Wearing a mask with your nose sticking out is like wearing a condom on your testicles.
When out walking, look out for PROBlems. You know: maskless Plague Rats On Bicycles who blow past you without giving you time to get out of the way.
Ah, CONServatives, the Masters of Projection (MOPs). With CONServatives, every accusation is a confession. Weird, that.
............Oh, what fresh hell is this?

This obsession that many conservatives have with sameness....
Reminds me of that old movie, Five Million Years to Earth, where the psychic vibrations from the ancient, crashed Martian spaceship in the pit causes madness throughout London, and everyone begins acting out the ancient Purging of the Hives ceremony, where any genetic difference among the Martians was annihilated every so many years.
Great B movie.
When did conservatives decide to emulate ants?
Yes, I'm an atheist. So?

I think it was the late Robert B. Parker who said, "There are only two genres of writing: good writing and bad writing."
Every once in a while, I try reading a so-called modern "mainstream" novel, maybe something that has received great critical praise as something groundbreaking and original, and I almost invariably find it boring and pointless. I heard great things about Don DeLillo, for instance, so I read 'The Falling Man' - eh. I've tried reading Jonathan Franzen and I wish I could enjoy him, but I just don't. Some of the best writers alive today, including Joe Lansdale - buy and read 'Paradise Sky' today! - are working in "genre" fiction.

The first science fiction novel I ever read, at age nine or ten, is still one of my favorites - 'The Survivors' (aka 'Space Prison') by Tom Godwin. Godwin only published three novels and twenty-seven short stories in his lifetime, but one of the latter is one of the most famous short stories in science fiction history - 'The Cold Equations'. Kelly Freas' cover illustration for the October 1953 issue of Astounding, featuring Godwin's first published story - both painting and story named 'The Gulf Between' - is one of the most well-known sci-fi illustrations of all time. (Freas' re-working of it for the cover of Queen's 'New of the World' album helped.)
