On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Seemingly Gohmert has refused to wear a mask, so there's speculation he's passed it around.

We have agreed that all our kitties should be named for vampires, which is why we had Tzpesh and Ruthven, and now we have Vlad and Erzabet. But Mr. Loomy is pretty adamant that we will never name a cat Lestat, which I think is unreasonable.

Ha! As someone who own a cat named Murderbiscuit, I'm just going to emphatically state that you get what you deserve when you name your cat. Lestat the cat would be a drama queen pain in the ass.

Hi Pix.

Another pet naming thing ..

My brother went 3 days without a name. Partly because when one was picked out it was the same name as my dad's brother's girlfriend and my mom's sister's dog.

But mom prevailed. The girlfriend left and the dog died and the extended family only thinks about them when this story is told

And in UGH covid news .a part the person , who doesn't wear her mask right and has been to Dollywood, is going to her niece's 40th birthday party tonight at some restaurant and it will be indoors because it's been raining.

So now another co-worker who works closer with her is a extremely worried.

I'm just waiting for an outbreak to happen at our store. I'm surprised it hasn't already.

askye, my father claimed he went without a name for two years and his parents came up with one under pressure from the local ... sheriff, I think it was (he was the youngest of six, so there may be some rationale for it).
