to stretch his brain a bit I replied, "Avian rectum."
He thought it was the best thing ever. I was amused with my quick response, but it wasn't that funny.
Days later -- including on Christmas -- he approached me with, "Hey dad! Guess what?"
Oh, no, I'm not supporting that in perpetuity. I just smirked and walked away.
Behind me I hear a muttered giggle followed by, "Avian rectum!"
That poor kid never stood a chance of being a "normal" child.

I woke up with the theme from “Laverne and Shirley” going through my head. I haven’t seen that show in over 20 years.  |

It’s amazing how much longer it takes to earn silver and then wait an eternity to upgrade War Robots gear (MK1, especially) when you aren’t buying resources.
I’d forgotten. 😬

My house is a nonstop merry-go-round of oddities. Today is no different.
My wife sent me a video containing this screenshot. It could easily be titled, "You know your kids are homeschooled when...."
That's my oldest (13). He's wanted to do that since he first asked for an inflatable dino costume for Christmas. Actually, what he really wanted to do was walk the dog in the costume. Apparently, the dog (and our neighbor's dog) was freaked out.
She's afraid of everything, though

Reading through a few prior posts on this thread reminds me of a chicken story from last summer.
We were on our way home from a friend's house who was hoping we'd take a rooster off her hands (in retrospect, it was like "rent-a-「rooster」" or some such thing). There we were, family of 5 plus a borrowed rooster in a dog crate driving my wife's van home. We ask the kid what to name him. All was going well until my child genius thought of a name.
"Let's name him Peckers."
Try as we might, Wifey and I couldn't hold in our giggles. And snorts.
Boy, was that the wrong thing to do around an incorrigible 6 yr old.

We’re doing something right with the kids!
Out to eat at a restaurant and my 6yr old is singing along to “Sweet Child o’ Mine” and knows all the words.
There might even be a bit of air guitar, too.

Standing around a crowded high bay trying to figure out how to shoehorn a metrology setup into the jammed workspace, one of the relatively junior optical engineers muttered, "we never were taught we'd be dealing with this sort of thing in college." No kidding, son. Virtually my entire career has been a cautionary tale of survival and persistence. A snarky sense of humor gets developed quickly.  |

I can't get past the concept of " Youtuber" potentially referencing people that identify as a potato.*
* Sadly, I've been doing this oddball stuff since well before I had kids. I was cracking dad jokes before that was even a thing.**
** Pity my wife. Poor woman didn't know what she was getting into when she foolishly said, "yes." |

The new Titan bubble guns in War Robots look really stupid. I’m sorry, but it had to be said. Its like the devs took the Snork swimming animation and added Airsoft firing sounds to it.  They might as well have just given them the Jetson car sounds. That’s all I have going through my head when I watch them shoot, anyway.  Hell, farting in a bathtub would be better than this. Oops. Gotta run. Here comes a P2W Champ deathsquad.  |

I was drinking wine while looking for a new job and I got snacky. Nothing was readily available or sounded good except.....
Yeah. I'm drinking Malbec and eating oatmeal. It's an odd life I lead.
Truly strange.

I know I hop in games and occasionally see names of players that I recognize. Some I see a lot. I have these thoughts of, “tanker,” “oooh this will be tough,” or “glad he’s on my side for a change.”
If I recognize them, odds are decent that I look at least somewhat familiar to one or two.
I wonder what they think about me?
I‘d be shocked if there weren’t at least a smattering of “I wonder what brand of 「fluffernutter」nuttery that fool is running this time?”

While on a virtual one-on-one meeting with a lady coworker a moment ago, she mistakenly asked me, "can you get it up?" when trying to see if I could load a web utility. Thankfully, the pregnant pause from my end made her realize what she just said and since she has a good sense of humor and we've known each other for years we both got a good laugh out of that.
I'd hate to think what 25 years-younger me would have said. I had just about no brain/mouth filter at that age.

I wonder what it is about Fall-like weather that makes me want a cigar. It’s currently just a shade over 60F, not too humid, and with a very slight breeze.
I’m sitting in one of my Adirondack chairs (made it 12 years ago and it’s still holding up!) with a beer and a dried out stogie enjoying myself.
Maybe it reminds me of all the camping I used to do. Maybe it reminds me of fire pits with friends before parenthood sapped my energy and freedom. Maybe the cigar is the final piece to get really good relaxation in weather that comforts me. Maybe it’s some or none of that.
All I know is when I feel this sort of weather, I want nothing more than this.
Well.....sex is good, too.
Oh Wifey! C’mere!

A thought I’ve had off and on for about 10 years: If you did a really good job soaping your butt in the shower then farted, would it blow a bubble?
You wouldn’t believe the trouble I got in with my wife the first time that thought got into my head.

Something about the back end of my Freedom Skyros looked familiar. I studied it and mulled over what that might be.  Finally it occurred to me what it reminded me of: the open-to-the air rear of a VW Bug dune buggy.  I wondered if the regular Skyros was similar and it doesn’t appear to have those various widgets protruding. Its ironic that a mech decked out in the Stars and Stripes resembles a German car that received significant input from possibly the most known sociopath in history. |

Fun fact: My wife hates me. She’s very angry, in fact. Plotting murderation of my person.
I don’t know the means and method which my demise is forthcoming, however, apparently the decision is absolute.
Amazing how resentful she can be when she decides to go in the garage attic and finds “a snakeskin as long as [her] arm.” I wonder how it got in?

There's an image people get when they think NASA. Likely it's brought about from the good old days of the Apollo program, movies, and launches. While there are some cool aspects of working for NASA, there are also a lot of less than exciting aspects to it including:
* Overlong meetings discussing minutiae such as the meeting I'm in now discussing contamination avoidance for bringing 3d printed parts into our cleanrooms * Warning people not to have vehicular and household keys loosely in their pockets when they use the restroom as they can (and have) fall in the commode then get auto-flushed
* Telling people to stop parking in someone else's reserved parking space * "What's that smell? ooh, that smell. Can you smell that smell? No, it's not something burning. 0-VOC is a misnomer and that material is actually offgassing." * "I'm sorry your project can't use that high bay crane. ______ project has a higher priority than you. No, I know it's not fair. I don't disagree with you. I don't make the rules. Yes, it's unreasonable. Go talk to _____."
* "Damn. That's a big hole in the soffit. Wouldn't it be nice if we could replace that roof? Go get a couple tarps."
* Warning people not to drink the water without actually telling them it's unsafe to do so because Center management would get pissed so I needed to imply the hazards. They can't discipline me for what they can't prove I did!
And then some.

Had a really odd non sequitur get posted as a comment to one of my YouTube videos. I could have come up with any of a few smart assed comments in response, but considering this supposedly came from a kid.......
In the absence of anything relevant, the most appropriate response is none at all. It’s not fun, but it’s the best.
The internet is a weird, weird place.
