Too stressed. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
Once everything gets shipped, which I hope to do tomorrow, then life will become less stressful. I'll presently present my presents to the post office. That will only be after I have left the office, though. So, I'll go post office to the post office to post some offerings.
That's all I've got.
I would have thought presents would be easy for you. Fish for everyone!

People complain.
People are strange.
Some people carp. If they net gifted fish.
They didnt like my pike, they said my bass was crass, and they said my tench had a certain stench.
Well, if you will insist on doing your Xmas shopping in September it's not surprising the gifts are less than welcome by December.Quote:

Fish jerky should be considered a cherished treat.
I've never cared for a strong fishy flavor. Perch was my favorite as it was the cleanest tasting finny treat. Each to their own.
Salmon, over rice, with a bit of wasabi and soy sauce.
Ugh. Here. You can have my portion of salmon.
Well, mine was a raw comment, sushi as it was.
Though I should also note that this might be the first time in history that a raccoon passed up food of any sort.
I ran over a raccoon this past weekend :(
Then again, I don't brake for animals.
Sounds like the animals might break for you, though.
Reminds me of two stories, and since this is post race, I'll tell them both:
A buddy from college told me about dozing in the passenger seat of a car while a friend of his was driving one day at highway speeds. Suddenly, the car started shaking all over the place. My buddy was jolted awake by this, and by the driver yelling, "GOT HIM!!" When my buddy looked out the window, he was out in a field, where the driver had gone to take out a woodchuck with the car.
In grad school, I was riding with a friend of mine sometime after dark. We struck a small, dark, animal and weren't sure what it was, so we backed up to get the headlights on it. It proved to be a mink, which is a very unusual animal to hit with a car. My friend walked over to it and stood, bent over, looking at it. At that point, the mink, which proved to be only stunned, raised its head and sniffed my friends foot. My friend was well aware how well armed and dangerous a mink could be, so he pretty much levitated straight up. That was a marvelous feat of feet, to be sure, and I was thoroughly entertained. The mink was not so entertained, and promptly continued its journey off to the swamp, no doubt in search of some willow to chew on for its headache.
Both of those stories are certainly unique, although I have gone off road once or twice(or exactly 3 times...) in my friend's truck with a shotgun when we've spotted a rabbit.
Shhh. Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits!Quote:

Waccoons are wioting in the stweets.
Waccoons in Waco too?
Just more FUD.
No doubt about it. Waging Waccoons!
Raging raccoons wager wealth.
I'm tired of this subject. I can't rhyme raccons with you loons.
I was just caroled. It's snowing like the dickens out there, which is a rare thing down here in the desert. Three young neighbor girls knocked on my door. When I opened it, they sang "We Wish you a Merry Christmas". It was pretty nice of them.
My wife does caroling nearly every Christmas, mostly to older widowed ladies but if there are a lot of people that they intend to carol to on a particular street or neighborhood then they'll go to each house.
It's amazing how a little selflessness such as caroling to people can really brighten somebody's day/season.
Yeah, I'd have to say that it was pretty nice of them. On the other hand, people would probably pay good money for me to NOT sing. I carry a tune like it was a dead skunk.
Hurray! Congrats Shaggy and welcome to the club.
I tried to bake a cake for my tenants birthday. It did not go well.
What could've happened?

Wow, there is a seriously unacceptable moment at 56 secs. You couldn't make that now.

We need some random topic to argue about. I don't have any suggestions, though.
Reagan was the best president we have had in the past 50 years!
"It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first."
He was definitely more quotable than your last couple of incumbents.
Yes, Me too. Grandma's TV somehow got reception from the 1930's.Quote:

Who's on first!
Who's on first?
Oh! In the 1950's we used to call that day care.Quote:

We'd get together to watch Bugs Bunny in grad school. Now that I think about it, that might be the same period that DDay remembers from his youth.
My parents built their house when I was in Kindergarten up until 1st grade.
I remember watching looney toons too on those Saturday mornings.
My favorite was Bugs and Elmer
I was talking about black and white shows that pre-date that stuff by several decades.
I remember Gilligan's Island in color. I'm not entirely sure that was possible. That show didn't run for all that long, and went off the air before I was born. Was it shot in black and white and colorized?
I suppose the follow up question would be: Why would I ask THAT here?
