Woke up in a panic yesterday morning mostly due to the coricidin I took last night to get some sleep- I have zero tolerance for most of that crap but I needed the sleep. As it was, stiffness and soreness exacerbated my paranoia, until I finally became so tired, I thought, fuckit, I’m going to die or I’m not, so I laid down to get some sleep. A grumbling ensued that sounded- literally- like two angry cats in a pillowcase. The pressure on my diaphragm that I had been sure was a sign of an impending grabber began to recede, and the growling and gurgling accelerated apace.

And I ripped off the longest fart in memory. I mean, it wasn’t a big boomer, my shit/fart detector circuits were on full alert,so I just let it sneak out, but it lasted what, for me, is a record: I rolled over and watched the clock, and I farted continuously for 3 minutes and 42 seconds.

And then I had to get up and leave the room.

Eventually, the evil dissipated, but whatever the combination of nastiness was that caused this, better out than in. Oy. Hope this morning goes better.

not to bitchslap the next person I hear whine about “Income inequality” At the lowest levels, work pays what the market can bear, and no government interference will change that. If someone needs an employee to do a job, and they can afford to pay $9 an hour, no law is going to make them able to pay $15 an hour.

At higher levels, work pays what you can negotiate. And if you negotiate a high salary for yourself, you’d better be able to produce results commensurate with your compensation, or else you’ll be on your ear in short order.

Income inequality is an artificial construct- it’s like saying there’s depth inequality in the ocean. Morons.

But I saw these at SHOT, and I got to say, they’re perfect for butterfingered fucks like me. It amounts to an otterbox for your digital camera, and boy, do I need one. For under thirty bucks, good insurance.
