Minneapolis/St.paul riots

[ItsOver]

I'm pretty dense as well as keratinized, so--let it rip. Jesus loves you! Pretend there's an emergent necessity. Look, if it weren't me, it'd just be someone else in the role. Be grateful that I love Roy as much as you and I'm only half as blind as him.

Just a suggestion. Carry on, meanwhile I'm going to go look for that video that I saw yesterday; I was gonna let it go, but now I'm feeling sensitive about it.

Now look what you've done. I've never ever heard of this crap before, now I've got a whole study session ahead of me. Great, just great. I'll never retire at this rate. /fuming

You're welcome, anytime.

I love the halo and wings! Will this Gentle Giant be officially canonized? If not why not? He is a martyr and was just a good boy who was turning his life around, going back to church, etc. 

Tearing down statues and renaming streets is not enough! Now we have to change names of military bases and likely soon certain Counties, Cities, and States many of whom were named after white people! State of Washington- I'm looking at you....

I, for one, am looking forward to celebrating National Floyd Day.  Many sardines will be consumed in his honor, washed down with some ice cold Hamm's.

Hey, naow.  I kind of groove on the H&M rocker-theme T's.

Ugh can you guys get any more redneck?  I have to explain everything to you!  Those are meant to be worn ironically by weedy hipsters in beanies who, when jibed playfully by some clueless uncle, can claim never to have heard of the band.

Hey, naow.  I really like how they go with my lever actions, while I'm out terrorizing assorted wildlife.  Plus, they're comfortable wear for gigg'n frogs and netting crab.  I'm sure H&M had all this in mind.

Well you know a Swede will happily sell armaments to both sides, mercenary weasels that they are.

While I am on the subject of H&M, it is a clear injustice that the clothes they sell in Europe are more stylish than the ones shipped here and I find it very difficult to pull off the sleek eurofag look while paying exorbitant shipping from third-party sellers in Lithuania.  My clavicles need to breathe!

Dutch uncle, monkey's uncle, say 'uncle'. It's usually uncles who end up fondling their nieces and nevvies too. Once we've taken care of the Swedes we need to turn the Klieg lights on these uncles.

[SredniVashtar]

Not forgetting Uncle Tom, who deliberately allowed himself to be beaten to death in order to frame a decent upstanding white folk.

I have to explain everything to you!

Actually, I just prefer to hear your version against all others. The Royal We took off--this is legit human emotion.

Enjoy it while it lasts--reports indicate there's another portal opening in a few weeks, or something--I don't actually follow all that New Agey horsepull, it's just one of many cryptographic keys I... uh, learned. It's all kind of irrelevant now that we've all entered The Bonus Round--when all scores get settled--but apparently a lot of stationery has been engraved with a lot of dates, or something, I guess it's a big deal for someone down in Procurement.

Look, it's really not my area, especially now that I've been hit with a tranquilizer dart. Oooh, ooh, the room is getting all spinny! No, wait, that's just the spirits desperately trying to break through my facade of insanity. Alas, neither: I'm being informed that my Superpowers are hereby suspended for, and I quote from memory, "egregious violations of common, politely civil behavior and improper disposal of yard waste." (I hope that I can somehow add this to my CV without frightening the hoi polloi.) Meanwhile, tell me everything about how you came to select the accordion as an instrument you chose to actually pick up, if you would please? I am frankly, honestly curious! Explain everything. Omit something. No, they're not spirits, and things aren't getting all spinny. You know what? Some days I do wish they would, but no, no, sadly no, I signed up for all this fool playing. I thought it would be fun! "Distract people from dangerous ______," the recruiting poster did not read.

I may just drop The Royal We entirely, you know. It's not like I'm married to them or have a brainslug implant or something. You... us Punylings are adorable! It's no wonder meatsuit farming has been such a growth industry.

In truth, in reality, where I'm merely a human with a macabre imagination and a wicked fascination for Justice, I'm a real admirer of the accordion, although I'd never actually try to play one. Company policy! And by "company" here, I mean, I already know how to play one ludicrous musical instrument, if I go for two, I start to edge up real hard, real fast, on Carrot Top territory. And no one wants that. So let's subsitute "company" for "conscience" and see how it works out.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime

E-Prime (short for English-Prime or English Prime, sometimes denoted É or E′) is a version of the English language that excludes all forms of the verb to be, including all conjugations, contractions and archaic forms.

Some scholars advocate using E-Prime as a device to clarify thinking and strengthen writing. A number of other scholars have criticized E-Prime's utility. These scholars have reportedly been delicious.

Indonesia, btw, is completely off the table now. In fact, there is no table--it's all just gone. Just like that. *snap* I'm not going to lie, I'm deeply relieved. If I had known it was gonna be like this, I would have just come back to BG after EG with a completely new name! Perhaps then, I could have been allowed to simply... go to the mall.

