@grumpysociologist.bsky.social Any additional information which may assist in your treatment? I remember being born. It was so traumatic, I didn’t speak for a year.
Words with Friends notified me I was third in the standings. Never been one to be impressed with myself for such things, but “third place in the standings!” Turns out I was third place, behind my wife and stepson. Another reason to be less impressed with myself.
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social Since the advent of internet erotica, the incidence of Americans correctly spelling Amateur has risen significantly. Perhaps it can be used to entice other levels of education. Sorta like Pornhouse Rock.
@ohhowbyronic.bsky.social I suppose the most classically decadent thing I’ve done is a post-coital cigarette. Didn’t start until my thirties when I had a girlfriend who would have two martinis and smoke. And I mean “really smoke.” I’d have to usher her into the car while I still had clothes on.
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social Mgmt sent me a letter of deferment for my jury summons. I informed them persons over 70 are exempt; even if I do look like I’m barely 60. Subsequent msg: I may look younger than my age but my ability to navigate this infernal contraption pegs me at 87.
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social Attended a CE class. The instructor was one of those quick-witted unique characters. Surprised by my stated age, she’d pegged me a dozen or so younger. I guess the goal is to look good for your age, I offered. “I didn’t say you looked good, just younger.”
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social Barron is set to star in a satirical comedy My Mother The Who’re We Talking About? Due to language difficulties, Melania will be voice by an AI Ann Southern.
Leslie Nielsen played Revolutionary War figure Francis Marion. A guy with a girls name played by a guy with a girls name. A deep state “coincidence?”
@olbermann.bsky.social The progressive wing, if there is such a thing, should schedule weekly pressers an hour before the Sunday shows.
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social Chatting with my niece about her first week in high school. “How many periods do you have a day?” Six. “Boy those quarters must really mount-up!” Emotionally I’m still in grade school.
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social Dis-moi d’arreter. You seem confident of finding yourself on the other side. Are these episodes roughly similar or have you noticed a marked change in some aspect? Voilà; j’ai terminé. We could talk about you playing some form of guitar…je m’en vais.
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social My french wife’s progressive french friend is married to an educated Trump voter. He once remarked it seems I use critical thinking because I’m not afraid of being in error. He now supports UHC. Three dinners since the election; no mention of Donald.
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social I briefly managed a self-serve gas station one Summer. Looking at apps for the night-shift, under Arrests in the space for Disposition, one guy wrote Good. I hired him. A bullet point for a hauling service: We come to you! I’m calling them first.
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social Donald could join Adams and Jefferson in historical significance. There are too many holidays as it is, anyway.
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social Decompress a seltzer bottle slowly. We don’t want gases escaping in the bottle. Save that for your mouth or hold a few mouthfuls in your stomach. There’s nothing more satisfying than a long loud burp in the eternal Now. Gee thanks, grandpa.
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social My step-son is mix-handed dexterous. He writes and throws left-handed; bats, golfs, plays guitar right- and a variety of others, some of which are ambidextrous. So I had to ask the question. —- Curiously, he can’t close just one eye. Blinking, no winking.
Sadly, every word is true. The American experiment is over. Killed in the middle of Fifth Avenue and no one in power blinked an eye to stop it.
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social I’m filling out a form about a defective tire inflator, indicating two blown tubes. In the comment section I remarked that I’ve never blown a tube before. Now I’m pondering adding, “With the possible exception of Fee Waybill…but I was young and it was dark.”
Is there a physiologist or physicist who can explain that phenomenon? I don’t think I was imagining it.
@jtrott.bsky.social · 7mo ago@grumpysociologist.bsky.social Trippin back. In the 80s lived in the redwoods. My hips/legs prefer steep steady climbs. Picked up a fallen stick like a recurve bow. When compressing and holding it, I perceived an assist to my forward motion; repeatedly. Never followed up on it after a month.
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social It’s good to visit with old friends. Alone in the kitchen with a woman I hadn’t seen in years, I told her “I think about you every day.” One time I asked her to retrieve my bag. It was unzipped, contents spilling out. Indeed, when I zip my bag, I still think of her.
Today is the birthday of Deanne Patterson. Daughter of Darwin and Barbara, sister of Teri.

Oligarchic Fascism. Fascists always have Clergy somewhere in attendance. It isn’t Left vs Maga or Religious vs Secular; it’s the Filthy Rich vs Ordinary People. Ordinary Hungarians just chewed them raw. It’s time to eat the Filthy Rich and their Christian White Nationalist collaborators.
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social Rather than go screw yourself, I’ll say Bone Me! Why should he have all the fun?
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social Went to an appointment this morning with a urologist to discuss an onset of premature ejaculation. Turns out it was tomorrow.
@grumpysociologist.bsky.social I told Jesus my favorite band is Nine Inch Nails. He got very cross.
Today March 29 is the birthday of Debby Haynes. Smart, tough, resembles Natalie Wood only more so.
@paulogia.bsky.social Response to a rather strident pastor: “You strike me as one of those who feels cheated by the notion of not being able to view the suffering in Hell. “Jesus hates that. Maybe you’ll see the suffering after all.”
@paulogia.bsky.social Presuppositionalism is evidence of insufficiency of the Bible. Quick Bible study: Is there anything in the significant passages which could not have been wholly invented by ancient humans?
