Dr. Ruth Westheimer - American sex therapist, media personality, and author.

Next month, she reaches ~ the lucky 88 club ~.   (It is rumored she owns a jar full of unopened Blue Kobold® prophylactics that are sixty-years-old.  Some kind of good luck talisman voodoo containment system.)

Born: June 4, 1928 (age 87)

Holy Toledo...

She's still truckin' at 91.

I have to disappear for a few. Feds traced me.

Except for a few that I like. Like Pate.  This site is trash. It's just full of terrorists,  hackers and bitches. I don't even come here anymore, but I just wanted to come around and let you know who they are.  But I'm sure you know.  Shame on U MV. You have disgraced Art Bell and Heather wade. ALL THE TROLLS ARE BORN HERE.

HEATHER WADE OWNS U.

ALL THE TROLLS ARE BORN HERE

ART BELL RAN, SO, HELL ROT HERE.

I came across this: http://starringthecomputer.com and thought it was interesting. Too bad no IBM Selectric section though.

That's what I call a good old fashioned fun web page with interesting data to browse. I like the fact that fictional computers are disqualified.

Narrows things down.

So you clever Trekkies can put that "Spock's Brain" meat-machine episode right back into your pocket.

Greatly enjoyed the Steller Stellar Gabcast, Libby.  Steller Stellar sounded like one level-headed mofo, which provided a delicious cognitive dissonance as I compared his carefully chosen words to his ofttimes haphazard posts...

I keep wanting to type "Steller." I think I must have a muscle-memory virus.

So glad to hear Liberace has no plans to whore himself out on youtube... which, as he pointed out in his excellent meltdown, is no longer about "you." 

( it's more like the "fuck you" tube )

(( of course, I still use it. I have to view Susan Hart's hoarded MST3K episodes somewhere ))

((( Oh, and LiberTarianAce, I sent some For Your Eyes Only info under separate gee mail cover. )))

You’re all out of brownies and apple pie and all the sandwiches are stale. It smells funny in here too. What kind of automat is this?!

Nothing has been right since someone stole the giant silver bat-shaped coffee urn we had at the front.... goddamn it.

I still get goosebumps when she hits the "cobwebs" lyric.  I am a foolish sentimental bastard.

The weather right now:

Heh heh

interesting driver, that Mannix.

Speaking of loco motion. 

Let's cut to the chase and combine smart car self driving tech with auto racing and eliminate the human pilots altogether thus truly demonstrating what a non-sport auto racing really is.

Might as well be racing clocked computer processor speeds.  Sexy.

I would rather bet on a bowling game while having the bowling alley's fries and watered down soda served in new old stock 1979 paper cups featuring orange paisley art work.

A letter from Ambrose Bierce to his niece Lora:


Dear Lora,

I go away tomorrow for a long time, so this is only to say good-bye. I think there is nothing else worth saying; therefore you will naturally expect a long letter. What an intolerable world this would be if we said nothing but what is worth saying! And did nothing foolishâ€"like going into Mexico and South America.

I'm hoping that you will go to the mine soon. You must hunger and thirst for the mountainsâ€"Carlt likewise. So do I. Civilization be dinged!â€"it is the mountains and the desert for me.

Good-byeâ€"if you hear of my being stood up against a Mexican stone wall and shot to rags please know that I think that a pretty good way to depart this life. It beats old age, disease, or falling down the cellar stairs. To be a Gringo in Mexicoâ€"ah, that is euthanasia!

With love to Carlt, affectionately yours,

Ambrose.

THE INSTITUTE by Stephen King

Point the 1st:

A few years ago, a Black Witch moth (Ascalapha Odorata) flew off a wall and struck me in the chest and flew away. I felt "marked." A stunning omen, given I authored an essay on the little "money bats" back in the day. I can count on my one-toed left foot how many moths have collided with my mossy heart chakra.


Point the 2nd:

Elsewhere on this site, in a different lifetime, I wrote about hatching Sphinx moths for the purpose of invading local gardeners' tomato plants with glorious Sphinx moth eggs/tomato worms.

Some call it Chaotic Evil. I call it nature.

Often, science supply houses instruct young entomologists to destroy the moth after hatching, as it is considered a "pest."

Repugnant.

Fuck that weak shit. I mean REALLY. Fuck that.

It just encourages me to hatch a legion.

Say whut?  Cam, I'm sure, in her day, Mrs. Petrie had no problem getting Johnny Staccato to stutter.

Heh

Have you kicked the Q-tip habit yet?

Keep on keeping it weird!

Good to see you here again. Post often!

Thanks, man.  Always fun to glide through in near Silent Running mode and see what's up.

There’s one for sale at a thrift store near me.

A true "wild" sighting.  It has been several years since I saw one in a resale shop.

And what color was that bad boy, Juan?

I recently had a near miss.  A local friend notified me of one at an estate sale.  Instead of buying it for me instantly, she waited and told me several hours later. Needless to say, it was sold before I could get to it.

It was BLACK.

I already had a 3D chrome skull (w/ separate crossbones) sticker/badge picked out to put on it.

I was going to christen that son of a bitch "Jolly Roger."

The manual I have now is ridiculously old.  I use it for short notes, not writing.  A portable Underwood, found in a neighbor's* trash, in a wooden case.  I've used it for some secret missives to MV, who is a known "digester" of obscure and real font striking.

*Said neighbor was suspected by another neighbor of being a government spy, but I found no secret compartments on the Underwood.

TRUE DETECTIVE Season 3 Episode 3

Selectric II

Color: Green

location: in police station

bonus: Finally. An extreme close-up of the typeball in action.  You would think most directors would capture this crucial ~element~ as standard protocol.

Catching an old Dick Van Dyke episode, I suddenly realized I much prefer Buddy Sorrell's wife over Rob Petrie's.

Her character's nickname was "Pickles."  Too much to process as a young caterpillar so long ago.

But now that I have become a full blown Black Witch moth, I easily process the value of Pickles over Laura and her stuck toe in the bathtub faucet.

We never stop growing.

Until we croak.

When you have turkeys with smoking habits, maybe you're just doing them a favor. 

The voices of the avian skeletons in the crawlspace haunt me.

White Selectric II in police station

Finally. Something not beige.

TV show: Young Sheldon: A Broom Closet and Satan's Monopoly Board (2019)

beige Selectric II in Sheldon's mother's office

In movie, CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? (2018)

A beige Selectric II in Jane Curtin's office.

I am a serial killer of turkeys.

This year will be no exception.

It's not me. It's a disease.
