No wonder I'm a mess.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.

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

Damn, you can't even do alcoholism right.
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.

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.

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’m sure I don’t know.
I’m just a simple businessmonkey with several import/export concerns.

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.

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.
