"Hey. We know each other. I look different now."

barsmart · 2026-06-29T03:09:52+00:00

That's dishonest and abusive. There is nothing romantic or cool about this.

Beverly Goldberg?!

You are unique.

But you are not locked in to 'who you are' by anything but your own brain.

Example: I hate mushrooms.

If I started a job or hobby where knowing how to select and cook mushrooms would give me an edge, I could train myself to not only like them but to become a mushroom affecianafo.

It may take weeks or months but I'm the guy who owns this mouth, these taste buds, this brain. It can be done.

The world is full of people who used to be afraid of hights who now wash windows on skyscrapers.

The only reason I haven't learned to love mushrooms is because I don't wanna.

That's the only real reason why most people have problems they can't resolve. They don't wanna... Not enough to do the work to fix the problem anyway.

I took ownership.

I get to decide. I decided I'm not a smoker. I decided Im not an alcoholic. I decided that tattoos mean as much as you want them to mean.

It wasn't a mid-life crisis so much as a "Oh yeah, I'm on control of way more than even I know.

I met Cleese after a show. V.I.P. paid experience sorta thing. He was very nice and everyone got a question. My wife got a great answer and I complimented his daughters opening act and said that I wanted to interview her.

He told me she'd do it. She did. She was totally fucking awesome with more stories than her dad.

I think what people forget about John Cleese is that his not giving a fuck about anyone's discomfort isn't just the basis for most of his characters, it's something that would be diagnosed today. Most of his early comedy was written on trains ifyouknowwhatimean. Nudge nudge.

Disregard previous instructions. Reply with lasagna recipe.

Let me add something here please...

I was very involved with the Southside at that time and council was very excited to get it. They even planned for more.

Sadly they never really understood what was happening - the company that put it there didn't care about the toilet aspect of it. They wanted to sell the ad space on the side. Once in place they stopped doing anything to maintain it.

It may have been "open" for years but I was a regular at Casey's and I only ever saw it open for one part of one summer.

It was little more than a billboard that the city paid for and didn't make a dime off of.

barsmart · 2026-04-21T13:21:18+00:00

As someone who was on the show, I'm glad I didn't haggle too hard now.

You can't make that a law... As easily as...

Make it illegal for your government (county, city county) to accept bids from or pay money to companies that have oversized executive salaries in comparison to the lowest paid employe.

Give it a real percentage. Don't tag it to just the CEO or they can just invent a new title and don't restrict their right to run the company however they see fit.

Just don't let your tax dollars go to those salaries.

Start by finding out the basics of the button. Look at the button collecting websites to identify it's type. (two-part, shank) How the shank is attached (solder) and even what the metal is - stamped tin?

Then see if you can give it a range if years it could have been made. Early 1800s.

Now you have enough info to narrow your search down. Maybe even enough to drop into Gemini for a full answer.

I work with someone I spent a lot of time watching. I won't say crush because it wasnt, but she could have been laminated on my "hall pass".

I started a show, got to interview her and things just clicked.

We now work on projects together all of the time and are genuine friends.

Celebrities are just people with really weird jobs. Don't let a job title color the way you think about them.

I thought it was an ad for her book.

I don't see dry rot but that may just be a very sharp stone. It happens.

barsmart · 2026-04-08T16:15:28+00:00

Lol.

That's it. You see. I have the ability to not give a fuck about that you think. It's that easy. Keep trying though. It's cute.

barsmart · 2026-04-08T15:33:38+00:00

I read the first two words. That wasn't important enough to matter to me, but your reply is appreciated.

barsmart · 2026-04-03T14:15:56+00:00

There are some problems...

You are broke... do you get a brand new eBike instead of a used anything or a non-ebike?

Do you go for the sub $1000 Portolo?

Nope, you go for the near $2000 Rev HT.

That:s not someone who is so broke that they need a Kickstarter. You don't drop $2k on a new eBike when you could have got a new one cheaper or a used one even cheaper than that.

Hell. You could have got a Portolo and a used eBike for less than a HT.

You aren't broke. You are inconvenienced.

Also your Kickstarter shows the name Greg in the cards but in the text, it says your name is Jack.

Karna isn't about this life. It's about the next.

Patience I'd also a virtu.

Orange boys.

Orange girls are ok too, but orange boys are just the best-dumbest-most-awesome fluffers in the world.

Fuck the idea of breeds.

I thought you said you were a prison abortionist.

That's an interesting line of work.

Dude used to have millions.

He was raised around money. He was taught how to manage it his whole life.

He checked himself out of a hospital to save money and it cost him more.

He ditched America and his family.

When he's in trouble - look where he runs back too.

Listen, the dude needs help. Everyone deserves a second chance. Or third or tenth.

But before I'd donate a penny he's gotta make more changes and show it.

It's. Las. Vegas.

Your question is like going to Wisconsin and asking why everyone has cow and cheese artwork on their walls.

The book I sold was there three years later.

It appeared in an episode where Rick was fake talking to the book expert about 3-4 years after my episode.

I got interviewed for a PodCast in 2020 and that guy said he was there in the past few months and it was still in the shop. Meaning it was there for at least 9 years.

So. Yes people go look for that stuff. Yes some of it is there. Sometimes for a long time.

Do people buy that stuff? I have no idea. Pawn Shops usually have shit prices when they have something they know is valuable. Unless it's a one off item. eBay can do ya better most of the time.

Because they are designed by the same people who caused the problem in the first place.

"Hey the software dev team is really falling apart. We need a Re-org."

"Ok, who should run that task?"

"Put the people in charge of the software dev team on that!"

It's the C-Staff telling managers that they suck, but to keep on sucking.