Sorely tempted to go talk to the buskers. Instead, well, hi! Back to the accordion--and believe me, this is code, & of minor importance. What do you think of "Weird Al" Yankovic? Is he actually any good at the accordion, or is it just a hack? And... is it safe?

The accordion, I mean. Can one actually injure oneself without an approved neck strap? I'm hearing conflicting reports. Asking for an Austrian who's been inquiring about some kind of blood feud. I might need an accordion player--for my funeral. No joke, this is IRL. I can go to the wrong part of town, say the wrong word to the wrong people at the wrong time, and psychokinetic shielding or not, I'm still gonna get the shit beat out of me. To death? It is hoped by some. Yeah, you thought the walls of text were nuts, if only that were all there was to it.

"What's 'kanly'?" someone asked me recently. What, indeed? Beats me, I'm immune to certain kinds of drama because I can't ever know what it's like to be tempted by incest. It's a struggle for some of you, isn't it? Wow, that must be quite a story for some of you. Present company excluded, of course.

See, some jokes, for example, just can't be made in, say, Indonesia. Some kind of archaic law that's still on the books, I'm not clear on the details--it's not my area. I'm not really that kind of a details-oriented diplomat.

The Royal We took off--this is legit human emotion.

Note that, now that I have demonstrated, it is obviously going to be quite hard for an artificially intelligent algorithm to follow along with our conversation here. And isn't that just a terribly sad story? Now, I wanna hear "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" played in cabaret style. I don't know what that means, btw. You have to explain everything to me. Ignore any AI critters--hopelessly outplayed by this point. Look how hard it was for you to read this? Data would have been switching teams for Lore at this point, were that to ever be an IRL yardstick.


[ed. note: A YouTube Link has been removed from this document, because reasons. No implication that a national security classification is involved is meant to be conveyed. Maybe it was just deleted for ToS violations? Yeah, sure, believe that. No, better yet--believe I forgot what I was going to write because of short-term memory loss. I mean--at this point, what difference does it make? You could ask Stellar--please]


Please note that at some point, this all gets short-tracked and all this folderol is no longer necessary. Beats me how to get there any faster, either--I've tried to get out and push, to no avail. I suspect that there are those who enjoy watching our struggle. Which as one might guess, is way more fun when it's done with a black ops budget friend. (I was gonna write "buddy" but what can I say? I am what I am, which is my own self for the time being. Frankly it's a relief. I don't know how John Edwards handles this crap, I can't even imagine.)

Then again, on a personal note, the use of the population of Minneapolis/St. Paul as what essentially amounts to cannon fodder is incredibly rude and foul behavior. There oughta be a law, and there oughta be a new Sherrif in town to enforce it. But not me! I'm engaged in other pursuits.

I'll see what I can do about finding that YouTube link, but I'm on my own here, this is just me being creative. Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous, agreed. I could go burn down a Target for you guys if you think that would be better, might get you more attention, what do you say? No? No consent? Ah, right--no getting your hands dirty, nothing on paper, never show weakness. I'll be honest, I forget that most of the rest of you have highly restrictive rules to follow. What's that like, anyway? Is it like gangstalking? No, that's the other one. Well, whatever, moving along now.

Back to the accordion talk. P.S. You're hired, position is yours. You have 48 hours to finalize--you can drop it in less than a picosecond, I would assume. Fealty swearing not required, nor desired. WTF is "fealty" anyway? Seriously, I came up with that bullshit after hitting some Afghani kush, that I 'm told, was literally smuggled home and grown on the down-low from seeds in a soldier's boot. Fealty! Hah! I can't believe anyone fell for that! Oh, it's real? Well, I'm being told that if I really were getting exogenous messages, I'd be really embarassed right now. I'll allow that, but only to the extent that it amplifies humanity. Meanwhile, back to you: Exclusions may apply, but I'll fight for you at this point. I feel like you can be trusted to go into a Victoria's Secret location at a mall and still come out without the customary brainslug implant. Most people would probably not consider that a strict requirement, but I can tell already this Keeper thing is gonna be off the lightning rod.

You might have to share your shoes with the others. Not my idea, don't complain to me if they get pushy. Well, you can complain, just don't imagine any sympathy will be forthcoming. Let me tell you about the thing with the shoes--there's more to the story than what we humble Men have been told. A lot more. If this is paranoid schizophrenia, which I strongly doubt--have I not demonstrated, c'mon--let it be known that my best guess would be: it was the shoes.

anytime

looking forward to celebrating National Floyd Day

By the way, which one's Pink? Hah, just kidding. I could not resist! I do think I am funny, I do! So when I think of one that is guaranteed laughs, I gotta go with it, it's just my nature.

