There is nothing like waking up at 3:30am to use the toilet and getting up to discover a murder scene in the toilet. FFS. A month or so before I'd done some "man grooming" and I didn't know that I'd nicked something until the next day. MF. Nothing like using the toilet at work and finding a murder scene in the bowl and then noticing the drops of crimson life falling on the floor. Some quick thinking(aka the wet toilet paper trick) got the bleeding stopped. I asked for a bandage and the Band-Aid boxes were a little dusty. I managed to find a few clean enough to stop the bleeding until I got home. After applying Steri-Strips and taking a shower(and the strips falling off) I found a water proof bandage, put it on and it stopped the bleeding. I took it off the next day and didn't experience any bleeding until last Saturday morning. I made a beeline to the ER armed with my new insurance cards from work. I got in after an hour wait and almost immediately the doctor came in and had me remove the bandage(his words "I find it's less painful if the patient removes the bandage") and he looks at the area and says I probably nicked a vein( I guess that would explain the blood flow after a month delay) and he applies DermaBond to the area. I only notice this after I feel a warm stinging sensation. He says the sting is normal and applies a bandage over it and that it would fall off after a few days. He didn't specify whether he meant the bandage or the DermaBond. So I spent damn near a week with the same bandage on. Changing it after a shower I finally noticed the area that had been "Bonded". I applied a water-proof bandage and took it off at the end of the day. That's pretty much the last time I'll trim that area. Sorry if that came off as gross or TMI.

I don't know if I bore you guys with my shit or not(I hope not), but I've gone from cooking once a week to once every other week. This past Sunday I put six pieces of Polish sausage and two pieces of pork loin in the crock pot. Since that's all that would fit I put a package of Johnsonville "Irish Garlic" sausage in the oven at 325F for 90 minutes and a package of Hawaiian Chicken Sausage in the microwave for three minutes in a bowl of room temp water for three minutes(since the pollo sawseetch was fully cooked). After the Polish was done I put the pork loin in the oven(at 325F) and added Basmati rice to the leftover juice in the crockpot. I added a bottle of water to that and an hour later it was all done. The rice was among the best I've ever done. The juice from the Polish and the pork loin were absorbed like there was no tomorrow. Finishing the pork loin in the oven gave it a bit of a crispy edge, while still being moist in the middle.

Would it have worked as a satire if titled "My Three Witch Hunts"?

Could Lone Wolf McQuade and Extreme Prejudice be considered Westerns?

I've been enjoying The Bondsman(six episodes in). I watched the first episode of MobLand...I hope it picks up. Great cast though. Dying for Sex is hilarious.

Yeah The Champ messed me up as a kid, to the point that my dad and grandpa asked me why I was crying. You have to love those old HBO/Showtime free preview weekends.

Bang The Drum Slowly said "'sup?"

Fifty-five years ago today the ultimate April Fools Day prank was played when I was sprung forth upon this world.

I watched O'Dessa. The story was mid, but the music made it worth the watch.

We got our Clark forklift back on Wednesday and it went back on Thursday(because of a leaky seal on the hydraulic cylinder) and we got blessed with a modern Toyota lift(while our legitimate antique Clark gets "fixed"). This was one of those weeks. It started on Monday when the lift chain on one of our two good shred trucks broke(and the spare shred truck wouldn't stay running). Today(Friday) I rode with another driver to pickup the fixed shred truck after getting soaked in the rain at a customer in Benton Harbor, MI. I was at least smart enough to bring a rain coat. Driving the fixed shred truck back to South Bend I had to stop because the "Shred Cabinet" had come loose and was sticking out of the side of the truck. Oops. I stopped and on the fly remembered how to fire up the shredder so I could get the cabinet secured back into the truck. Once secured I resumed the drive back to the home warehouse and once I arrived I was told I needed to head back to the company's warehouse in Benton Harbor(which is literally down the street from where I picked up the shred truck). So I jumped into the oldest truck we have(legally able to vote and drink) and headed back whence to where I had come. Once there I got to learn how they scan and store boxes of files. The easy part was learning how to scan boxes. The hard part was stacking them three high, scanning them and then pushing them back to the rear of the rack. I did that with some bit of success. The one positive is that I got the best arm workout I've had in the past thirty-five years. After lunch the supervisor who has been splitting her time between Benton Harbor and South Bend showed up in BH and told me I'd be solo on Monday and Tuesday. Both days are routes are complete unknowns to me(other than telling me I'm going to a prison on Monday). That should be interesting. I don't have any tattoos, but I have a resting Rich face that tends to irk people. Lucky me. Heh.

And when he was on Real People he was late teens/early twenties(compared to Skip Stephenson, Sarah Purcell, Fred Willard, Mark Russell, he was a legitimate child).

I won't even go there. At least we agreed that Donnie Darko was good.

I've been dealing with this issue for the past few years. I've learned to change the page # manually in the url and away we go. Using Chrome on Win 11(if that makes a difference).

Was it Comics Unleashed? If so, it was hosted by Byron Allen and ran for ten fucking years. I only know him from Real People, but since then he's apparently morphed into a media mogul.

Had a conversation about Boondock Saints with a much younger coworker fifteen years ago. I told him it was ok, he said it was to his generation what "Pulp Fiction" was to mine. I didn't hate it, I put it on the same level as "Killing Zoe". Watching O'Dessa on Hulu. The story is mid, but the music is the best part.

The Residence on Netflix is great. Great cast and some witty dialogue.

If Mercer did White Sox broadcasts in '74 that means he shared a booth with Harry Caray.

Went to my local spot and saw a sixer of Yuengling Premium Beer(also Premium Light was on sale for $3.99/sixer).

We've got two stacks of Gaylords about ten high that get replenished every few weeks. What sucked this week is that we lost our fork lift due to it needing repairs. It was supposed to be back on Tuesday. LOLZ. Supposedly it will be back early next week. We knew it needed a hydraulic line replaced, but we were unprepared for it needing new kingpins for the steering. And since it's a Clark fork lift(Shout Out Buchanan, Michigan!), the parts were a bit harder to get ahold of.

At least they worked in "The Jawn" without overusing it.

Great show.

French Lick? That's closer to Bloomington.

The Wiki lists Frankfort High School as the arena interior for the movie. That's also the same high school that Buck Robley went to.

Northside Gym(Elkhart, IN) seats 7300, was a weekly WWA stop in the 60s and is connected to a middle school.
