Totally blitzed by a fart.
Google it.
Since it was snowing last night I missed the eclipse.
Oh, and i didn’t give a rats ass.
At some point last night, a line drawn through my asshole and the top of the purple martin house in the backyard pointed directly at the North Star, but people didn’t stand outside in the cold to see this rare and beautiful occurrence.
yeah, yeah, I know. I still have an 8″ scope, and I spent a lot of time looking up, but it’s just a damned coincidence, and as I said, it was snowing here.
It was sleeping, here.
Yeah, the wife was thinking about calling in snuggly. “Hi, I won’t be in today, I’m all suggled up in bed, and I don’t think it will be good for me to get up”
Me, I like to call in stupid. “Hi, I’m stupid. If I get any smarter later, I might come in, but then if I’m smarter….”
Meh. A) I was asleep; B) it was overcast and snowing, anyway. Let me know when a third of the waters turn to blood; I might be interested then.
If you could see it, it was interesting. When I was ten there was an eclipse of the sun – now that was creepy-cool darkness at noon like. More recently saw the rings of Saturn back in ’03 when it was close and well-turned to see ’em, but just with the spotting scope. I’m not much of an astro-buff.
When I’m only mildly annoyed, I’ll “call in bored”. That amuses ’em.
But when I’ve really had enough, I “call in dead”, and demand to be paid my berevement time.
That there gets ’em very highly agitated.
