Three of the four states I've called home.

No wonder I'm a mess.
The fourth being California. And everyone knows we're loopy!

My fourth is Washington state.

Let's not forget I was born in Illinois.

And I also lived in Georgia.

GA definitely goes right along with Florida and Texas. Surprised no one has mentioned Alabama but to be fair it's like its own level of trash.

Nobody wants to mention that state for fear that it might notice.

And Tennessee. It's basically just Georgia-lite. The east half, anyway.


Yes can't forget TN.

I thought the reason there was so many drunk people in Tennessee was to forget they're in Tennessee.

Damn, you can't even do alcoholism right.


But really is their a right way to do alcoholism?

I've only been to Tennessee once, to visit my uncle before he moved back to Oregon. The scenery was pretty. (The part we drove through, anyway.)

But if my uncle likes a place and feels right at home there, well, that ought to be a warning sign.


We were on the border near TN and WV in Ohio. It was wonderful. But then, Athens was an oasis in the desert, as it were.

You should all just live in Brooklyn. Its quiet here.

Yeah it's a beautiful state, ecologically speaking. Culturally though....

Find me a good job with benefits and affordable housing and it's a deal. I'll be your first reverse retiree from Florida.

The only thing I know about Tennessee is that Davy Crockett was born in a bungalow in it.

And shortly thereafter he murdered Jonathan Taylor-Thomas's film career.. or was it the other way around?


Well, Tennessee is known by and large for two things: Nashville, the country music capital, and Memphis, the birthplace of rock and roll. I've been to Nashville twice to see Iron Maiden and when I was in college went to Memphis fairly often with friends. I never got the appeal of living in Memphis, though. Everywhere you went it looked like some post-apocalyptic landscape.

Both of those are on the west half of the state, which is far less insane. The east half - Chattanooga, Cleveland, Knoxville, etc. areas - is basically Georgia in everything but name.

Yes although it was technically North Carolina at the time. the land is now green county TN.

I had this dream maybe 25 years ago, but it was so vivid (and puzzling) that it stuck with me.

The setting is a future Los Angeles CA, late at night. It must have rained recently, because there are puddles in the street.

Jorge, an American of Mexican descent, has just stolen a motorcycle by reprogramming its AI so that it thinks it is his motorcycle. But (and this was important) Jorge is a good guy. Neither morally ambivalent nor a villain, Jorge is a straight up good guy. Why did he steal a motorcycle? I have no idea.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Maybe the bike belonged to a bad guy and had some important secret or life saving data on its hard drive that Jorge needed to get somewhere it could do some good, while the bike's owner was just gonna use it in some get rich quick scheme or plot to kill off a bunch of people for corporate or financial gain a la RoboCop.

Since "We Didn't Start the Fire" memes have been somewhat in vogue of late, the lyrics have once again embedded themselves in my skull, prompting me to ask something that has bothered me for over thirty years:

Who the frack were the "Space Monkey Mafia"?
Was it some secret cabal at Cape Canaveral?
Were they involved in the Cuban revolution later that same year?

I have sooooo many questions.

Do you really want an answer? Because it's very anticlimactic.

I love the fact that they're now a band... because they HAD to be!

Scarab Sages

I mean, it's Neil Cicierega. The man is playful insanity personified.


It's a band?!?

Please tell me they're good. It would be wrong to have a name that cool and suck.

EDIT: They're a Ska band with a decent horn section. I like.

Someone once told me he had had a coworker nicknamed Link.

"Short for 'Lincoln'?"

"No. 'Missing'."

If only it were Lancelot.

Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp was a spy sitcom with an all-chimpanzee cast. It was on Nick-at-Night for a while in the eighties.

Get That Monkey has a pilot, but hasn't been picked up by a network yet. Fortunately, I have a megabucks multiseason deal at Quibi in the works.

When I was a kid, I had a cat who loved to play "fetch". Now I have a dog - a retriever, no less! - who doesn't. Go figure.

Should I ever win a lottery and become ludicrously wealthy, I'm going to illegally purchase a Galapagos tortoise hatchling and put in my will a condition stating my descendants must provide the absolute best of care for its entire natural life and should the turtle die a necropsy must be performed by a qualified herpetological veterinarian. Should this determine the tortoise died of neglect or any other cause that could have been prevented the remainder of the inheritance will be stripped from my future relatives and used to build a life-sized animatronic kaiju-themed amusement park that they cannot visit. Ever.
