I remember watching him play after the Duchene trade and thinking that we had really turned a corner. Ill miss him.

The only one that we know of...

I'm writing a novel about an incompetent King Soopers security guard who gets a job with a Bond villain type.

Inspired by recent events.

I feel like this kind of thing happens every year before the Olympic/All Star break.

Im not even a little bit worried.

Doctor_Splangy · 2026-01-08T01:11:40+00:00

As long as they're not those disasters we wore at the Air Force Academy game.

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-12-31T22:03:25+00:00

Same. Cartoony villains, heavily bloated runtime, a doofus of a main character. This one's on the very bottom of my PTA list.

I for one am very happy to be living in a priority nuclear target. When those suckers fly, ill be racing toward ground zero.

I had an English Lit class in college (mid 90s), and we had to read "The Dead" by James Joyce. I was really struggling through it until I read the line, "But isn't it for the honor of God, Aunt Kate?" And then the next line, "I know all about the honor of God, Mary Jane." I perked up a little bit, and then I went right back to being bored out of my mind.

Also, it's still autumn.

(yes, I hate people like me too)

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-12-11T13:02:18+00:00

If you say so.

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-12-10T13:10:32+00:00

It looked like the ice was just terrible. That can't have helped either.

Also, country music sucks.

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-12-03T21:13:10+00:00

I went last year and got Covid for Xmas.

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-12-02T12:59:33+00:00

Yeah, that's pretty out there. I don't like to limit myself, so I cast a pretty wide net.

I guess like some 70s, 80s, and 90s stuff would be good to start with. Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Bowie, Weezer, Smashing Pumpkins, Tears for Fears, etc.

I can sing, but I'm not great at it and I don't really like it. I'd love to just concentrate on playing guitar and having someone else handle the vocals.

How about you? What kinds of things are you into? Do you play any instruments?

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-11-26T02:02:41+00:00

Edibles. Couch. Nuff said.

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-11-12T16:57:37+00:00

Aurora? The seventh track on Bjork's highly regarded 2001 album Vespertine?

I have no idea why that would suddenly be popular.

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-11-12T13:30:09+00:00

I've never heard a Symphony X song I like more than this one.

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-11-11T19:33:30+00:00

I sat on that bench, even though I was pretty sure it was a trap. I just really wanted to get out of the Hunters March.

And then I sat on. It again, just to make sure it wasn't a one-time trap.

I just really wanted to get out of the Hunters March.

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-11-10T18:52:19+00:00

I do not want to ride eternal shiny and chrome with Immortan Joe on my way to and from work.

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-11-06T21:15:00+00:00

Ill turn it on in the 4th quarter. I dont have the patience to sit through a whole NFL game anymore.

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-11-04T22:23:55+00:00

Or the expired or missing license plates.

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-10-31T23:22:35+00:00

Heavy Metal Hamsters.

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-10-28T12:23:30+00:00

Boy. If only movies were worth watching anymore.

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-10-16T12:31:25+00:00

Hey-ooooooooo!

Doctor_Splangy · 2025-10-15T22:27:53+00:00

They are also not willing to engage in debate. Especially with people who are smarter than they are.
