My mind is aglow
with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention.
Wait, maybe it’s just the chili.
On the other hand, why NOT be the first to invent Purina Geezer Chow? After this healthcare bullshit passes we’ll all be totally fucked anyway, so why not be prepared for it?
Meantime I’m succumbing to the bullshit I have been trying to avoid for a thousand years, and learning visual basic. I had hoped to arrive at 60 without having had to learn yet ANOTHER programming language, but such is not going to be my lot.

Og, it’s already been done, amigo.
They called it Solyent Green.
Seriously though, it’s not a bad idea. After all, my Crown Vic’s nic is “The Geezermobile”.
It probably gets better mileage than I do, though.

Don’t be too sure on that young Jedi-
Let’s see what tomorrow’s results bring; there may yet be hope (sans change).
If things go well, we may be able to kick Pelosi, Reid, 0bama & their ilk into the gutter where they belong…
My wife’s been feeding me Geezer Chow since my 60th birthday. You get used to it.

“…careening through a cosmic vapor of invention.”
Ditto!
Jim beat me to the Soylent Green comment, although I’m positive Ensure is just the liquid form of SG.
Recipes from their website:
• Turkey Chili With Corn Bread Topping
• Chicken Tortilla Soup
• Cinnamon Scented Rice
• Cauliflower Soup
• Creamy Spinach
• Roasted Sweet Potato Smash
• Spinach Artichoke Dip
All made from Ensure….
Scary Stuff…

VB isn’t so bad.
Not as bad as VD, anyway.
You need Bachelor Chow! Makes its own gravy! Now with flavor!
Perks of being young and single: cooking for one isn’t a big deal if one is a good cook. :-P
Bachelor Chow? Where do you get that???
Sounds delish. It’d sure beat my cooking. ;)
It’s safe to say that I’ll arrive at 60 without having learned a single programming language because I don’t think GRASP counts.
Ensure is too fatty.
Solyent Green …. is sheeple!!
Geezer Chow sounds interesting (assuming it makes it’s own gravey by adding warm water).
As for me, I give you the following ode.
I think that I shall never taste
A potted product with more grace
Of pork filled goodness in a can
Hormel ingeniously called SPAM
And there are many way to try
But as for me I like it fried
So when your larder’s looking wane
Go out and get yourself some SPAM
I like corned beef hash better.
Deb is into the corned beef hash too. I don’t care for the canned version, but when she makes it fresh, YUM!!
Visual Basic? The graphic novel of a programming language. You have my pity.
After I taught myself Basic, I found it not only wouldn’t do what I wanted it to, but I couldn’t understand why. So I taught myself Assembly and it was all clear to me now.
Unlearning Basic was hard.
So, you’re just now learning VB after Bill’s boys have quit supporting it? You poor bastard.
