It's Impus Major's last "free" day of summer vacation, it's 11:00 am, and he's still in bed. And "Good Dad" and "Bad Dad" are warring: Do I let him keep sleeping in, or do I bring a Ziploc bag full of ice down there and drop it on his naked torso?

EDIT: Drat! He woke up!

EDIT 2: And isn't it dad's JOB to wander around the house naked, scratching himself, on your final day of summer vacation? I think it is...

Aaaaaarg! What the heck, Walmart?! There are three good pass ways on the side I want, and one is one-way (into Walmart) the other just pops around into the one way... the one that feeds back into Walmart. So maybe I go out the front and turn left? No - it's a right turn only, and that leads me around to either going well out of my way (no u-turn signs abound) or taking a left in the first road of my convenience... which just so happens to be the road that is partially fused with the Walmart parking lot. What is this, Hotel CaliWalmart?

EDIT: "I go" not "Ingo"...

Er... I believe that all Walmarts are designed that way. That's why I've never gone into one. The Lawful never escape.

Well, it helps immensely that there isn't a Walmart within 20 minutes of my house. I think it's the high price of real estate around here, but there just aren't any close enough to be convenient... especially with a huge two-story Target sitting right here in Albany.

The Walmart by my house is in the former Montgomery Ward space in the mall, so not only is it impossible to navigate, but the lighting is permanently set at "zombie twilight" level of gloom.
Creepy as hell.

Had a Piggly Wiggly up in NC once that had similar. Didn't bother me at the time because I never watched zombie stuff. It did when I went back to visit a decade later... >.>

Also, I didn't mention at the time, but thanks for the song! XD

Hmm... My parents town got a piggly wiggly to replace their foodlands. I'm still not sure what to make of the chain...
Their quality is decent, but their name is stupid, and their prices are a bit high.
Also... I feel that any business with that name should have focused on pork. Like, totally focused on pork. Have it be their "thing".

Because I grew up around them, I never really noticed. Well, that and Windixie, I suppose.

Either way, I was vaguely incensed by this new place "Publix" we were forced to shop when it eventually opened up.

Of course, I was also stupid, so.

Alright! Wedding invitation successfully recreated!

Meet me
At the crossroads
Meet me
At the edge of town
Outskirts of the city
Just you and I
And the evening sky

Piggly Wiggly is a staple of small town Wisconsin, if it has less than 10,000 people it has a Piggly Wiggly. :-)


Yeah, that seemed true for me on the East Coast, too! XD

I spent all night running around getting tools and helping an old neighbor fix his car.

Which happened to comedian Dick Shawn (He was Hitler in the original "The Producers"). He had a heart attack onstage. Everyone thought it was part of the act.

Wow, the USPS is very efficient. According to the tracking, a package I ordered both arrived at and left the Salt Lake City distribution center at 3:57am yesterday morning, and then managed to simultaneously arrive at and leave the local distribution center at 11:41pm tonight.

Hmm, I seem to remember something important going on today.

Starfinder hasn't shipped yet, so it's not that.

I gotta work tonight, but that's not important.

Oh well, whatever it was it couldn't have been that important.

Why deliverypeople are beginning to HATE NobodysHome's house:

  • The aforementioned, "Ship every item separately" phenomenon
  • NobodysFatherInLaw has a "deliveries get stolen from his porch" problem, so he's refurnishing his house... by having all the furniture delivered here. Right next to me right now is a 2'x18"x3' box of somethingorother. We get a couple a week, and he shows up on weekends in his pickup to remove them for us
  • NobodysHome's approach to buying new items that may or may not be useful:
    (1) Order a folding ladder
    (2) Test it for sturdiness and functionality
    (3) Pleased with its performance, order a second

  • So yeah, we're getting a couple of 30-40 pound boxes delivered per week. I guess it's good exercise for the deliverypeople...

    How to make Skyrim Rampage Captain Yesterday cry:
    (1) Decide that Impus Minor's computer is a piece of junk and build a new one from scratch, using parts recommended by "Mr. Supermachine" Shiro
    (2) Let Impus Minor install Skyrim
    (3) Have Skyrim tell him, "Right now you're seeing the screen in the highest-possible resolution. Please wait while we calibrate to your computer. Resolution will go down."
    (4) Have Skyrim say, "Oops. Never mind. Just leaving things at Ultra-High, thanks."
    (5) Have Impus Minor report 90 fps during firefights.

    I gotta admit it, I seem to have built a solid machine.

    Ask yourself, Is this related somehow to all the other pages on Paizo?
    The answer, is of course, yes, and is, in fact, related to the belly-button lint some poor sap removed from his girlfriends belly-button, who lives two counties over from Pulg, last night.
    Why this specific thing you might ask?
    Why, because of the interconnectedness of all things.
    I discuss in detail in my new book "The Interconnectedness of All Things". Buy it today for only $14.99 or commercial equivalent.

    Pulg dreamt he was the belly-lint.

    Or perhaps the belly-lint dreamt that it was Pulg, and by flapping its wings, caused a tidal wave to engulf Switzerland.

    That would be the general point.
    I say spend the twenty bucks (hmm? Oh no, I said twenty before, who ever mentioned fifteen measly bucks?) and get yourself truly enlightened with my new book.
    Or for a mere fifty dollars a day, you could have me investigate your next existential crisis. Ten for retainer-ship, payable in a lump sum at the end of the month.

    Grrr! Last night the topic of addiction came up during dinner, and my mother-in-law demanded that Homunculus #1 promise to never ever try illegal drugs. And I worry about Homunculus #1, 'cause he has what I think is an addiction-prone personality.

    The best way to get someone to do something, particularly a child, is to tell them never to do it.

    The best way to get some-one to not do something is to describe to them, what exactly it does to the body, and of course do so honestly.

    At least, that's what I've discovered in my relatively short lifespan.