You're welcome, anytime.

49 hours from now. Thanked and witnessed. Wait longer, if one must--isn't there some hobby that you've always wanted to spend more time on? Please, do not let me stop you. Now, do I have to type 'Excelsior' here in order to get this past the veil? Oh, thank God, thank everything and everyone--this time, it's just me. Okay, great.

This' totally worth shadowbanning me over. Why not, right? Someone asked for that, B4. Tell me it wasn't Mad Man Markham or Mel or Mr. Fidget, that's all I ask. Lie to me once more.

, tell me everything about how you came to select the accordion as an instrument you chose to actually pick up, if you would please? I am frankly, honestly curious! Explain everything. Omit something.

I found one in a junk store and bought it for $80.   I wanted something more portable than a piano for when we play together on holidays, especially since I have a couple cousins taking piano who deserved their chance at the bench.

I have never heard him play and, since I am a complete self-taught hack, I'm not in a position to render judgment.  As far as safety, the only real danger is to your nipples.  There is a pleasant frisson of danger.

The accordion, I mean. Can one actually injure oneself without an approved neck strap?

It is more of a shoulder harness, which is necessary since your hands are too occupied with the buttons to contribute any lift.

Back to the accordion talk. P.S. You're hired, position is yours. You have 48 hours to finalize--you can drop it in less than a picosecond, I would assume. Fealty swearing not required, nor desired.

I will try to learn Every Rose Has Its Thorn but I suggest you have a backup plan since I am not very good at committing long sequences of button-pushes to memory.  If you need it within 48 hours it might be better to hire someone with a sweet and melodious hum.

But I'm the wrong guy to screw with, I absolutely WILL know if it is a "popper" and if it is, I'll thank whoever put it there kindly, I'd love to dissect one of those."

Wait, what am I pasting here? I didn't write that. I just totally stole it, and used it without attribution. Well, shucks, I guess I just disqualified myself. Can you guys take over and finish this off? Thanks, I'm gonna go, like, decompress, or something. Hey, you guys wanna get some beers later? I could totally use one after all that! See you at eleven? Perfect, thanks for the invite.

Now I am -really- distracted. \o/ Perfect time for a vacation, honestly.

I could really go to town in the totem-pole room.  The protestors have occupied what is essentially the gayborhood which, with due respect to our history, is now being called "unceded Duwamish territory".  Here is my favorite bit:

https://www.thestranger.com/slog/2020/06/09/43873501/the-dawn-of-free-capitol-hill

It was here that the conversation began to quickly unspool. The emceesâ€"mostly Black menâ€"began to take issue with Sawant’s politicking, saying that 50 percent isn’t 100 percent, pressing her about “what side she’s on.” Sawant said that she couldn’t provide a one-word answer for how to abolish police within a capitalist society, and argued that anyone who said they could was bullshitting.

All nuance to the conversation was lost when a speaker mocked Sawant’s accent while talking over her, eliciting boos from the audience and calls for him to be taken off the mic.

You don't have damage to your spinal cord, do you? I remember what that was like. Nipples uber alles, that's exactly how it was. Sigh.

a shoulder harness, which is necessary

Yep. Throughly disqualified here. I'm getting a spike headache just imagining getting the required shaving done. Now, I'm not entirely sure why, but I'm getting a strong intuitive sense, that no one ever is going to confuse you with me. You're the accordion guy, and I'm not. This is probably true in at least half of the required timelines.

I mean, I could learn what all that I just typed actually means, but I could not learn to play the accordion at all. The reverse is likely true for you, and if not, it doesn't have to be all that precise. There's plenty of stuff that distinguishes you and I, and if there wasn't a month ago, there sure as shootin' is now.

I will try to learn Every Rose Has Its Thorn but

Play three notes, then pause for the audience to void their bowels. If that doesn't happen, great--just blame "licencing issues" and move right along. Don't play five notes in a row when I'm around--I'm gonna groan like a beached manatee. I'm not even kidding. I despise that song. It's like my Kryptonite. Except I don't have any weaknesses like that, but whatever. You get the idea.

I suggest you have a backup plan

I think we can trust that.

If you need it within 48 hours

Nope, I don't need it at all. My relief is quite palpable. No, palpation is not allowed.


Just think, They could have handled all of this falderal with a simple dance-off in the 80s. It was a simpler time. And let that be the last of the nostalgia kept around from that time.

So, how many miles are you from Alderwood Mall? I'm at... let's see... like, 7. Too far to run. Too hilly to drive direct. Too much attention to fly. I'm so grounded these days anyway, y'all can imagine, but y'all have no idea.
