Some more useless items that make the Web great.
McSweeney’s has been on fire lately, and this gem is no exception. I REGRET TO ANNOUNCE THAT I WILL NOT BE CANCELING MY PLANS WITH YOU TONIGHT
Some random flotsam and jetsam images that have been floating around my laptop. I had to see them, so now you do, too.
Made this for my kids.
First off is this gem my wife found. The 2023 Lost and Found Index. Some real gems in here. Among my favorites:
Definitely worth a skim…
These astonishing and slightly unsettling tattoos from Spanish artist, Adri Reigada (@adrireigada)
The best prom invitation ever. Ever.
A former coworker posted something today about the awkwardness of running into coworkers in public places. How, despite liking that person, you instantly lose the ability to form speech.
It reminded me how even passing coworkers in the hallway at work can be awkward and soul-destroying.
First Encounter: You smile, exchange pleasantries, and move on.
Second Encounter: The briefest of eye contact, the “I’m busy, pal” dismissive smile and a simian grunt that resembles the word, “Hey.”
Third Encounter: The upward head bob. No eye contact is made. The exchange is silent and understood.
Fourth Encounter: You pretend to be immersed in something very important on your phone. You are, in reality, staring at the app arrangement on your home screen.
Fifth Encounter: You have recombined your own DNA and are now an as of yet, undiscovered species, perhaps a cryptid.
Computer security is a subject that, with the sole exception of Mr. Robot, has never been portrayed realistically on movies or television.

I know. That term is politically incorrect. And I am not applying it to those with true mental illnesses. I’m talking about those times when eccentricity goes a wee bit over the top. And stays there.
You’ve doubtless met others who have decided to become eccentric, perhaps even the town eccentric, but it was clearly a conscious act on their part. Those people.
True eccentricity, I believe, is unconscious. The person may not know their actions are in fact, not in societal expectations. Those people are fantastic and bring color to life.
Back to being batshit crazy. There is a point where the self-made eccentric goes so far in trying to shock and get attention that they don’t see a way out and fall into some sort of never-ending spiral.
You look at these souls and think, “What sort of WalMart tornado hit him? That guy is wearing woman’s underwear and has nine mop buckets full of old Twinkies tied around his throat like some Puritan shaming ritual.”
I just want to know when does one reach the point of self-made eccentricity where they have no way out? This is them, and good luck getting a loan. Pro Tip: banks generally don’t accept Kazoo art as collateral.
As always, your comments are appreciated, and possibly suspect.
