An appropriate listing of illegal self-defense measures does not exist, but if we were to attempt it alphabetically, I'd start with "arson".Imagine, if you will, a wonderful place where one gets to stare at spreadsheets while, in a 30 minute period, listening to Ace of Base (twice), Backstreet Boys, Vanilla Ice and Hanson - and getting paid.
'Such a paradise cannot exist!', I hear you explain, amazed and envious beyond reckoning, but, friends, I'm here to tell you that it can.

It used to be that if I got a magazine addressed to my address but someone else's name, I'd go around the block to houses with similar numbers and ask them whether there'd been a mistake.
These days I just assume it's a scam and throw the magazine in the recycling without even thinking about it.
Of course, this time it's Entertainment Weekly. Even if the guy's a real subscriber who somehow managed to mis-enter his address, I don't think he's missing much.

Particularly awful because the fact that he was in the closet meant that she completely misinterpreted the fantasy.
All she wanted to do was surprise him. She succeeded.
Poor guy.

It's kind of terrifying when you realize just how much alike you and your manager of 17 years are.
I've had a heck of a couple of days, so I was going to tell her that I was going to take off half an hour early today...
...except she's already left for the weekend. As has the rest of my department.
I think that gives me carte blanche to leave.

I live on a numbered street, and I regularly get mail from the same address on number-and-a-half street. Those neighbors would act so freaked out when I dropped off their misdelivered mail, but their tune quickly changed when I started dropping off their misdelivered packages.

We get 'numbered' some other street within a mile radius.
We've gotten bills, credit cards, tax assessments, legal paperwork, etc, et al for years.
When we can, we return in-person. When we can't, we leave it in the mailbox for pickup.
Not as bad as when the neighboring property was in retail limbo for a year and a half after the previous renters had bailed under cover of darkness and the mailbox was overflowing, the door to the front porch couldn't be opened because the post people kept putting the mail into the slot above the door and it kept stacking up.

Oh, that happens on occasion and I'll go drop off the mis-delivered mail and people around here are generally grateful (as long as you're not dumping junk mail on them).
But this is a subscription to MY address using a name I've never heard of (not a former resident). And using the dubious online white pages (I swear, I know the phone book is obsolete, but can't we have a non-scummy white pages?), there's no one of that name within 15 miles of my house. So it's not some minor typo like 1431 instead of 1437 or whatever.
Anyway, slightly mysterious, but not mysterious enough to bother with any more than that.

As an aside, I'm curious how many of you are familiar with that expression? "I'll give you three guesses, but the first two don't count." Growing up, my dad said it all the time, but I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone else ever say it. Maybe I have and I just don't remember, but I thought I'd see if any of you have heard it before.
I heard it before.
I'm not gonna ask how many of you know about the Birthday Frog, though. I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to that one.
Not that one, though.

In a hilarious twist they've been accidentally sending Tiny T-Rex Crookshanks' homework emails and they've been sending Crookshanks Tiny T-Rex's homework emails, but they've just been completing them without telling us.
Which I guess explains why they're both getting better grades though I'm not sure what it says about the school district.

Soooooo much I need to get done today, and all I want to do is lie on my couch and catch up on the episode of Falcon/Winter Soldier that I slept through last night.
Sigh.
Laundry beckons.
On the plus side, we're now playing our family classic Forgotten Realms game every Sunday afternoon, which is fairly awesome. We're going through one ooooold school module after another with the same characters. Right now we're doing Under Illefarn.
And I'm now far enough removed from finishing up my own last campaign that I actually feel almost ready to start reading up and preparing for my Starfinder/Ankh-Morpork Station game.
(The burnout was pretty bad after finishing Ruins of Azlant. I never even wrote the final chapter of my campaign journal. I feel like I have to before I start the new game, though, for closure.)

My kids.
WW had been asking for gyros, so I made homemade garlic flatbread, smoked eggplant for baba ghanoush, grated cucumber to mix tzatziki, and marinate and pan-seared lamb chops.
The children ate the bread. Only the bread. Because eating lamb made them sad, and now I'm a terrible person.
EDIT: BABA ghanoush, not ABBA ghanoush.
Curse you, autocorrect.

Now I want to hear ABBA cover Baba O'Riley.How about Bill O'Reilly covering ABBA as the pokemon Abra?
No.
To be honest, mentioning Bill O'Reilly in the same sentence as ABBA and Pokemon is an insult to ABBA, Pokemon, and humanity in general.

Today was especially delightful at work, since we had the toddlers' disco blasting 'The Wheels On The Bus' from below, and the gym gurglerators above us doing formation pogo dancing at the same time, which is not a good combo. Fighting back with a pair of big old speakers and, say, Diamanda Galas, or Sunn O))), is do-able, but might result in bother. I'm more worried about a bunch of pissed-off West Yorkshire mums than I am about the BJJ squelchers, tbh.

Aaand I just found out we've got our first Covid case of the school year in my classroom.
Good times.
At this point, we're just supposed to self-monitor and proceed with caution.

I find it interesting that Trigun isn't mentioned under Anime and Manga. Maybe they don't consider Vash the Stampede to be "underperforming", but rather, "avoiding performing", but whenever I think of someone staggeringly capable intentionally coming across as far less competent than they are, I think of Vash.
